The appliance has been designed and built
according to international safety standards.
These warnings are given for safety reasons and
must be read carefully.
This appliance conforms to the following
EEC Directives:
- 72/23/EEC and 93/68/EEC (Low Voltage Equipment)
- 89/336/EEC, 92/31/EEC and 93/68/EEC

General safety
●
This tumble dryer has been designed for home,
and not professional use.
●
This dryer must be used by adults, and the
instructions in this booklet should be followed carefully.
●
Do not touch the appliance while barefoot or with
wet hands or feet.
●
Unplug the machine by pulling on the plug, not
the cord.
●
Children must not be in proximity of the dryer
when in use. After using the dryer, turn it off and
unplug it. Keep the door closed to make sure that
children do not use it as a toy.
●
The appliance must be installed correctly and
have proper ventilation. The air intake vents
behind the machine, the outlet vents and the vent
tube should never be obstructed (
see Installation
).
●
Never direct the vent tube outlet vent towards the
air intake at the back of the machine.
●
Never allow the tumble dryer to recycle exhaust air.
●
Never use the dryer on carpeting where the pile
height would prevent air from entering the dryer
from the base.
●
Check to see if the dryer is empty before loading it.
●
The back of the dryer could become very
hot. Never touch it while in use.
●
Do not use the dryer unless the filter is securely
in place (
see Maintenance
).
●
Do not use fabric softeners or dryer sheets in the
dryer.
●
Do not overload the dryer (
see Laundry
) for
maximum loads.
●
Do not load items that are dripping wet.
●
Tumble dry items only if they have been washed
with detergent and water, rinsed and been through
the spin cycle. It is a fire hazard to dry items that
HAVE NOT been washed with water.
●
Carefully check all instructions on clothing labels
(
see Laundry
).
●
Do not dry garments that have been treated with
chemical products.
●
Never dry articles that are contaminated with
flammable substances (petrol, oil, paint, hair
spray, creams, cooking fat or oils).
●
Do not tumble dry rubber, foam rubber, plastic,
plastic foam, nappy pants or liners, polythene or
paper.
●
Do not tumble dry large, very bulky items.
●
Do not tumble dry acrylic fibres at high
temperatures.
●
Complete each programme with its Cool Tumble
Phase.
●
Do not turn off the dryer when there are still
warm items inside.
●
Clean the filter after each use (
see Maintenance
).
●
Do not allow lint to collect around the dryer.
●
Never climb on top of the dryer. It could result in
damage.
●
Always follow electrical standards and
requirements (
see Installation
).
●
Always buy original spare parts and accessories
(
see Service
).
Disposal
●
Disposing of the packaging material: follow local
regulations, so the packaging can be recycled.
●
Disposal of your old dryer: cut the power cord and
remove the door before disposing of an old dryer.
Saving energy and respecting the
environment
●
Wring out items to eliminate excess water before
tumble drying (if you use a washing machine first,
select a high spin cycle). Doing this will save time
and energy during drying.
●
Always dry full loads - you save energy: single
items or small loads take longer to dry.
●
Clean the filter after each use to contain energy
consumption costs (
see Maintenance
).
