These warnings have been provided in the interest

INSTALLATION
■
Any electrical work required to install this appliance
should be carried out by a qualified electrician or
competent person.
■
Make sure that the appliance does not stand on its
electrical supply cable.
■
If the machine is situated on a carpeted floor,
please adjust the feet in order to allow air to circu-
late freely.
■
This tumble dryer is designed to be vented through

ventilation system connected to any other appli-
ance.
USE
■
Always unplug the appliance after use.
■
Clothes which are dripping wet should not be
placed in the dryer.
Always load well spun laundry. The higher the

Never tumble dry items that have been in contact
with chemicals such as dry cleaning fluid. These
are of a volatile nature and could cause an explo-
sion.
■
As some bulky items such as duvets and eider-
downs should be dried in large commercial
machines because of their bulk, check with the
manufacturer of the item if it is suitable for drying in
a domestic machine, even if the dry weight of the
item is within the limit advised.
■
Always check that no cigarette lighters have been
left in pockets.
■
Leave the porthole door slightly ajar when not in
use to preserve the door seal.
■
The fluff filter must be cleaned after every use.
■
Do not operate the appliance with a damaged filter
as this may cause a fire.

Do not overload the appliance.
