Child safety
• Children are often not aware of how dangerous electrical appliances
can be. When the machine is working, they should be carefully super-
vised and not be allowed to play with the appliance - there is a risk
that they could become trapped inside.
• The packaging components (e.g. plastic film, polystyrene) can be dan-
gerous to children - danger of suffocation! Keep them out of child-
ren’s reach.
• Make sure that children or pets do not climb into the drum.
Positioning and connection
• Follow the separate instructions for positioning and connection.
• Check that the appliance has not been damaged during transport.
Never connect a damaged appliance! If this is the case, contact your
dealer.
• The dryer must not be installed in a room where the temperature can
fall below zero or is higher than + 35°C.
• The dryer must be levelled.
• The dryer must not be positioned on a thick pile carpet as this would
prevent air from circulating freely through the ventilation slots.
• If the appliance is installed near a gas, coal or electric heater, an insu-
lating non-inflammable panel must be inserted between the dryer
and the heater (size: 85x57.5 cm).
• The plug of the dryer must always be accessible.
• The dryer’s exhaust must not be fed into a cooker hood, or a chimney
or flue pipe designed to carry the exhaust from a fuel burning appli-
ance.
• Ensure the room is well ventilated.
• A permanent connection to the mains power supply can only be car-
ried out by a qualified electrician.
