General safety

•Never place the machine on a carpet- covered floor, otherwise, lack of airflow beneath the machine may cause electrical parts to overheat. This will cause problems with your machine.

•If the power cable or mains plug is damaged, you must call Authorised Service Agent for repair.

•The product should not be plugged in during installation, maintenance and repair works. Such works should always be made by the technical service. Manufacturer shall not be held responsible for damages arising from processes carried out by unauthorised persons.

•Connect the product to a grounded outlet protected by a fuse of suitable capacity as stated in the technical specifications table.

•Operate your product at temperatures between +5°C and +35°C.

•Do not use electrical devices in the product.

•Do not connect the air exit of the product to the chimney holes which are used for the exhaust fumes of the devices operating with gas or other types of fuel.

•You must provide enough ventilation in order to prevent gases exiting from devices operating with other types of fuels including the naked flame from accumulating in the room due to the back fire effect.

•Always clean the lint filter before or after each loading.

•Never operate your dryer without the lint filter installed.

•Do not allow fibre, dust and dirt accumulation around the exhaust exit and at adjacent areas.

•Power cable plug must be within easy reach after installation.

•Do not use extension cords, multi-plugs or adaptors to connect the dryer to power supply in order to decrease the risk of electric shock.

•Do not make any changes on the plug supplied with the product. If it is not compatible with the socket, have a qualified electrician change the socket with a suitable one.

•Items cleaned or washed with gasoil/ fuel oil, dry-laundry solvents and other combustible or explosive materials as well as the items that are contaminated or spotted with such materials should not be dried in the product since they emit flammable or explosive vapor.

•Do not dry items cleaned with industrial chemicals in the dryer.

•Do not dry unwashed items in the dryer.

•Items soiled with cooking oils, acetone, alcohol, fuel oil, kerosene, stain remover, turpentine, paraffin and paraffin removers must be washed in hot water with plenty of detergent before being dried in the dryer.

•Garments or pillows bolstered with rubber foam (latex foam), shower bonnets, water resistant textiles, materials with rubber reinforcement and rubber foam pads should not be dried in the dryer.

•Do not use fabric softeners and anti-static products unless they are recommended by the manufacturers of the fabric softener or the product.

•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 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 in hot water
