door, a sliding door or a door with a hinge on the
opposite side to that of the dryer door.
WHERE TO PUT YOUR DRYER
e dyer should be placed where air can freely
circulate around it preferably near a window that can
be opened to reduce the possibility of condensation
occurring while the dryer is in use.
If the dryer is enclosed or tted under a work surface a
gap of at least 50 mm (2”) must be allowed above the top
for the full width of the dryer and at least 25 mm (1”)
either side. is allows air to enter into the rear air inlet.
e dryer must never be run in a cupboard with a closed
door.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
The socket must be grounded. The power supply cord
should be checked periodically and, if required, replaced by
a cord specially prepared for this dryer.

VENTILATION
When the dryer is in use there has to be adequate
ventilation to avoid the back ow of gases into the
room from appliances burning other fuels, including
open res.
e vent tube should not exceed 2.4 metres in length.
e tube should be kept clear of the air intake vent
and kinks or ‘U’ bends must be avoided as these will
obstruct the tube and trap condensation.

years and above and persons with reduced physical,
sensory or mental capabilities or lack of experience
and knowledge if they have been given supervision or
instruction concerning use of the appliance in a safe way
and understand the hazards involved.
• is tumble dryer has been designed for home, and
not professional, use.
• Do not touch the appliance while barefoot or with
wet hands or feet.

not play with the dryer.
• Cleaning and user maintenance shall not be made by
children without supervision.
• Children of less than 3 years should be kept away from
the appliance unless continuously supervised.
• e appliance must be installed correctly and have
proper ventilation. e air intake at the front of the dryer
should never be obstructed (see Installation).
• Never direct the vent tube outlet towards the air
intake at the back of the machine
• Never allow the tumble dryer to recycle exhaust air.
• Never use the dryer on carpeting where the pile
height would prevent air from entering the dryer
from the base.
• Check to see if the dryer is empty before loading it.

Service).
TO MINIMIZE THE RISK OF FIRE
IN YOUR TUMBLE DRYER, THE
FOLLOWING SHOULD BE OBSERVED
• Tumble dry items only if they have been washed
with detergent and water, rinsed and been through
the spin cycle. It is a re hazard to dry items that
HAVE NOT been washed with water.
• Do not dry garments that have been treated with
chemical products.
• Do not tumble dry items that have been spotted
or soaked with vegetable or cooking oils, this
constitutes a re hazard. Oil-aected items can
ignite spontaneously,especially when exposed to heat
sources such as a tumble dryer. e items become
warm, causing an oxidisation reaction with the oil,
Oxidisation creates heat. If the heat cannot escape,
items can become hot enough to catch re. Piling,
stacking or storing oil-eected items can prevent
heat from escaping and so create a re hazard.If it
is unavoidable that fabrics containing vegetable or
cooking oil or those that have been contaminated
with hair care products be placed in a tumble dryer
they should rst be washed with extra detergent
- this will reduce, but not eliminate the hazard.
e cool tumble phase should be used to reduce
the temperature of the items. ey should not be
removed from the dryer and piled or stacked while
hot.
• Do not tumble dry items that have previously
been cleaned in or washed in, soaked in or soiled
with petrol/gasoline, dry cleaning solvents or
other ammable or explosive substances. Highly
ammable substances commonly used in domestic
environments including cooking oil, acetone,
denatured alcohol, kerosene, spot removers,
turpentine, waxes and wax removers. Ensure these
items have been washed in hot water with an extra
amount of detergent before being dried in the
tumble dryer.
• Do not tumble dry items containing foam rubber
(also known as latex foam), or similarly textured
rubber like materials. Foam rubber materials
can, when heated, produce re by spontaneous
