Important safety information
Installation
• Any electrical work required to install this
appliance should be carried out by a qualified
electrician or competent person.
• Care must be taken to ensure that the appliance
does not stand on the electrical supply cable.
• If the machine is situated on a carpeted floor,
please adjust the feet in order to allow air to
circulate freely.
Use
• This appliance is designed for domestic use only.
If the machine is used for any other purposes or is
not used correctly, the manufacturer accepts no
responsibility for any damage that might occur.
• Always unplug the appliance after use.
• Clothes which are dripping wet should not be
placed in the dryer.
•
Danger of explosion
: Never tumble dry items that
have been in contact with inflammable solvents
(petrol, methylated spirits, dry cleaning fluid and
the like). As these substances are volatile, they
could cause an explosion. Tumble dry only items
washed with water.
•
Risk of fire:
items that have been spotted or
soaked with vegetable or cooking oil constitute a
fire hazard and should not be placed on the
tumble dryer.
• If you have washed your laundry with stain
remover you must execute an extra rinse cycle
before loading your tumble dryer.
• Please make sure that no gas lighters have
accidentally been left in pockets of garments to be
loaded into appliance.
• Do not dry canvas shoes or sports shoes, as they
could get stuck between the door and the drum,
thus blocking this latter.
• Leave the door slightly ajar when the appliance is
not being used. This will allow the seal to be
preserved.
• Clean fluff filters after using the tumble dryer. To
prevent fire risks,
do not use the appliance if the
fluff filters are damaged or without filters.
• Do not allow fluff to accumulate around the dryer.

electrical appliances can be. When the machine is

Keep them out of children’s reach.
• Make sure that children or pets do not climb into
the drum.
• When the appliance is to be scrapped, cut off the
electrical supply cable and destroy the plug with
the remaining cable. Disable the door catch in
