1.1 Children and vulnerable people safety
WARNING!
Risk of suffocation, injury or permanent disability.
• This appliance can be used by children aged from 8 years
and above and persons with reduced physical, sensory or
mental capabilities or lack of experience and knowledge if
they have been given supervision or instruction concerning
the use of the appliance in a safe way and understand the
hazards involved.
• Children between 3 and 8 years of age and persons with
very extensive and complex disabilities shall be kept away
from the appliance unless continuously supervised.
• Children of less than 3 years of age should be kept away
from the appliance unless continuously supervised.
• Do not let children play with the appliance.
• Keep all packaging away from children and dispose of it
appropriately.
• Keep detergents away from children.
• Keep children and pets away from the appliance when the
door is open.
• If the appliance has a child safety device, it should be
activated.
6/64
• Children shall not carry out cleaning and user maintenance
of the appliance without supervision.
1.2 General Safety
• Do not change the specification of this appliance.
• The appliance can be installed as freestanding or below a
kitchen counter with correct space (refer to the Installation
leaflet).
• Do not install the appliance behind a lockable door, a sliding
door or a door with a hinge on the opposite side, that would
prevent the appliance door from being fully open.
• The ventilation opening in the base must not be covered by
a carpet, mat, or any floor covering.
• CAUTION: The appliance must not be supplied through an
external switching device, such as a timer, or connected to a
circuit that is regularly switched on and off by a utility.
• Connect the mains plug to the mains socket only at the end
of the installation process. Make sure that the mains plug is
accessible after installation.
• If the mains power supply cable is damaged, it must be
replaced by the manufacturer, its Authorised Service Centre
or similarly qualified persons to avoid an electrical hazard.
• Do not exceed the maximum load of 8,0 kg (refer to the
"program chart" chapter).
• Do not use the appliance if items have been soiled with
industrial chemicals.
• Wipe away lint or packaging debris that has accumulated
around the appliance.
• Do not run the appliance without a filter. Clean the lint filter
before or after each use.
• Do not dry unwashed items in the tumble dryer.
7/64
SAFETY INFORMATION
• Items that have been soiled with substances such as
cooking oil, acetone, alcohol, petrol, 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 fitted with foam rubber pads should not be dried in
the tumble dryer.
• Fabric softeners, or similar products, should only be used as
specified by the product manufacturer’s instructions.
• 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 cannot escape, the items
can become hot enough to catch fire. Piling, stacking or
storing oil-affected items can prevent heat from escaping
and create a fire hazard.
• If it is unavoidable that fabrics that contain vegetable or
cooking oil or have been contaminated by hair care products
be placed in a tumble dryer they should first be washed in
hot water with extra detergent -this will reduce, but not
eliminate, the hazard.
• Remove all objects from items that could be a source of fire
ignition such as lighters or matches.
• WARNING: 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 dissipated.
• Before any maintenance operation, deactivate the appliance
and disconnect the mains plug from the socket.

BEFORE FIRST USE
10. DAILY USE
10.1 Preparing the laundry
Very often the clothes after washing cycle are kneaded and
tangled altogether.
Drying kneaded and tangled clothes is inefficient.
To assure proper air flow and even drying it is recommended to
shake and load one by one the clothes to the tumble dryer.
To assure proper drying process:
•
Close the zips.
• Close the fasteners of duvet covers.
• Do not dry ties or ribbons loose (e.g. apron ribbons). Tie them
before you start a program.
• Remove all items from pockets.
• Turn items with the internal layer made of cotton inside out.
Cotton layer must be faced outwards.
• Always set the program suitable for the type of laundry.
• Do not put light and dark colours together.
• Use suitable program for cottons, jersey and knitwear to reduce
shrinkage.
• Do not exceed the maximum load stated in the programs chapter
or shown on the display.
• Dry only the laundry that is suitable for tumble drying. Refer to
the fabric label on the items.
• Do not dry large and small items together. Small items can be
trapped inside the large items and remain wet.
• Shake the large clothes, fabrics before placing in the tumble
dryer. It is to avoid moist places inside the fabric after the drying
cycle.
