General Safety Instructions

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

READ CAREFULLY AND KEEP FOR FUTURE REFERENCE

Read this manual thoroughly before first use, the safety precautions enclosed herein reduce the risk of fire, electric shock and injury when correctly adhered to. Keep the manual in a safe place for future reference, along with the completed warranty card and purchase receipt. If applicable, pass these instructions on to the next owner.

Always follow basic safety precautions and accident prevention measures when using an electrical appliance, including the following:

Electrical safety and cord handling

• Voltage: Make sure your outlet voltage and circuit frequency correspond to the voltage indicated on the appliance rating label and your outlet socket is properly earthed. If this is not the case, do not use the dryer.
• Separate circuit: We strongly recommend you connect the appliance to a separate circuit serving only this appliance. This provides the best performance and prevents overloading the house wiring circuits that could cause a fire hazard from overheating.
• Electrical hazard: Do not insert any objects into the appliance.
• No extension cord: Do not use this appliance with a power adaptor or extension cord. CAUTION: If such a device must be used, the cord or outlet device must be positioned so that it is not subject to splashing or ingress of moisture.
• Protect the power cord. Do not kink or damage the power cord. Position the cord out of the way so no one steps on or places anything on the cord or against it. Do not run the cord under floor coverings. Arrange the cord away from traffic areas where it will not become a trip hazard.
• Damage: Do not operate the appliance after it malfunctions or has been dropped or damaged. In case of damage, contact the after sales support line for advice.
• Damaged cord: If the power supply cord is damaged, do not attempt to change it yourself. A damaged cord or plug must be replaced by the manufacturer or a qualified person in order to avoid a hazard.
• Disconnect: Unplug the clothes dryer from the power supply after use, before cleaning, servicing or moving the appliance. To disconnect, turn the appliance off, switch off the power outlet and remove the plug from the power outlet. Grip the plug when disconnecting; do not pull on the cord. After disconnection, wait at least 2 minutes before turning the appliance back on again.
• RCD: Unless your home is already fitted with a residual current device (safety switch), we recommend installing an RCD with a rated residual operating current not exceeding 30mA to provide additional safety protection when using electrical appliances. See your electrician for professional advice.

Usage conditions and restrictions

- Domestic use only: This appliance is intended for indoor household use only. Do not use it outdoors. Do not use it for anything other than its intended purpose (drying domestic quantities of washing), and only use it as described in this manual.

General Safety Instructions (Cont.)

• Usage restriction: The appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.
• Children: Supervise young children to ensure they do not play with the dryer. Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children.
• Installation requirements: Do not install the appliance in a tight fitting cabinet. Do not install it near heat sources such as radiators, heaters, air ducts or direct sunlight. If the clothes dryer is not wall-mounted, place it on a flat, firm, dry and stable floor in a well ventilated area. Use the adjustable legs to assist in levelling the dryer if required. Do not place it on any soft material such as foam or plastic.
• Ventilation: Do not block any ventilation openings. Ensure that vents are not covered by newspapers, tablecloths, curtains, carpet, etc.
• Before use: Make sure to remove transport packaging at the rear of the dryer. WARNING: Before loading the dryer, always ensure no pet or young child has climbed into it. Do not overload the clothes dryer.
• Suitability for tumble drying: Only load suitable items into the clothes dryer. See the box on the opposite page for which items and materials are unsuitable for the clothes dryer and may present a fire risk.
• Preparation: Make sure all pockets of clothing to be dried are empty. Hard, sharp objects such as coins, safety pins, bra wires, nails, screws, lighters or matches must be removed as they can cause extensive damage to the dryer.
  WARNING: Any damage or malfunction resulting from foreign objects is not covered by your warranty and may lead to expensive repairs.
• No open flames: Do not place open flame sources such as candles on the dryer.
• Hot surface: The door window may be hot after a long drying cycle. Always ensure children are kept away from the machine.
• Cool down: The final part of a clothes dryer cycle occurs without heat (cool down cycle) to ensure that the items are left at a temperature that will not damage them. Never stop the clothes dryer before the end of the drying cycle unless all items are removed quickly and spread out so the heat is dissipated.
• Subsequent cycles: After turning off the power supply to the clothes dryer, wait at least two minutes before turning it back on again.
• Repair: Except for the filters that require cleaning, this appliance contains no user-serviceable parts inside. Do not attempt to open, disassemble or repair it yourself; only have it serviced by qualified personnel, call the after sales support line.
• Liability: Improper use or installation may result in the risk of fire, electric shock and/or injury. We assume no liability for any eventual damages caused by improper use or handling, or by any other noncompliance with the instructions in this manual.

General Safety Instructions (Cont.)

CAUTION!

The items listed below are UNSUITABLE for clothes drying. They can cause fire in the clothes dryer or extensive damage. DO NOT place the following items into the clothes dryer.

☒ Items containing foam rubber (also known as latex foam) or similarly textured rubber-like materials — when heated, these materials can spontaneously combust and cause a fire.
☒ Items that have been spotted or soaked with cooking oil, or with highly flammable substances — these substances constitute a fire hazard. Highly flammable substances used in domestic environments include acetone, alcohol, petrol, kerosene, some stain removers, dry-cleaning solvents, turpentine, waxes, wax removers and some hair care products. (This also includes items that have previously been cleaned or spotted with dry-cleaning solvents or other flammable or explosive substances.)

Washing these items thoroughly beforehand in hot water with an extra amount of detergent will reduce, but not necessarily eliminate the hazard. The ‘cool down’ cycle of a clothes dryer should be used to reduce the temperature of the items. They should not be removed from the clothes dryer or piled or stacked while hot.

