SAFETY WARNINGS

For your continued safety and to reduce the risk of injury or electric shock, please follow all the safety precautions listed below.

• Read all instructions carefully before using the appliance and keep them for future reference.
• Retain the manual. If you pass the unit onto a third party, make sure to include the manual.
• This appliance can be used by children aged from 8 years and above and persons with reduced physical sensory or mental capabilities or lack of experience and knowledge if they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance in a safe way and understand the hazards involved. Children shall not play with the appliance. Cleaning and user maintenance shall not be made by children without supervision.

- Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.

- Children of less than 3 years should be kept away unless continuously supervised.

- The unit must be maneuvered by a minimum of 2 people.

- Do not use if the power cord is damaged.

- Never touch the power cord/plug with wet hands. This may cause a short circuit or electric shock.

- If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent or a similarly qualified person.

- Do not store explosive substances such as aerosol cans with a flammable propellant in this appliance.

- Do not use extension cords or ungrounded adapters.

- The tumble dryer is not to be used if industrial chemicals have been used for cleaning.

- When positioning the appliance, ensure the supply cord is not trapped or damaged.

- Use a dedicated power socket. The power socket shall not be shared with other electrical appliances.

- Ensure the socket is suitably earthed. If in any doubt a suitable socket must be installed by a qualified electrician.

- When unplugging the appliance firmly grasp the plug and pull out

from the socket. Do not pull the power cord.

- This appliance is intended to be used in household and similar applications and is not designed for use within a commercial environment.

- The lint trap has to be cleaned frequently.

- Lint must not to be allowed to accumulate around the tumble dryer.

- Do not dry unwashed items in the tumble dryer.

- Items that have been soiled with substance such as cooking oil, acetone, alcohol, petrol, kerosene, spot removers, turpentine, waxes and wax removers should be washed in hot water with extra detergent before being dried in the tumble dryer.

- Items such as foam rubber (latex form), 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.

- 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.

- Diagrams within the manual are for illustrative purposes only, due to continual product improvement the product may vary from the illustrations. The exhaust air must not be discharged into a flue which is used for exhausting fumes from appliance burning gas or other fuels.

- The appliance must not be install behind a lockable door, a sliding door or a door with a hinge on the opposite side, to that of the tumble dryer. In such a way that a full opening of the tumble dryer door is restricted.

- 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.

• The appliance should not be overturned during normal use or maintenance.
• Remove all objects from pockets such as lighters and matches.
• For appliances with ventilation openings in the base, that a carpet must not obstruct the openings.
• The plug must be accessible after installation.
• Warning: The appliance must not be supplied through an external switching device, such as a timer, or connected to a circuit that is regularly switched on and off by a utility.
• Remove all packaging before using the appliance. Otherwise serious damage may result.

PRECAUTIONS

Install or store where it will not be exposed to temperatures below freezing or exposed to water or weather, which could cause permanent damage and invalidate the warranty.

Thoroughly spin the laundry in washing machine. High spin speed can reduce the drying time and save energy consumption.

Keep area around the exhaust opening and adjacent surrounding areas free from the accumulation of lint, dust and dirt. An obstructed port might reduce the airflow.
