MPORTANTSAFETYINSTRUCTIONS
Read before operating your dryer.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock or injury to persons
when using the appliance, follow basic precautions, including the following:
Read all instructions before using the appliance.
To avoid the possibility of fire or explosion:
• Do not dry items that have been previously cleaned in, washed in,
soaked in, or spotted with petrol, dry-cleaning solvents, other
flammable or explosive substances as they give off vapours that
could ignite or explode. Any material on which you have used a
cleaning solvent, or which is saturated with flammable liquids or
solids, should not be placed in the dryer, until all traces of these
flammable liquids or solids and their fumes have been removed.
There are many highly flammable items used in homes, such as:
acetone, denatured alcohol, petrol, paraffin, some liquid household
cleaners, some spot removers, turpentine, waxes and wax removers.
• Items containing foam rubber (may be labeled latex foam) or similar
textured rubber-like materials must not be dried on a heat setting.Foam
rubber materials when heated,can under certain circumstances produce
fire by spontaneous combustion.
Do not allow children to play on or in the appliance. Close supervision
of children is necessary when the appliance is used near children. This
appliance is not intended for use by young children or infirm persons
without supervision. Young children should be supervised to ensure that
they do not play with the appliance.
Before the appliance is removed from service or discarded, remove the
door to the drying compartment.
Do not reach into the appliance if the drum is moving.
Do not install or store this appliance where it will be exposed to the
weather.
Do not tamper with controls.
Do not repair or replace any part of the appliance or attempt any
servicing unless specifically recommended in published user-repair
instructions that you understand and have the skills to carry out.
Do not use fabric softeners or products to eliminate static unless
recommended for dryer use by the manufacturer of the fabric softener or
product.
Clean the lint filter before or after each load.
Keep the area around the dryer free from lint accumulation,dust and dirt.
The interior of the dryer and exhaust duct should be cleaned periodically
by qualified service personnel.
This appliance must be properly earthed. See installation instructions for
earthing this appliance.
Do not sit or stand on top of the clothes dryer.
Do not continue to use this appliance if it appears faulty.
If the touchscreen clear membrane becomes damaged (for instance, by a
split or hole), do not continue to use the machine until it has been repaired.

HESEINSTRUCTIONS
WARNING: For your safety, the information in this manual must be followed to minimize the risk of
fire or explosion or to prevent property damage, personal injury or death.
– Do not store or use petrol or other flammable vapours and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other
appliance.
WARNING: Do not place into your dryer items that have been spotted or soaked with vegetable oil
or cooking oil. Even after being washed, these items may contain significant amounts of these oils. The
remaining oil can ignite spontaneously. The potential for spontaneous ignition increases when the items
containing vegetable oil or cooking oil are exposed to heat.Heat sources, such as your clothes dryer, can
warm these items, allowing an oxidation reaction in the oil to occur. Oxidation creates heat. If this heat
cannot escape, the items can become hot enough to catch fire. Piling, stacking or storing these kinds of
items may prevent heat from escaping and can create a fire hazard.
All washed and unwashed fabrics that contain vegetable oil or cooking oil can be dangerous.Washing
these items in hot water with extra detergent will reduce, but will not eliminate, the hazard.Always use
the “cool down” programme for these items to reduce the items’ temperature. Never remove these
items from the clothes dryer hot or interrupt the drying programme until the items have run through
the “cool down” cycle. Never pile or stack these items when they are hot.

LOADING THE DRYER
The maximum clothes load for the Maytag Neptune®dryer is 8 kg Cottons.
• When only one or two articles need drying, add a few similar items to improve tumbling and drying efficiency.
• When drying large, bulky items such as a blanket or duvet, it may be necessary to reposition the load during the cycle to ensure
even drying.
Load the dryer properly...
• By placing only one wash load in the dryer at a time.
• By avoiding very small loads or mixing heavyweight or lightweight clothes.
ADDING FABRIC SOFTENER
After loading the dryer, a fabric softener sheet may be added to control static cling.
Add a fabric softener sheet (if desired)…
• Before the load becomes warm. This helps prevent greasy-looking softener stains.
• And remove any used softener sheets from the dryer to prevent softener stains.
WARNING: Do not overload the dryer, as a reduction in efficiency or damage to the machine may result.
SET THE PROGRAMME
Sensor Dry is the fastest and most energy efficient drying method. There are two sensor bars monitoring the drying progress.
When it has dried to the desired setting, the dryer will cool down to minimize creases. Options for dryness levels include Least
Dry to Most Dry. Least Dry will leave the clothes feeling slightly damp for touch up ironing. Most Dry will completely dry items.
To use this programme, select “Sensor Dry” from the Home Screen. See the following section for more details on using Sensor
Dry.
SENSOR DRY
There are five choices for dryer programmes. Select the appropriate programme and follow the touchscreen prompts.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

The lint filter is a “slide-in” filter located at the front of the door opening. Remove lint from filter and replace.
WARNING: Do not operate the dryer without the lint filter in place.

