1.1.2 Product safety
Points to be taken into consideration for fire hazard:
Below specified laundry or items must not be dried
in the dryer considering fire hazard.
• Unwashed laundry items
• Items soiled with oil, acetone, alcohol, fuel oil, kerosene, stain
removers, turpentine, paraffin or paraffin removers must be
washed in hot water with plenty of detergent before being dried
in the dryer.
For this reason especially the items containing the above specified
stains must be washed very well, to do this
use adequate detergent and choose a high washing
temperature.
Below specified laundry or items must not be dried in the
dryer due to the fire hazard:
• Garments or pillows bolstered with rubber foam (latex foam),
shower bonnets, water resistant textiles, materials with rubber
reinforcement and rubber foam pads.
• Clothing cleaned with industrial chemicals.
Items such as lighter, match, coins, metal parts, needle etc.
may damage the drum set or may lead to functional problems.
Therefore check all the laundry that you will load into your dryer.
Never stop your dryer before the programme completes. If you
must do this, remove all laundry quickly and lay them out to
dissipate the heat.
Clothes that are washed inadequately may ignite on their own and
even may ignite after drying ends.
• You must provide enough ventilation in order to prevent gases exiting
from devices operating with other types of fuels including the naked flame
from accumulating in the room due to the back fire effect.

8 Electrical Connection
Make sure that you have an earthed power outlet socket
rated at 13 amps (minimum).
Attention!
If you use your dryer as built-in, the socket must be
reachable after installation, or a separate switch (which
can disconnect the two poles) must be used in the
installation. Check for suitability.
For a permanent connection, a master switch with at
least 3mm contact clearance and minumum 13 A rating
must be used.
Electrical requirements
Before you insert the plug into the wall socket make
sure that the voltage and the frequency shown in the
rating label corresponds to your electricity supply.
We recommend that this appliance be connected to the
mains supply via a suitable switched and fused socket
in a readily accessible position.
Should the mains lead of the appliance become
damaged or need replacing at any time, it must be
replaced by a special purpose made mains lead which
can only be obtained from a Authorised Service Agent.
A
Important
Fitting a different plug
As the colours of the wires in the mains lead of this
appliance may not correspond with the coloured
markings identifying the terminals on your plug, proceed
as follows:
1 Connect the green - yellow or green (earth) wire to the
terminal in the plug marked ‘E’ or with the symbol or
coloured green and yellow or green.
2 Connect the blue (neutral) wire to the terminal in the
plug marked ‘N’ or coloured black.
3 Connect the brown (live) wire to the terminal in the
plug marked ‘L’ or coloured red.
With the alternative plugs a 13A fuse must be fitted
either in the plug or adaptor or in the main fuse box. If in
doubt contact a qualified electrician.

Warning
This appliance must be earthed
If the fitted moulded plug is not suitable for your socket,
then the plug should be cut off and an appropriate plug
fitted.
The moulded plug on this appliance incorporates a 13A
fuse. Should the fuse need to be replaced an ASTA
approved BS1362 fuse of the same rating must be
used. Do not forget to refit the fuse cover. In the event
of losing the fuse cover, the plug must not be used until
a replacement fuse cover has been fitted. Colour of the
replacement fuse cover must be the same colour as
that visible on the pin face of the plug. Fuse covers are
available from any good electrical store.
In order to avoid hazards, damaged supply cord should
be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent or
similarly qualified people.
