1 Important safety instructions
This section contains safety instructions that will help
protect from risk of personal injury or property damage.
Failure to follow these instructions shall void any
warranty.
General safety
• Never place the product on a carpet-covered floor;
otherwise, lack of airflow beneath the machine will
cause electrical parts to overheat. This will cause
problems with your product.
• Do not operate the product if the power cable
/ plug is damaged. Call the Authorized Service
Agent.
• Do not make any changes on the plug supplied
with the product. If it is not compatible with the
socket, have a qualified electrician change the
socket with a suitable one.
• Never touch the plug with wet hands! Never unplug
by pulling on the cable, always pull out by grabbing
the plug.
• Connect the product to a grounded outlet protected
by a fuse of suitable capacity as stated in the
technical specifications table.
• Power cable of this product is equipped with a
conductor and a grounding plug that allows for
grounding the product. This plug must be inserted
into a socket which is installed and grounded in
accordance with the local laws and regulations.
Grounding installation decreases the risk of electric
shock by opening a path with low resistance
for the electricity flow in case of a malfunction
or failure. Do not neglect to have the grounding
installation made by a qualified electrician. If you
have any suspect about the grounding installation,
have it checked by a qualified electrician or the
Authorized Service Agent. Our company shall not
be liable for any damages that will arise when the
product is used without grounding in accordance
with the local regulations.
• The product should not be plugged in during
installation, maintenance, cleaning and repair
works.
• Always have the installation and repairing
procedures carried out by the Authorized Service
Agent. Manufacturer shall not be held liable for
damages that may arise from procedures carried
out by unauthorized persons.
• Do not use electrical devices in the product.
• Do not connect the air exit of the product to the
chimney holes which are used for the exhaust
fumes of the devices operating with gas or other
types of fuel.
• You must provide enough ventilation in order to
prevent gases exiting from devices operating with
other types of fuels including the naked flame from
accumulating in the room due to the back fire
effect.
• Items cleaned or washed with gasoil/fuel oil,
dry-laundry solvents and other combustible or
explosive materials as well as the items that are
contaminated or spotted with such materials
should not be dried in the product since they emit
flammable or explosive vapor.
• Do not dry the laundry cleaned with industrial
chemicals in the dryer.
• Underwear that contains metal reinforcements
should not be dried in the dryer. Dryer can get
damaged if metal reinforcements come loose and
break off during drying.
• Never attempt to repair the product yourself. Do
not perform any repair or replacement procedures
on the product even if you know or have the ability
to perform the required procedure unless it is
clearly suggested in the operating instructions or
the published service manual. Otherwise, you will
be putting your life and others' lives in danger.
• For failures that you cannot remedy by applying
the procedures in safety instructions, turn off and
unplug the product and call the Authorized Service
Agent.
• Do not reach into the machine when the drum is
spinning.
• Do not use extension cords, multi-plugs or
adaptors to connect the dryer to power supply
in order to decrease the risk of fire and electric
shock.
• Never wash the product by spreading or pouring
water onto it! There is the risk of electric shock!
The final step of the drying programme, namely
the cool-down step is performed without applying
heat to ensure that the laundry items are kept at
a temperature that will not damage them. If you
open the loading door before the cool-down step
completes, hot vapour will come out.
A
Never stop the dryer before the programme
completes. If you must do this, remove all laundry
quickly and lay them out to a suitable place to
dissipate the heat.
• Always clean the lint filter before or after each
loading. Never operate the dryer without the lint
filter installed.
• Clean inside and exhaust duct of the product
regularly. Do not allow fibre, dust and dirt
accumulation around the exhaust exit and at
adjacent areas.
