Where to install the tumble dryer

• Install the dryer far from gas ranges, stoves, radiators or hobs, as

flames may damage it. If the dryer is installed below a worktop, en-

sure there are 10 mm between the upper pa-

nel of the dryer and any objects above it, and 15

mm between the sides of the machine and the walls or furniture units adjacent to it. This ensures adequate air circulation.

The appliance must be installed with the rear surface placed against a wall.

Ventilation

• The room must be adequately ventilated while the dryer is running. Make sure that the dryer is installed in a room free of humidity and with adequate air circulation. The flow of air around the dryer is essential to allow water to condense during drying; the dryer will not function properly if it is placed in an enclosed space or inside a cabinet.

!Some condensation may form if the dryer is used in a small or cold room.

!We do not recommend that the dryer is

installed in a cupboard but the dryer must never be installed behind a lockable door, a sliding door or a door with a hinge on the opposite side to that of the dryer door.

Water drain

If your dryer is installed next to a drain the water can be plumbed into this drain. This does away with the need to empty the water container. If the dryer is stacked onto or installed next to a washing machine it can share the same drain. The height of the drain must be less than 3’ (1 m) from the bottom of the dryer.

Remove existing hose from position shown in picture A and fit a suitable length of hose and connect as shown in picture B.

!The drain tube has to be below 1 m from the bottom of the Dryer

!Make sure that the hose is not squashed or kinked

when the dryer is in its final location.

Electrical connections

Before plugging the appliance into the socket, check the following:

•Make sure your hands are dry.

•The socket must have an earth connection.

•The socket must be able to withstand the machine’s maximum power output as indicated on the rating plate (see Description of the tumble dryer)

•The power supply voltage must fall within the values indicated on the data plate (see Description of the tumble dryer).

•The socket must be compatible with the dryer’s plug. Should this not be the case, replace the plug or the socket.

!DO NOT USE EXTENSION CORDS.

!The dryer must not be installed outdoors, even if the space is sheltered. It can be very dangerous if exposed to rain or storms.

!Once installed, the dryer’s electrical wire and plug must be within reach.

!The power cord must not be bent or squashed.

!If the plug being replaced is a non-rewirable type, then the cut-off plug must be disposed of safely. DO NOT leave it where it can be inserted into a socket and create a shock hazard.

!The power must be regularly checked. If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent or similarly qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard. (see Assistance). New or longer electric cords are supplied by authorised dealers at a supplementary cost.

!The manufacturer denies any responsibility should any of these rules not be followed.

!If in doubt about any of the above consult a qualified electrician.

Preliminary information

Once the tumble dryer is installed, clean the inside of the drum before operating it and remove any dirt accumulated during transportation.

Warnings

! This appliance has been designed and built EN according to international safety standards.

These warnings are given for safety reasons and must be followed carefully.

General safety

•This appliance can be used by children aged from 8 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.

•This tumble dryer has been designed for home, and not professional, use.

•Do not touch the appliance while barefoot or with wet hands or feet.

•Unplug the machine by pulling on the plug, not the cord.

•After using the dryer, turn it off and unplug it. Keep the door closed to make sure that children do not use it as a toy.

•Children should be supervised to ensure that they do 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.

•The appliance must be installed correctly and have proper ventilation. The air intake at the front of the dryer should never be obstructed (see Installation).

•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.

•The back of the dryer could become very hot.

Never touch it while in use.

•Do not use the dryer unless the filter, watercontainer and condenser are securely in place (see Maintenance).

•Do not overload the dryer (see Laundry for maximum loads).

•Do not load items that are dripping wet.

•Carefully check all instructions on clothing labels (see Laundry).

•Do not tumble dry large, very bulky items.

•Do not tumble dry acrylic fibres at high

temperatures.

•Do not turn off the dryer when there are still warm items inside.

•Clean the filter after each use (see Maintenance).

•Empty the water container after each use (see Maintenance).

●• Clean the condenser unit at regular intervals (see

Maintenance).

●• Do not allow lint to collect around the dryer.

•Never climb on top of the dryer. It could result in damage.

•Always follow electrical standards and requirements (see Installation).

•Always buy original spare parts and accessories (see Service).

