NOTES ON SAFETY
l This product is an electrical appliance that is used
exclusively for indoor drying fabrics washed in water. Use
of safe power supply during the operation!
l The power source must be grounded. The grounding cable must be buried underground and must not be
connected to the utilities network, such as water pipe or
gas pipe. Grounding and neutral wire and must be distinguished and may not be connected together.
l The power cord must comply with IEC standards
and withstand current greater than 10A. If these requirements are not met, you should immediately adapt your
domestic electrical system to ensure the safety of your
household.
l The appliance can dry up to 8 kg of washed laundry.
l Do not dry chemically cleaned clothes in the dryer
l Do not dry dirty laundry.
l Laundry contaminated with substances such as
cooking oil, acetone, alcohol, petrol, kerosene, stain
removers, turpentine, wax and wax removers must be
washed in warm water with detergent before drying in the
dryer.
l Do not attempt to dry the foam rubber (latex foam),
bathing caps, waterproof textiles, rubber-lined clothing or
pillows tted with rubber pads in your tumble dryer.
l Fabric softeners or similar products should be as
specied in the relevant directions for use.
4
Page 5
NOTES ON SAFETY
l Laundry is not heated in the last part of the drying
cycle. It is the cooling cycle to make sure the laundry is
not damaged and has the right temperature.
l Filters should be cleaned each you use the appliance.
l Always keep the appliance clean.
l The room where the appliance is used must have
adequate ventilation. Do not install the appliance in the
same room where you use other appliances that produce
exhaust fumes and other combustion gases..
l CAUTION: Do not turn off the dryer before the drying cycle ends unless the laundry will be quickly removed
and hung out in order to dissipate heat.
l Air from the appliance must not be discharged to a
chimney used for discharging ue gas from combustion
appliances that burn gas or other fuels.
l The appliance must be installed in such a way as to
ensure unlimited access to it and the dryer door may be
fully opened.
l Keep pets away from the machine.
l Laundry contaminated with oil may ignite sponta-
neously, especially in the heat generated in a tumble dryer. Heating oil causes oxidation reaction. The oxidation
produces additional heat. If the heat cannot dissipate,
the laundry can become hot enough that ignition occurs.
Stacking fabrics soiled with oil can prevent heat dissipa-
tion and create a re hazard.

Page 6
NOTES ON SAFETY
l If you cannot avoid tumble drying fabrics soiled with
vegetable oil, cooking oil or dirty hair care products, you

IV. Tips
1. Spin the laundry in the washing machine before tumble drying. The high spin speed can
reduce the drying time and save energy.
2. To make sure the drying effects are uniform, sort the laundry by fabric type and drying
program.
3. Before the drying close the locks, hooks and buttons, etc.
4. Do not over-dry clothes, as they can easily crease or shrink.
5. Do not dry articles such as raincoats, bike covers or similar exible materials containing
rubber parts.
6. The appliance door can be opened only once the drying programme has completed.
Do not open the door during the drying programme as this may result in scalding by hot
appliance parts or hot clothing.
7. To avoid extended drying cycles and increased energy consumption, clean the appli-
ance lters after each use. Remember to empty the container with water discharged during
drying.
8. Use only the dedicated programme to dry woollen garments.
9. Recommended load depending on the kind of laundry to be dried.

cause the extension of drying time and energy use; therefore, the lint lter must be cleaned after each
use.
2. Unplug the power cord before cleaning!
3. Do not operate the dryer without the lint lter !
4. Clean the lint lter after each use to prevent lint accumulation inside the dryer.

- Allow the dryer to cool down.
- Residual water may escape, so place an absorbent cloth under the maintenance
ap.
1. Unlock the maintenance ap.
2. Completely open the maintenance ap.
3. Undo both locking levers towards each other.
4. Pull out the air condenser.
5. Clean the air condenser completely, drain thoroughly.
6. Clean the seals.
7. Re-insert the air condenser.
8. Tighten both locking levers.
9. Close the maintenance ap until it locks into position. Clean the air condenser
once every 3 months if frequently used. Do not damage the air condenser!
