Warning and Safety instructions
9
Correct use
The max. dry laundry weight is 10 kg.
Do not damage, remove or bypass the safety features and control elements of the
tumble dryer.
Only operate the tumble when all removable outer panels are in place so that it is im-
possible to touch an electrical component or moving part.
Danger of squashing or cutting fingers etc. around the drum door hinges and the fluff fil-
ter cover. Use the appropriate handles and release catches only.
The area necessary to open the drum door completely must not be obstructed by doors
or other structures.
Disinfecting and cleaning agents often have compounds containing chlorides in them. If
these agents dry on to stainless steel surfaces, the residual chlorides will attack the steel
and can cause rusting. To protect your machine from rust damage, we recommend only
using chloride free disinfecting and cleaning agents for washing and disinfecting pro-
grammes and for cleaning stainless steel surfaces of the machine itself. If you are unsure
about a particular agent, contact the manufacturer of that agent for advice. Accidental
spillages of agents containing chlorides should be rinsed off affected surfaces with water
and then dried with a soft cloth.
Do not use a pressure washer or hose pipe to clean the tumble dryer. This also applies
to the area behind the service panel at the front of the tumble dryer.
After use there is a danger around the refrigerant pipework and adjoining components of
hot or cold surfaces and parts being under pressure. Allow sufficient time for the machine
to cool down before opening any panels.
This tumble dryer can only be used by people with reduced physical, sensory or mental
capabilities, or lack of experience or knowledge, if they are supervised whilst using it or
have been shown how to use it in a safe way and understand and recognise the con-
sequences of incorrect operation.
Children under 8 years of age must be kept away from the tumble dryer unless they are
constantly supervised.
Children 8 years and older may only use the tumble dryer unsupervised if they have
been shown how to use it safely and recognise and understand the consequences of in-
correct operation.
Children must not be allowed to clean or maintain the tumble dryer unsupervised.
Please supervise children in the vicinity of the tumble dryer and do not let them play
with it.
Close the drum door after each drying cycle. This is to avoid the risk of children trying to
climb into the tumble dryer or hide things it, and animals getting into the drum.
Safety measures in the event of leaking refrigerant
The heat-pump coolant circuit contains a non-toxic, odourless refrigerant (R134a). If re-
leased into the atmosphere it is rapidly volatised. Because it is heavier than air it can dis-
place oxygen and pose a danger of asphyxiation in small unventilated rooms!
