Important Safety Information

It is most important that this instruction book should be retained with the appliance for
future reference. Should the appliance be sold or transferred to another owner, or should
you move house and leave the appliance, always ensure that the book is supplied with the
appliance in order that the new owner can get to know the functioning of the appliance
and the relevant warnings.

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

Installation

• This appliance is heavy. Care should be taken when

moving it.

• It is dangerous to alter the specifications or attempt

to modify this product in any way.

• 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.

• If the tumble dryer is placed on top of a washing

machine, it is compulsory to use the stacking kit
(available as an accessory).

Child Safety

• This appliance is designed to be operated by adults.

Children should not be allowed to tamper with the

• Pets and children have been known to climb into

tumble dryers. Please check your drum before use.
Keep all packaging well away for children.

•

Use

• Do not overload the appliance (see programme

chart).

• Clothes which are dripping wet should not be

placed in the dryer.

• As some bulky items such as duvets and

eiderdowns should be dried in large commercial
machines because of their bulk, check with the
manufacturer of the item if it is suitable for drying
in a domestic machine, even if the dry weight of
the item is within the limit advised.

• Please make sure that no gas lighters or matches

have accidentally been left in pockets of garments
to be loaded into appliance.

• 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 substance are volatile, they
could cause an explosion. Only tumble dry items
washed with water.

• Risk of fire: items that have been spotted or soaked

with vegetable or cooking oil constitute a fire
hazard and should not be placed in the tumble
dryer.

• If you have washed your laundry with stain

remover you must execute an extra rinse cycle
before loading your tumble dryer.

• In order to avoid danger of fires caused by

excessive drying, do not use appliance to dry the
following items:

Cushions, quilts and the like (these items
accumulate heat).
Items containing rubber foam or materials similar
to rubber foam.

• 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 tumble dryer. To

prevent fire risks, do not use the appliance if the

Your New Tumble Dryer

This tumble dryer will give your wash that soft, relaxed feel whatever the weather.
Extremely high quality standards both during development and

manufacturing guarantee a long service life for your appliance.
Maximum economy in the operation of your dryer is achieved through

very economical electricity consumption and short drying times.

Energy saving tips

To save energy 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.

• 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.

In the interest
of the environment

• Materials marked with the symbol are recyclable.

• Check with your local Council or Environmental

Health Office to see if there are facilities in your
area for re-cycling this appliance.

• When the appliance is to be scrapped, cut off the

power supply cable and make the door closing
device unusable to prevent young children from
being trapped inside.

• Help to keep your country tidy - use authorised

disposal sites for your old appliance.

How do we help to protect the
environment? We use recycled paper!
