●
do not play with the dryer.
The appliance must be installed correctly and
●
have proper ventilation. The air intake at the front
of the dryer should never be obstructed (see
Installation).
Never use the dryer on carpeting where the pile
●
height would prevent air from entering the dryer
from the base.
Check to see if the dryer is empty before loading it.
●
The back of the dryer could become very
●
hot. Never touch it while in use.
Do not use the dryer unless the filter, water
●
container and condenser are securely in place
(see Maintenance).
Do not overload the dryer (see Laundry for
●
maximum loads).
Do not load items that are dripping wet.
●
Carefully check all instructions on clothing labels
●
(see Laundry).
Do not tumble dry large, very bulky items.
●
Do not tumble dry acrylic fibres at high temperatures.
●
Complete each programme with its Cool Tumble Phase.
●
Do not turn off the dryer when there are still warm
●
items inside.
Clean the filter after each use (see Maintenance).
●
Empty the water container after each use (see
●
Maintenance).
Clean the condenser unit at regular intervals

To minimise the risk of fire in your tumble dryer, the
following should be observed:
Tumble dry items only if they have been washed with
●
detergent and water, rinsed and been through the spin
cycle. It is a fire hazard to dry items that HAVE NOT
been washed with water.
Do not dry garments that have been treated with
●
chemical products.
Do not tumble dry items that have been spotted or
●
soaked with vegetable or cooking oils, this constitutes a
fire hazard. Oil-affected items can ignite spontaneously,
especially when exposed to heat sources such as a tumble
dryer. The items become warm, causing an oxidisation
reaction with the oil, Oxidisation creates heat. If the heat
cannot escape, items can become hot enough to catch
fire. Piling, stacking or storing oil-effected items can prevent
heat from escaping and so create a fire hazard.
If it is unavoidable that fabrics containing vegetable or
cooking oil or those that have been contaminated with
hair care products be placed in a tumble dryer they should
first be washed with extra detergent - this will reduce, but
not eliminate the hazard. The cool tumble phase should
be used to reduce the temperature of the items. They
should not be removed from the dryer and piled or
stacked while hot.
Do not tumble dry items that have previously been
●
cleaned in or washed in, soaked in or soiled with
petrol/gasoline, dry cleaning solvents or other flammable
or explosive substances. Highly flammable substances
commonly used in domestic environments including
cooking oil, acetone, denatured alcohol, kerosene, spot
removers, turpentine, waxes and wax removers. Ensure
these items have been washed in hot water with an extra
amount of detergent before being dried in the tumble dryer.
Do not tumble dry items containing foam rubber (also
●
known as latex foam), or similarly textured rubber like
materials. Foam rubber materials can, when heated,
produce fire by spontaneous combustion.
Fabric softener or similar products should not be used in
●
a tumble dryer to eliminate the effects of static electricity
unless the practice is specifically recommended by the
manufacturer of the fabric softener product.
Do not tumble dry undergarments that contain metal
●
reinforcements eg. bras with metal reinforcing wires.
Damage to the tumble dryer can result if the metal
reinforcements come loose during drying.
Do not tumble dry rubber, plastic articles such as shower
●
caps or babies waterproof covers, polythene or paper.
Do not tumble dry rubber backed articles, clothes fitted
●
with foam rubber pads, pillows, galoshes and rubber
coated tennis shoes.
Remove all objects from pockets, especially lighters
●
(risk of explosion).
! WARNING: Never stop the dryer before the end of the
drying cycle unless all items are quickly removed and
spread out so that the heat is dissipated.
Saving energy and respecting the environment
Wring out items to eliminate excess water before
●
tumble drying (if you use a washing machine first,
select a high spin cycle). Doing this will save time
and energy during drying.
Always dry full loads - you save energy: single
●
items or small loads take longer to dry.
Clean the filter after each use to contain energy
●
consumption costs (see Maintenance).
