•Fabric softeners or similar products
should not be used in a tumble dryer
to eliminate the effects of static elec-
tricity, unless this practice is specifi-
cally recommended by the manufac-
turer of the fabric softener or product.
•Do not place heavily worn laundry
items in the appliance. Risk of fire!
•Do not place laundry items with loose
fillings (e.g. cushions) in the appliance.
Risk of fire!
•Parts with rigid components (e.g. door
mats) may cover the air slots. Risk of fire!
Do not place such items in the appliance.
•Do not overfill the appliance.
Risk of fire! Observe max. loading volu-
me of 6 kg.
•To minimize the risk of fire in a tumble
dryer, the following should be observed:
– Items that have been spotted or soaked
with vegetable or cooking oil constitute a
fire hazard and should not be placed in
a tumble dryer.
•Oil-affected items can ignite spontaneously,
especially when exposed to heat sources
such as in a tumble dryer. The items beco-
me 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 sto-
ring oil-affected 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 deter-
gent - this will reduce, but not eliminate,
the hazard.
The 'cool down' cycle of tumble dryers
should be used to reduce the tempera-
ture of the items. They should not be