To minimise 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 fire 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 fire hazard. Oil-affected items can ignite

spontaneously,especially when exposed to heat sources such as a tumble dryer. The 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 fire. Piling, stacking or storing oil-effected items can prevent heat from escaping and so create a fire 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 first be washed with extra detergent - this will reduce, but not eliminate the hazard. They 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 flammable or explosive substances. Highly flammable

4

substances commonly used in domestic

environments including cooking oil, EN 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 fire by spontaneous combustion.

●• Fabric softener or similar products should not be used in a tumble dryer to eliminate the effects of static electricity unless the practice is specifically recommended by the manufacturer of the fabric softener product.

•Do not tumble dry undergarments that contain metal reinforcements eg. bras with metal reinforcing wires. Damage to the tumble dryer can result if the metal reinforcements come loose during drying.

●• Do not tumble dry rubber, plastic articles such as shower caps or babies waterproof covers, polythene or paper.

•Do not tumble dry rubber backed articles, clothes fitted with foam rubber pads, pillows, galoshes and rubber coated tennis shoes.

•Remove all objects from pockets such as lighters and matches.

! WARNING: Never stop the dryer before the end of the drying cycle unless all items are quickly removed and spread out so that the heat is dissipated.

Save energy and respect the environment

•Wring out all items to eliminate excess water before tumble drying (if you use a washing machine first, select a high spin cycle). Doing this will save time and energy during drying.

•Always dry full loads - you save energy: single items or small loads take longer to dry.

•Clean the filter after each use to contain energy consumption costs (see Maintenance).

Care and maintenance

	EN	Disconnecting the power supply
		! Disconnect the dryer when not in use or
		during cleaning and maintenance operations.
		Cleaning the filter after each
		cycle
		The filter is a fundamental component of the
		dryer: its function is to collect lint and fluff that
		form during drying.
		Clean the filter once
		drying is completed, by
		rinsing it under
		running water or cleaning
		it with a vacuum cleaner.
		Should the filter become
		clogged, the flow of air
		inside the dryer will be
		seriously hampered: drying times becomes
		loger and more energy is consumed. Moreover,
		the dryer may become
		damaged.
		The filter is located in
		front of the dryer seal
		(see Picture).
		Removing the filter:
		1. Pull the filter’s plastic
		handle upwards (see
		Picture).
		2. Clean the fluff off the filter and replace it
		correctly. Ensure that the filter is pushed fully
		home.
		! Do not use the dryer unless the filter has
		been replaced in its holder.
		Checking the drum after each cycle
		Rotate the drum manually to remove smaller items (handker-
		chiefs) that could have been left inside the dryer.
		Cleaning the drum
		! Avoid using abrasives, steel wool or stainless steel cleaning
		agents to clean the drum. A coloured film may appear on the
		stainless steel drum surface: it may be caused by a combina-
		tion of water and/or cleaning agents such as wash-softeners.
		This coloured film does not affect the dryer’s performance.

Emptying the water container after each cycle

Remove the water container and empty it into a sink or other

suitable drain outlet, then

replace it correctly.

Always check the water container and empty it before starting

a new drying cycle.

-Failure to empty the water container may cause the following:

-The dryer stops heating (thus the load may still be damp at the end of the drying cycle).

-The “Empty water container” LED activates to

show that the water container is full.

Priming the Water Collection System

When your dryer is new, the Water Container will not collect Water until the system is primed, this will take 1 or 2 drying cycles. Once primed it will

collect Water during every cycle.

Cleaning the condenser unit.

• Remove the condenser (see Picture below) unit regularly (monthly) and clean off any fluff deposits from the plates by rinsing it with cold water running on the rear end of the condenser.

Removing the condenser:

1.Disconnect the dryer from the power

supply and open the door.

2.Open the

condenser cover (see Picture below), unlock the three catches by turning them 90° anti-clockwise, then pull on the grip to remove the condenser.

3. Clean the surface of the seals and replace the unit with the arrows pointing upwards, while making sure that the catches are securely fixed.

6

Cleaning the tumble dryer

•The external metal, plastic and rubber parts can be cleaned with a damp cloth.

•Clean the front air intake grille regularly (every 6 months) with a vacuum cleaner to remove any lint, fluff or dust deposits. Furthermore, remove any lint deposits from the front part of the condenser and from the filter area, using a vacuum cleaner every so often.

