Proper use

• For safety reasons, the appliance must not be modified.

• This appliance is designed for domestic use only. If the dryer is used

for any other purposes or is not used correctly, the manufacturer
accepts no responsibility for any possible damage that might occur.

• Dry only items that have been washed with water. Never dry items that

have been in contact with inflammable solvents (petrol, methylated
spirits, dry cleaning fluid and the like). These are of a volatile nature and
could cause an explosion or a fire.

• Items containing rubber foam or materials similar to rubber foam

must not be dried in the appliance. Fire danger!

General instructions

• Starched fabrics leave traces of starch in the drum, therefore they

should not be dried in the appliance.

• If the load to be dried exceeds the maximum weight indicated, creasing

may occur. For particularly delicate fabrics, the maximum load should
not exceed 1.5 kg.

• For your information: 70 per cent of fabric wear is caused by wearing the

garments, 20 percent by washing and only 10 percent by drying them in
a tumble dryer. In your appliance, fluff accumulates in the filter. Only
0.03g fluff per Kilo will be lost by your laundry when being machine
dried.
