Important safety information

Installation

• Any electrical work required to install this appliance
should be carried out by a qualified electrician or
competent person.

• Care must be taken to ensure that the appliance
does not stand on the electrical supply cable.

• If the machine is situated on a carpeted floor,
please adjust the feet in order to allow air to
circulate freely.

• This tumble dryer is designed to be vented through
to the open air. It should have its own ventilation
system which should not be joined with any other
ventilation system connected to any other
appliance.

Use

• This appliance is designed for domestic use only. If
the machine is used for any other purposes or is
not used correctly, the manufacturer accepts no
responsibility for any damage that might occur.

• Always unplug the appliance after use.

• Clothes which are dripping wet should not be
placed in the dryer.

• Danger of explosion: Never tumble dry items that
have been in contact with inflammable solvents
(petrol, methylated spirits, dry cleaning fluid and
the like). As these substances are volatile, they
could cause an explosion. Tumble dry only items
washed with water.

• Please make sure that no gas lighters have
accidentally been left in pockets of garments to be
loaded into appliance.

• Do not dry canvas shoes or sports shoes, as they
could get stuck between the door and the drum,
thus blocking this latter.

• Leave the door slightly ajar when the appliance is
not being used. This will allow the seal to be
preserved.

• Clean fluff filters after using the tumble dryer. To
prevent fire risks, do not use the appliance if the

fluff filters are damaged or without filters.

• Do not allow fluff to accumulate around the dryer.

General safety

• It is dangerous to alter the specifications or attempt
to modify this product in any way.

• Under no circumstances should you attempt to
repair the machine yourself. Repairs carried out by
inexperienced persons may cause injury or serious
malfunctioning. Contact your local Zanussi Service
Centre. Always insist on genuine Zanussi spare
parts.

Child safety

• Children are often not aware of how dangerous
electrical appliances can be. When the machine is
working, children should be carefully supervised
and not be allowed to play with the appliance.

• The packaging components (e.g. plastic film,
polystyrene) can be dangerous to children - danger
of suffocation! Keep them out of children’s reach.

• Make sure that children or pets do not climb into
the drum.

• When the appliance is to be scrapped, cut off the
electrical supply cable and destroy the plug with
the remaining cable. Disable the door catch in
order to prevent children from becoming trapped
inside while playing.

These warnings have been provided in the interest of safety. You MUST read them carefully before installing or
using the appliance.

To save energy and to help protect the environment,
we recommend that you follow these hints:

• Try to load the maximum capacity of the machine

as small loads are uneconomical.

• Always load well spun laundry. The higher the spin
speed, the lower the electricity consumption and
the shorter the drying times.

• Do not over-dry laundry, this avoids creasing and
saves energy.
Select the drying programme according to the type
of laundry and the required degree of dryness.

• To utilize the maximum load, laundry which is to be
dried ready to put away (store dry) can be dried
together with items to be ironed. To do this, select
the programme for iron-dry, remove the iron-dry
items at the end of the programme and then finish­dry the rest of the load.

• Clean the filters regularly to avoid excessive drying
times and high electricity consumption.

• Ventilate the room well. The room temperature
should not exceed +35°C during drying.

Tips for environmental protection

• Packaging materials

The materials marked with the symbol are
