When positioning the appliance, ensure the supply cord is not
trapped or damaged.
Use a dedicated power socket. The power socket shall not be
shared with other electrical appliances.
Ensure the socket is suitably earthed. If in any doubt a suitable
socket must be installed by a qualified electrician.
When unplugging the appliance firmly grasp the plug and pull out
4

applications and is not designed for use within a commercial
environment.
The lint trap has to be cleaned frequently.
Lint must not to be allowed to accumulate around the tumble
dryer.
Do not dry unwashed items in the tumble dryer.
Items that have been soiled with substance such as cooking oil,
acetone, alcohol, petrol, kerosene, spot removers, turpentine,
waxes and wax removers should be washed in hot water with
extra detergent before being dried in the tumble dryer.
Items such as foam rubber (latex form), shower caps,
waterproof textiles, rubber backed articles and clothes or
pillows fitted with foam rubber pads should not be dried in the
tumble dryer.
Fabric softeners, or similar products, should be used as
specified by the fabric softener instructions.
Never stop a tumble dryer before the end of the drying cycle
unless all items are quickly removed and spread out so that the
heat is dissipated.
Diagrams within the manual are for illustrative purposes only,
due to continual product improvement the product may vary from
the illustrations. The exhaust air must not be discharged into a
flue which is used for exhausting fumes from appliance burning
gas or other fuels.
The appliance must not be install behind a lockable door, a
sliding door or a door with a hinge on the opposite side, to that of

dryer door is restricted.
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
5
hazard.
The appliance should not be overturned during normal use or
maintenance.

program.

and similar are fastened to prevent them catching during
operation.
