Safety Information - Electrolux Tumble dryer Instruction Book

Safety information

Before installing or using the tumble dryer, read the instruction booklet carefully, including its hints
and warnings. Doing so will help ensure that your dryer will function properly and to best advantage.
Anyone using the dryer should be thoroughly familiar with its instructions for use and the safety
aspects. Save these instructions and make sure they remain with the dryer if it is moved or sold,
so that everyone using it through its life can be properly informed on the dryer use and safety.
Installation and servicing
All installation work and other work done on
the product must be carried out by a qualified
technician. Work performed by persons with
inadequate knowledge may adversely affect
the satisfactory functioning of the product and
may cause injury or damage.
The dryer is heavy, take care when lifting it.
If installed in a bathroom, the dryer must be at
least 60 cm away from the bathtub. If the dryer
is installed in a bathroom without fixed wiring to
the electrical supply, an earth leakage circuit
breaker (or RCD) must be used.
Make sure that the dryer is not standing on its
electrical lead and also that the ventilation ope-
ning at the bottom of the door is not obstructed
if the dryer is on a carpeted floor.
The electrical plug must be plugged into an
earthed socket. Permanent electrical installation
may only be carried out by an authorised
electrician.
The adjustable feet must not be removed,
these ensure that the underside of the dryer
is ventilated.
Servicing and repairs must be carried out by
a service company authorised by the supplier.
Use only spare parts supplied by these.
Never try to repair the dryer yourself.
Child Safety
Remember that the plastic bags included in the
packaging can be fatal playthings for small
children.
The tumble dryer should be used by adults only.
Do not allow children to play with it or touch its
controls and moving/movable parts.
Before loading the dryer, check that there are
no foreign objects or pets inside the drum.
Using the tumble dryer
This dryer is intended only for normal domestic
drying of laundry, and only in accordance with
these instructions. If it is used for other purposes,
there is a risk that this may cause injury or
damage.
Do not overload the dryer (see "Instructions for
Use").
Laundry which has been in contact with chemi-
cals such as stain removal products and similar,
should not be dried in the machine, since
volatile chemicals can be a fire risk.
The following items/materials should not be
dried in the machine either:
– Pillows, cushions, down-filled items etc.
(these cause a build-up of heat, and can
make the dryer overheat)
– Wool, on account of its tendency to mat
– Especially sensitive textiles, such as
synthetic curtains, silk etc.
– Garments made of foam rubber or rubber-
like materials must not be dried in the
machine.
Get into the habit of cleaning the condenser at
regular intervals. Keeping the condenser as clean
as possible makes the dryer more efficient and
means shorter drying times.
Always switch off the dryer after use.
Never start the dryer unless the fluff filter is
clean and correctly in place, or if the fluff filter
is damaged (this could cause overheating or
damage your load of laundry).
Scrapping the dryer
Disconnect the electrical plug from the power
supply, then cut the electrical lead at the point
where it enters the dryer. Make quite sure that
children will not be able to play with it.
For advice on the best way to dispose of the
dryer, contact your local council or the service
company.
