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-

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

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

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!
