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.

• This tumble dryer is designed to be vented

through to open air. It should have its own
ventilation system which should not be joined with
any other ventilation system connected to any
other appliance.

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.

• Tumble dryer is intended only for drying textile

material washed in water.

• Always unplug the appliance after use.

• Clothes which are dripping wet should not be

placed in the dryer.

Risk of fire

: items that have been spotted or

soaked  with vegetable or cooking oil constitute a
fire hazard and should not be placed in a tumble
dryer.

Oilaffected items can ignite spontaneously,
especially when exposed to heat sources such as
in tumble dryer. The items become warm, causing
an oxidation reaction in the oil. Oxidisation
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 can 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. The “cool down” cycle
of tumble dryers should be used to reduce the
temperature of the items. They should not be
removed from the tumble dryer or piled or
stacked while hot.

Items that have been previously cleaned in,
washed in, soaked in or spotted with
petrol/gasoline, drycleaning solvents or other
flammable or explosive substances should not be

placed in a tumble dryer.

Highly flammable substances commonly used in
domestic environments include acetone,
denatured alcohol, petrol/gasoline, kerosene,
spot removers (some brands), turpentine, waxes
and wax removers.

Items containing foam rubber (also known as
latex foam) or similarly textured rubber, like
materials should not be dried in a tumble dryer on
a heat setting.

Foam rubber materials can, when heated,
produce fire by spontaneous combustion.

Fabric softeners or similar products should not be
used in a tumble dryer to eliminate the effects of
static electricity unless this practice is specifically
recommended by the manufacturer of the fabric
softener or product.

Undergarments that contain metal
reinforcements should not be placed in a tumble
dryer.

Damage to the tumble dryer can occur if metal
reinforcements come loose during drying. 
When available a drying rack could be used for
such items.

Plastic articles such as shower caps or babies’
waterproof napkin covers should not be placed in
a tumble dryer.

Rubber backed articles, clothes fitted with foam
rubber pads, pillows, gumboots, raincoats, and
rubbercoated tennis shoes should not be placed
in a tumble 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.

• Ensure that no gas lighters have accidentally

been left in pockets of garments to be loaded in
the dryer.

• Do not dry canvas shoes or sports shoes, as they

could get stuck between the door and the drum,
thus blocking the drum.

• Leave the door slightly open when the appliance

is not being used. This will allow the seal to be
preserved.

• Remove fluff from the filter after using the tumble

dryer. To prevent fire risks, 

do not use the

appliance if the fluff filter is damaged or
missing.

• Do not allow fluff to accumulate around the dryer.

These warnings have been provided in the interest of safety. You MUST read them carefully before installing
or using the appliance.
