Important Safety Instructions

WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons when using the dryer, follow basic precautions, including the following:

■Read all instructions before using the dryer.

■Gas dryers should only be installed in a room if the room meets the appropriate ventilation requirements specified in the national installation regulations. Make sure the room containing the dryer has an adequate air supply for gas combustion 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 4" (10 cm) between the rear of 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-flow of gases into the room from appliances burning other fuels, including open fires, 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. Items contaminated with cooking oils may contribute to a chemical reaction that could cause a load to catch fire.

■Do not allow children to play on or in the dryer. Close supervision of children is necessary when the dryer is used near children.

■Before the dryer is removed from service or discarded, remove the doors to the drying compartment.

■Do not reach into the dryer if the drum is moving. A door switch is fitted for your safety.

■Do 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 specifically 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.

■Always use the cool-down period at end of drying cycle to avoid a heat build-up in stored clothes.

■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 qualified 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 qualified person in order to avoid a hazard.

■Do not dry unwashed items in this dryer.

■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 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 dryer.

■The final part of a tumble dryer cycle occurs without heat (cool down cycle) to ensure that the items are left at a temperature that ensures that the items will not be damaged.

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.
