Child safety
• Children are often not aware of how dangerous electrical appliances can
be. When the machine is working, they should be carefully supervised
and not be allowed to play with the appliance - there is a risk that they
could become trapped inside.
• The packaging components (e.g. plastic film, polystyrene) can be dan-
gerous to children - danger of suffocation! Keep them out of children’s
reach.
• Make sure that children or pets do not climb into the drum.
Positioning and connection
• Follow the separate instructions for positioning and connection.
• Check that the appliance has not been damaged during transport.
Never connect a damaged appliance! If this is the case, contact your
dealer.
• The dryer must not be installed in a room where the temperature can
fall below zero or is higher than + 35°C.
• The dryer must be levelled.
• The dryer must not be positioned on a thick pile carpet as this would
prevent air from circulating freely through the ventilation slots.
• If the appliance is installed near a gas, coal or electric heater, an insulating
non-inflammable panel must be inserted between the dryer and the heater
(size: 85x57.5 cm).
• The plug of the dryer must always be accessible.
• The dryer’s exhaust must not be fed into a cooker hood, or a chimney or
flue pipe designed to carry the exhaust from a fuel burning appliance.
• Ensure the room is well ventilated.
• A permanent connection to the mains power supply can only be carried
out by a qualified electrician.
