1.1.2 Product safety

DANGER!

• Superheating of the clothes inside the dryer can occur if you cancel the programme or in the event of a power failure whilst the dryer is running. This concentration of heat can cause self-combustion and fire, so always activate the ventilation programme to cool down or quickly remove all laundry from the dryer in order to hang them up and dissipate the heat.

DANGER!

Points to be taken into consideration for fire hazard:

The following laundry or items must not be dried in the dryer due to fire hazard.

• Unwashed laundry items
• Items soiled with oil, acetone, alcohol, fuel oil, kerosene, stain removers, turpentine, paraffin, or paraffin removers must be washed in hot water with plenty of detergent before being dried in the dryer.

For this reason, especially items containing the above specified stains must be washed very well. To do this, use adequate detergent and choose a high washing temperature.

The following laundry or items must not be dried in the dryer due to fire hazard:

- Garments or pillows bolstered with rubber foam (latex foam), shower bonnets, water-resistant textiles, materials with rubber reinforcement, and rubber foam pads.

Clothing cleaned with industrial chemicals.

Items such as lighters, matches, coins, metal parts, needles, etc. may damage the drum set or may lead to functional problems. Therefore, check all the laundry that you will load into your dryer.

Never stop your dryer before the programme completes. If you must do this, remove all laundry quickly and lay them out to dissipate the heat.

DANGER!

• Clothes that are washed inadequately may ignite on their own and even may ignite after drying ends. - You must provide enough ventilation in order to prevent gases exiting from devices operating with other types of fuels, including the naked flame, from accumulating in the room due to the backfire effect.

WARNING!

• Underwear that contains metal reinforcements should not be dried in the dryer. The dryer may be damaged if metal reinforcements come loose and break off during drying.

NOTE

- Use softeners and similar products in accordance with the instructions of their manufacturers.

Always clean the lint filter before or after each loading. Never operate the dryer without the lint filter installed.

• Remove the second part (outer filter) by pulling it upwards.

NOTE

• Ensure that hair, fibre and cotton balls do not fall into the slot where the filters are installed.
• Open both fibre filters (inner and outer filters) and remove the hair, fibre, cotton balls with your damp hand, a vacuum cleaner, or a cloth.

- Clean both filters under running water in the reverse direction of fibre accumulation or with a soft brush. Dry the filter before placing it back.

- Insert the fibre filters one on top of the other and place them back in their place.

- Clean the loading door interior and its washer with a soft damp cloth.

6.2 Cleaning the sensor

There are dampness sensors in the dryer that detect whether the laundry is dry or not. To clean the sensors:

• Open the loading door of the dryer.
• Allow the machine to cool down if it is still hot due to the drying process.
• Wipe the metal surfaces of the sensor with a soft cloth dampened with vinegar and dry them.

NOTE

- Clean metal surfaces of the sensors 4 times a year.

- Do not use metal tools when cleaning metal surfaces of the sensors.

WARNING!

- Never use solvents, cleaning agents or similar substances for cleaning due to the risk of fire and explosion!

6.3 Draining the water tank

Dampness of the laundry is removed and condensed during drying process and the water that arises accumulates in the water tank. Drain the water tank after each drying cycle.

WARNING!

• Condensed water is not drinkable! - Never remove the water tank when the program is running!

If you forget to drain the water tank, the machine will stop during the subsequent drying cycles when the water tank is full and the Water Tank warning symbol will flash. If this is the case, drain the water tank and press Start / Pause button to resume the drying cycle. To drain the water tank:

1. Remove the water tank in the drawer or container carefully.

1. Drain the water in the tank.

• If there is lint accumulation in the funnel of the water tank, clean it under running water.
• Place the water tank into its seat.

NOTE

- If the direct water draining option is used, there is no need to empty the water tank.

6.4 Cleaning the evaporator

Hair and fibers that are not caught by the fiber filter go to the fins of the evaporator behind the toe board and accumulate there. If the evaporator icon is flashing or every 6 months, clean the evaporator.

- Open the toe board by pressing on it.

- To open the air routing door, move the release latch.

- Clean the fibers on the evaporator with a damp cloth or vacuum cleaner with a brush, moving upwards and downwards.

- After the cleaning process is completed, place the air router door back in its place, move the latches to close it, and close the toe board.

WARNING!

• You can clean by hand, provided you wear protective gloves. Do not try to clean with bare hands. Evaporator fins may damage your hands.
• Cleaning with left-to-right movements may damage the evaporator fins. This may lead to drying issues.
