1 Important safety information
This section includes safety information that
will help protection from risks of personal
injuries or materialistic damages. Failure
to follow these instructions shall cause
any warranty and reliability commitment to
become void.
General safety
• Never place the machine on a carpet-
covered floor, otherwise, lack of airflow
beneath the machine may cause electrical
parts to overheat. This will cause problems
with your machine.
• If the power cable or mains plug is
damaged, you must call qualified electrician
for repair.
• The product should not be plugged in
during installation, maintenance and repair
works. Such works should always be made
by the technical service. Manufacturer
shall not be held responsible for damages
arising from processes carried out by any
unauthorised persons.
• Connect the product to a grounded outlet
protected by a fuse of suitable capacity as
stated in the technical specifications table.
• Operate your product at temperatures
b5°C and +35°C.
• 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.
• Always clean the lint filter before or after
each loading.
• Never operate your dryer without the
lint filter installed .
• Do not allow fibre, dust and dirt
accumulation around the exhaust exit and
at adjacent areas.
• Power cable plug must be within easy
reach after installation.
• Do not use extension cords, multi-plugs
or adaptors to connect the dryer to power
supply in order to decrease the risk of
electric shock.
• 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.
• 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 items cleaned with industrial
chemicals in the dryer.
• Do not dry unwashed items in the dryer.
• Items soiled with cooking oils, acetone,
alcohol, fuel oil, kerosene, stain remover,
turpentine, paraffin and paraffin removers
must be washed in hot water with plenty of
detergent before being dried in the dryer.
• Garments or pillows bolstered with rubber
foam (latex foam), shower bonnets, water
resistant textiles, materials with rubber
reinforcement and rubber foam pads should
not be dried in the dryer.
• Do not use fabric softeners and anti-static
products unless they are recommended by
the manufacturers of the fabric softener or
the product.
• 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.
• This product must be grounded. 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. Power cable of this
product is equipped with a conductor and
a grounding plug that allows for grounding
the product. This plug must be installed
appropriately and inserted into a socket
which is grounded in accordance with the
local laws and regulations.
• Do not install the product behind a door
with a lock, sliding door or a door that has a
hinge against the hinge of the dryer.
• Do not install or leave this product in
places where it will be exposed to outdoor
