Warning

Risk of death!

The appliance is powered by electricity. 

There is a risk of electric shock if you 

come into contact with live components. 

Therefore please note:

Switch off the appliance. Disconnect 

the appliance from the power supply 

(pull out the plug).

Never take hold of the mains plug 

with wet hands.

When removing the mains plug from 

the socket, always take hold of the 

plug itself and never the mains 

cable, otherwise this may damage 

the mains cable.

Do not make any technical 

modifications to the appliance or its 

features.

Repairs and any other work on the 

appliance must only be conducted 

by our customer service or by an 

electrician. The same applies for 

replacing the mains cable (when 

necessary).

Spare mains cables can be ordered 

from our customer service.

:

Warning

Risk of poisoning!

Poisonous fumes may be given off by 

cleaning agents that contain solvents, 

e.g. cleaning solvent.

Do not use cleaning agents that contain 

solvents.

:

Warning

Risk of electric shock/material 

damage/damage to the appliance!

If moisture penetrates the appliance, 

this may cause it to short circuit.

Do not use a pressure washer, steam 

cleaner, hose or spray gun to clean 

your appliance.

Caution!

Material damage/damage to the 

appliance

Cleaning agents and agents for 

pretreating laundry (e.g. stain removers, 

prewash sprays, etc.) may cause 

damage if they come into contact with 

the surfaces of the appliance. Therefore 

please note:

Do not allow these agents to come 

into contact with the surfaces of the 

appliance.

Clean the appliance with nothing but 

water and a soft, damp cloth.

Remove any detergent, spray or 

other residues immediately.

Cleaning the moisture sensor

Note:  

The moisture sensor measures 

the amount of moisture in the laundry. 

After long periods of usage, the 

moisture sensor may become covered 

by a fine layer of limescale or detergent 

and care product residue. These 

deposits must be removed regularly, 

otherwise the drying results may not be 

optimal.
