Safety information

Before installing and first using the tumble dryer, read this instruction booklet carefully, including its hints and warnings. To avoid unnecessary mistakes and accidents, it is important to ensure that all people using the dryer are thoroughly familiar with its operation and safety features. Save these instructions and make sure they remain with the tumble dryer if it is moved or sold, so that everyone using it through its life can be properly informed on appliance use and safety.

Installation and servicing

All installation work should be done by a qualified or competent person. Any servicing must be carried by a qualified and authorised engineer. Work performed by persons with inadequate knowledge may adversely affect the satisfactory functioning of the product and may cause personal injury or damage. Before any work is carried out on the tumble dryer, it must be isolated from the electrical supply. To do this the power plug must be removed from the wall socket.

The machine is heavy, so take care when moving it.

This appliance must be installed in a clean, dry environment. Cabinet damage, which is not covered by guarantee, could result if this recommendation is not followed.

The power cable must be plugged into an earthed socket, which must be easily accessible. Permanent installation must only be carried out by an authorised electrician or competent person.

If the power cable is damaged, it must be replaced by a Service Force engineer. Please contact your local service centre on 08705 929 929.

Make sure that the power cable is not nipped or otherwise damaged when moving the machine when installing or cleaning etc.

The ventilation opening at the bottom of the door should not be obstructed if the dryer is on a carpeted floor.

The adjustable feet must not be removed, these ensure that the underside of the dryer is ventilated.

Servicing and possible repairs must be carried out by a Service Force engineer. Always insist on genuine spare parts. Never try to repair the machine yourself.

During Use

This dryer is intended only for normal domestic drying of laundry and only in accordance with these instructions. Using it for other purposes could lead to physical injury or damage to property and invalidate the guarantee.

Care must be taken when removing or replacing the condensor as it can be awkward and heavy.

Do not overload the dryer (see “Using your appliance”).

Never start the dryer unless the fluff filter is clean and correctly in place, or if the fluff filter is damaged (this could cause overheating or damage your laundry).

Get into the habit of cleaning the condenser at regular intervals. Keeping the condenser as clean as possible makes the dryer more efficient and means shorter drying times.

Do not allow fluff to accumulate around the dryer.

As some bulky items such as duvets and eiderdowns should be dried in large commercial machines because of their bulk, check with the manufacturer of the item if it is suitable for drying in a domestic machine, even if the dry weight of the item is within the limit advised.

Laundry which has been in contact with chemicals such as dry cleaning fluid and similar, should not be dried in the machine, since volatile chemicals can be a fire risk.

The following items/materials should not be dried in the machine either:

Pillows, cushions, down-filled items etc. (these cause a build-up of heat and can make the dryer overheat)

Wool, on account of its tendency to mat

Especially sensitive textiles, such as synthetic curtains, silk etc.

Child Safety

The tumble dryer should be used by adults only. Do not let children play with the controls or other parts of it.

Do not allow children to play with the packaking. Risk of suffocation.

Before loading the machine, check that there are no foreign objects or pets inside the drum.

Garments made of foam rubber or rubber-like materials must not be dried in the machine.

Make sure that the machine is disconnected from the power supply during cleaning and maintenance work.

Always switch off and unplug the appliance after use. When removing the electrical plug, grip the plug, not the cable. Never touch the switch or plug with wet hands!
