INSTALLATION

SAFETY

This machine may not be used for drying fabrics that have been dry-cleaned at home, or which can be suspected of containing residues of flam- mable fluids.

The tumble dryer is fitted with an overhea- ting protection device, which switches the mach- ine off in the event of excessive temperature.

A float valve switches the machine off if the condensation water hose becomes clogged, or if there is danger of water flowing over from the container.

INTERRUPTING THE PROGRAMME

A drying programme can be interrupted by pres-

sing the main switch, , or by opening the door causing the drum to stop automatically. The machine will “remember” where in the pro- gramme it was when stopped. If you wish to continue the drying process, just close the door

and press the -button and the machine will start where it was interrupted.

You can also interrupt a programme by pres-

sing for three seconds. However, if you stop the machine in this way it will forget where it was in the programme and you will have to select a programme to restart.

TRANSPORT/WINTER STORAGE

If the machine is to be transported or stored during the winter, on unheated premises, ensu- re that the water container is drained.

DISPOSAL
