international safety standards. These warnings are given for 

safety reasons and must be followed carefully.

General safety

  (cooling cycle) to ensure that the laundry is not damaged  

  due to excessive temperatures. 

•  This tumble dryer 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 there safety. 

•  This tumble dryer has been designed for home, and not  

  professional, use.

•  Do not touch the appliance while barefoot or with wet  

  hands or feet.

•  Unplug the machine by pulling on the plug, not the cord.
•  Children must not be in proximity of the dryer when in  

  use. After using the dryer, turn it off and unplug it. Keep  

  the door closed to make sure that children do not use it  

  as a toy.

•  Children should be supervised to ensure that they do  

  not play with the dryer.

•  The appliance must be installed correctly and have 

    proper ventilation. The air intake at the front of the      

  dryer and rear vents behind the machine should never  

  be obstructed 

(see Installation).

•  Never use the dryer on carpeting where the pile height  

  would prevent air from entering the dryer from the base.

•  Check to see if the dryer is empty before loading it.

 The back of the dryer could become very hot. 

          Never touch it while in use.

•  Do not use the dryer unless the filter, Water Container and         

  Condenser are securely in place 

(see Maintenance).

•  Do not use liquid fabric softeners in the dryer; add it to  

  the final rinse of your wash.

•  Do not overload the dryer (

see Laundry for maximum  

  loads).

•  Do not load items that are dripping wet.
•  Tumble dry items only if they have been washed with      

  detergent and water, rinsed, and been through the spin  

  cycle. It is a fire hazard to dry items that HAVE NOT        

  been washed with water.

 

•  Carefully check all instructions on clothing labels 

(see  

  Laundry).

•  Do not dry garments that have been treated with  

      

  chemical products.

  clothes, pillows fitted with foam rubber pads, foam (latex  

  foam), rubber, plastic, shower caps, waterproof textiles,  

  nappy pants or liners, polythene, or paper.

  (risk of explosion).

•  Do not tumble dry large, very bulky items.
•  Do not tumble dry acrylic fibres at high temperatures.
•  Complete each programme with its cool tumble phase.
•  Do not turn off the dryer when there are still warm items                   

  inside.

•  Clean the filter after each use 

(see Maintenance).

•  Empty the Water Container after each use 

(see  

   

  Maintenance).

•  Clean the Condenser unit at regular intervals 

(see Maintenance)

.

•  Do not allow lint to collect around the dryer.
•  Never climb on top of the dryer. It could result in damage.
•  Always follow electrical standards and requirements 

(see Installation)

.

•  Always buy original spare parts and accessories 

(see Service)

.

!

 WARNING: Never stop the dryer before the end of the drying 

cycle unless all items are quickly removed and spread out so 

that the heat is dissipated.

Recycling and Disposal information 

As part of our continued commitment to helping the 

environment, we reserve the right to use quality recycled 

components to keep down customer costs and minimise 

material wastage.

•  Disposal of packaging materials: follow local  

     

    regulations, so that packaging can be recycled. 

•  To minimise risk of injury to children, remove the door and  

    plug - then cut off mains cable, flush with the appliance.  

    Dispose of these parts separately to ensure that the    

    appliance can no longer be plugged into a mains socket.

Disposal of old electrical appliances 

The European Directive 2002/96/EC on Waste Electrical 

and Electronic Equipment (WEEE), requires that old 

household electrical appliances must not be disposed 

of in the normal unsorted municipal waste stream. Old 

appliances must be collected separately in order to optimise 

the recovery and recycling of the materials they contain and 

reduce the impact on human health and the environment. 

This dryer has as a sealed heat pump unit containing F gases 

which must recovered and destroyed.

The crossed out “wheeled bin” symbol on the product reminds 

you of your obligation, that when you dispose of the appliance 

it must be separately collected. 

Consumers should contact their local authority or retailer 

for information concerning the correct disposal of their old 

appliance.

(In UK this is your Civic Amenity Household Waste Recycling 

Centre).

Save energy and respect the environment 

•  Wring out all items to eliminate excess water before        

    tumble drying (if you use a washing machine first, select  

    a high spin cycle). Doing this will save time and energy  

    during drying. 

•  Always dry full loads - you save energy: single items or  

    small loads take longer to dry. 

•  Clean the filter after each use to contain energy  

     

    consumption costs
