1.Important safety instructions

Warning - To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or personal
injuries, the following basic precautions should be followed:
1 Read all instructions before using this dryer.
2 The interior of the dryer
amount of lint build up in
fire hazard.
3 The appliance must not be installed 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 is restricted.
4 Attention - rear panel can be hot.
5 The tumble dryer should not be used if industrial chemicals have been used to clean the dryer.
6 The dryer must only be used for its intended purpose.
7 Clean lint screen before or after each load.
8 This appliance is not intended for use by people (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. Young children
should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
9 Do not operate the dryer if any parts are missing or broken.
10 To avoid fire hazard or electrical shock do not use an adaptor plug or extension cord or remove grounding
prong from electrical power cord. Failure to follow this warning can cause serious injury, fire or death.
11 To avoid fire hazard or electrical shock do not reach into the drum while the drum is moving. Wait until the
dryer has stopped completely before reaching into the drum.
12 Do not attempt to modify or repair the controls.
13 The final part of a tumble dryer cycle occurs without heat (cool down cycle) to cool items to a temperature
that ensures that they will not be damaged. 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.
14 Do not dry items that have been previously cleaned in, washed in, soaked in, or spotted with substances
such as cooking oil, acetone, alcohol, petrol, kerosene, spot removers, turpentine, waxes and wax
removers, etc. Do not store or use these items on or in the vicinity of the dryer. Do not place items
exposed to cooking oils in your dryer. Items contaminated with cooking oils may contribute to a chemical
reaction that could cause a load to catch fire. 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
create a fire hazard. If it is unavoidable that fabrics that contain vegetable or cooking oil or have been
contaminated by hair care products be placed in a tumble dryer they should first be washed in hot water
with extra detergent - this will reduce, but not eliminate, the hazard.
15 Do not dry unwashed items in the tumble dryer.
16 Fabric softeners, or similar products, should be used as specified by the fabric softener instructions.
17 To To prevent fire, do not use heat to dry items containing plastic, foam rubber or similarly textured
rubber-like materials, or items containing feathers or down. 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.
