2.3 Appliance use
WARNING!
Risk of fire, explosion, electric shock or
damage to the appliance.
WARNING!
Before first use, leave the dryer to stand for
2 hours after transporting.
— Use this appliance in a household only.
— The appliance contains an environmentally friendly
but flammable R290 refrigerant. Keep away from open
flame and other sources of ignition.
— Do not change the specification of this appliance.
— The final part of the drying cycle occurs without heat
(cool down cycle) to ensure that the items will not be
damaged. If you stop the appliance before the end of
the drying cycle, immediately remove and spread out
all items, so that the heat can dissipate.
— If you use fabric softener or similar products, obey the
instructions on the packaging.
— Do not run the appliance without a filter. Clean the lint
filter before or after each use.
— Wipe away lint that has accumulated around the
appliance.
— Do not dry the damaged items which contain padding
or fillings.
— Do not dry items such as foam rubber (latex foam),
shower caps, waterproof textiles, rubber backed articles
and clothes or pillows fitted with foam rubber pads.
— Before drying items that have been in contact with
substances such as cooking oil, acetone, alcohol , petrol,
kerosene, spot removers, turpentine, waxes and wax
removers, wash them in hot water with an extra amount
of detergent.
— Do not dry items in the appliance if industrial chemicals
have been used for cleaning.
— Make sure that no gas lighters or matches have been
left in the pockets of the clothing.
— Only dry fabrics which are applicable to dry in the
tumble dryer. Follow the instructions on the fabric label.
— Do not dry not washed items in the appliance.
— If you have washed your laundry with a stain remover
start an extra rinse cycle before you start the dryer.
— Do not drink or prepare food with the condensed water.
It can cause health problems to people and pets.
— Do not sit or stand on the open door.
— Obey the maximum load volume of 8kg (refer to the
“Program chart” chapter).
— Do not dry dripping wet clothes in the tumble dryer.
— Oil-affected items can ignite spontaneously, especially
when exposed to heat sources such as in a tumble
dryer. The items become warm, causing an oxidation
reaction in the oil. Oxidation creates heat. If the heat
cannot escape, the items can become hot enough to
catch fire. Piling, stacking or storing oil affected items
can prevent heat from escaping and create a fire
hazard.
— If it is unavoidable that fabrics that contain vegetable
or cooking oil or have been contaminated by hair care
products be placed in a tumble dryer they should first
be washed in hot water with extra detergent- this will
reduce, but not eliminate, the hazard.
— Ensure all objects are removed from clothing pockets
such as lighters and matches.
— Before first use, clean the inside of the drum with a
soft fabric cloth and run the “Refresh” program with
some clean rags inside. After finishing the cycle, please
clean the lint filter as per the instructions within this
user manual.
