 Heat pump technology and refrigerant:
this tumble dryer uses a gaseous refrigerant which is condensed by
the compressor. The refrigerant, which is brought to a higher temper-
ature level and liquefied by condensing, is led in a closed circuit
through the heat exchanger unit where heat exchange with the circu-
lating drying air takes place.
 Damage to the tumble dryer by switching it on too soon.
This can damage the heat pump.
After setting up the tumble dryer wait for at least one hour before
switching it on.
- The humming noises caused by the heat pump during the drying
process are normal. They do not impair the efficient functioning of
the dryer.
- The refrigerant is not flammable or explosive.
- This tumble dryer contains fluorinated greenhouse gases. Her-
metically sealed.
