• 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, watercontainer 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).

• 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).
