•Use Important :

Your tumble dryer is designed for domestic use only, for drying textiles suitable for tumble drying.

Important :

You must observe the following instruc- tions. We decline any responsibility and res- cind the guarantee if these recommendations are ignored : failure to observe them can result in material damage and physical injury.

—Use your appliance in accordance with its method of use, thereby avoiding injury to your- self and damage to your items. Do not use sol- vents in the appliance (risk of fire and explo- sion).

—Strictly comply with the care instructions on your laundry.

—If you have to open the door of the drum during the drying cycle, ensure that you do not touch the drum immediately, as it is very hot.

EN 1 / FOR THE USER’S ATTENTION

—Substances contained in soiling such as oil, acetone, alcohol, petrol, kerosene, stain removers, turpentine or wax must be removed before drying in your machine (by using an adapted warm water washing programme with additional detergent for example).

—Precautions for using stain-removing products : any preliminary treatment by solvent, stain-remo- ver, aerosol, such as acetone, alcohol, gasoline, kerosene, térébentine is prohibited because these products are very inflammable. If your laundry requires this type of treatment, this must be done before washing. Similarly, we recommend that you do not use these products near to the dryer or, in general, near any electrical appliance in a poorly ventilated room in order to avoid any risk of an explosion.

—If any incidents occur, which you cannot resolve using the troubleshooting advice we provide (see “TROUBLESHOOTING”), contact our Technical Service Center.

—Before disposing of your worn-out appliance, make it unusable. Unplug and cut off the power cable flush with the appliance and make the door lock inoperable.

—For your safety’s sake, if you wish to change your appliance’s power cable, contact a qualified electrician.

—If any operating anomalies occur, disconnect your appliance and call our Technical Service Center.

•ENERGY SAVINGS

—Spin your textiles at high speeds ; the residual dampness will be low, as will your energy consumption. Even synthetic textiles must be spun before drying.

—Place the maximum load in your machine ; this will optimize the energy used. When doing so, comply with the indications on volume provided in this instruction manual.

—The drying time and the energy consumption are both increased by a high ambient temperature and too small a room.

—Clean the filter after each drying cycle.

—Clean the condenser twice a month.
