to international safety standards. These warnings are
given for safety reasons and must be followed carefully.
General safety
• This tumble dryer is not intended for use by persons
(including children) with reduced physical, sensory or
mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge,
unless they have been given supervision or instruction
concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible
for there safety.
• This tumble dryer has been designed for home, and not
professional, use.
• Do not touch the appliance while barefoot or with wet
hands or feet.
• Unplug the machine by pulling on the plug, not the cord.
• Children must not be in proximity of the dryer when in use.
After using the dryer, turn it off and unplug it. Keep the
door closed to make sure that children do not use it as a
toy.
• Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not
play with the dryer.
• The appliance must be installed correctly and have proper
ventilation. The air intake at the front of the dryer should
never be obstructed. (see Installation).
• Never use the dryer on carpeting where the pile height
would prevent air from entering the dryer from the base.
• Check to see if the dryer is empty before loading it.
•
The back of the dryer could become very hot.
Never touch it while in use.
• Do not use the dryer unless the filter, Water Container and
Condenser are securely in place (see Maintenance
• Do not over load the dryer (see Laundry for maximum
loads).
• Do not load items that are dripping wet.
• Carefully check all instructions on clothing labels (see
Laundry).
• Do not tumble dry large, very bulky items.
• Do not tumble dry acrylic fibres at high temperatures.
• Complete each programme with its cool tumble phase.
• Do not turn off the dryer when there are still warm
items inside.
• Clean the filter after each use (see Maintenance).
• Empty the Water Container after each use (see
Maintenance).
• Clean the Condenser unit at regular intervals (see
Maintenance).
• Do not allow lint to collect around the dryer.
• Never climb on top of the dryer. It could result in
damage.
• Always follow electrical standards and requirements. (see
Installation).
• Always buy original spare parts and accessories
(see Service).
To minimize the risk of fire in your tumble dryer, the
following should be observed
• Tumble dry items only if they have been washed with
detergent and water, rinsed, and been through the spin
cycle. It is a fire hazard to dry items that HAVE NOT been
washed with water.
• Do not dry garments that have been treated with chemical
products
• Do not tumble dry items that have been spotted or
soaked with vegetable or cooking oil this constitute a
fire hazard.
Oil-affected items can ignite spontaneously, especially
when exposed to heat sources such as a tumble dryer.
The items become warm, causing an oxidisation
reaction with the oil, Oxidisation creates heat. If the heat
cannot escape, then items can become hot enough to
catch fire. Piling, stacking or storing oil-effected items
can prevent heat from escaping and so 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 with extra detergent – this will reduce, but not
eliminate, the hazard. The cool tumble phase should be
used to reduce the temperature of the items. They
should not be removed from the dryer or piled or
stacked while hot
• Do not tumble dry items that have previously been
cleaned in or washed in, soaked in or soiled with
petrol/gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents or other
flammable or explosive substances. Highly flammable
substances commonly used in domestic
environments included cooking oil, acetone,
denatured alcohol, kerosene, spot removers,
turpentine, waxes and wax removers. Ensure these
items have been washed in hot water with an extra
amount of detergent before being dried in the tumble
dryer.
• Do not tumble dry items containing foam rubber (also
known as latex foam) or similarly textured rubber like
materials. Foam rubber materials can, when heated
produce fire by spontaneous combustion.
• Fabric softeners or similar products should not be used
in a tumble dryer to eliminate the effects of static
electricity unless the practice is specifically
recommended by the manufacturer of the fabric
softener or product.
• Do not tumble dry undergarments that contain metal
reinforcements e.g. bras with metal reinforcing wires.
Damage to the tumble dryer can result if the metal
reinforcements come loose during drying.
• Do not tum ble dry rubber, plastic articles such as
shower caps or babies’ waterproof covers, polythene,
or paper
• Do not tum ble dry rubber-backed articles, clothes fitted
with foam rubber pads, pillows, galoshes and rubber-
coated tennis shoes.
• Remove all objects from pockets, especially lighters
(risk of explosion)
! WARNING:
Never stop the dryer before the end of the
drying cycle unless all items are quickly removed and
spread out so that the heat is dissipated.
Save energy and respect the environment
• Wring out all items to eliminate excess water before
tumble drying (if you use a washing machine first,
select a high spin cycle). Doing this will save time and
energy during drying.
• Always dry full loads - you save energy: single items or
small loads take longer to dry
• Clean the filter after each use to contain energy
