Installation
• Any electrical work required to install this
appliance should be carried out by a qualified
electrician or competent person.
• Care must be taken to ensure that the appliance
does not stand on the electrical supply cable.
• If the machine is situated on a carpeted floor, please
adjust the feet in order to allow air to circulate freely.

• This appliance is designed for domestic use only.

• Clothes which are dripping wet should not be

•
Danger of explosion
: Never tumble dry items that
have been in contact with inflammable solvents (petrol,
methylated spirits, dry cleaning fluid and the like). As
these substances are volatile, they could cause an
explosion. Tumble dry only items washed with water.
• Please make sure that no gas lighters have
accidentally been left in pockets of garments to be
loaded into appliance.
• Do not dry canvas shoes or sports shoes, as they
could get stuck between the door and the drum,
thus blocking this latter.
• Risk of fire: items that have been spotted or soaked
with vegetable or cooking oil constitute a fire hazard
and should not be placed in the tumble dryer.
• If you have washed your laundry with stain
remover you must execute an extra rinse cycle
before loading your tumble dryer.
• Leave the door slightly ajar when the appliance is not
being used. This will allow the seal to be preserved.
• Clean fluff filters after using the tumble dryer. To
prevent fire risks,
do not use the appliance if the
fluff filters are damaged or without filters.
• Do not allow fluff to accumulate around the dryer.

the drum.
• When the appliance is to be scrapped, cut off the
electrical supply cable and destroy the plug with the
