Maintenance
• Securely plug the power plug in the socket outlet after completely removing any
moisture and dust.
• Disconnect the power cord before cleaning the appliance. Turning the unit off
into stand by mode from the front panel will not isolate the mains supply from the
appliance.
• Never unplug the appliance by pulling on the power cable. Always grip the power
plug firmly and pull straight out from the socket outlet.
• Do not spray the water inside or outside the appliance to clean it.
Technical Safety for Using the Dryer
• Do not dry unwashed items in the appliance.
• Items that have been soiled with substances such as cooking oil, vegetable oil,
acetone, alcohol, petroleum, kerosene, spot removers, turpentine, waxes and wax
removers should be washed in hot water with an extra amount of detergent before
being dried in the appliance.
• Fabric softeners, or similar products, should be used as specified by the fabric
softener instructions.
• Remove all objects from pockets such as lighters and matches.
• Never stop this appliance before the end of the drying cycle unless all items are
quickly removed and spread out so that the heat is dissipated.
• This appliance is not to be used if industrial chemicals have been used for
cleaning.
• 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 this appliance.
• 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 create heat. If the heat cannot escape, the items can
become hot enough to catch fire. Piling, stacking or storing oilaffected items can
prevent heat from escaping and so 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.
