SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS AND WARNINGS
PREPARING FOR DRYING
Before drying the washing,
spin it at the recommended
rpm for the type of load.
Spinning at maximum rpm will
result in up to a 35% saving in
energy. The higher the spin
speed, the better the drying re-
sult.
Before drying the washing in
the drier, check the items to
make sure they can be ma-
chine dried.
Refer to the clothing care sym-
bols on the labels.
If the label has no drying sym-
bol, proceed as follows:
■
white/coloured washing
and crease-proof wash-
ing can be dried at nor-
mal temperature using
the appropriate drying
program.
■
delicate washing, acrylics
for example, must be
dried at low temperature.
General advice:
Jersey often shrinks, not only
in the wash but also during
drying.
Pure linen.
■
Only dry if indicated by
the manufacturer on the
label.
Otherwise, the fabric
could roughen.
■
Do not dry dark coloured
washing together with
light coloured washing in
order to prevent
discolouring.
Read these operating in-
structions carefully before
using the drier.
This will ensure your safety
and prevent damage to the
drier.
Repairs to our driers can
only be carried out by au-
thorised personnel.
Repairs carried out by oth-
ers or by the user may nul-
lify the guarantee.
There is no electricity sup-
ply to the drier only if the
plug has been removed
from the mains socket or if
the main domestic supply
switch has been switched
off.
Children must be kept away
from the drier when it is in
operation.
Always close the door after
using the drier.
This will prevent children
from leaning on the door
and possibly overturning
the drier.
WARNING:
■
if the washing contains
parts in rubber or foam
rubber;
■
if the washing has been
treated with flammable
detergent (stain remov-
ing fluid for example);
■
if the washing has been
in contact with hair
spray or nail varnish
solvent or similar prod-
ucts; then there is a
risk of fire!
Store these operating
instructions in a safe
place.
Sort the washing into fabric types.
ADVICE:
■
delicate fabrics (silk for ex-
ample) that require dry
cleaning or hand washing
cannot be dried too often in
the drier (see fabric label).
■
woollen items must have the
“pure new wool” mark with
the writing “will not fray”,
“superwash”, “will not shrink”
or similar. Woollen items with
the “wool” mark only should
not be dried in the drier.
■
fabrics containing rubber or
foam rubber elements cannot
be dried in the drier.
■
fabrics that have been treated
with a stain removing fluid or
poisonous or narcotic type
products cannot be dried in the
drier in that there is a risk of
spontaneous combustion.
In some countries, the clothing
items have wash labels with ma-
chine dry symbols.
In Holland, for example, this is still
not compulsory and not all items
of clothing have these symbols.
Nevertheless, the labels in ques-
tion bear the following informa-
tion:
■
MACHINE DRY
■
NORMAL FABRIC
■
HEAT SENSITIVE FABRIC
■
DO NOT MACHINE DRY
