•Always unplug the appliance after use.
•Clothes which are dripping wet should not be placed in the dryer.
•Danger of explosion: Never tumble dry items that have been in contact with inflammable solvents (petrol, methylated spirits, dry cleaning fluid and the like). As these substances are volatile, they could cause an explosion. Tumble dry only items washed with water.
•Please make sure that no gas lighters have accidentally been left in pockets of garments to be loaded into appliance.
•Do not dry canvas shoes or sports shoes, as they could get stuck between the door and the drum, thus blocking this latter.

•Do not allow fluff to accumulate around the dryer.
•The packaging components (e.g. plastic film, polystyrene) can be dangerous to children - danger of suffocation! Keep them out of children’s reach.
•Make sure that children or pets do not climb into the drum.
•When the appliance is to be scrapped, cut off the electrical supply cable and destroy the plug with the remaining cable. Disable the door catch in order to prevent children from becoming trapped inside while playing.
