General safety
●This tumble dryer has been designed for home, and not professional use.
●This dryer must be used by adults, and the instructions in this booklet should be followed carefully.
●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.
●The appliance must be installed correctly and have proper ventilation. The air intake vents behind the machine, the outlet vents and the vent tube should never be obstructed (see Installation).
●Never direct the vent tube outlet vent towards the air intake at the back of the machine.
●Never allow the tumble dryer to recycle exhaust air.
●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 is securely in place (see Maintenance).
●Do not use fabric softeners or dryer sheets in the dryer.
●Do not overload the dryer (see Laundry) for maximum loads.
●Do not load items that are dripping wet.
●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.
●Carefully check all instructions on clothing labels (see Laundry).
●Do not dry garments that have been treated with chemical products.
●Never dry articles that are contaminated with flammable substances (petrol, oil, paint, hair spray, creams, cooking fat or oils).
●Do not tumble dry rubber, foam rubber, plastic, plastic foam, nappy pants or liners, polythene or paper.
●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).
●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).
Disposal
●Disposing of the packaging material: follow local regulations, so the packaging can be recycled.
●Disposal of your old dryer: cut the power cord and remove the door before disposing of an old dryer.
Saving energy and respecting the environment
●Wring out 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 consumption costs (see Maintenance).
