- The power wire shall be met IEC and must be able to withstand the current above 10A. To ensure your and your family's safety, please make improvement immediately if any power use at your home does no the above-mentioned requirements.
- The maximum mass of dry textile material is 8 kilograms to be used in the appliance.
Safety information
- That the tumble dryer is not to be used if industrial chemicals have been used for cleaning.
- Do not dry unwashed items in the tumble dryer.
- Items that have been soiled with substances such as cooking oil, acetone, alcohol, petrol, kerosene, spot removers, turpentine, waxes and wax removers should be washed in hot water with an extra amount of detergent before being dried in the tumble dryer.
- Items such as foam rubber (latex foam), shower caps, waterproof textiles, rubber backed articles and clothes or pillows fitted with foam rubber pads should not be dried in the tumble dryer.
- Fabric softeners, or similar products, should be used as specified by the fabric softener instructions.
- The final part of a tumble dryer cycle occurs without heat (cool down cycle) to ensure that the items are left at a temperature that ensures that the items will not be damaged.
- The lint trap has to be cleaned frequently.
- The lint must not be allowed to accumulate around the tumble dryer.
- Adequate ventilation has to be provided to avoid the back flow of gases into the room from appliance burning other fuels, including open fires.
- WARNING: never stop a tumble dryer before the end of the drying cycle unless all items are quickly removed and spread out so that the heat is dissipated.
- The exhaust air must not be discharged into a flue which is used for exhausting fumes from appliance burning gas or other fuels.

- Keep pets away from this appliance.
- Oil-affected items can ignite spontaneously, especially when exposed to heat sources such as in a tumble dryer. The items become warm, causing an oxidation reaction in the oil. Oxidation creates heat. If the heat cannot escape, the items can become hot enough to catch fire. Piling, stacking or storing oil-affected items can prevent heat from escaping and so create a fire hazard.
- If it is unavoidable that fabrics that contain vegetable or cooking oil or have been contaminated by hair care products be placed in a tumble dryer they should first be washed in hot water with extra detergent-this will reduce, but not eliminate, the hazard.
