The appliance has been designed and built according

to international safety standards. 
These warnings are given for safety reasons and must
be followed carefully.

General safety

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.

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 vents 
behind the machine, the outlet vents and the vent 
tube should never be obstructed (

see Installation

).

Never direct the vent tube outlet towards the air 
intake at the back of the machine.

Never allow the tumble dryer to recycle exhaust air.

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 is 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.

Never dry articles that are contaminated with 
flammable substances (cooking oil, acetone, alcohol,
petrol, kerosene, spot removers, turpentine, waxes, 
wax removers and hair sprays), unless washed in 
hot water with an extra amount of detergent.

Do not tumble dry rubber, rubber backed articles and 
clothes, pillows fitted with foam rubber pads, foam 
(latex foam), rubber, plastic, shower caps, waterproof
textiles, nappy pants or liners, polythene or paper.

Do not tumble dry large, very bulky items.

Do not tumble dry acrylic fibres at high temperatures.

Remove all objects from pockets, especially lighters 
(risk of explosion).

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

).

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.

Disposing of the packaging material: follow local 
regulations, so the 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. 

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.

Saving energy and respecting the 
environment

Wring out 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 (

see Maintenance

).
