SAFETY REASONS
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 their safety.
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.
Never use the dryer on carpeting where the pile height would
prevent air from entering the dryer from the base.
The back of the dryer could become very hot. Never touch it
while in use.
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. Do not allow lint to collect around the
dryer.
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.
Do not tumble dry garments that have been treated with chemical
products.
Do not tumble dry items that have been spotted or soaked with
vegetable or cooking oils, this constitutes a fire hazard. Oil-
affected items can ignite spontaneously, especially when exposed
to heat sources such as a tumble dryer. The items become warm
causing an oxidisation reaction with the oil which creates heat.
If the heat cannot escape items can become hot enough to catch
fire. Piling, stacking or storing oil-effected items can prevent heat
from escaping and so create a fire hazard. If it is unavoidable that
fabrics containing vegetable or cooking oil or those that have been
contaminated with hair care products be placed in a tumble dryer
they should first be washed with extra detergent - this will reduce,
but not eliminate, the hazard. The cool tumble phase should be
used to reduce the temperature of the items. They should not be
removed from the dryer and piled or stacked while hot.
Do not tumble dry items that have previously been cleaned in,
washed in, soaked in or soiled with petrol/gasoline, dry cleaning
solvents or other flammable or explosive substances. Highly
flammable substances commonly used in domestic environments
including cooking oil, acetone, denatured alcohol, kerosene, spot
removers, turpentine, waxes and wax removers. Ensure these
items have been washed in hot water with an extra amount of
detergent before being dried in the tumble dryer.
Do not tumble dry items containing foam rubber (also known
as latex foam) or similarly textured rubber like materials. Foam
rubber materials can, when heated, produce fire by spontaneous
combustion.
Fabric softener or similar products should not be used in a
tumble dryer to eliminate the effects of static electricity unless the
practice is specifically recommended by the manufacturer of the
fabric softener product.
Do not tumble dry undergarments that contain metal
reinforcements e.g. bras with metal reinforcing wires. Damage
to the tumble dryer can result if the metal reinforcements come
loose during drying.
Remove all objects from pockets, especially lighters
(risk of explosion).
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.

in order to optimise the recovery and recycling of the materials they contain and reduce the impact on human health and the
environment.
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.
This appliance conforms to the following EC Directives: - 2006/95/EC (Low Voltage Equipment) - 2004/108/EC
