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 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.

• 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 Heat Pump filter unit at regular intervals (see

• 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.

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 withhair 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 (risk of

explosion).

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).
