Safety instructions
Energy savings
Your dryer is designed only for domestic use, for drying machine-dryable
textiles.
• Give your textile a high-speed spin. Their
residual dampness will therefore be low
and you will save on energy. Even synthetic
textiles should be spun before drying.
• Load you machine to the maximum,
providing optimum utilisation of energy.
Please observe the recommendations
regarding volume provided in these
instructions.
• A high ambient temperature and too small
a room will increase the drying time and
your electricity consumption.
You must observe the following
instructions. We accept no
responsibility and negate the guarantee
in the event of failure to observe these
instructions, which may lead to
personal injury or damage to the
equipment.
• Never connect the air extraction hose to
a flue pipe (risk of backflow of combustion
gases) nor to a VMC (controlled
mechanical fan system).
• Only use your machine in accordance with
its method of use: this avoids damage to
the machine and to your laundry. Do not
use solvents in your machine (risk or fire
and/or explosion).
• Precautions when using stain removers:
any pre-treatment with solvents, stain
removers or aerosols is not allowed. These
products are highly inflammable. If your
laundry requires this type of pre-treatment,
this must be done before washing. We
also recommend that you do not use these
products in a poorly ventilated area near
to your dryer and, in general near to any
electrical appliance, in order to avoid any
risk of an explosion.
• Carefully follow the instructions on your
laundry’s maintenance labels.
• If you must open the drum door during
the drying cycle, take care not to touch
the drum immediately since it will be very
hot.
• Depending on your model, regularly check
the extraction hose to prevent your
machine from malfunctioning.
• Should an incident occur and you cannot
resolve it using the remedies we
recommend (see “INCIDENTS THAT MAY
ARISE”), please contact a qualified
professional electrician.
• Do not allow children to play with the
machine and keep domestic pets away
from it.
• Before you dispose of your worn-out
machine, please render it unusable.
Disconnect and cut off the power cable
next to the machine. Render the door lock
inoperable.
• Respect the environment: contact your
dealer or your towns Technical Services
dept. for information on the possibilities
for scrapping your machine when it is worn
out.
• If you wish to change your machine’s
power cable, please contact a qualified
professional electrician
