Oil-affected items can ignite spontaneously, especially when exposed to
heat sources such as a tumble dryer. The items become warm, causing
an oxidant ion reaction in the oil. Oxidation creates heat. If the heat
cannot escape, the items can become hot enough to catch fire. Piling,
stacking or storing oil-affected items can prevent heat from escaping,
creating a fire risk.
To ensure safety while using the tumble dryer, follow these guidelines:
• If fabrics contain vegetable or cooking oil or have been contaminated by hair products, you
must wash them in hot water with extra detergent before placing them in the dryer. This
reduces the risk of hazards associated with such oils and fabrics.
• Never place unwashed items directly into the tumble dryer. Always ensure items are clean
and free from substances, which may pose a risk during drying.
• If items have been soiled with substances like cooking oil, acetone, alcohol, petrol,
kerosene, spot removers, turpentine, waxes and wax removers, wash them in hot water
with extra detergent before placing them in the dryer.
• The final part of the tumble dryer cycle occurs without heat (cool down cycle), ensuring that
items are left at a temperature that avoids damage.
• WARNING: Never stop a tumble dryer before the end of the drying cycle unless all items
are quickly removed and spread out so that the heat is dissipated. Never stop a tumble
dryer before the end of its drying cycle, unless all items are quickly removed and spread
out, so the heat can disperse.
Never place this appliance upside down
WARNING
-Risk of Fire
To reduce the risk of fire, the installation must be carried out by a qualified installer. When
installing this clothes dryer, follow both the manufacturer’s instructions and local codes.
Avoid using flexible plastic venting materials for the clothes dryer. Instead, use a specific
type of venting material, which is approved by the manufacturer for use with clothes dryers.
Flexible materials can collapse, get easily crushed and trap lint, which obstructs the airflow
and increases the fire risk.
To reduce the risk of severe injury or death, follow all instructions in this manual.
To ensure your safety, properly ground this appliance. In case of any malfunction or
breakdown, grounding reduces the risk of electric shock – it provides a path of least
resistance for the electric current. This appliance comes with a cord that has an equipment-
grounding conductor, which has been grounded according to all local codes and ordinances.
Always prioritise proper grounding for electrical appliances.
WARNING
Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a serious risk of
electric shock. If in doubt, consult a qualified electrician or a representative from the
manufacturer. Do not attempt to modify the appliance plug. If the plug does not fit the outlet,
have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
Ensure the dryer is placed on firm and level ground. Avoid placing the dryer on carpet, as
this can block the intake and affect its performance. There should be at least 10cm of space
between the dryer and the surrounding walls, so air can circulate properly.
