Safety Precautions - Electrolux TE1220E Installation Manual

1 Safety Precautions

• Servicing shall be carried out only by authorized personnel.
• Only authorized spare parts, accessories and consumables shall be used.
• The machine is not to be used if industrial chemicals have been used for cleaning.
• Do not dry unwashed items in the machine.
• Items that have been soiled with substances such as cooking oil, acetone, alcohol, pet-
rol, 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 machine.
• 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 machine.
• Fabric softeners or similar products should be used as specified by the fabric softener
instructions.
• The final part of a drying cycle occurs without heat (cool down cycle) to ensure that the
items are left at a temperature that ensures that the items will not be damaged.
• Remove all objects from pockets such as lighters and matches.
• WARNING. Never stop the machine before the end of the drying cycle unless all items
are quickly removed and spread out so that the heat is dissipated.
• Adequate ventilation has to be provided to avoid the back flow of gases into the room
for appliances burning other fuels, including open fires.
• Exhaust air must not be discharged into a flue which is used for exhausting fumes from
appliances burning gas or other fuels.
• The machine must not be installed behind a lockable door, a sliding door or a door with
a hinge on the opposite side to that of the machine in such a way that a full opening of
the machine is restricted.
• If the machine has a lint trap this has to be cleaned frequently.
• The lint must not be accumulated around the machine.
• DO NOT MODIFY THIS APPLIANCE.
• When performing service or replacing parts, the power must be disconnected.
• When the power is disconnected, the operator must see that the machine is discon-
nected (that the plug is removed and remains removed) from any point to which he has
access. If this is not possible, due to the construction or installation of the machine, a
disconnection with a locking system in the isolated position shall be provided.
• In accordance with the wiring rules: mount a multi-pole switch prior to the machine to
facilitate installation and service operations.
• WARNING: The appliance must not be supplied through an external switching device,
such as a timer, or connected to a circuit that is regularly switched on and off by a utility.
• If different rated voltages or different rated frequencies (separated by a /) are stated at
the machine data plate, instructions for adjusting the appliance for operation at the re-
quired rated voltage or rated frequency are stated in the installation manual.
• The openings in the base, shall not be obstructed by a carpet.
• 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 creates heat. If the heat cannot escape, the items can become hot
enough to catch fire. Piling, stacking or storing oil-affected items can prevent heat from
escaping and so create a fire hazard.
