1 Importanti informazioni di sicurezza

Questa sezione comprende informazioni di sicurezza che aiutano a proteggersi da rischi di lesioni personali o danni materiali. La mancata osservanza di queste istruzioni rende non valida qualunque garanzia e assicurazione di affidabilità.

Sicurezza generale

•Non mettere mai l’elettrodomestico su un pavimento coperto da tappeto, altrimenti la mancanza di flusso d’aria

sotto all’elettrodomestico può provocare il surriscaldamento delle parti elettriche. Ciò provocherà malfunzionamenti della macchina.

•Se il cavo di alimentazione o la spina sono danneggiati, chiamare un tecnico autorizzato per l’assistenza.

•Il prodotto non deve essere collegato alla rete elettrica durante l’installazione, i lavori di manutenzione e riparazione. Tali lavori devono essere sempre eseguiti da personale tecnico.

Il produttore non deve essere considerato responsabile di danni derivanti da processi eseguiti da persone non autorizzate.

•Collegare il prodotto a una presa di terra appropriata, protetta da un fusibile di capacità adeguata come dichiarato nella tabella con le specifiche tecniche.

•Utilizzare l’elettrodomestico a temperature comprese fra +5 °C e +35 °C.

•Non usare dispositivi elettrici nel prodotto.

•Non collegare l’uscita dell’aria del prodotto alle aperture del camino usate per i fumi di scarico dei dispositivi che funzionano a gas o con altri tipi di carburante.

•Bisogna garantire ventilazione sufficiente per evitare che i gas che fuoriescono da dispositivi operanti con altri tipi di carburante, comprese fiamme libere, si accumulino nella stanza a causa dell’effetto del ritorno della fiamma.

•Pulire sempre i pelucchi dal filtro prima o dopo ogni carico.

•Non usare mai l’asciugatrice senza il filtro per i pelucchi installato.

•Non lasciare che fibre, polvere e sporco si accumulino intorno all’uscita dello scarico e alle aree vicine.

•Una volta terminata l’installazione, la presa di alimentazione deve essere a portata di mano.

•Non usare prolunghe, prese multiple o adattatori per collegare l’asciugatrice all’alimentazione per far diminuire il rischio di shock elettrico.

•Non eseguire modifiche alla spina in dotazione con il prodotto. Se non è compatibile con la presa, far cambiare la presa da un elettricista qualificato.

•Gli articoli puliti o lavati con gasolio/olio combustibile, solventi per bucato a secco e altri materiali combustibili o esplosivi, nonché gli articoli che sono contaminati o macchiati con tali materiali non devono essere asciugati nel prodotto perché emettono vapore infiammabile

o esplosivo.

•Non asciugare nell’asciugatrice i capi lavati con agenti chimici.

•Non asciugare capi non lavati nell’asciugatrice.

•Articoli sporchi di olio da cucina, acetone, alcol, olio combustibile, cherosene, smacchiatori, paraffina, cera e agenti per la rimozione della paraffina devono essere lavati in acqua calda con una quantità extra di detersivo prima di essere asciugati nell’asciugatrice.

•Capi o cuscini con gommapiuma (schiuma di lattice), cuffiette per la doccia, tessuti waterproof, materiali con rinforzi in gomma e

cuscini imbottiti con cuscinetti di gommapiuma non devono essere asciugati nell’asciugatrice.

•Non usare ammorbidente o prodotti che eliminano l’elettricità statica a meno che non sia consigliato dal produttore dell’ammorbidente o del prodotto.

•Questo elettrodomestico deve essere messo a terra. La messa a terra fa diminuire il rischio dello shock elettrico aprendo un percorso a bassa resistenza per il flusso di elettricità in caso di malfunzionamento o guasto. Il cavo di alimentazione di questo prodotto è dotato di un conduttore e di una spina messa a terra che consente la messa a terra del prodotto.

La spina deve essere installata correttamente e inserita in una presa messa a terra secondo tutte le leggi e le ordinanze locali.

•L’elettrodomestico non deve essere installato dietro ad una porta che si può bloccare, una porta scorrevole o una porta con un gancio sul lato opposto a quello dell’asciugatrice.

•Non installare né lasciare questo prodotto in luoghi in cui sia esposto a condizioni esterne.

•Non giocare con i comandi.

•Non eseguire procedure di riparazione o sostituzione delle parti sul prodotto anche se lo si sa fare o si ha la capacità di farlo a meno che non sia chiaramente suggerito nelle istruzioni operative o nel manuale utente pubblicato.

•L’interno dell’elettrodomestico e il condotto di sfiato del prodotto devono essere periodicamente puliti da personale qualificato per l’assistenza.

•L’errata connessione del conduttore di messa a terra del prodotto può provocare shock elettrico. In caso di dubbi sulla connessione di messa a terra, farla controllare da un elettricista qualificato, da un rappresentante per l’assistenza o da personale per l’assistenza.

•Non sporgersi nell’elettrodomestico se il tamburo è in movimento.

•Scollegare la lavatrice dalla presa elettrica quando non è in uso.

•Non lavare mai l’elettrodomestico con acqua! C’è il rischio di shock elettrico! Prima

19 IT

di effettuare la pulizia, scollegare sempre l’alimentazione staccando la presa di corrente.

•Non toccare mai la spina con le mani bagnate.

Non scollegare mai tirando dal cavo, estrarre sempre tirando solo la spina. Non utilizzare la lavatrice se il cavo di alimentazione o la spina sono danneggiati!

•Non tentare mai di riparare l’elettrodomestico da soli, altrimenti si mette in pericolo la propria vita e quella degli altri.

•Per malfunzionamenti che non possono essere risolti utilizzando le informazioni date nelle istruzioni per la sicurezza:

Spegnere la lavatrice, scollegarla, chiudere il rubinetto dell’acqua e contattare il centro di assistenza clienti.

•Non arrestare l’asciugatrice prima della fine del ciclo di asciugatura a meno che non si rimuoverà tutto il bucato dall’asciugatrice in modo rapido per stenderlo e far evaporare il calore.

•Rimuovere lo sportello dello scomparto di asciugatura prima di eliminare o smaltire il prodotto.

•La fase finale del ciclo dell’asciugatrice (ciclo di raffreddamento) è senza calore per assicurare che gli articoli siano lasciati ad una temperatura che non li danneggia.

•Gli ammorbidenti o prodotti simili devono essere usati come specificato nelle istruzioni dei prodotti stessi.

•La biancheria intima che contiene rinforzi in metallo non deve essere posta nell’asciugatrice. Se i rinforzi in metallo si

allentano durante l’asciugatura potrebbero provocarsi danni all’asciugatrice.

•Controllare tutti i capi per eventuali accendini, monete, oggetti di metallo, aghi, ecc. prima di caricare.

•Quando l’asciugatrice non è in uso o quando il bucato viene estratto dopo il completamento del processo di asciugatura, spegnere usando il pulsante di accensione/spegnimento.

Quando il pulsante di accensione/spegnimento

è su accensione (quando l’asciugatrice è alimentata), tenere lo sportello dell’asciugatrice chiuso
