Safety instructions
Energy saving
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 op-
timal use of energy. To do this, use the
recommended volumes indicated in this
booklet.
• High ambient temperatures and small
rooms increase drying times and electric-
ity consumption.
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.
• 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.
• Don’t touch the back panel of the dryer
while it’s working, as it may be very hot.
