SAFETY INFORMATION

Before the installation and use of the appliance, carefully read the supplied instructions. The manufacturer is not responsible if an incorrect installation and use causes injuries and damages. Always keep the instructions with the appliance for future reference.

CHILDREN AND VULNERABLE PEOPLE SAFETY

WARNING!

Risk of suffocation, injury or permanent disability.

•Do not let persons, children included, with reduced physical sensory, reduced mental functions or lack of experience and knowledge use the appliance. They must have supervision or instruction for the operation of the appliance by a person who is responsible for their safety.

•Do not let children play with the appliance.

•Keep all packaging away from children.

•Keep all detergents away from children.

•Keep children and pets away from the appliance door when it is open.

•If the appliance has a child safety device, we recommend you activate it.

CHILD SAFETY DEVICE

•When you activate this device, you cannot close the door. This prevents children or pets to be closed in the drum. To activate the device, turn it clockwise, until the groove is horizontal. To deactivate the device, turn it counterclockwise, until the groove is vertical.

GENERAL SAFETY

•Do not use the appliance for professional use. The appliance is only for domestic use.

•Do not change the specifications of this appliance. There is the risk of injury and damage to the appliance.

•Do not dry not washed items in the appliance.

•Do not use the drying programme if you have used industrial chemicals for cleaning.

•When you load the appliance make sure that no gas lighters or matches are accidentally left in the garments pockets .

•Wash in hot water with extra detergent before you dry the items that have stains of substances such as cooking oil acetone, petrol, kerosene, spot removers, turpentine, waxes and wax removers .

•Do not dry in this appliance items such as foam rubber (latex foam), shower caps, waterproof textiles (if there is no special drying programme), rubber backed articles and clothes or pillows fitted with foam rubber pads.

•Oil-affected items can ignite spontaneously, especially when exposed to heat sources such as in a drying programme. The items become warm, causing an oxidation reaction in the oil. Oxidation creates heat. If the heat cannot escape, the items can become hot enough to catch fire. Piling, stacking or storing oilaffected items can prevent heat from escaping and so create a fire hazard.

If you can not avoid that you dry fabrics that contain vegetable or cooking oil or products contaminated by hair care, first wash them in hot water with extra detergent - this will reduce, but not eliminate, the hazard.

The final part of the drying programme occurs without heat (cool down cycle) to ensure that the items are left at a temperature that ensures that items will not be damaged.

•Do not install the appliance behind a lockable door, a sliding door, a door

with a hinge on the opposite side in such a way that a full opening of the door is restricted.

•Fabric softener or equivalent products must be used as specified by the fabric softener manufacturer.

•Obey the safety instructions on the detergent packaging to prevent burns to eyes, mouth and throat.

•Plastic items are not heat resistant.

–If you use a detergent ball, remove it before you set the drying programme.

–Do not use a detergent ball when you set a non-stop programme.

WARNING!

Risk of explosion or fire.

•Do not put flammable products or items that are wet with flammable products in, near or on the appliance. if it is not possible to avoid it, fully rinse with extra water items cleaned with flammable products.

•To prevent from the risk of self combustion do not stop the drying programme before the end of the drying cycle unless all items are quickly removed and spread out so that the heat is dissipated.

WARNING!

Risk of burns!

•When you interrupt the drying programme, the laundry and the drum may be hot. Remove the laundry carefully.

•Do not touch the glass of the door while a programme operates. The glass can be hot.
