Warnings and Suggestions

! The appliance has been designed and built according

to international safety standards.

These warnings are given for safety reasons and must

be followed carefully.

General safety

This tumble dryer is not intended for use by

persons (including children) with reduced physical,

sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience

and knowledge, unless they have been given

supervision or instruction concerning use of the

appliance by a person responsible for their safety.

This tumble dryer has been designed for home,

and not professional use.

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.

Children should be supervised to ensure that they

do not play with the dryer.

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 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 liquid fabric softeners in the dryer, add

it to the final rinse of your wash.

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 (cooking oil, acetone, alcohol,

petrol, kerosene, spot removers, turpentine, waxes,

wax removers and hair sprays), unless washed in

hot water with an extra amount of detergent.

Do not tumble dry rubber, rubber backed articles and

clothes, pillows fitted with foam rubber pads, foam

(latex foam), rubber, plastic, shower caps, waterproof

textiles, nappy pants or liners, polythene or paper.

Do not tumble dry large, very bulky items.

Do not tumble dry acrylic fibres at high temperatures.

Remove all objects from pockets, especially lighters

(risk of explosion).

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).

! WARNING: Never stop the dryer before the end of the

drying cycle unless all items are quickly removed and

spread out so that the heat is dissipated.

Recycling and disposal information

As part of our continued commitment to helping the

environment, we reserve the right to use quality recycled

components to keep down customer costs and minimise

material wastage.

Disposing of the packaging material: follow local

regulations, so the packaging can be recycled.

To minimise risk of injury to children, remove the

door and plug - then cut off mains cable, flush

with the appliance. Dispose of these parts separately

to ensure that the appliance can no longer be

plugged into a mains socket.

Disposal of old electrical appliances

The European Directive 2002/96/EC on Waste Electrical

and Electronic Equipment (WEEE), requires that old

household electrical appliances must not be disposed

of in the normal unsorted municipal waste stream. Old

appliances must be collected separately in order to

optimise the recovery and recycling of the materials

they contain and reduce the impact on human health

and the environment.

The crossed out "wheeled bin" symbol on the

product reminds you of your obligation, that

when you dispose of the appliance it must be

separately collected.

Consumers should contact their local authority or

retailer for information concerning the correct disposal

of their old appliance.

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).
