IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
READ CAREFULLY AND KEEP FOR FUTURE REFERENCE
Read this manual thoroughly before first use, the safety precautions enclosed herein
reduce the risk of fire, electric shock and injury when correctly adhered to. Keep the
manual in a safe place for future reference, along with the completed warranty card
and purchase receipt. If applicable, pass these instructions on to the next owner.
Always follow basic safety precautions and accident prevention measures when
using an electrical appliance, including the following:
Electrical safety and cord handling
• Voltage: Make sure your outlet voltage and circuit frequency correspond to the
voltage indicated on the appliance rating label and your outlet socket is properly
earthed. If this is not the case, do not use the dryer.
• Separate circuit: We strongly recommend you connect the appliance to a separate
circuit serving only this appliance. This provides the best performance and prevents
overloading the house wiring circuits that could cause a fire hazard from overheating.
• Electrical hazard: Do not insert any objects into the appliance.
• No extension cord: Do not use this appliance with a power adaptor or extension
cord.
CAUTION:
If such a device must be used, the cord or outlet device must be
positioned so that it is not subject to splashing or ingress of moisture.
• Protect the power cord. Do not kink or damage the power cord. Position the cord
out of the way so no one steps on or places anything on the cord or against it. Do
not run the cord under floor coverings. Arrange the cord away from traffic areas
where it will not become a trip hazard.
• Damage: Do not operate the appliance after it malfunctions or has been dropped
or damaged.
In case of damage, contact the after sales support line for advice.
• Damaged cord: If the power supply cord is damaged, do not attempt to change
it yourself. A damaged cord or plug must be replaced by the manufacturer or a
qualified person in order to avoid a hazard.
• Disconnect: Unplug the clothes dryer from the power supply after use, before
cleaning, servicing or moving the appliance. To disconnect, turn the appliance off,
switch off the power outlet and remove the plug from the power outlet. Grip the
plug when disconnecting; do not pull on the cord. After disconnection, wait at least
2 minutes before turning the appliance back on again.
• RCD: Unless your home is already fitted with a residual current device (safety
switch), we recommend installing an RCD with a rated residual operating current
not exceeding 30mA to provide additional safety protection when using electrical
appliances. See your electrician for professional advice.
Usage conditions and restrictions
• Domestic use only: This appliance is intended for household use only. It is not
suitable for commercial, industrial or trade use. Do not use it for anything other than
its intended purpose (drying domestic quantities of washing), and only use it as

• Suitability for tumble drying: Only load suitable items into the clothes dryer. See
the box on the opposite page for which items and materials are unsuitable for the
clothes dryer and may present a fire risk.
• Preparation: Make sure all pockets of clothing to be dried are empty. Hard, sharp
objects such as coins, safety pins, bra wires, nails, screws, lighters or matches
must be removed as they can cause extensive damage to the dryer.
WARNING:
Any damage or malfunction resulting from foreign objects is not
covered by your warranty and may lead to expensive repairs.
• No open flames: Do not place open flame sources such as candles on the dryer.
• Hot surface: The door window may be hot after a long drying cycle. Always ensure
children are kept away from the machine. Do not store plastic, paper or clothing
that may burn or melt on top of the dryer during operation.
• Cool down: The final part of a clothes dryer cycle occurs without heat (cool down
cycle) to ensure that the items are left at a temperature that will not damage them.
WARNING:
Never stop the clothes dryer before the end of the drying cycle unless
all items are removed quickly and spread out so the heat is dissipated.
• Subsequent cycles: After turning off the power supply to the clothes dryer, wait at
least two minutes before turning it back on again.
• Lint filter:
WARNING!
The lint filter must be in place when drying. It must be
cleaned before or after each use.
• Service/repair: Except for the filters that require cleaning, this appliance contains no
user-serviceable parts inside. Do not attempt to open, disassemble or repair it your-
self; only have it serviced by qualified personnel, call our after sales support centre.
The appliance should not be tilted or turned sideways during use or maintenance.

General Safety Instructions (Cont.)
CAUTION!
The items listed below are UNSUITABLE for clothes drying. They can cause fire in
the dryer or extensive damage. DO NOT place them in the clothes dryer.
:
Items containing foam rubber (also known as latex foam) or similarly textured rubber-like
materials — when heated, these materials can spontaneously combust and cause a fire.
:
Items that have been spotted or soaked with cooking oil, or with highly flammable
substances — these substances constitute a fire hazard. Highly flammable substances
used in domestic environments include acetone, alcohol, petrol, kerosene, some stain
removers, dry-cleaning solvents, turpentine, waxes, wax removers and some hair care
products. (This also includes items that have previously been cleaned or spotted with
dry-cleaning solvents or other flammable or explosive substances.)
:
If it is unavoidable that fabrics that contain vegetable or cooking oil, or that 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 a clothes dryer should be used to reduce the
temperature of the items. They should not be removed from the clothes dryer or piled
or stacked while hot.
:
Undergarments that contain metal reinforcements (such as underwire bras), which can
come loose during drying and damage the clothes dryer.
:
Plastic articles such as shower caps or waterproof baby bibs.
:
Rubber-backed articles, clothes fitted with foam rubber pads, pillows, galoshes and
rubber coated tennis shoes.
:
Fabric softeners or similar products, unless specifically recommended by the product
manufacturer for use in a clothes dryer to eliminate the effects of static electricity.
CAUTION
!
• Do not use the tumble dryer if industrial chemicals have been used for cleaning.
• Do not dry unwashed items in the tumble dryer.
• Do not allow lint to accumulate around the tumble dryer. Clean the filter after every use.
• Adequate ventilation has to be provided to avoid the backflow of gases into the room
from appliances burning other fuels, including open fires.
This symbol alerts you to take care as oil-affected items can ignite
spontaneously, especially when exposed to heat, such as in a clothes dryer.
The items become warm, causing an oxidation reaction in the oil. Oxidation
creates heat. If the heat cannot escape, the items can become hot enough
to catch fire. Piling, stacking or storing oil-affected items can prevent heat
from escaping and so create a fire hazard.
• No timer: In order to avoid a hazard due to inadvertent resetting of the thermal cut-out,
this appliance must not be supplied through an external switching device, such as a
timer, or connected to a circuit that is regularly switched on and off by the utility.
• Liability: Improper use or installation may result in the risk of fire, electric shock and/
or injury. We assume no liability for any eventual damages caused by improper use or
handling, or by any other noncompliance with the instructions in this manual.
