IMPORTANT TO BE READ AND OBSERVED

Before using the dryer carefully
read, Health and Safety and
Use and Care guides.

YOUR SAFETY AND SAFETY

This manual and the dryer
itself provide important safety
warnings, to be read and
observed at all times.

This is the safety alert symbol.
This symbol alerts you to
potential hazards that can kill
or hurt you and others.
All safety messages will follow
the safety alert symbol or the
word DANGER or WARNING.
These words mean:

DANGER

Indicates a hazardous situation
which, if not avoided, will
cause serious injury.

WARNING

cause serious injury.

All safety warnings give spe­cic details of the potential risk
presented and indicate how to
reduce risk of injury, damage
and electric shock resulting
from improper use of the dryer.
Carefully observe the following
instructions.
Failure to observe these in­structions may lead to risks.
The Manufacturer declines any
liability for injury to persons or
animals or damage to property
if these advices and precau­tions are not respected.

Very young (0-3 years) and
young children (3-8 years) shall
be kept away unless continu­ously supervised.
Children from 8 years old and
above and persons with re­duced physical, sensory or
mental capabilities or lack of
experience and knowledge can
use this dryer only if they are
supervised or have been given
instructions on safe appliance
use and if they understand the
hazards involved. Children shall
not play with the dryer. Clean­ing and user maintenance shall
not be made by children with­out supervision.

kerosene, spot removers,
turpentine, waxes and wax
removers should be washed in
hot water with an extra
amount of detergent before
being dried in the tumble
dryer.
Items such as foam rubber
(latex foam), shower caps,
waterproof textiles, rubber
backed articles and clothes or
pillows tted with foam rubber
pads should not be dried in the
tumble dryer.
Remove all objects from pock­ets such as lighters and match­es.
Do not use the tumble dryer if
chemicals have been used for
cleaning.

Oil-soaked items ignite sponta­neously, especially when
exposed to heat sources such
as in a tumble dryer. The items
become warm, causing an
oxidation reaction in the oil.
Oxidation creates heat. If the
heat cannot escape, the item
can become hot enough to
catch re. Piling, stacking or
storing oil-soaked items can
prevent heat from escaping
and so create a re hazard.
