DRYING
To minimize the risk of fire in a tumble dryer, the following should be observed:
● Items that have been spotted or soaked with vegetable or cooking oil constitute a fire
hazard and should not be placed in a tumble dryer.
● 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 cannot 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 be placed in a tumble dryer they should
first be washed in hot water with extra detergent-this will reduce, but not eliminate, the
hazard. The 'cool down' cycle of tumble dryers should be used to reduce the temperature
of the items.
They should not be removed from the tumble dryer or piled or stacked while hot.
● Items that have been previously cleaned in, washed in, soaked in or spotted with
petrol/gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents or other flammable or explosive substances should
not be placed in a tumble dryer. Highly flammable substances commonly used in domestic
environments include acetone, denatured alcohol, petrol/gasoline, kerosene, spot
removers (some brands), turpentine, waxes and wax removers.
● Items containing foam rubber (also known as latex foam) or similarly textured rubber like
materials should not be dried in a tumble dryer on a heat setting.
Foam rubber materials can, when heated, produce fire by spontaneous combustion.
● Fabric softeners or similar products should not be used in a tumble dryer to eliminate the
effects of static electricity unless this practice is specifically recommended by the
manufacturer of the fabric softener or product.
● Undergarments that contain metal reinforcements should not be placed in a tumble
dryer. Damage to the tumble dryer can result if metal reinforcements come loose during
drying. When available a drying rack could be used for such items.
● Plastic articles such as shower caps or babies' waterproof napkin covers should not be
placed in a tumble dryer.
● Rubber-backed articles, clothes fitted with foam rubber pads, pillows, galoshes and
rubber-coated tennis shoes should not be placed in a tumble dryer.

The correct way to wash
Preparing the laundry
A)
Select the laundry.
Loading the laundry
B)
Open the porthole.
C) Put the laundry in the washing machine.
Close the porthole again, ensuring that no items of
laundry are obstructing the lock.
Putting detergent in machine
D)
Open the drawer, choose the detergent and put in
the correct amount, according to the manufacturer’s
instructions and the advice on page 20.
Add any other laundry aids (see page 20). Close the
drawer again.
Selecting the wash programme
Refer to the programme guide or the programme descriptions on the machine to select the
most suitable programme.
Turning the selector knob, the required programme is activated.
Adjust the wash temperature if necessary.
Press additional function buttons (if required).
Check that the tap is turned on and that the discharge hose is positioned correctly.
Press the "Start/Pause" button.
When the "Start/Pause" button is pressed the machine sets the working sequence in motion.
The programme carries out with the programme selector stationary on the selected
programme till cycle ends.
Warning: If there is any break in the power supply while the machine is operating, a special
memory stores the selected programme and, when the power is restored, it continues where
it left off.
When the programme is finished
The word “End” will appear on the display.
Wait for the door lock to be released (about 2 minutes after the programme has finished).
The "Door Security" indicator light will go out.
Switch off the machine by turning the programme selector on the “OFF” position. Open the
door and remove the laundry. Turn off the tap.
