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, ensure there are 10 mm between the upper panel 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.

or cold room.

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 suitable length of hose and connect as shown in picture

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. (MAIUSCOLO) ! 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 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

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 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).

Disconnecting the power supply

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

seriously hampered: drying times becomes longer and more energy is consumed. Moreover,

(see Picture).

Removing the filter:

1. Pull the filter’s plastic handle upwards (see

Do not use the dryer unless the filter has

Avoid using abrasives, steel wool or stainless steel cleaning

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.

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).

Warning: If the position of the programme selection knob changes after pressing the START/PAUSE button, the selected programme will NOT be modified. To modify the programme, press the START/PAUSE button to put the programme in pause mode (the indicator light flashes orange), then select a new programme and the relative options. Press the START/PAUSE button to start the new programme.

7. If necessary, set the time of the delayed start and any other options (see Programmes and options).

8. Press the START/PAUSE button to start the drying cycle.

Laundry can be checked while the drying programme runs and any garments already dry can be removed, while drying continues for the remaining items. After closing the door, press the START/PAUSE button to resume machine operation.

9. The final COOL TUMBLE phase (i.e. the fabrics are cooled) activates during the last few minutes of the drying programme; always allow this phase to terminate.

10. When the END indicator light turns on, the programme has ended. The buzzer will beep 3 times to let you know that your programme is complete. Open the door, remove the laundry then clean the filter and replace it. Empty the water container and put it back in its slot (see Care and maintenance).

If the clothes are not removed at the end of the cycle the automatic ANTI CREASE action will, on those programmes with this feature, continue to rotate the drum intermittently for up to 10 hours to minimise creasing. The phase is stopped when the door is opened or when the knob is set to OFF

11. Set the program knob to OFF to switch off the machine.

12. Disconnect the dryer from the power supply.

Automatic Anti Crease

This is an automatic function which provides an anti crease treatment both before and after the drying programme. By periodically rotating the drum before the start of the drying cycle, when a delayed start is selected, the formation of creases is prevented. On certain programmes the drum also rotates periodically at the end of the drying cycle on. The phase is stopped when the door is opened or when the knob is set to OFF

Programmes

Energy Saver

The Energy Saver Cycles reduce energy consumption and so they not only help the environment, they also cut your energy bill! Energy Saver Cycles are available for several different types of fabric and they have been designed to give excellent drying performance for small loads.

Energy Saver Cycles give the best drying results thanks to perfect temperature regulation and to accurate humidity detection which is optimized small loads.

Cottons Standard Cotton: Dries your items to a dryness level that allows you to put your clothes away straight from the dryer. Cotton Extra Dry: Dries your items to the maximum possible dryness level. Even drier than Standard Cotton dry.

Cotton Fast Iron: Dries your items to a dryness level that allows them to minimise ironing.

Synthetics

Recommended to delicately dry synthetic fabrics. This program can also used for delicates/acrylic fabrics (2kg) with LIGHT DRYING option on

Easy Mix

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

Wool

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.

Fitness

This programme is studied for safely drying garments such as tracksuits and Fitness suits bearing the symbol. Suitable for loads of

up to 4 kg. We suggest turning garments inside out before drying them.

Outwear Programme

This programme is specific for drying water-repellent fabrics and sports jackets (e.g. Gore-Tex, polyester, nylon). Drying the garment after a wash cycle has a beneficial effect as it reactivates the garment’s water-repellent treatment. It can be used for loads of up to 2 kg.

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.

My TiME (15’ - 35’ - 60’)

These programmes can be used if you want to set drying time and temperature.

The COOL TUMBLE cycle runs during the final minutes of the programme.

Damp to Dry 15’ timed programme is ideal to remove damp from tea towels and bath robe used once. Xpress 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 work week. Daily 60’: a timed programme, ideal for drying garments spun at high speed in the washing machine, for example a change of sheets.

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

Options

The options allow for customising the selected programme according to one’s own needs.

