2.1 General safety• It is dangerous to alter the specifica-

tions or attempt to modify this prod-uct in any way.

• This appliance is not intended for useby persons (including children) with re-duced physical, sensory or mental ca-pabilities, or lack of experience andknowledge, unless they have been giv-en supervision or instruction concern-ing use of the appliance by a personresponsible for their safety.

• Make sure that small children and petsdo not climb inside the drum. Toavoid this, please check into the drumbefore using.

• Any objects such as coins, safety pins,nails, screws, stones or any other hard,sharp material can cause extensivedamage and must not be placed intothe machine.

• Items such as foam rubber (latexfoam), shower caps, waterproof tex-tiles (if there is no special drying pro-gramme), rubber backed articles andclothes or pillows fitted with foam rub-ber pads must not be dried in thetumble dryer.

• Make sure that there is access to themains plug after the installation.

• Always unplug the appliance after use,cleaning and maintenance.

• Under no circumstances should youattempt to repair the machine your-self. Repairs carried out by inexper-ienced persons may cause injury or se-rious malfunctioning. Contact your lo-cal Service Centre. Always insist ongenuine spare parts.

• Items that have been soiled with sub-stances such as cooking oil, acetone,petrol, kerosene, spot removers, tur-pentine, waxes and wax removersshould be washed in hot water with anextra amount of detergent before be-ing dried in the tumble dryer.

• Danger of explosion: Never tumbledry items that have been in contactwith inflammable solvents (petrol, me-thylated spirits, dry cleaning fluid andthe like). As these substances are vola-tile, they could cause an explosion.Only tumble dry items washed withwater.

• Risk of fire: items that have beenspotted or soaked with vegetable orcooking oil constitute a fire hazardand should not be placed in the tum-ble dryer.

• If you have washed your laundry withstain remover you must execute an ex-tra rinse cycle before loading yourtumble dryer.

• The condensed water is not suitableto drink or to prepare food. It cancause health problems to people andpets.

• Do not sit or lean on the load door.The appliance can tilt.

WARNING!• Risk of fire! To prevent from

the risk of self combustiondo not stop a tumble dryerbefore the end of the dryingcycle unless all items arequickly removed and spreadout so that the heat is dissi-pated.

• Lint must not be allowed toaccumulate around the tum-ble dryer.

• Risk of electric shock! Do not spraydown the appliance with jets of water.

• Oil-affected items can ignite sponta-neously, especially when exposed toheat sources such as in a tumble dryer.The items become warm, causing anoxidation reaction in the oil. Oxidationcreates heat. If the heat cannot es-cape, the items can become hotenough to catch fire. Piling, stackingor storing oil-affected items can pre-vent heat from escaping and so createa fire hazard.

• If it is unavoidable that fabrics thatcontain vegetable or cooking oil orhave been contaminated by hair careproducts be placed in a tumble dryerthey should first be washed in hot wa-

ter with extra detergent - this will re-duce, but not eliminate, the hazard.
