A CHILD COULD CLIMB INTO OR TAMPER WITH AN UNATTENDED TUMBLE DRYER. WHEN THE MACHINE IS NOT IN USE SWITCH OFF, REMOVE THE PLUG AND CLOSE THE DOOR.

For your safety

ALWAYS ● Empty the Water Container after EACH drying cycle. ALWAYS ● Finish every programme with the cool tumble cycle provided on

the control.

ALWAYS ● Clean the filter, it is essential that the filter is kept clear of fluff

after EACH drying cycle.

ALWAYS ● Ensure Condenser is free of fluff, regular cleaning is recommended. ALWAYS ● When the dryer is not in use, switch off, remove plug and close the

door.

ALWAYS ● Comply with the specified electrical requirements. ALWAYS ● Ensure that your dryer is installed correctly and has adequate

ventilation. (see, "Where to put your dryer.")

ALWAYS ● Observe the rules for drying garments:

In particular woollen articles should not be dried in a tumble dryer unless they are labelled ‘Superwash’,

‘Machine washable’ or have the ‘May be tumble dried’ symbol: If in any doubt do not dry wool in the machine. Unlike other materials, the mechanism of wool shrinkage is irreversible, i.e. it will not stretch back to the original size and shape.

ALWAYS ● Buy genuine accessories and spares.

CAUTION: When the dryer is in use avoid touching the rear of the dryer as it may be hot!
