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.

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.
