IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
To reduce the risk of re, electric shock, or injury to persons when using the dryer, follow basic
p
recautions, including the following:
WARNING:
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Read all instructions before using the dryer.
Gas dryers should only be installed in a room if the room
t
he national installation regulations. Make sure the room
containing the dryer has an adequate air supply for gas
c
ombustion and/or drying operation. A window or equivalent
means of ventilation must be opened in the room when the
dryer is in use (an equivalent form of opening includes an
adjustable louvre, hinged panel, or other means of
ventilation that opens directly to outside air).
Keep a minimum clearance of 102 mm (4 in.) between the rear
o
f the dryer and any wall.
The operation of this appliance may affect the operation of
other types of gas appliances which take their air supply for
safe combustion from the same room. There has to be
adequate ventilation to replace exhausted air and thus avoid
the back-ow of gases into the room from apploances
burning other fuels, including open res, when operating the
tumble dryer. If in doubt, consult the appliance
manufacturers.
Do not obstruct the air supply to the dryer (see Installation
Instructions for minimum clearances).
Do not place items exposed to cooking oils in your dryer. 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 re. Piling, stacking or
storing oil-affected items can prevent heat from escaping
and so create a re hazard.
If it is unavoidable to dry in the dryer items that have been
soiled with substances such as cooking oil, acetone, alcohol,
petrol, kerosene, spot removers, turpentine, waxes and wax
removers, or that have been contaminated by hair care
products, should be washed in hot water with an extra
amount of detergent before being dried in the dryer. These
items may give off vapours that could ignite or explode. Such
washing will reduce, but not eliminate, the hazard.
This appliance 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 instructions concerning
use of the appliance by persons responsible for their safety.
Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not
play with the appliance.
The dryer should not be used if industrial chemicals have
b
een used for cleaning.
B
efore the dryer is removed from service or discarded,
r
emove the doors to the drying compartment.
Do not reach into the dryer if the drum is moving. A door
switch is tted for your safety.
D
o not install or store the dryer where it will be exposed
to the weather.
Do not tamper with controls.
Do not continue to use this appliance if it appears to be
faulty.
Do not repair or replace any part of the dryer or attempt
any maintenance unless specically recommended in this
Use and Care Guide. Repairs and servicing should only
be carried out by competent service personnel.
Do not use fabric softeners or products to eliminate static
unless recommended by the manufacturer of the fabric
softener or product. Follow their instructions.
Clean dryer lint screen before or after each load. Do not
operate dryer without lint screen in place.
Keep area around the exhaust and inlet openings and
adjacent surrounding areas free from the accumulation of
lint, dust, and dirt.
The interior of the dryer and exhaust vent should be
cleaned periodically by qualied service personnel.
See Installation Instructions for earthing instructions.
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the
manufacturer or its service agent or a similarly qualied
person in order to avoid hazard.
Do not use an extension cord or a portable outlet device
with this dryer.
Do not dry unwashed items in this dryer.
Items such as foam rubber (latex foam), shower caps,
waterproof textiles, rubber backed articles and clothes or
pillows tted with foam rubber pads should only be dried
using the Air Dry (no heat) Cycle.
The nal part of a tumble dryer cycle occurs without heat
(cool down cycle) to ensure that the items are left at a
temperature that ensures the items will not be damaged.
WARNING: Never stop a tumble dryer cycle before the
end of the drying cycle unless all items are quickly removed
and spread out so that the heat is dissipated.
