WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons when using the dryer,
follow basic precautions, including the following:
Read all instructions before using the dryer.
■
This dryer is intended only for drying clothes
■
and textiles that have been washed in water.
Do not use for any other purpose.
WARNING: If you smell gas, do not use the
■
dryer or any electrical equipment nearby.
Warn other people to clear the area. Contact
the dryer owner immediately.
If it is unavoidable that fabrics that contain
■
vegetable or cooking oil or that 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.
Do not dry articles that have been previously
■
cleaned in, washed in, soaked in, or spotted
with gas, dry-cleaning solvents, other
flammable, or explosive substances as they
give off vapors that could ignite or explode.
Items that have been soiled with substances
■
such as cooking oil, acetone, alcohol, gas,
kerosene, spot removers, turpentine, waxes,
and wax removers should be washed in hot
water with extra detergent before being dried
in the dryer.
Do not dry unwashed items in the dryer.
■
Do not use this dryer if industrial chemicals
■
have been used for cleaning. The possible
presence of residual quantities of aggressive
or decomposed chemicals in the load may
produce damage to the dryer and harmful
fumes.
Do not allow children to play on, in, or with
■
the dryer. Close supervision of children
is necessary when the dryer is used near
children.
This dryer is not intended for use by persons
■
(including children aged from 8 years and
above) with reduced physical, sensory, or
mental capabilities, or lack of experience
or knowledge, unless they have been given
supervision or instruction concerning use of
the dryer by a person responsible for their
safety.
Before the dryer is removed from service
■
or discarded, remove the door to the dryer
compartment.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
The appliance must be disconnected from
■
it's power source during service and when
replacing parts.
If drum rotation is blocked due to trapped
■
textiles, disconnect the dryer from the
electrical supply before gently removing
the blockage.
If the dryer is not heating, or appears to
■
be defective or damaged, do not use it.
Contact the owner.
Do not install or store the dryer where it will
■
be exposed to the weather.
Do not tamper with controls.
■
Clean dryer lint screen before or after each
■
load.
Do not use this dryer without the lint screen
■
in place.
Do not repair or replace any part of
■
the dryer or attempt any servicing
unless specifically recommended in
this Installation Instructions that you
understand and have the skills to carry out.
Fabric softeners, or similar products,
■
should be used as specified by the fabric
softener instructions.
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.
The final part of a tumble dryer cycle
■
occurs without heat (cool-down cycle)
to ensure that the articles are left at a
temperature that ensures that the items will
not be damaged.
WARNING: 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. (Avoids risk
of spontaneous combustion).
In case of electrical supply failure, remove
■
the load quickly and spread it out to avoid
risk of spontaneous combustion.
Keep area around the exhaust opening and
■
adjacent surrounding areas free from the
accumulation of lint, dust, and dirt.
The fresh air ventilation openings into
■
the room and into the dryer must not be
blocked or sealed.
