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.
CAUTION Risk of cutting! Touching sharp edges on the appliance may lead to cuts. Do not touch the sharp edges on the appliance.

WARNING Risk of harm to health! Children can lock themselves in the appliance, thereby putting their lives at risk. Do not install the appliance behind a door as this may obstruct
the appliance door or prevent it from opening. With redundant appliances, unplug the power cord. Then cut
through the cord and damage the lock on the appliance door beyond repair so that the appliance door will no longer close. When spinning larger, waterproof items of laundry, imbalances may arise and lead to injuries. Do not wash and spin larger items of laundry, such as blankets or mattress covers, in the appliance.
WARNING Risk of suffocation! Children may breathe in or swallow small parts, causing them to suffocate. Keep small parts away from children. Do not let children play with small parts.

2Preventing material Preventingmaterialdamage damage
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. “Programmes”, Page 23 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.

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 100 kPa (1 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.
