als were used for cleaning.
▪ Clean the fluff filters regu-
larly.
▪ Do not allow fluff to build up
around the tumble dryer.
▪ Do not dry unwashed items
in the tumble dryer.
▪ Textiles that have been
cleaned, treated or soaked
with flammable chemicals,
detergents or solvents (such
as white spirit, alcohol, stain
remover, oil, turpentine,
acetone, paint, wax, etc.)
are a fire and explosion haz-
ard! Wash materials contain-
ing such substances first by
hand with water or allow the
solvent to evaporate com-
pletely.
▪ Items such as foam rubber
(latex foam), shower caps,
waterproof textiles, rubber
backed articles and clothes
or pillows fitted with foam
rubber pads should not be
dried in the tumble dryer.
▪ Remove objects such as
lighters and matches and
the like.
▪ Never stop a tumble dryer
before the end of the drying
cycle unless all items are
quickly removed and spread
out so that the heat is dis-
sipated.
▪ Exhaust air must not be dis-
charged into a flue which is
used for exhausting fumes
from appliances burning
gas or other fuels.
▪ Do not use a fabric condi-
tioner or other fabric care
solutions in the wash. Other-
wise pay attention to the
manufacturer's instructions.
▪ Do not install the appliance
behind a door that locks, a
sliding door or a door with a
hinge that lies opposite the
hinge of the appliance.
To minimize the risk of fire in a
tumble dryer, the following should
be observed:
▪ Oil-affected items can 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 can-
not escape, the items can
become hot enough to
catch fire. Piling, stacking or
storing oil-affected items
can prevent heat from es-
caping and so create a fire
hazard. If it is unavoidable
that fabrics that contain ve-
getable or cooking oil or
