1 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 qualified electrician 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 any 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.

• Do not install the product behind a door

with a lock, sliding door or a door that has a hinge against the hinge of the dryer.

places where it will be exposed to outdoor

conditions.

procedures on the product even if you know or have the ability to perform unless it is clearly suggested in the operating instructions or the published service manual.

• Inside and exhaust duct of the product

must be cleaned by the qualified service personnel periodically.

• Wrong connection of grounding conductor of the product can cause electric shock. If

you have any suspect about the grounding connection, have it checked by a qualified electrician, service representative or service personnel.

• Do not reach into the machine when the

drum is spinning.

• Unplug the machine when it is not in use.

• Never wash down the appliance with water! There is the risk of electric shock! Always

disconnect by unplugging from the mains before cleaning.

plug is damaged!

following the information given in the safety

instructions:

Turn off the machine, disconnect the power

cord and contact an Beko Service.

cycle comes to an end unless you will remove all laundry from the dryer immediately in order to lay them and dissipate the heat.

compartment before decommissioning or disposing of the product.

Ventilation hose and connection (for products equipped with an outlet vent)

Ventilation hose allows exhaust air from inside the machine

Vented dryer has 1 air outlet.

Stainless sheet metal or aluminum pipes can be used instead of a hose. The pipe diameter

should be minimum 10 cm. Maximum hose and pipe lengths are given in

the table below.

Hose Pipe

Maximum length 4 m 5 m

1 elbow 45° -1.0 m -0.3 m

1 elbow 90° -1.8 m -0.6 m

1 elbow 90° short -2.7 m

1 wall passage -2.0 m -2.0 m

CEach elbow and other passages should be

subtracted from the maximum length stated above.

To connect a ventilation hose;

1. Connect the air outlet hose to the hose

spacer piece by turning it counterclockwise.

2. Make the hose passages as shown below.

CExhaust of humid air from the dryer into the

room is inconvenient. It may damage the

walls and furniture in the room.

CThe ventilation hose can be routed

outdoors via a window or it can be connected to the air outlet in the bathroom.

CAir outlet hose must be routed directly

to the outdoors. There must be a limited number of elbows as not to hinder ventilation.

CTo prevent water accumulation in the hose,
