Important safety information

This section includes safety information that will help protection from risks of personal injuries or materialistic damages. Failure to follow these instructions shall cause any warranty and reliability commitment to become void.

General safety

• Never place the machine on a carpet-

covered floor, otherwise, lack of airflow beneath the machine may cause electrical parts to overheat. This will cause problems with your machine.

• If the power cable or mains plug is

damaged, you must call Authorised Service Agent for repair.

• The product should not be plugged

in during installation, maintenance and repair works. Such works should always be made by the technical

service. Manufacturer shall not be held

responsible for damages arising from processes carried out by unauthorised persons.

• Connect the product to a grounded

outlet protected by a fuse of suitable capacity as stated in the technical specifications table.

• Operate your product at temperatures

between +5°C and +35°C.

• Do not use electrical devices in the

product.

• Do not connect the air exit of the

product to the chimney holes which

are used for the exhaust fumes of the

devices operating with gas or other types of fuel.

• 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.

• Always clean the lint filter before or after

each loading.

• Never operate your dryer without the

lint filter installed.

• Do not allow fibre, dust and dirt accumulation around the exhaust exit

and at adjacent areas.

• Power cable plug must be within easy

reach after installation.

• Do not use extension cords, multi-plugs

or adaptors to connect the dryer to power supply in order to decrease the risk of electric shock.

• Do not make any changes on the plug supplied with the product. If it is not

compatible with the socket, have a qualified electrician change the socket with a suitable one.

• Items cleaned or washed with gasoil/ fuel oil, dry-laundry solvents and other combustible or explosive materials as

well as the items that are contaminated or spotted with such materials should not be dried in the product since they

emit flammable or explosive vapor.

• Do not dry items cleaned with industrial

chemicals in the dryer.

• Do not dry unwashed items in the dryer.

• Items soiled with cooking oils,

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

• Garments or pillows bolstered with rubber foam (latex foam), shower bonnets, water resistant textiles,

materials with rubber reinforcement and rubber foam pads should not be dried in the dryer.

• Do not use fabric softeners and anti-static products unless they are

recommended by the manufacturers of the fabric softener or the product.

• 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.

• 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.

• This product must be grounded. Grounding installation decreases the

risk of electric shock by opening a path with low resistance for the electricity flow in case of a malfunction or failure.

Power cable of this product is equipped

with a conductor and a grounding plug that allows for grounding the product. This plug must be installed appropriately and inserted into a socket which is grounded in accordance with the local laws and regulations.

bend the hose.

• The end of the hose should not be bent,

it should not be stepped on and it must not be folded between the drain and the machine.
