any maintenance unless specifically recommended in this 

Use and Care Guide. Repairs and servicing should only 

be carried out by competent service personnel.

n

   Do not use fabric softeners or products to eliminate static 

unless recommended by the manufacturer of the fabric 

softener or product. Follow their instructions.

n

   Clean dryer lint screen before or after each load.  

Do not operate dryer without lint screen in place.

n

   Keep area around the exhaust and inlet openings and 

adjacent surrounding areas free from the accumulation  

of lint, dust, and dirt.

n

   Items such as foam rubber (latex foam), shower caps, 

waterproof textiles, rubber backed articles, and clothes  

or pillows fitted with foam rubber pads must only be dried 

on a clothesline.

n

manufacturer or its service agent or a similarly qualified 

person in order to avoid a hazard.

WARNING:

 Never stop a tumble dryer cycle before the 

end of the drying cycle unless all items are quickly removed 

and spread out so that the heat is dissipated.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING: 

To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons when using the dryer, follow basic 

precautions, including the following:

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

n

   Read all instructions before using the dryer.

n

   Keep a minimum clearance of 100 mm (4 in.)  

between the rear of the dryer and any wall.

n

   The operation of this appliance may affect the operation 

of other types of appliances which take their air supply 

for safe combustion from the same room. There has to 

be adequate ventilation to replace exhausted air and 

thus avoid the back-flow of gases into the room from 

appliances burning other fuels, including open fires, 

when operating the tumble dryer. If in doubt, consult  

the appliance manufacturers.

n

   Do not obstruct the air supply to the dryer (see 

Installation Instructions for minimum clearances).

n

   Do not place items exposed to cooking oils in your 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.

n

   If it is unavoidable to dry in the dryer items that have 

been soiled with substances such as cooking oil, 

acetone, alcohol, petrol, kerosene, spot removers, 

turpentine, waxes and wax removers, or that have been 

contaminated by hair care products, they should be 

washed in hot water with an extra amount of detergent 

before being dried in the dryer. These items may give off 

vapours that could ignite or explode. Such washing will 

reduce, but not eliminate, the hazard.

n

   This appliance is not intended for use by persons 

(including children under 8 years of age) with reduced 

physical, sensory, or mental capabilities, or lack of 

experience and knowledge, unless they have been  

given supervision or instructions concerning use of  

the appliance by persons responsible for their safety.

n

   Cleaning and user maintenance by children must  

be supervised.

n

   Children should be supervised to ensure that they  

do not play with the appliance. 

n

   Children less than 3 years of age should be kept away 

from the appliance unless continuously supervised.

n

   The dryer should not be used if industrial chemicals have 

been used for cleaning.
