Warnings
and suggestions
This appliance was designed and manufactured in
compliance with current international safety standards. The
following information is provided for safety reasons and
must be read carefully.
General safety
• This tumble dryer must not be used by persons (including
children) with physical, sensory or mental impairments or
with little experience and knowledge of the appliance,
unless they are supervised or have been adequately
instructed on its use by the person responsible for their
safety.
• This tumble dryer is designed for domestic and non-
professional use.
• Do not touch the appliance while barefoot or with wet
hands or feet.
• Unplug the appliance by pulling on the plug, not the cord.
• Do not allow children near the appliance while it is in
function. After use, switch the appliance off and unplug it.
Keep the appliance door closed to prevent children using
it as a toy.
• Children must be supervised to ensure that they do not
play with the appliance.
• The appliance must be correctly installed and receive
adequate ventilation. The air intake on the front part of
the dryer and the air vents on the rear must never be
obstructed (see Installation).
• Never use the dryer on carpeting with high pile as this
may prevent air from entering the dryer from the base.
• Check whether the dryer is empty before loading it.
• The rear part of the dryer may become very hot:
do not touch it while the appliance is in function.
• Do not use the dryer unless the filter, water container and
condenser are properly positioned (see Maintenance).
• Do not use liquid fabric softener in the dryer; add it to the
final rinse of the wash cycle.
• Do not overload the dryer (see Laundry for the maximum
load sizes).
• Do not add items that are dripping wet.
• Tumble dry items only if they have been washed with
water and detergent, and have been rinsed and put
through a spin cycle. Drying items that have NOT been
washed with water may cause the risk of fire.
• Always read the instructions on the care label carefully
(see Laundry).
• Do not tumble dry items that have been treated with
chemical products.
• Never tumble dry items that are contaminated with
inflammable substances (cooking oil, acetone, alcohol,
petrol, kerosene, stain removers, turpentine, waxes, wax
removers and hairspray), unless they have been washed
in hot water with an extra amount of detergent.
• Do not tumble dry rubber, rubber-backed articles and
garments, cushions with foam rubber padding, latex
foam, rubber, plastic, shower caps, water-resistant
fabrics, nappy pants or liners, polyethylene and paper.
• Remove all objects from pockets, particularly lighters
(risk of explosion).
• Do not tumble dry large, excessively bulky items.
• Do not tumble dry acrylic fibres at high temperatures.
• Complete each programme with the relative cold drying
phase.
• Do not switch the tumble dryer off if items that are still
warm are inside it.
• Clean the filter after each use (see Care and maintenance).
• Empty the water container and put it back in place after
each use (see Care and maintenance).
• Clean the condenser unit regularly (see Care and maintenance).
• Do not allow lint to build up around the tumble dryer.
• Avoid climbing on the top of the dryer as this may
damage the appliance.
• Always comply with electrical regulations and
requirements (see Installation).
• Always purchase original accessories and spare parts
(see Assistance).
WARNING: Never stop the dryer before the end of the
drying cycle unless all items have been quickly removed and
hung in order to dispel heat.
Information on recycling
and disposal
As part of our continual commitment towards environmental
protection, we reserve the right to use recycled quality
components to reduce costs for our customers and to
minimise materials wastage.
• Disposing of the packaging materials: follow local
regulations to allow for recycling of packaging materials.
• In order to minimise the risk of injury to children, remove
the door and plug, then cut the power supply cord flush
with the appliance. Dispose of these parts separately to
prevent the appliance from being connected to a power
supply socket.
Disposal of old household appliances
European Directive 2002/96/EC concerning Waste
Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) states
that household appliances should not be disposed of
using the normal solid urban waste cycle. Exhausted
appliances should be collected separately in order to
optimise the cost of re-using and recycling materials
comprising the machine, while preventing potential damage
to public health and the environment. The crossed-out
wheeled bin symbol appears on all products to remind
owners of the obligations regarding separate waste
collection.
Owners should contact their local authorities or appliance
dealers for further information concerning the correct
disposal of household appliances.
Saving energy and respecting the
environment
• Wring out items before tumble drying them to remove
the maximum amount of water possible (if they are
previously washed in a washing machine, select a spin
cycle). This ensures that energy is saved during tumble
drying.
• Always use the tumble dryer at full load to save energy:
single items and small loads may take longer to dry.
• Clean the filter at the end of each cycle to reduce energy
consumption costs (see Care and maintenance).
