Safety instructions
Energy savings
Your dryer was designed exclusively for domestic use, to dry machine-dryable
fabrics.
• Spin your washing at high speed, which
will reduce residual humidity and energy
consumption too. Synthetic fabrics should
also be spun before drying.
• Load your machine to maximum for optimal
use of energy. To do this, use the
recommended volumes indicated in this
booklet.
• High ambient temperatures and small
rooms increase drying times and electricity
consumption.
• If you have a condenser dryer, make sure
the ventilation grid on the front is free
from all obstacles and kept clean.
The following instructions must be strictly
complied with. We decline all responsibility
and will terminate any guarantee if these
recommendations are ignored, which may
cause damage to persons or property.
• Never connect the air discharge hose
to a chimney (danger of backflow of
combustion gas) or to a controlled
mechanical ventilation system (if your
machine is of the air-expulsion type).
• Use your machine as indicated in this
manual; this will avoid damage to persons
and washing. Don’t use solvents inside the
dryer (danger of fire and explosion)
• Stain removal products. All preliminary
treatment with solvents, stain removers
and aerosols is strictly forbidden as they
are highly inflammable products. If items
require such treatment, it should be carried
out before washing. We also advise you
not to use such products near your dryer
or other electrical appliances in general
in poorly ventilated areas, in order to avoid
the risk of explosion.
• Scrupulously follow the drying instructions
on the labels on your washing.
• If you have to open the door of the drum
during a drying cycle, be careful not to
touch the drum immediately, as it will be
very hot.
• Check the discharge hose at regular intervals
(depending on the model). This will avoid
functional anomalies.
• In the case of anomalies that you can’t
eliminate by following the instructions in
section “What to do if..”, contact a qualified
professional.
• Don’t allow children to play with the
machine and keep pets away from it.
• Before disposing of your dryer render it
unusable. Disconnect and cut the power
cable at its entry to the machine. Put the
door handle out of use.
• Think of the environment. Ask your dealer
or local authorities about procedures for
scrapping used dryers.
• If you want to change the power cable,
contact a qualified professional.
• If the power cable is damaged, it must be
replaced by a cable or a special kit available
from the manufacturer or technical service
centre.
• Don’t touch the back panel of the dryer
while it’s working, as it may be very hot.
