INSTRUCTIONS
IMPORTANT TO BE READ AND OBSERVED
Before using the dryer carefully
read, Health and Safety and
Use and Care guides.

YOUR SAFETY AND SAFETY

IMPORTANT.
This manual and the dryer
itself provide important safety
warnings, to be read and
observed at all times.
This is the safety alert symbol.
This symbol alerts you to
potential hazards that can kill
or hurt you and others.
All safety messages will follow
the safety alert symbol or the
word DANGER or WARNING.
These words mean:
DANGER
Indicates a hazardous situation
which, if not avoided, will
cause serious injury.
WARNING
All safety warnings give
specic details of the potential
risk presented and indicate
how to reduce risk of injury,
damage and electric shock
resulting from improper use of
the dryer. Carefully observe the
following instructions.
Failure to observe these
instructions may lead to risks.
The Manufacturer declines any
liability for injury to persons or
animals or damage to property
if these advices and
precautions are not respected.
Very young (0-3 years) and
young children (3-8 years) shall
be kept away unless
continuously supervised.
Children from 8 years old and
above and persons with
reduced physical, sensory or
mental capabilities or lack of
experience and knowledge can
use this dryer only if they are
supervised or have been given
instructions on safe appliance
use and if they understand the
hazards involved. Children shall
not play with the dryer.
Cleaning and user
maintenance shall not be
made by children without
supervision.
removers, turpentine, waxes
and wax removers should be
washed in hot water with an
extra amount of detergent
before being dried in the
tumble dryer.
Items such as foam rubber
(latex foam), shower caps,
waterproof textiles, rubber
backed articles and clothes or
pillows tted with foam rubber
pads should not be dried in the
tumble dryer.
Remove all objects from
pockets such as lighters and
matches.
Do not use the tumble dryer if
chemicals have been used for
cleaning.
Oil-soaked items 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 item
can become hot enough to
catch re. Piling, stacking or
storing oil-soaked items can
prevent heat from escaping
and so create a re hazard.
WARNING
Indicates a hazardous situation
which, if not avoided, could
cause serious injury.
