In the interest of your safety and to ensure

the correct use, before installing and first

using the appliance, read this user manual

carefully, including its hints and warnings.

To avoid unnecessary mistakes and accidents,

it is important to ensure that all people using

the appliance are thoroughly familiar with

its operation and safety features. Save these

instructions and make sure that they remain

with the appliance if it is moved or sold, so

that everyone using it through its life will be

properly informed on appliance use and safety.
General safety

• It is dangerous to alter the specifications or

attempt to modify this product in any way.

• This appliance is not intended for use by

persons (including children) with reduced

physical, sensory or mental capabilities,

or lack of experience and knowledge,

unless they have been given supervision or

instruction concerning use of the appliance

by a person responsible for their safety.

• Make sure that small pets do not climb into

the drum. To avoid this, please check into

the drum before using.

• Any objects such as coins, safety pins, nails,

screws, stones or any other hard, sharp

material can cause extensive damage and

must not be placed into the machine.

• In order to avoid danger of fires caused by

excessive drying, do not use appliance to

dry the following items: Cushions, quilts

and the like (these items accumulate heat).

• Items such as foam rubber (latex foam),

shower caps, waterproof textiles, rubber

backed articles and clothes or pillows fitted

with foam rubber pads should not be dried

in the tumble dryer.

• Always unplug the appliance after use,

cleaning and maintenance.

• Under no circumstances should you attempt

to repair the machine yourself. Repairs

carried out by inexperienced persons may

cause injury or serious malfunctioning.

Contact your local Service Centre.

Always insist on genuine spare parts.

• 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

can not 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,

acetone, alcohol, petrol, kerosene, spot

removers, turpentine, waxes and wax

removers should be washed in hot water

with an extra amount of detergent before

being dried in the tumble dryer.

Danger of explosion: Never tumble

dry items that have been in contact with

flammable solvents (petrol, methylated

spirits, dry cleaning fluid and the like),

as these substances are volatile and

could cause an explosion. Only tumble

dry items washed with water.

Risk of fire: items that have been spotted

or soaked with vegetable or cooking oil

constitute a fire hazard and should not be

placed in the tumble dryer.

• If you have washed your laundry with stain

remover you must execute an extra rinse

cycle before loading your tumble dryer.

• Please make sure that no gas lighters or

matches have accidentally been left in pockets

of garments to be loaded into the appliance.

• The final part of a tumble dryer cycle occurs

without heat (cool down cycle) so that the

items are left at a temperature which ensures

they will not be damaged.

Never stop a tumble dryer before the end

of the drying cycle unless all items are

quickly removed and spread out so that

the heat is dissipated.
