• Suffi cient ventilation is required to
prevent smoke from open fi res or
fumes from equipment burning other
fuels being sucked into the room when
the tumble dryer is running.

• Do not dry dirty laundry in the tumble
dryer.

• Items that are stained with e.g.
cooking oil, acetone, alcohol, petrol,
kerosene, stain remover, turpentine,
wax and wax remover should be
washed in hot water with extra
detergent before they go in the
tumbler dryer.

• Items such as foam rubber, latex,
plastic, waterproof textiles, rubber­coated items and clothes and foam­rubber fi lled cushions must not be
dried in the tumbler dryer.

• Fabric softener or similar products
should be used as per the

recommendations of the detergent
manufacturer.

they do not play with the machine.

Safety

• The machine must not be used for
drying items that have been dry­cleaned at home or fabrics that may

Safety instructions

Transport/Winter storage

If you need to move your machine or
store it over the winter in unheated
premises, make sure that you drain the
condensed water container beforehand.

Packing material

Sort waste materials in accordance with
local guidelines.

Recycling

This machine is manufactured and
labelled for recycling. In order to prevent
personal injury, the machine must be
made inoperable after deciding to take
it out of service. Contact your local
authority for information about where and
how your machine should be correctly
recycled.

To minimize the risk of fi re in a
tumble dryer, the following should be
observed:

• Items that have been spotted or
soaked with vegetable or cooking
oil constitute a fi re hazard and
should not be placed in a tumble
dryer. Oil-aff ected 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 fi re. Piling,
stacking or storing oil-aff ected items
can prevent heat from escaping
and so create a fi re 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
fi rst be washed in hot water with extra
detergent - this will reduce, but not
eliminate, the hazard. The ’cool down’
cycle of tumble dryers should be
used to reduce the temperature of the
items. They should not be removed
from the tumble dryer or piled or
stacked while hot.

• Items that have been previously
cleaned in, washed in, soaked in or
spotted with petrol/gasoline, dry­cleaning solvents or other fl ammable
or explosive substances should not
be placed in a tumble dryer. Highly
fl ammable substances commonly
used in domestic environments
include acetone, denatured alcohol,
petrol/gasoline, kerosene, spot
removers (some brands), turpentine,
waxes and wax removers.

Safety instructions

• Items containing foam rubber (also
known as latex foam) or similarly
textured rubberlike materials should
not be dried in a tumble dryer on a
heat setting. Foam rubber materials
can, when heated, produce fi re by
spontaneous combustion.

• Fabric softeners or similar products
should not be used in a tumble dryer
to eliminate the eff ects of static
electricity unless this practice is
specifi cally recommended by the
manufacturer of the fabric softener or
product.

• Undergarments that contain metal
reinforcements should not be placed
in a tumbledryer. Damage to the
tumble dryer can result if metal
reinforcements come loose during
drying. When available a drying rack
could be used for such items.

• Plastic articles such as shower caps
or babies’ waterproof napkin covers
should not be placed in a tumble
dryer. Rubber-backed articles, clothes
fi tted with foam rubber pads, pillows,
galoshes and rubber-coated tennis
shoes should not be placed in a
tumble dryer.

Vented dryers

• There has to be adequate ventilation
to avoid the back fl ow of gases into
the room from appliances burning
other fuels, including open fi res, when
operating the tumble dryer.

• The exhaust air must not be
discharged into a fl ue which is used
for exhausting fumes from appliances
burning gas or other fuels.

CAUTION!

Air from the tumble dryer must not be fed
through ducts used for equipment that
burns gas or other fuels.

Child safety

General

tumble dryer.

• If the door is opened when a program
is running the garments may be very
hot, with a risk of burn injuries.

• The tumble dryer does not start
automatically when the door is closed
(if a child pulls the door shut from the
inside, for example).

Advice and tips before you tumble-dry

Here are some tips that may help you before
you begin tumble-drying.

Have the clothes been spun?

Items to be tumble-dried should be spun at
1000 rpm or faster. Higher spin speeds save
energy and reduce drying time.

Materials that can be tumble-dried

This symbol means that the material is

suitable for tumble-drying. Fabrics best suited
to tumble-drying are cotton fabrics, terry cloth
and synthetic fi bres. Garments will be softer and
lighter when tumbled than when hung out to dry.

NOTE!

The tumble dryer does not cause any signifi cant
wear on fabrics. The lint that collects in the lint
fi lter consists of dust and fi bre residues formed
when the items are used.

Static electricity

To reduce the risk of static electricity in the
laundry after tumble drying you can:

• Use fabric softener when washing.

• Wait fi ve minutes after the drying program
ends before opening the door and removing
the laundry from the dryer.

NOTE!

You can stop the tumble dryer by pressing the
Stop button for three seconds or by opening the
door. In both cases the program is stopped and
starts from the beginning if restarted.
If you do not want to restart the program then
immediately remove all laundry and spread it
out to allow the heat to dissipate.

Materials that must not be tumble­dried

This symbol means that the material is not
suitable for tumble-drying. Certain materials
may melt or become a fi re hazard if exposed to
heat, and others can lose their shape or shrink.

And do not tumble-dry

• materials labelled "Do not dry near heat".

• garments that have been dry-cleaned at

home.

• plastic foam.

• fi breglass material.

• wool because of the risk of felting.
