General safety

• The final part of a tumble dryer cycle occurs without heat

(cooling cycle) to ensure that the laundry is not damaged

due to excessive temperatures.

• 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 there 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 at the front of the

dryer should never be obstructed (see Installation).

• 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, water

• container and condenser are 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).

• Empty the water container after each use (see

Maintenance).

• ●Clean the condenser unit at regular intervals (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 oils, 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, items

can become hot enough to catch fire. Piling, stacking or

storing oil-effected items can prevent heat from escaping

and so create a fire hazard.If it is unavoidable that fabrics

containing vegetable or cooking oil or those that have been

contaminated with 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 temperature of the

items. They should not be removed from the dryer and piled

or stacked while hot.

• Do not tumble dry items that have previously been cleaned

in or washed in, soaked in or soiled with petrol/gasoline,

dry cleaning solvents or other flammable or explosive

substances. Highly flammable substances commonly used

in domestic environments including cooking oil, acetone,

denatured alcohol, kerosene, spot removers, 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 product.

• Do not tumble dry undergarments that contain metal

reinforcements eg. bras with metal reinforcing wires. 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.

! 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.

Save energy and respect the environment

• Wring out all 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).
