- Never use flammable sprays or substances in the immediate proximity of the appliance.

INSTALLATION

• Place the appliance on a solid (concrete) base that is level and stable.
• Adjust the adjustable feet of the appliance to ensure the appliance is standing level and balanced.
• After installation, let the dryer rest still for 24 hours before using it. Failure to do so may result in a heat pump failure which shall not be covered by the warranty.
• If the dryer has to be laid down on one of its sides during transport or servicing, place it on its left side downwards as seen from the appliance front.
• Before connecting the appliance to the power mains, wait at least 2 hours to allow it to reach room temperature.
• Dispose the packaging materials according to local regulations. Keep the material out of reach of children. Danger of suffocation.

ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION

• Connect the appliance to an earthed power socket protected by a fuse that complies with the values on the rating plate.
  • Particularly make sure that the appliance is not placed on the power cord.

To avoid danger, a damaged power cord may only be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent or similarly qualified persons.

If the appliance is damaged, it must not be operated until it is repaired by the manufacturer, service agent or similarly qualified persons.

- The appliance may not be connected to the power mains using an extension cord.

Do not connect the appliance to the power mains using an external switch device such as a programme timer, or connect it to a power mains that is regularly switched on and off by the power supply provider.

- Do not connect the appliance to an electrical outlet intended for an electric shaver or hair dryer.

- The mains plug must be accessible after installation.

Never use an extension cord or multiple plugs for making a connection.

Do not pull the plug out of the power socket if there is flammable gas around.

Never pull out the plug with wet hands.

Always unplug the appliance when it is not being used.

• Connection to the power supply has to be executed by an adequately trained technician or expert.
• Any repair and maintenance pertaining to safety or performance should be done by trained experts.
• In case of a defect, only use approved spare parts by authorised manufacturers.
• In case of incorrect appliance connection, incorrect use, or servicing by an unauthorised person, Inventum will not be responsible for any damage, as such damage will not be covered by warranty.

EXPLOSION AND FIRE HAZARD

• Please do not dry clothes with any flammable substances such as kerosene or alcohol. Otherwise, there may be an explosion.
• The appliance contains an environmentally friendly but flammable R290 refrigerant. Keep away from open flame and other sources of ignition.
• 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.

• 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.
• Remove all objects from pockets such as lighters and matches.
• If it is unavoidable that fabrics containing vegetable or cooking oil or having been contaminated by hair care products are placed in a tumble dryer, these items should first be washed in hot water with extra detergent. This will reduce, but not eliminate, the hazard.
• 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.
• Openings must not be obstructed.
• The dryer filter has to be cleaned frequently.
• Lint must not to be allowed to accumulate around the tumble dryer.

• The dryer uses a heat pump system to heat the air.
  The system consists of a compressor and a heat exchanger. When the dryer is started, compressor operation (the sound of flowing liquid) or flow of refrigerant may be louder as long as the compressor operates. This is not a sign of malfunction and it will not affect useful life of the dryer. In time and with use of the dryer this noise will become quieter.

- Only use products specifically designed for drying laundry. Inventum will not be responsible for any damages or discolouration of gaskets and plastic parts resulting from incorrect use of bleaching or colouring agents.

1. Customers enjoy a 5-year full manufacturer's warranty on all Inventum products.
2. Within this period, a defective product or part, which makes normal functioning of the product or part impossible, will always be repaired free of charge or, if repair is not possible and/or does not provide a solution, replaced (by the same or equivalent product). The assessment of this lies with Inventum.
3. In order to make a claim under the 5-year Inventum warranty you must, within two months after discovering the fault or defect, either return the product to the shop where you bought it, or contact the Inventum customer service department by using the form at www.inventum.eu/service.
4. The warranty period starts from the date stated on the product's original sales receipt.
5. To invoke the warranty, you must always send a copy of the original proof of purchase with the service request and present the original proof of purchase to the service technician.
6. The 5-year warranty applies only to normal domestic use of Inventum products within the Netherlands.

Warranty exclusions

1. The 5-year Inventum guarantee does not apply in case of: normal wear and tear, consumables, improper use, insufficient or incorrect maintenance, incorrect and/or inexpert assembly and installation of the appliance, repairs by unauthorised third parties, business or commercial use, missing serial number, damage caused by an external cause. This enumeration is not exhaustive.
2. B-choice products and products that have been built-in in a showroom are not covered by the 5-year Inventum warranty. All optical damage such as dents, scratches and slight traces of use are excluded from any warranty.

2. A copy of the original proof of purchase must be included with the request.
3. Inventum's service department determines whether the product will be repaired or replaced, based on the request and the sales receipt.

Important to know
