Safety and warnings
WARNING!
Fire Hazard
Only dry fabrics that have been washed with water.
Do not use heat to dry articles containing foam rubber or similarly textured
rubber-like materials. Dry on Airing.
A clothes dryer produces combustible lint and must be exhausted outdoors.
Take care to prevent the accumulation of lint around the exhaust opening
and surrounding area.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death or personal injury.
Dryer use
The tumble dryer is intended only for drying textile material washed in water.
Undergarments that contain metal reinforcements should not be placed in the dryer. Damage
to the dryer can result if the metal reinforcements come loose during drying. If you wish to dry
these items use a drying rack.
Never dry rubber articles, fibreglass, or any plastic items or film eg plastic lined tablecloths and
baby bibs.
Clothes should go through the cool down/airing phase of the cycle. If for any reason the dryer is
stopped before the cycle has finished, dry clothes should be removed immediately and not left
in the dryer.
Clothes should be spread out to cool and not left bunched up eg in a clothes basket.
This dryer has been designed for domestic use only, not for commercial applications, such as
massage/beauty clinics where there may be increased lint accumulation or flammable materials
in the atmosphere or load.
This dryer is not intended for use by young children or infirm persons without supervision.
Young children should be supervised to ensure they do not play with the dryer.
Important!
If you are using an extension cord or a portable electrical outlet device (eg multi-socket outlet
box), ensure that it is positioned so that it does not come into contact with water or moisture.
Lint
Accumulated lint in the dryer can become a fire hazard, it also reduces the efficiency of the dryer
by causing longer drying times and increased power consumption.
Clean the lint filter before every load.
Ensure the area around the dryer is clear of lint.
At regular intervals have the interior of the dryer cleaned of any accumulated lint. This must be
done by a qualified person for electrical safety.
If you change the mounting of the dryer from upright to inverted or vice versa, the dryer must
be cleaned internally by a serviceman.
