2 Important safety instructions

This section contains safety instructions that will help protect from risk of personal injury or property damage. Failure to follow these instructions shall void any warranty.

General safety

• Never place the product on a carpet-

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

• Do not operate the product if the

power cable / plug is damaged. Call

the Authorised Service Agent.

• 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.

• Never touch the plug with wet hands!

Never unplug by pulling on the cable, always pull out by gripping the plug.

• Connect the product to a grounded

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

• Power cable of this product is

equipped with a conductor and a grounding plug that allows for grounding the product. This plug must be inserted into a socket which is installed and grounded in accordance with the local laws and regulations. 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. Do not neglect to have the grounding installation made by a qualified electrician. If you have any suspect about the grounding installation, have it

checked by a qualified electrician. Our company shall not be liable for any damages that will arise when the product is used without grounding in accordance with the local regulations.

• The product should not be plugged

in during installation, maintenance, cleaning and repair works.

• Always have the repair procedures carried out by the Authorised Service Agent. Manufacturer shall not be

held liable for damages that may arise from procedures carried out by unauthorised persons.

• Do not use electrical devices in the

product.

• 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.

• 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.

• Pay attention that the air inlet

openings are unobstructed

• Do not dry the laundry cleaned with

industrial chemicals in the dryer.

• Underwear that contains metal

reinforcements should not be dried in the dryer. Dryer can get damaged if metal reinforcements come loose and break off during drying.

• Never attempt to repair the product

yourself. Do not perform any repair or replacement procedures on the product even if you know

or have the ability to perform the required procedure unless it is clearly suggested in the operating instructions or the published service manual. Otherwise, you will be putting your life and others' lives in danger.

• For failures that you cannot remedy

by applying the procedures in safety instructions, turn off and unplug

the product and call the Authorised Service Agent.

• Do not reach into the machine when

the drum is spinning.

• Do not use extension cords, multi-

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

• Never wash the product by spreading or pouring water onto it! There is the risk of electric shock!

The final step of the drying

programme, namely the cool-down step is performed without applying heat to ensure that the laundry items are kept at a temperature that will not damage them. If you open the loading door before the cool-down step completes, hot vapour will come out.

Never stop the dryer before the

programme completes. If you must do this, remove all laundry quickly and lay them out to a suitable place to dissipate the heat.

• Always clean the lint filter before or

after each loading. Never operate the dryer without the lint filter installed.

• Clean ventilation grid of the product

regularly. Do not allow fibre, dust and dirt accumulation around the ventilation grid and at adjacent areas.

• Power cable plug must be within easy

reach after installation.

• Do not dry unwashed items in the

dryer.

• Items soiled with cooking oils,

acetone, alcohol, fuel oil, kerosene, stain removers, 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), bathing caps, 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 relevant product.

• Use softeners, anti-static products

and etc. in accordance with the instructions of their manufacturers.

• Do not install the product behind a

door with a lock, sliding door or a hinged door which can strike the product.