☒ Undergarments that contain metal reinforcements (such as underwire bras), which can come loose during drying and damage the clothes dryer.
☒ Plastic articles such as shower caps or waterproof baby bibs.
Rubber-backed articles, clothes fitted with foam rubber pads, pillows, galoshes and rubber coated tennis shoes.
☑ Fabric softeners or similar products, unless they are specifically recommended by the product manufacturer for use in a clothes dryer to eliminate the effects of static electricity.

CAUTION!

• Do not use the tumble dryer if industrial chemicals have been used for cleaning.
• Do not dry unwashed items in the tumble dryer.
• Do not allow lint to accumulate around the tumble dryer. Clean the filter after every use.
• Adequate ventilation has to be provided to avoid the backflow of gases into the room from appliances burning other fuels, including open fires.

WARNING: Risk of fire

This symbol alerts you to take care as oil-affected items can ignite spontaneously, especially when exposed to heat, such as in a clothes 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.

Getting Started: Installation

Unpacking

• This product has been packaged to protect it against transportation damage. When unpacking keep all packaging until you have made sure your new clothes dryer is undamaged and in good working order. The carton is recyclable. Whenever possible, reuse the carton and recycle it when disposing of the packaging materials.
• Plastic wrapping can be a suffocation hazard for babies and young children, so ensure all packaging materials are out of their reach. Dispose of packaging safely.
• Make sure to remove the transport packaging at the rear of the clothes dryer.
• Inspect the cord and plug for damage or wear before each use. Do not use the appliance if the appliance or its cord have been damaged or are not working properly. In case of damage, contact our after sales support line.
• Read all instructions in this manual and make sure you understand all warnings.
• Wipe the inside of the drum with a damp cloth to remove any dust from transport.

Important notes regarding installation

CAUTION: This appliance is heavy. Use two or more people to move and install it.

• This clothes dryer can be installed on the floor level (as supplied), or wall-mounted upside down with the control panel at the bottom. Detailed instructions for each option are provided on the following pages.
• The appliance must not be installed behind a lockable door, sliding door or a door with a hinge on the opposite side of the clothes dryer, in such a way that a full opening of the tumble dryer door is restricted.
• Do not install the appliance in a tight fitting cabinet.
• Make sure that all electrical connections are made by qualified personnel and all instructions in this manual as well as local safety regulations are observed.
• Place the dryer in a dry, well ventilated area, away from heat and direct sunlight.
• Exhaust air must not be discharged into a flue which is used for exhausting fumes from appliances burning gas or other fuels.

Floor level installation

- If the dryer is installed on the floor, make sure to place it on a firm, flat, dry and stable floor, close to an appropriate wall outlet. Do not place it on soft material such as foam, plastic or carpet, as this will block the air intake.

- The dryer comes with four legs installed to ensure stability. (If you are wall-mounting the dyer upside down, you will need to remove the legs from the bottom panel. To avoid damaging the floor, lay the dryer on a large piece of cardboard (from the dryer carton) and remove the legs as illustrated (Fig. 1). See page 11 for details.)

- See points 3 and 4 on page 13 for installation of the exhaust connector.

- Stand the dryer on its feet and slide it into position, leaving a space of at least 10cm between the dryer and any wall. All four legs are adjustable; just turn them to assist in levelling the dryer, if necessary. When the dryer is level, tighten the legs.

Getting Started: Installation (Cont.)

Upside down installation

The dryer can be installed upside down, if this suits your setup better. To prepare the unit for upside down installation, proceed as follows:

1. Place the dryer upside down on a firm horizontal surface, such as on a table or benchtop (Fig. 2).*

2. Take the additional printed control panel from the wall-mounting kit and place it over the existing panel (Fig. 3).

3. Remove the four legs from the dryer (Fig. 3).

4. The dryer is now ready for upside down installation (Fig. 4).

Instructions

CAUTION!

Make sure you read all safety precautions in this manual and are aware of the items (listed on page 7) that cause a hazard if placed in the clothes dryer.

Loading the dryer

- Prior to loading the dryer, check that none of your items have the following symbols anywhere on them. These symbols indicate that items are UNSUITABLE for clothes drying.

Dry flat

Drip dry

Illustration of a washing machine with open door and close lid, alongside a hand holding a folded shirt (no text or symbols)

• Make sure that the items to be dried do not have combustible materials or foreign objects (such as lighters, hair pins, coins) inside pockets.
• Clean the lint filter before each use (see page 19) and make sure it is properly in place.
• To avoid items getting tangled up in the dryer, which results in uneven drying, we recommend placing items into the dryer one at a time.
• Turn items with zippers inside out and fasten buckles. This will also help reduce impact noise when the items hit against the turning drum.
• As the dryer heat may permanently set stains, ensure you check prior to drying.
• Separate dark and light coloured items as you would do when washing.
• For best results, load the dryer with similar fabrics that take a similar period of time for drying (see page 17 for suggested drying times).
• Place small, delicate items in a mesh bag; do not put too many items into one

bag. (It is not recommended to dry underwire bras in a clothes dryer.)

- When drying large items such as a blanket or sheets, open the dryer door and shake out the item from time to time, then place the item back in the dryer and close the door. This will ensure even drying.

- CAUTION: Do not overload the dryer: the maximum amount of dry textile material that can be dried in one load is 6.5kg.

- The clothes dryer is intended only for drying textile material washed in water.

- When closing the dryer door prior to starting the unit, ensure that items are not jammed in the door.

- Do not add items into the dryer while it is operating.
