IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Correct use

~
Do not let anyone sit or lean on the
doors, as this can cause the dryer to
tip. Danger of injury.
~
Always close the door after loading
or unloading the dryer, to prevent:
– children from climbing into the dryer,
or hiding small items in the dryer.
– small animals from climbing into the
dryer.
~
Empty all pockets so that no
flammable items such as lighters,
matches, candles and cosmetics end
up in the dryer.
~
Always make sure the drum is
stationary before reaching in to remove
laundry. Never put your hand into a
drum that is still moving.
~
Take care not to pinch or cut your
fingers on the hinges of the drum door
or lint flap. Use the handles.
~
The area necessary to open the
drum door completely must not be
obstructed by doors or other structures.
~
Do not use a power washer to clean
the dryer.
~
Keep the area around the exhaust
opening (toekick) and adjacent
surrounding areas free of lint, dust and
dirt.
~
Operate the dryer only if an exhaust
air duct is connected and the room is
adequately ventilated.
6
~
The ducting must not be connected
to
– a chimney or vent flue which is in
use,
– or to ducting which ventilates rooms
with fireplaces,
– or to chimneys being used by other
appliances.
Smoke or exhaust fumes can cause
poisoning.
~
Check all parts of the extraction
system on a regular basis (e.g. wall
vent, external grille, bends in the
ducting etc.) and make sure they are all
free of any hindrance. A build-up of lint
will prevent a free flow of air through the
system. If the appliance is to be
connected to an existing ducting
system, this must be checked for
suitability beforehand.
~
Do not operate the dryer in a room
where cleaning machines operate with
solvents containing CFC. Vapors from
combustion turn into hydrochloric acid
which damages laundry and dryer.
When operated in a separate room,
there must be no air exchange
possible. Make sure the dryer is
supplied with clean fresh air only.
