Child safety• Keep packaging away from children. Risk of suffocation!
• Children can often not see the dangers associated with electric machi-
nes. Never leave unsupervised children near the dryer.
• Ensure that children and small animals cannot climb into the dryer’s
drum. Risk of death! Keep the dryer door shut whenever it is not being
used.
General safety• Only specialists may undertake repairs on the dryer.
• Never start up the dryer if the mains cable is damaged or if the opera-
ting screen, operating plate or base area are damaged so that the insi-
de of the machine is open and accessible.
• Switch off the dryer before all cleaning, care or maintenance work. Also
disconnect the mains plug from the socket or – with permanent
connections – switch off the LS switch in the fuse box and/or fully
unscrew the screwed-in fuse.
• Disconnect the machine from the power supply during long pauses in
operations.
• When removing from the socket, never pull the mains plug by the cable,
instead take a hold of the plug.
• Manifold plugs, couplings and extension cables must not be used. Risk
of fire from overheating!
• Do not spray down the dryer with jets of water. Risk of electric shock!
• Do not lean on the open door. The machine may tip over.
• Once the drying cycle has been interrupted, the laundry and drum may
be hot. Risk of burns! Take care when removing the laundry.
