Service.
If the dryer is faulty, it must not be operated unless it is repaired

by an authorized service agent! There is the risk of electric shock!

Superheating of the clothes inside of the dryer can occur if you
cancel the programme or in the event of a power failure whilst
the dryer is running, this concentration of heat can cause self­combustion and fire so always activate the ventilation programme
to cool down or quickly remove all laundry from the dryer in order
to hang them up and dissipate the heat.

Dryer / User Manual

Important instructions for safety and
environment

Points to be taken into consideration for fire hazard:

Below specified laundry or items must not be dried in the dryer
considering fire hazard.

• Unwashed laundry items

• Items soiled with oil, acetone, alcohol, fuel oil, kerosene, stain
removers, turpentine, paraffin or paraffin removers must be
washed in hot water with plenty of detergent before being dried
in the dryer.

For this reason especially the items containing the above specified
stains must be washed very well, to do this use adequate
detergent and choose a high washing temperature.

Below specified laundry or items must not be dried in the
dryer due to the fire hazard:

• Garments or pillows bolstered with rubber foam (latex foam),
shower bonnets, water resistant textiles, materials with rubber
reinforcement and rubber foam pads.

• Clothing cleaned with industrial chemicals.

Items such as lighter, match, coins, metal parts, needle etc.
may damage the drum set or may lead to functional problems.
Therefore check all the laundry that you will load into your dryer.
Never stop your dryer before the programme completes. If you
must do this, remove all laundry quickly and lay them out to
dissipate the heat.

Clothes that are washed inadequately may ignite on their own and
even may ignite after drying ends.

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 oil-affected items
can prevent heat from escaping and so create a fire hazard.

Important instructions for safety and
environment

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.

• You must provide enough ventilation in order to prevent gases exiting
from devices operating with other types of fuels including the naked flame
from accumulating in the room due to the back fire effect.

• There must not be a lockable, sliding or hinged door that may block
the opening of the loading door in the place where your dryer is to be
installed.

• Install your dryer at places suitable for home use. (Bathroom, closed
balcony, garage etc.)

• Make sure that pets do not enter the dryer. Check the inside of the dryer
before operating it.

• Do not lean on the loading door of your dryer when it is open, otherwise it
may fall over.

• The lint must not be allowed to accumulate around the tumble dryer

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