IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Proper use of the dryer
~
The dryer is only intended for drying fabrics that were
washed with water as a cleaning agent. Check fabric care
labels to verify that the articles can be machine dried.
~
To prevent fire, do not dry the following (with the ex-
ception of the textiles permitted in the special programs):
– Articles containing foam rubber, rubber or rubber-like
materials.
– Articles that have been treated with flammable cleaning
agents.
– Articles that have been contaminated with hair spray,
nail polish remover, etc.
– Articles that may be greasy, oily or that may contain ot-
her residues, e.g. kitchen or salon laundry.
– Mops, floor cloths, etc. if they contain substances such
as wax or chemical cleaning agents.
– Damaged padded or filled fabrics such as jackets or
cushions.
– Articles that are not sufficiently clean and are soiled with
grease or oil. Wash very dirty articles (e.g. work clothing)
with a special detergent. For information in this regard,
consult a cleaning agent retailer.
With sensitive fabrics there may be a danger of them
spontaneously combusting if dried too long. Immediately
remove the laundry at the end of the drying program and
after a power failure.
Keep a fire extinguisher near the dryer.
~
The laundry must not be removed from the dryer until
the cooling down phase has been completed.
If hot laundry items are stacked or packed they could
spontaneously combust.
~
Empty all pockets so that no flammable items such as
lighters, matches, candles and cosmetics end up in the
dryer.
~
If the dryer is operated in a publicly accessible area, the
operator must ensure the safe use of the appliance.
