customer services on 0844 848 5861.
• Do not plug it in multiple socket or extension lead.
• After using the dryer, turn it o and unplug it. Keep the door closed to make sure
that children do not use it as a toy.

been given supervision or instruction concerning the use of the appliance in a safe
way and understand the hazards involved.
• This appliance can be used by 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.
• Cleaning and user maintenance shall not be made by children
• Keep the appliance and its cord out of reach of children.
• Children shall not play with the appliance.
• The appliance must be installed correctly and have proper ventilation.

To minimise the risk of re 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 re 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 re hazard. Oil-aected 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
re. Piling, stacking or storing oil-eected items can prevent heat from escaping
and so create a re 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 rst be washed with extra detergent - this will
reduce, but not eliminate the hazard. The cool tumble phase should be used to
reduce the temperature of the items. 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 ammable or
explosive substances. Highly ammable 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 re by spontaneous combustion.
• Fabric softener or similar products should not be used in a tumble dryer to
eliminate the eects of static electricity unless the practice is specically
recommended by the manufacturer of the fabric softener product.
• Do not tumble dry undergarments that contain metal reinforcements, e.g. 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 tted with foam rubber pads,
pillows, galoshes and rubber coated tennis shoes.
• Remove all objects from pockets, especially lighters.
• Complete each programme with the relative cool drying phase.
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.
