CHOOSING THE LANGUAGE

When the dryer is connected (see chapter "INSTALLATION AND CONNECTION") and switched on for the first time, choose the preferred language:

1. Press the button 2 or the program selector button to scroll the list of languages. Confirm your selection by pressing the OK button.
2. Press the "Finalize" button to confirm your selection. For further drying process, see chapter "DRYING PROCESS".

When you run the dryer for the first time, or if the dryer has been out of use for a long time, slight hitting noise may occur. This is normal and it will disappear after a few drying cycles.

TIPS BEFORE DRYING

This chapter includes several tips on how to prepare the laundry for drying.

LAUNDRY SORTING

Sort the laundry according to:

• type,
• fabric thickness.

For the most even drying, make sure the laundry is made of a similar material.

CLOTHING

1. Close the buttons, zips, and hook-and-loop fasteners, so that they do not damage the fabric.
2. Turn the pockets inside out.
3. Place very sensitive clothes in a special-purpose laundry washing bag.

Laundry to be dried in the dryer should be spun at a minimum of 1000 rpm. Higher spinning speeds will save energy and cut drying time.

If you decide to dry only one large item, we recommend drying it separately from smaller items of laundry