!Do not use solvents or abrasives.

!Have the dryer checked regularly by authorised technical personnel in order to ensure that the electrical and mechanical parts work safely (see Assistance).

Quick Tips

!Remember to clean your filter and EN Condenser unit after each load.

NOTES: 1 with this option the maximum load size is modifi ed. Refer to the option description. 2 Standard Cotton is the most effi cient program
in terms of energy consumption (EU 392/2012). 3 The duration of these programs will depend on the size of the load, types of textiles,				the spin
speed used in your washer and any extra options selected.

Special/Sport/Partial Programmes

Fast 35’

This is a quick timed programme, ideal for drying garments spun at high speed in the washing machine, for example shirts used in a working week.

Easy Mix

This programme is ideal for drying cotton and synthetic fabrics together.

Less Creased

A cycle for synthetic and mixed textiles making lengthy ironing unnecessary.

Shake the pieces of clothing before introducing them into the dryer. Remove the pieces of clothing immediately at the end of the programme and hang them

Standard Cotton: Dries your items to a dryness level that allows you to put your clothes away straight from the dryer.

Cotton Ready to Wear: Dries your items to the maximum possible dryness level. Even drier than Standard Cotton.

Jeans

●This is a programme for jeans made from denim cotton. Before drying your jeans turn the front pockets inside out. ●Do not mix dark and light coloured items.

It can also be used on other garments made from the same material, such as jackets.

Loads dried using this programme are usually ready to wear, the edges or seams may be slightly damp. If this is the case, try turning the jeans inside out and running the programme again for a short period.

! We do not recommend that you use this programme if your jeans have elastic waist bands, studs or embroidery.

11

Baby&Delicates

EN A programme appropriately designed to dry clothing and linen of new-born babies (cotton and chenille) and delicate clothes. Do not dry articles which have plastic covering.

Wool Programme

This programme is specific for items that withstand tumble drying and are labelled with the symbol. It is suitable for loads of up to 1 kg (about 3 jerseys). We recommend turning the garments inside out before drying them. Garments dried with this programme are usually ready to be worn, although the edges of heavier garments may be slightly damp. Leave them to dry naturally, as an additional drying process may damage them.

Unlike other materials, the shrinking process in wool is irreversible, i.e. the garment does not resume its original dimension and shape. This programme is not suited for acrylic items.

Duvet

A cycle intended to dry down jackets, giving their natural softness back (2 jackets).

Gym Kit

A cycle designed to dry complete gym kits for all the family (shorts, top, t-shirts and towels).

Special Shoes Programme

This programme is specific for drying sports shoes. The shoes must have been previously washed and spun at a minimum spin speed of 400 revolutions.

A specific shoe rack is provided and must be used, otherwise the dryer will be damaged if shoes are dried in the drum. Remove the filter from its holder on the front part of the dryer and position the shoe rack.

Place shoelaces inside the shoes then load with the tips of the shoes facing downwards and the soles frontwards.

Drying times vary according to the shape and type of the shoe. If the shoes are not completely dry at the end of the programme, restart the programme.

! Do not dry shoes that have gel or flashing lights inside them. Only dry shoes made of synthetic material or rope. Once the programme ends, remove the shoe rack and replace the filter into its holder.

Crease Relax

A short 10-minute programme that relaxes the garment’s fibres in order to facilitate ironing and folding. This programme is particularly recommended for cotton or mixed cotton fabrics.

For optimal results, do not overload the drum (the following values refer to the weight of dry garments): Fabric: maximum load

Cotton and mixed cotton: 2.5 kg Synthetic garments: 2 kg Jeans: 2 kg

Empty the dryer as soon as the programme ends; hang, fold or iron garments then place them in the wardrobe. If this is not possible, repeat the programme.

As this is not a drying programme, it is not to be used for garments that are still wet.

The effect produced by the programme varies according to the characteristics of the each fabric: fabrics such as acrylic fibres or Tencel® do not give the same results as traditional fibres (e.g. cotton).

Freshen Up

A short programme suitable for refreshing fibres and garments. It lasts about 20 minutes. ! As this is not a drying programme, it is not to be used for garments that are still wet.

● It can be used on any load size but is more effective on smaller loads.

