Warnings and safety instructions

The fluff filters and the plinth filter must be thoroughly dried after
cleaning. Do not replace them if they are damp or wet. Damp or wet
filters could cause operational faults.
Oil-affected items can ignite spontaneously, especially when
exposed to heat sources such as in a tumble dryer.
The items become warm, causing an oxidation 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 and so create a fire hazard.
If it is unavoidable that fabrics contaminated with vegetable or
cooking oil, or hair care products, be placed in a tumble dryer, they
should first be washed in hot water with extra detergent - this will
reduce, but not eliminate, the hazard.
To prevent the risk of fire, textiles that have not been cleaned
thoroughly or are still soiled with deposits of any kind must not be
dried in this tumble dryer. This applies in particular to
– Items which have not been washed.
– Items, such as workwear, which have not been thoroughly
cleaned and are still soiled with grease, oil or other deposits (such
as cooking oils, cosmetics, lotions, etc.). If items have not been
thoroughly cleaned, there is a danger that they might ignite when
heated, even after they have been removed from the tumble dryer
at the end of the programme.
– Items (e.g. mops and floor cloths) that have been treated with
inflammable cleaning agents or which contain residues of
acetone, alcohol, benzene, petrol, kerosene, stain remover,
turpentine, wax and wax remover or other chemicals.
– Items which have been splashed with hair lacquer, hair spray, nail
varnish remover or similar substances.
