DRYER SAFETY
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
n Do not dry unwashed items in the dryer.
n Do not use this dryer if industrial chemicals
have been used for cleaning. The
possible presence of residual quantities of
aggressive or decomposed chemicals in
the load may produce damage to the dryer
and harmful fumes.
n Do not allow children to play on or in the
dryer. Close supervision of children is
necessary when the dryer is used near
children.

be made by children without supervision.
Children of less than 3 years should be
kept away unless continuously supervised.
n This dryer is not intended for use by
persons (including children aged from 8

have been given supervision or instruction
concerning use of the dryer by a person
responsible for their safety.
n Before the dryer is removed from service
or discarded, remove the door to the dryer
compartment.
n Do not reach into the dryer if the drum is
moving.
n Opening the dryer door will stop the
function of the dryer.
n When loading or re-loading the dryer,
avoid touching hot metal parts of the drum
(burn risk).
n If drum rotation is blocked due to trapped
textiles, disconnect the dryer from the
electrical supply before gently removing
the blockage.
n If the dryer is not heating, or appears to
be defective or damaged, do not use it.
Contact the owner.

occurs without heat (cool-down cycle)
to ensure that the articles are left at a
temperature that ensures that the items
will not be damaged.

before the end of the drying cycle unless
all items are quickly removed and spread
out so that the heat is dissipated. (Avoids
risk of spontaneous combustion).
n In case of electrical supply failure, remove
the load quickly and spread it out to avoid
risk of spontaneous combustion.
n Keep area around the exhaust opening
and adjacent surrounding areas free from
the accumulation of lint, dust, and dirt.

the room and into the dryer must not be
blocked or sealed.

access to mains plug or disconnection
from mains supply via a double-pole
switch must be ensured at all times in
order to ensure immediate deactivation of
the dryer in case of emergency.

vent should be cleaned periodically by
qualied service personnel.
n See “Electrical Requirements” section for
earthing instructions.
n The dryer shall be disconnected from its
power source during service and when
