SECURITE DU SECHE-LINGE

IMPORTANTES INSTRUCTIONS DE SECURITE

AVERTISSEMENT : AŠn de réduire le risque d’incendie, de choc électrique ou de blessures corporelles lors de l’utilisation du sèche-linge, il convient d’observer certaines précautions fondamentales, notamment :

Lire toutes les instructions avant d’utiliser le sèche-linge.

Laisser un dégagement minimal de 100 mm (4") entre l’arrière du sèche-linge et les éventuelles parois environnantes.

Le fonctionnement de cet appareil peut affecter celui d’autres appareils dont la source d’approvisionnement en air se fait dans la même pièce pour une combustion sans danger. Lorsqu’on utilise le sèche-linge, une aération adéquate est nécessaire pour renouveler l’air rejeté et ainsi éviter le retour dans la pièce de gaz en provenance d’appareils ménagers utilisant d’autres carburants comme combustible, y compris les feux ouverts. En cas de doute, consulter le fabricant de l’appareil.

Ne pas obstruer l’alimentation en air du sèche-linge (voir les instructions d’installation pour les dégagements minimaux).

Ne pas placer d’articles tâchés d’huile de cuisson dans le sèche-linge. Des articles ayant été au contact d’huile peuvent s’en†ammer spontanément, surtout s’ils sont exposés à des sources de chaleur, telles un sèche-linge. Les articles peuvent chauffer, entraînant une réaction d’oxydation de l’huile. Le phénomène d’oxydation crée de la chaleur. Si la chaleur ne peut pas s’échapper, les articles peuvent devenir sufŠsamment chauds pour prendre feu. Le fait d’empiler, d’entasser ou d’entreposer des articles ayant été au contact d’huile peut empêcher la chaleur de s’échapper et créer un risque d’incendie.

Si l’on doit faire sécher dans le sèche-linge des articles ayant été souillés par des substances telles que de l’huile de cuisson, acétone, alcool, pétrole, kérosène, produit détachant, térébenthine, cire, décapant pour cire ou produits de coiffure, ils doivent être lavés à l’eau chaude avec un supplément de détergent avant d’être séchés dans le sèche-linge. Ces articles sont susceptibles de dégager des vapeurs qui pourraient s’en†ammer ou exploser. Les laver ainsi au préalable permet de réduire mais non de supprimer ce risque.

Cet appareil ne convient pas à une utilisation par des personnes (y compris des enfants) à capacités physiques, sensorielles ou mentales réduites, ou dépourvues d’expérience et de connaissances, à moins qu’elles ne soient placées sous supervision ou qu’elles aient reçu des instructions concernant l’utilisation de l’appareil par une personne responsable de leur sécurité.

Il convient de surveiller les enfants pour qu’ils ne jouent pas avec l’appareil.

Ne pas utiliser le sèche-linge si l’on a utilisé des produits chimiques industriels pour le nettoyage.

Retirer les portes du compartiment de séchage avant de retirer le sèche-linge pour un entretien ou de le mettre au rebut.

Ne pas accéder à l’intérieur du sèche-linge pendant le fonctionnement du tambour. Pour votre sécurité, l’appareil est pourvu d’un contacteur de porte.

Ne pas installer ou entreposer le sèche-linge dans un endroit où il serait exposé aux intempéries.

Ne pas effectuer d’intervention non autorisée sur les commandes.

Ne pas utiliser ce sèche-linge s’il semble défectueux.

Ne pas procéder à l’entretien, à la réparation ou au remplacement de n’importe quelle pièce du sèche-linge, à moins que ceci ne soit spéciŠquement recommandé dans le guide d’utilisation et d’entretien. Seul un dépanneur compétent est habilité à effectuer une intervention de réparation ou d’entretien sur cet appareil.

Ne pas utiliser d’assouplissants pour tissu ou de produits pour éliminer l’électricité statique à moins que cela ne soit recommandé par le fabricant d’assouplissants pour tissu ou du produit. Suivre leurs instructions.

Nettoyer le Šltre à peluches du sèche-linge avant ou après chaque charge. Ne pas utiliser le sèche-linge si le Šltre à peluches n’est pas installé.

La zone située autour des ouvertures de prise ou d’évacuation d’air et les zones adjacentes doivent être exemptes de peluches et poussières.

L’intérieur du sèche-linge et le conduit d’évacuation doivent être nettoyés régulièrement par un personnel d’entretien qualiŠé.

Voir les instructions d’installation pour les instructions de mise à la terre.

Ne pas faire sécher d’articles non lavés dans ce sèche-linge.

La partie Šnale du programme de séchage par culbutage a lieu sans chaleur (programme de refroidissement) pour que les articles soient laissés à une température qui ne risque pas de les endommager.

Les articles tels que le caoutchouc mousse (mousse de latex), les bonnets de douche, les textiles imperméabilisés, les articles avec endos de caoutchouc et les vêtements ou oreillers rembourrés avec matelassage en mousse doivent être séchés uniquement sur une corde à linge.

Si le cordon d’alimentation est endommagé, il doit être remplacé par le fabricant, son agent de service ou toute

autre personne qualiŠée aŠn d’éviter tout danger.

AVERTISSEMENT : Ne jamais arrêter un sèche-linge en phase de culbutage avant la Šn du programme de séchage à moins de retirer les articles rapidement et de les étendre aŠn de dissiper la chaleur.