Laundry

		Sorting laundry
	EN
		• Check the symbols on the care labels of the various gar-
		ments to verify whether the garments can be safely tumble
		dried.
		• Sort laundry according to the type of fabric.
		• Empty all pockets and check for loose buttons.
		• Close zips and hooks and fasten belts and strings without
		tightening them.
		• Wring out garments to remove the maximum amount of
		water possible.
		! Do not load the dryer when garments are dripping wet.
		Maximum load sizes
		Do not overload the drum.
		The following values indicate the weight of dry garments:
		Natural fibres: maximum 8 kg
		Synthetic fibres: maximum 4 kg
		! Do not overload the dryer as this may result is reduced
		drying performance.
		Care labels
		Always check the care labels, especially when placing
		garments in the tumble dryer for the first time. Below are the
		most commonly used symbols:
		May be tumble dried.
		Do not tumble dry.
		Tumble dry – high heat.
		Tumble dry – low heat.
		Automatic drying times

Drying times

Drying times are approximate and may vary depending on the following:

•Amount of water retained by items after the spin cycle: towels and delicate items retain a lot of water.

•Fabrics: items of the same fabric, but with different texture and thickness may have different drying times.

•Amount of laundry: single items and small loads may take longer to dry.

•Drying: if items are to be ironed, they can be removed from the dryer while still slightly damp. Items that require complete drying can be left longer.

•Heat setting.

•Temperature of the room: the lower the temperature of the room, the longer it will take for the dryer to dry clothing.

•Bulk: certain bulky items require special care during the drying process. We suggest removing these items and replacing them in the dryer once they have been shaken out: repeat this procedure several times during the course of the drying cycle.

! Do not over-dry items.

All fabrics contain natural dampness which helps to keep them soft and fluffy.

The drying times provided refer to the automatic Cupboard dry programmes.

The Timed drying settings are also indicated to enable you to select the most suitable timed option.

Troubleshooting

If you feel that the dryer is not working properly, consult the following troubleshooting suggestions before contacting the Technical
Assistance Centre (see Assistance).	EN

The dryer does not start.

•The plug has not been inserted far enough into the socket to make contact.

•There has been a power cut.

•The fuse has blown. Try connecting another appliance to the same socket.

•If an extension cord is used, try connecting the dryer plug directly into the socket.

•The door has not been closed properly.

•The programme has not been set correctly (see How to carry out a drying cycle).

•The START/PAUSE button has not been pressed (see How to carry out a drying cycle).

•On machines equipped with “Locked” function, check the option is not enabled (see Programmes and options).

The drying cycle does not start.

•A delayed start time has been set (see Programmes and options).

•The START/PAUSE button has been pressed; a short delay follows before the dryer starts running. Wait for the drying cycle to start; do not press the START/PAUSE button otherwise the dryer switches to the pause mode and the drying cycle will not start.

Drying times are too long.

•The filter has not been cleaned (see Maintenance).

•The water container must be emptied? The “Empty water container” indicator light flashes and the message appears “h2o”

(see Maintenance).

•The condenser needs to be cleaned (see Maintenance).

•The heat setting is not suited to the type of fabric to be dried (see Programmes and options).

•An incorrect drying time was selected for the type of load (see Laundry).

•The items are too wet (see Laundry).

•The air intake grille are clogged up (see “Installation” and “Care and Maintenance”).

•The dryer is overloaded (see Laundry).

The “Empty water container” indicator light flashes, but the dryer has been running for a short time.

•The water container was probably not emptied before starting the programme. Do not wait for the signal for emptying the water container, but always check and empty it before starting a new drying programme (see Description of the tumble dryer).

The “Empty water container” indicator light is on but the water container is not full.

•It is normal: the “Empty water container” indicator light flashes when the water container is full. If the indicator light is on but is not flashing, it is just a reminder to empty the container (see Description of the tumble dryer).

The programme is finished but the items are damper than expected.

!For safety reasons, the dryer programmes last a maximum of 5 hours. If an automatic programme has not detected the final dampness level required in this interval, the dryer completes the programme and stops. Check the above points and repeat the programme; if the items are still damp, contact the Technical Assistance Centre (see Assistance).

The code “F” appears on the display followed by one or two numbers, the options indicator lights and the pause indicator light flash.

