1.4Safe installation WARNING Risk of electric shock!
Incorrect installation is dangerous. Connect and operate the appliance only in
accordance with the
specifications on the rating plate. Connect the appliance to a power supply
with alternating cur-
rent only via a properly installed socket with earthing. The protective
conductor system of the domestic electrical in-
stallation must be properly installed. The installation must have a
sufficiently large cross section. When using a residual current circuit
breaker, only use a type with the mark. Never equip the appliance with an
external switching device, e.g. a timer or remote control. When the appliance
is installed, the mains plug of the power cord must be freely accessible. If
free access is not possible, an all-pole isolating switch must be installed in
the permanent electrical installation according to the installation
regulations. When installing the appliance, check that the power cable is not
trapped or damaged. If the insulation of the power cord is damaged, this is
dangerous. Never let the power cord come into contact with hot appliance parts
or heat sources. Never let the power cord come into contact with sharp points
or edges. Never kink, crush or modify the power cord.
WARNING Risk of fire! It is dangerous to use an extended power cord and non-
approved adapters. Do not use extension cables or multiple socket strips. Only
use adapters and power cords approved by the manufac-
turer. If the power cord is too short and a longer one is not available,
please contact an electrician to have the domestic installation adapted.

WARNING Risk of injury! The heavy weight of the appliance may result in injury
when lifted. Do not lift the appliance on your own. If this appliance is not
correctly installed in a washer-dryer stack, the installed appliance may fall.
Only stack the dryer on a washing machine using the connec-
tion kit from the dryer manufacturer . No other installation method is
permitted. Do not install the appliance in a washer-dryer stack if the dryer
manufacturer does not offer a suitable connection kit. Do not install
appliances from different manufacturers and with varying depths and widths in
a washer-dryer stack. Do not install a washer-dryer stack on a platform; the
appliances may tip over.
WARNING Risk of suffocation! Children may put packaging material over their
heads or wrap themselves up in it and suffocate. Keep packaging material away
from children. Do not let children play with packaging material.
CAUTION Risk of injury! The appliance may vibrate or move when in use. Place
the appliance on a clean, even, solid surface. Align the appliance using the
appliance feet and a spirit level. If hoses and power cords have been laid
incorrectly, this causes a tripping hazard. Lay hoses and power cords in such
a way that there is no risk
of tripping. If the appliance is moved by holding onto protruding components,
such as the appliance door, the parts may break off. Do not move the appliance
by holding onto protruding parts.

Preventing material damage
ATTENTION! The functionality of the appliance may be impaired if you use the
wrong quantity of fabric softener, detergent, care product or cleaning agent.
Follow the dosage recommenda-
tions from the manufacturer. Exceeding the maximum load capacity impairs the
function of the appliance. Observe the maximum load capa-
city for each programme and do not exceed it. The appliance is secured for
transportation using transit bolts. Transit bolts which have not been removed
may result in material damage and damage to the appliance. Before starting up
the appliance, remove the transit bolts completely and keep them in a safe
place. Before transport, fit the transit bolts fully in order to prevent
damage in transit. Material damage may be caused if the water inlet hose is
connected incorrectly. Tighten the screw connections on the water inlet until
they are handtight. Connect the water inlet hose directly to the water tap,
without any additional connecting elements such as adapters, extensions or
valves. Ensure that the inner diameter of the water tap is at least 17 mm.
Make sure that the length of the thread on the connection to the water tap is
at least 10 mm.
Preventing material damageen If the water pressure is too high or too low, the
appliance may not be able to operate properly. Ensure that the water pressure
in
the water supply system is at least 30 kPa (0.3 bar) and max. 1000 kPa (10
bar). If the water pressure exceeds the maximum value specified, a pressure-
reducing valve must be installed between the drinking water connection and the
hose set of the appliance. Do not connect the appliance to the mixer tap of an
unpressurised hot-water boiler. Modified or damaged water hoses may result in
material damage and damage to the appliance. Never kink, crush, modify or cut
through water hoses. Only use the water hoses supplied with the appliance or
genuine spare hoses. Never re-use water hoses that have been used before.
Operating the appliance using water that is dirty or too hot may lead to
material damage and damage to the appliance. Only operate the appliance with
cold mains water. Unsuitable cleaning products may damage the surfaces of the
appliance. Do not use harsh or abrasive detergents. Do not use cleaning
products with a high alcohol content. Do not use hard scouring pads or
cleaning sponges. Clean the appliance with nothing but water and a soft, damp
cloth. Remove all detergent residue, spray residue or other residues
immediately if they come into contact with the appliance.