Delay timer

The start of some programmes (see Programmes and options) may be delayed up to 9 hours. Press the button repeatedly to enter the desired delay time. Before setting a delayed start, make sure that the water container is empty and that the filter is clean.The

drum will rotate occasionally before the drying programme starts to prevent the formation of creases.

Child Lock

Prevents the program settings from being changed. After having selected the program and the available options, hold down the two option buttons for 3 seconds (see “Dryer description”) A prolonged beep will sound when the buttons are pressed and the LEDs on the options buttons will flash slowly twice. The LEDs on the previously selected options will then remain lit but will no longer be modifiable. If you attempt to change the settings with Child Lock activated, 3 short beeps will sound and 3 rapid flashes will warn you that it is not possible to modify the program or the options underway. Hold down the options buttons for three seconds to deactivate the Child Lock option. Child Lock can be selected with all programs. The OFF position switches off the dryer.

Light Drying

Light Drying is a special option designed to gentle dry delicate clothes. Press this button to select the low temperature setting; the light next to the button will switch on. Activating this option will increase the duration of the cycles

! Not all options are available on all programmes (see Programmes and options).

Opening the door

If the door is opened (or the START/PAUSE button is pressed) while a programme is running, the dryer stops and the following may occur:

• The START/PAUSE button flashes orange.

• When a delayed start is running, the delay countdown continues. It is necessary to press the START/PAUSE button to resume the “Delay timer” programme. One of the “Delay timer” indicator light flashes to signal the delay time entered.

• It is necessary to press the START/PAUSE button to resume the programme. The progress indicator lights signal the running phase and the START/PAUSE indicator light stops flashing and turns green.

• When post care phase is active it means that drying programma is already ended. Pressing the START/PAUSE button reactivates a new programme from the beginning.

• By turning the Programme selection knob, a new programme is selected and the START/PAUSE indicator light flashes green. This procedure can be used to select the COOL TUMBLE programme to cool garments if they are judged to be dry enough. Press the START/PAUSE button to start the new programme.

Note: If you have a power cut, switch off the power or remove the plug. When power is restored, plug in the machine. Turn the

knob to the desired program to restart dryer operation (to start the program press START/PAUSE). The OFF position switches off the dryer.

Laundry

Sorting laundry

• 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 kg Synthetic fibres: maximum 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.

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. The weight refers to dry items.

Troubleshooting

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

Problem:

The dryer does not start.

The drying cycle does not start.

Drying times are too long.

Possible causes / Solutions:

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

• There has been a power cut.

• The fuse has burned out. 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).

• 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.

• The filter has not been cleaned (see Care and maintenance).

• The water container must be emptied? The “Empty water container” indicator light flashes (see Care and maintenance).

• The condenser needs to be cleaned (see Care and 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 air intake grille or the rear air vents are clogged up (see Installation, and Care

and maintenance).

• The items are too wet (see Laundry).

• The dryer is overloaded (see Laundry).

The “Empty water container” indicator light flashes.

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

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

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

• The water bottle was not emptied before starting the programme. Always empty it before starting a new drying programme (see Description of the tumble dryer) do not wait for the bottle full signal (buzzer beeps once every 5 seconds and the indicator light flashes) before emptying the water container.

! 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).

• 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 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.

Turn the knob to the desired program to restart dryer operation (to start the program press START/PAUSE). The OFF position switches off the dryer.

Installation

Où installer le sèche-linge

• Placez votre sèche-linge à une certaine distance des cuisinières, fourneaux, radiateurs, ou plaques de cuisson à gaz, car les flammes peuvent 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.

! Assurez-vous que le tuyau n’est pas écrasé ou plié une

fois le sèche-linge placé dans sa position définitive.

Raccordement électrique

Assurez-vous des points suivants avant de brancher la fiche de l’appareil dans la prise de mains:

• 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.

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.

! 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.

• 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 contenant de l’huile végétale ou de l’huile