•If the display shows a fault, switch the appliance off and unplug it, then clean the filter and the Heat Pump Filter unit (see Maintenance). Reinsert the plug, switch the appliance on and start another programme. If the display still visualises a fault, contact the Technical Assistance Centre (see Assistance). If the display still visualises other numbers, mark the code and contact the Technical Assistance Centre (see Assistance).

“dOn” briefly appears on the display every 6 seconds.

•The appliance is in “Demo” mode. Press the ON/OFF and START/PAUSE buttons and keep them pressed for 3 seconds. The display visualises “dOn” for 3 seconds, then the dryer starts functioning normally.

The “Remaining time” indicator changes during the drying cycle.

•The remaining time is constantly monitored during the drying cycle and is updated to show the best forecast. It is normal for the displayed time to increase during the cycle.

The dryer is noisy during the first few minutes of operation.

•This is normal, especially if the dryer has not been used for a long time. If the noise persists during the entire cycle, contact the Technical Assistance Centre.

The lights on the dryer control panel are off although the dryer is switched on.

•The dryer has gone into standby mode to save power. This occurs if you have left the dryer on or have had a power cut. It occurs after 30 minutes:

-if you leave the dryer without starting a programme;

-after your drying programme has finished.

Press the On/Off button and the lights will come on again.

Installation

FR	Où installer le sèche-linge
	• Placez votre
	sèche-linge à une	mm
	certaine distance des
	cuisinières, fourneaux,	10
	radiateurs, ou plaques
	de cuisson à gaz, car
	les flammes peuvent	15 mm 15 mm
	endommager cet
	appareil.
	Si vous installez cet

appareil sous un plan de travail, faites en sorte de laisser un espace de 10 mm entre le dessus de l’appareil et tout autre objet sur ou au-dessus de celui-ci, et un espace de 15 mm entre ses côtés et les éléments d’ameublement ou les murs latéraux. Ceci a pour objectif d’assurer une ventilation convenable.

La surface arrière de l’appareil doit être placée contre un mur.

Ventilation

• Lorsque le sèche-linge est en marche, une aération adéquate est nécessaire. Faites en sorte d’installer votre sèche-linge dans un environnement qui n’est pas humide et qui est doté d’une bonne circulation d’air dans toute la pièce. La circulation d’air autour du sèche linge est essentielle pour condenser l’eau produite au cours du lavage ; le sèche linge ne fonctionnera pas efficacement dans un espace clos ou dans un placard.

!Si l’on utilise le sèche linge dans une pièce froide ou petite, on rencontrera un certain degré de condensation.

!Nous vous déconseillons d’installer votre

sèche-linge dans un placard ; par ailleurs, le sèche-linge ne doit en aucun cas être placé derrière une porte fermant à clé, une porte coulissante ou une porte montée sur des gonds du côté opposé à la porte de chargement du sèche-linge.

Vidange de l’eau

Si votre sèche-linge est installé à proximité d’une évacuation, l’eau peut être vidangée directement dans ce tuyau. Cela évite d’utiliser et de vider le réservoir d’eau.

Si vous installez le sèche-linge au-dessus ou à côté d’un lave-linge, il pourra partager la même vidange. Il suffit de débrancher le tuyau indiqué par la figure A et de le brancher à la vidange.

Si la vidange est plus loin que la longueur du tuyau, il possible d’acheter et de brancher un tuyau ayant le même diamètre et la longueur nécessaire.

Pour installer le nouveau il suffit de remplacer le tuyau existant comme illustré par la figure B dans la même position.

! La hauteur de la vidange doit être inférieure à 1 m en partant du bas du sèche-linge.

! Assurez-vous que le tuyau n’est pas écrasé ou plié une fois le sèche-linge placé dans sa position définitive.

•Assurez-vous d’avoir les mains sèches.

•La prise de courant doit être reliée à la terre.

•La prise de courant doit pouvoir supporter la puissance maximale de la machine, qui est indiquée sur la plaque signalétique de l’appareil (voir Description du sèche-linge).

•La tension électrique doit appartenir à la gamme de valeurs indiquée sur la plaque signalétique de l’appareil (voir Description du sèche-linge).

