Correct use

~

To prevent the risk of fire, the

following textiles must not be dried in
this tumble dryer:

– items which have not been washed.

– items, such as workwear, which have

not been thoroughly cleaned and
which are still soiled with grease, oil
or other deposits (such as
cosmetics, lotions etc).
If items have not been thoroughly
cleaned there is a danger that these
might ignite when heated, even after
they have been removed from the
dryer at the end of the programme.

– items which have been treated with

inflammable cleaning agents or
contain residues of acetone, alcohol,
benzine, petrol, stain remover,
turpentine, wax, wax remover or
other chemicals (e.g. mops and floor
cloths).

– items which have been splashed with

hair lacquer, hair spray, nail varnish
remover or similar substances.

When washing such heavily soiled
items ensure that you use sufficient
detergent and select a high
temperature. If in doubt, wash the
items several times.

~

To prevent the risk of fire, the

following must not be dried in this
tumble dryer:

– fabrics which contain a large

proportion of rubber, foam rubber or
rubber-like materials. For example,
products made from latex foam
rubber, shower caps, waterproof
textiles, rubberised articles and items
of clothing and pillows with foam
rubber filling.

– damaged items which contain

padding or fillings (e.g. pillows,
jackets). When damaged, the filling
can get out with the risk of igniting in
the dryer.

~

In many programmes, the heating

phase is followed by a cooling down
phase to ensure that the items are not
too hot to handle when you remove
them (this also avoids the danger of the
laundry self-igniting). The programme is
not finished until the cooling down
phase is complete.
Ensure that you always wait until the
end of the programme before removing
the laundry.

~

Warning

: Do not switch the tumble

dryer off before the end of the drying
programme. If this was done and the
laundry was then removed immediately,
it could give off a great amount of heat.

~

Fabric conditioner and similar

products must be used according to
the instructions on the manufacturer's
packaging.
