Technical Safety

WARNING - To avoid a fireRisk of Fire and Flammable MaterialsThis appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety. Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or its service agents or similarly qualified person in order to avoid a hazard.This appliance is intended to be used in household only.Do not dry unwashed items in the appliance.Items that have been soiled with substances such as cooking oil, vegetable oil, acetone, alcohol, petroleum, kerosene, spot removers, turpentine, waxes and wax removers should be washed in hot water with an extra amount of detergent before being dried in the appliance.Items such as foam rubber (latex foam), shower caps, waterproof textiles, rubber backed articles and clothes or pillows fitted with foam rubber pads should not be dried in the tumble dryer.Fabric softeners, or similar products, should be used as specified by the fabric softener instructions.Remove all objects from pockets such as lighters and matches.The lint filters must be cleaned frequently.Lint must not to be allowed to accumulate around the appliance.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 create 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 that contain vegetable or cooking oil or have been contaminated by 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.This appliance contains R290, a refrigerant that is environmentally friendly but flammable. Do not damage the refrigerant circuit, keep an open frame and ignition sources away from the appliance.The appliance is not to be used if industrial chemicals have been used for cleaning.Never stop the appliance before the end of the drying cycle unless all items are quickly removed and spread out so that the heat is dissipated.The appliance must not be supplied through an external switching device, such as a timer, or connected to a circuit that is regularly switched on and off by a utility.In the appliance enclosure or in the built-in structure, keep ventilation openings clear of obstruction. If not, it can result in a fire.If a leak is detected, avoid any naked flames or potential sources of ignition and air the room in which the appliance is standing for several minutes. In order to avoid the creation of a flammable gas air mixture if a leak in the refrigerating circuit occurs, the size of the room in which the appliance is used should correspond to the amount of refrigerant used. The room must be 1 m3 in size for every 8 g of R290 refrigerant inside the appliance.Refrigerant leaking out of the pipes could ignite or cause an explosion.The amount of refrigerant in your particular appliance is shown on the identification plate inside the appliance.Do not drink the condensed water. Failure to do so may result in food-borne illnesses.Do not spray dry cleaning detergent directly onto the appliance or use the appliance to dry clothes left with dry cleaning detergent.Do not dry clothes stained with oil substances. Oil substances (including edible oils) stained on clothes cannot be completely removed even after washing with water.Remove clothes from the appliance immediately when drying is complete or the power is turned off during the drying process. Leaving clothes that have been dried in the appliance unattended could result in fire. Remove clothes immediately after drying, and then hang or lay the clothes flat to cool.

Maximum Capacity

The maximum capacity in some cycles for clothes to be dried is 10 kg (Dry).The recommended maximum capacity for each drying programme may differ. To get good dry results, please refer to Programme Table in OPERATION chapter for further details.