•La prise de courant doit être compatible avec la fiche du sèche-linge. Autrement, remplacez la prise ou la fiche.

!N’UTILISEZ PAS DE RALLONGES.

!Le sèche-linge ne doit pas être utilisé à l’extérieur, même si l’espace en question est abrité. Cela peut être dangereux si l’appareil est exposé à la pluie ou à des orages.

!Une fois le sèche-linge installé, le cordon d’alimentation et la fiche doivent être d’accès facile.

!Le cordon d’alimentation ne doit pas être courbé ou écrasé.

!Si la fiche à remplacer est de type incorporée, il faut l’éliminer conformément aux consignes de sécurité. Ne la laissez jamais dans un endroit où elle peut être branchée à une prise et provoquer ainsi un choc électrique.

18

!Le câble électrique doit être contrôlé périodiquement. Si le câble est endommagé, il faut le faire remplacer par le fabricant, par son service après-vente ou par tout autre personnel qualifié afin d’éviter tout risque

de danger. (voir Service après-vente). Des cordons d’alimentation neufs ou plus longs sont fournis par les revendeurs agréés contre un supplément..

!Le fabricant rejette toute responsabilité en cas de non-respect de toutes ou partie de ces règles.

!En cas de doute au sujet des points précédents, consultez un électricien qualifié.

•Les enfants de moins de 3 ans doivent être tenus à bonne distance du sèche-linge s’ils ne sont pas sous surveillance constante.

•Cet appareil doit être installé correctement et avoir une ventilation convenable. L’arrivée d’air sur le devant du sèche-linge et l’évent derrière le sèche-linge ne doivent jamais être obstrués (voir Installation).

•N’utilisez jamais le sèche-linge sur de la moquette où la hauteur des poils

empêcherait l’air d’entrer dans la sèchelinge à partir de la base.

•Vérifiez que le sèche-linge est bien vide avant de le charger.

•L’arrière du sèche-linge peut devenir

très chaud.

Ne le touchez jamais en cours d’utilisation.

•N’utilisez pas le sèche-linge si le filtre, le réservoir d’eau et le condenseur ne sont pas bien en place (voir Entretien).

•Ne surchargez pas le sèche-linge (voir Linge pour les charges maximales).

•Ne chargez pas d’articles qui dégouttent d’eau.

•Vérifiez avec soin toutes les instructions sur les étiquettes des vêtements (voir Linge).

•Ne séchez pas d’articles de grande taille, très volumineux.

•Ne séchez pas de fibres acryliques à hautes températures.

•N’éteignez pas le sèche-linge s’il contient encore des articles chauds.

•Nettoyez le filtre après chaque utilisation (voir Entretien).

•Videz le réservoir d’eau après chaque utilisation (voir Entretien).

•Nettoyez le groupe condenseur à intervalles réguliers(voir Entretien).

•Ne laissez pas s’accumuler de peluches autour du sèche-linge.

•Ne montez jamais sur le sèche-linge. Cela pourrait l’endommager.

•Respectez toujours les normes et exigences électriques (voir Installation).

•Achetez toujours des pièces de rechange et accessoires d’origine (voir Service Après-vente).

Vous devez observer les consignes suivantes pour réduire tout risque d’incendie dans votre sèche-linge :

•Ne séchez que des articles qui ont été lavés avec de l’eau et un détergent, rincés et essorés. Le fait de sécher des articles qui N’ONT PAS été lavés avec de l’eau constitue un danger d’incendie.

•Ne séchez pas des vêtements qui ont été traités avec des produits chimiques.

•Ne placez pas d’articles tachés ou imbibés d’huile végétale or de cuisson, ils risqueraient de provoquer un incendie. Les articles contenant de l’huile

peuvent prendre feu spontanément, particulièrement lorsqu’ils sont exposés à des sources de chaleur comme un sèchelinge. En chauffant, les articles provoquent une réaction d’oxydation avec l’huile générant alors de la chaleur. Si la chaleur ainsi générée ne peut pas être évacuée, les articles peuvent devenir suffisamment chauds pour prendre feu. Le fait d’empiler, de superposer ou de stocker des articles contenant de l’huile peut empêcher la chaleur d’être évacuée et donc provoquer un incendie. Si vous ne pouvez pas faire autrement que de placer des articles