The Freshen Up programme is used to help remove odours from items. Adding a fabric softener sheet assists in freshening. It
provides an initial 5 minutes of heated tumble followed by 10 minutes of unheated tumbling. To use this programme, select “Freshen
Up” from the Home Screen.
FRESHEN UP PROGRAMME
The Crease Removal programme will release creases from items that are clean and dry but slightly creased,such as from a crowded
closet, packed suitcase, or from sitting in the dryer too long after the end of the cycle. It provides 10 minutes of heated tumbling
and 5 minutes of cool down tumbling without heat. To use this programme, select “Crease Removal” from the Home Screen.
CREASE REMOVAL PROGRAMME
This programme allows you to specify an amount of dry time. All temperature settings are available. To use this programme, select

I
NSTRUCTIONS DESÉCURITÉIMPORTANTES
Lisez ce qui suit avant d’utiliser le sèche-linge.
AVERTISSEMENT : Pour minimiser les risques d’incendie, explosion,choc
électrique, dommages matériels ou dommages corporels lors de l’utilisation de
l’appareil, appliquez les précautions fondamentales, dont les suivantes.
Lisez la totalité des instructions avant d’utiliser l’appareil.
Pour éviter tout risque d’incendie ou d’explosion :
• Ne séchez pas des articles qui ont été précédemment nettoyés, lavés,
trempés ou imprégnés d'essence, de solvants de nettoyage à sec, ou
autres substances explosives ou inflammables. Ces produits libèrent
des vapeurs qui peuvent prendre feu ou exploser. Tout article sur
lequel vous avez utilisé un solvant de nettoyage à sec ou qui est saturé
de liquides ou de solides inflammables ne doit pas être placé dans le
sèche-linge tant que toutes les traces de ces liquides ou solides
inflammables et leurs vapeurs n’ont pas été enlevées. Ces produits
comprennent l’acétone, l’alcool dénaturé, l’essence, la paraffine,
certains produits de nettoyage liquides ménagers,certains détachants,
la térébenthine, les cires et produits pour enlever les cires.
• Ne faites jamais sécher avec chauffage des articles contenant du
caoutchouc mousse (parfois appelé mousse de latex) ou autres articles
à texture caoutchouteuse similaire. Dans certaines circonstances un
article à base de caoutchouc mousse peut s’enflammer spontanément
sous l’effet de la chaleur.
Ne laissez pas des enfants jouer avec ou sur l’appareil. Il convient de
superviser attentivement les enfants lorsque l’appareil est utilisé en leur
présence. Cet appareil n'est pas conçu pour être utilisé par de jeunes
enfants ou des personnes infirmes sans supervision. Il faut surveiller les
jeunes enfants pour s'assurer qu'ils ne jouent pas avec l'appareil.
Avant de retirer l’appareil du service ou de le mettre au rebut, démontez
la porte du compartiment de séchage.
N’introduisez pas une main dans l’appareil lorsque le tambour est en
mouvement.
N’installez ou ne rangez pas cet appareil en un endroit où il serait exposé
aux intempéries.
Ne circonvenez pas les organes de commande.
Ne réparez ou remplacez aucun composant de cet appareil; vous ne
devez entreprendre aucune opération d’entretien qui n’est pas
spécifiquement recommandée dans des instructions de réparation
publiées à l’intention des utilisateurs, ou que vous ne seriez pas en
mesure d’exécuter parfaitement.
N’utilisez pas un assouplissant de tissu ou produit similaire pour éliminer
les charges statiques, sauf si le fabricant du produit en recommande
l’emploi dans un sèche-linge.
Nettoyez le filtre à peluches avant ou après chaque utilisation.
Veillez à ce que la zone voisine du sèche-linge demeure exempte
d’accumulation de peluches, poussière et souillures.
Faites nettoyer périodiquement l’intérieur du sèche-linge et le conduit
d’évacuation par un technicien qualifié.
Il faut que cet appareil soit convenablement relié à la terre. Voyez les
instructions d’installation concernant la liaison à la terre de cet appareil.
On ne doit jamais s’asseoir ou se tenir debout sur le sèche-linge.
Ne continuez pas à utiliser cet appareil s'il paraît être défectueux.
Si la membrane translucide de l'écran tactile est endommagée (par
exemple, par une fissure ou un trou), ne continuez pas à utiliser la
machine tant qu'elle n'est pas réparée.

ONSERVER CESINSTRUCTIONS
AVERTISSEMENT : Pour votre sécurité,vous devez vous conformer aux instructions de ce guide pour
minimiser les risques d’incendie ou explosion et pour éviter dommages matériels, dommages corporels
ou accident mortel.
– Ne rangez et n’utilisez jamais de l’essence ou un autre produit liquide ou gazeux inflammable au
voisinage de cet appareil ou de tout autre appareil.
AVERTISSEMENT : Ne placez jamais dans le sèche-linge un article qui aurait été taché ou trempé avec
de l’huile végétale ou de l’huile de cuisson. Même après lavage, ces articles peuvent contenir une quantité
résiduelle significative de ces huiles. Le résidu d’huile peut s’enflammer spontanément. Le risque
d’inflammation spontanée augmente lorsque l’article est exposé à la chaleur. Une source de chaleur,
comme le séchage, peut provoquer une augmentation de la température de ces articles et déclencher une
réaction d’oxydation de l’huile. Par lui-même le processus d’oxydation est générateur de chaleur; si cette
chaleur ne peut s’échapper, l’article peut s’échauffer suffisamment pour pouvoir s’enflammer. Lorsque
vous rangez ou empilez ces articles, ceci peut empêcher l’évacuation de la chaleur et susciter un risque
d’incendie.
Tout textile lavé ou non lavé qui contient de l’huile végétale ou de l’huile de cuisson peut être dangereux.
Le lavage de ces articles à l’eau chaude avec une quantité additionnelle de détergent peut réduire le
risque, mais sans l’éliminer. Vous devez toujours utiliser le programme de refroidissement pour réduire
la température de ces articles; ne retirez jamais ces articles du sèche-linge alors qu’ils sont chauds, et
n’interrompez le séchage avant que le refroidissement programmé n’ait été exécuté.N’empilez jamais ces
articles lorsqu’ils sont chauds.
