— Caution, risk of fire

GENERAL SAFETY

• It is dangerous to alter the specifications or attempt to modify this product in any way.

• This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.

• Make sure that small children and pets do not climb inside the drum. To avoid this, please check into the drum before using.

• Any objects such as coins, safety pins, nails, screws, stones or any other hard, sharp material can cause extensive damage and must not be placed into the machine.

• Items such as foam rubber (latex foam), shower caps, waterproof textiles (if there is no special drying programme),

• By clients in serviced apartments, holiday apartments and other residential type environments

rubber backed articles and clothes or pillows fitted with foam rubber pads must not be dried in the tumble dryer.

• Make sure that there is access to the mains plug after the installation.

• Always unplug the appliance after use, cleaning and maintenance.

• Under no circumstances should you attempt to repair the machine yourself. Repairs carried out by inexperienced persons may cause injury or serious malfunctioning. Contact your local Service Centre. Always insist on genuine spare parts.

•Items that have been soiled with substances such as cooking oil, acetone, petrol, kerosene, spot removers, turpentine, waxes and wax removers should be washed in hot water with an extra amount of detergent before being dried in the tumble dryer.

• Danger of explosion: Never tumble dry items that have been in contact with inflammable solvents (petrol, methylated spirits, dry cleaning fluid and the like). As these substances are volatile, they could cause an explosion. Only tumble dry items washed with water.

• Risk of fire: items that have been spotted or soaked with vegetable or cooking oil constitute a fire hazard and should not be placed in the tumble dryer.

• If you have washed your laundry with stain remover you must execute an extra rinse cycle before loading your tumble dryer.

• Please make sure that no gas lighters or matches have accidentally been left in pockets of garments in case they are loaded into the appliance

• The condensed water is not suitable to drink or to prepare food. It can cause health problems to people and pets.

• Do not sit or lean on the load door. The appliance can tilt.

WARNING!

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

• Lint must not be allowed to accumulate around the tumble dryer.

• Risk of electric shock! Do not spray down the appliance with jets of water.

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

• The tumble dryer is not to be used if industrial chemicals have been used for cleaning.

• Ensure you have good ventilation in the installation room to avoid the back flow of gases into the room from appliances burning other fuels, including open fires.

• Oil-affected items can ignite spontaneously, especially when exposed to heat sources such as in a tumble dryer. 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 it is unavoidable that fabrics that contain vegetable or cooking oil or have been contaminated by hair care products be placed in a tumble dryer they should first be washed in hot water with extra detergent - this will reduce, but not eliminate, the hazard.

INSTALLATION

• This appliance is heavy. Be careful when you move the appliance.

• When unpacking the appliance, check that it is not damaged. If in doubt, do not use it and contact the Service Centre.

INSTALLATION

ENGLISH

APPLIANCE POSITIONING

• The tumble dryer must be installed in a clean position, where dirt does not collect.

• Air must flow freely around the appliance. Make sure that the front airflow slots in the bottom of the appliance are not blocked .

• To keep vibration and noise at the minimum, when the tumble dryer operates, it must be put on a stable and flat surface.

• When the appliance is put in its permanent position, check it is fully level with the aid of a spirit level. If it is not, adjust the feet until it is.

• Do not remove the feet. Do not decrease the floor clearance through thick carpets, plank of wood or piece of wood. This can increase the heat which can cause interference with the operation of the appliance.

• The temperature of the hot air inside the tumble dryer can exceed 60 °C. The appliance must not be installed on the floor which is not resistant to high temperatures.

• When the tumble dryer operates, the room temperature must not be lower than +5 °C and higher than +35 °C. This can cause unwanted effect on the performance of the appliance.

• If it is necessary to move the appliance, it must be moved an upright position.

• The appliance must not be installed behind a lockable door, a sliding door, a door with a hinge on the opposite side to that of the appliance in such a way that a full opening of the tumble dryer is restricted.

Before use all parts of the transport packaging must be removed. To remove the polystyrene blockages:
