• This dryer is intended only for drying clothes and textiles that have
been washed in water. Do not use for any other purpose.
• Do not use this dryer without the lint screen in place.
• 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.
• This dryer shall not be used to dry off solvents or dry cleaning fluids.
• This dryer is not designed for drying items that may create an
explosive atmosphere inside the dryer, and must not be used for
this purpose.
• Do not open door while dryer is in operation. It will stop.
• 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 spontaneous combustion risk).
• In case of power supply failure, remove the load quickly and spread
it out to avoid spontaneous combustion risk.
• This dryer is not intended for use by persons (including children)
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.
• Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with
the dryer.
• Do not dry unwashed items in the dryer.
• Adequate ventilation has to be provided to avoid the back flow
of gases into the room from appliances burning fuels, including
open fires.
• 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
