Safety Precautions
Do not dry unwashed items in the machine
The machine is not to be used if industrial chemicals have been used for cleaning.
Do not allow minors to use the machine.
Do not hose down the machine with water.
The machine's door lock must under no circumstances be bypassed.
Items that have been soiled with substances such as cooking oil, acetone, alcohol,
petrol, kerosene, spot removers, turpentine, waxes and wax removers should be
washed in hot water with an extra amount of detergent before being dried in the
machine.
Items such as foam rubber (latex foam), shower caps, waterproof textiles, rubber
backed articles and clothes or pillows fitted with foam rubber pads should not be
dried in the machine.
Fabric softeners or similar products should be used as specified by the fabric
softener instructions.
The machine may not be used to dry floor mops that contain polypropylene.
The final part of a drying cycle occurs without heat (cool down cycle) to ensure that
the items are left at a temperature that ensures that the items will not be damaged.
WARNING. Never stop the machine before the end of the drying cycle unless all items
are quickly removed and spread out so that the heat is dissipiated.
Remove garments from the machine as soon as they are dried. This prevents them
from becoming creased and reduces the risk of spontaneous ignition.
If the machine develops a fault, this must be reported to the person in charge as soon
as possible. This is important both for your safety and that of others.
The machine must not be located where a door, sliding door, etc., can block the
machine's door

physical or mental capacity or lack of experience and knowledge. Such people must
be instructed in the use of the machine by a person who has responsibility for their
safety. Minors must be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the machine.
Adequate ventilation has to be provided to avoid the back flow of gases into the room
for appliances burning other fuels, including open fires.
