2.3 Appliance use
Warning! Risk of fire, explosion, electric shock or damage to the appliance.
— Use this appliance in a household only.
— 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 7 kg (refer to the “Programme 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 oilaffected 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.
