! The appliance has been designed and built
GB
according to international safety standards.
These warnings are given for safety reasons and must
be read 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 overload the dryer (see Laundry for maximum
loads).
Do not load items that are dripping wet.
Carefully check all instructions on clothing labels
(see Laundry).
Do not tumble dry large, very bulky items.
Do not tumble dry acrylic fibres at high temperatures.
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).
To minimise the risk of fire in your tumble dryer,
the following should be observed:
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.
Do not dry garments that have been treated with
chemical products.

Do not tumble dry items that have been spotted or
soaked with vegetable or cooking oil, this constitutes
a fire hazard. Oil-affected items can ignite
spontaneously, especially when exposed to heat
sources such as a tumble dryer. The items become
warm, causing an oxidisation reaction with the oil.
Oxidisation creates heat. If the heat cannot escape,
then items become hot enough to catch fire. Piling,
stacking or storing oil-affected items can prevent
heat from escaping and so create a fire hazard.
If it is unavoidable that fabrics that contain
vegetable or cooking oil have been contaminated
by hair care products be placed in a tumble dryer,
they should first be washed with extra detergent -
this will reduce, but not eliminate the hazard. The
cool tumble phase should be used to reduce the
temperatures of the items. They should not be
removed from the dryer or piled or stacked while hot.
Do not tumble dry items that have previously been
cleaned or washed in, soaked in or spotted with
petrol/gasoline, dry cleaning solvents or other
flammable or explosive substances. Highly flammable
substances commonly used in domestic environments
included cooking oil, acetone, denatured alcohol,
kerosene, spot removers (some brands), turpentine,
waxes and wax removers. Ensure these items have
been washed in hot water with an extra amount of
detergent before being dried in the tumble dryer.
Do not tumble dry items containing foam rubber
(also known as latex foam) or similarly textured rubber
like materials. Foam rubber materials can, when
heated produce fire by spontaneous combustion.
Fabric softener or similar products should not be
used in a tumble dryer to eliminate the effects of
static electricity unless the practice is specifically
recommended by the manufacturer of the fabric
softener or product.
Do not tumble dry undergarments that contain
metal reinforcements. Damage to the tumble dryer
can result if the metal reinforcements come loose
during drying.
Do not tumble dry rubber,plastic articles such as
shower caps or babies' waterproof covers, polythene
or paper.
Do not tumble dry rubber-backed articles, clothes
fitted with foam rubber pads, pillows, galoshes and
rubber-coated tennis shoes.
Remove all objects from pockets, especially
lighters (risk of explosion).
! 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.
Disposal
Disposing of the packaging material: follow local
regulations, so the packaging can be recycled.
Disposal of your old dryer: cut the power cord and
remove the door before disposing of an old dryer.
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).
