Correct use

~
To prevent the risk of fire, the follo-
wing textiles must not be dried in this
tumble dryer:
– items which have not been washed.
– items, such as workwear, which have
not been thoroughly cleaned and
which are still soiled with grease, oil
or other deposits (such as cosme-
tics, lotions etc).
If items have not been thoroughly
cleaned there is a danger that these
might ignite when heated, even after
they have been removed from the
dryer at the end of the programme.
– items (e.g. mops and floorheads)
which have been treated with inflam-
mable cleaning agents or contain re-
sidues of acetone, alcohol, benzine,
petrol, stain remover, turpentine,
wax, wax remover or other chemi-
cals.
– items which have been splashed with
hair lacquer, hair spray, nail varnish
remover or similar substances.
When washing such heavily soiled
items ensure that you use sufficient
detergent and select a high tempe-
rature. If in doubt, wash the items
several times.

To prevent the risk of fire, the follo-
wing must not be dried in this tumble
dryer:
– items which have been cleaned
using chemicals (e.g. professional
dry-cleaning agents).
– fabrics which contain a large propor-
tion of rubber, foam rubber or rub-
ber-like materials. For example, pro-
ducts made from latex foam rubber,
shower caps, waterproof textiles,
rubberised articles and items of clot-
hing and pillows with foam rubber fil-
ling.
– damaged items which contain pad-
ding or fillings (e.g. pillows, jackets).
When damaged, the filling can get
out with the risk of igniting in the dry-
er.
~
In many programmes, the heating
phase is followed by a cooling down
phase to ensure that the items are not
too hot to handle when you remove
them (this also avoids the danger of the
laundry self-igniting). The programme is
not finished until the cooling down pha-
se has been completed.
Ensure that you always wait until the
end of the programme before removing
the laundry.
~
Warning: Do not switch the tumble
dryer off before the end of the drying
programme. If this was done and the
laundry was then removed immediately
it could give off a great amount of heat.
~
Fabric conditioner and similar pro-
ducts must be used according to the
instructions on the manufacturer's pa-
ckaging.
