Use

• This appliance is designed for domestic use. It must not
be used for purposes other than those for which it was
designed.
• Only wash and dry fabrics which are designed to be
machine washed or dried. Follow the instructions on each
garment label
• Do not overload the appliance. See the "Washing and
drying programs" table on pages 11-13.
• Before washing, ensure that all pockets are empty and
buttons and zips are fastened. Avoid washing frayed or
torn articles and treat stains such as paint, ink, rust, and
grass before washing. Underwired bras must NOT be
machine washed.
warning
Risk of fire! 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. 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 detergent - this will reduce, but not
eliminate, the hazard.
• Please make sure that no gas lighters or matches have
accidentally been left in pockets of garments to be loaded
into the appliance.
• In order to avoid danger of fires caused by excessive
drying, do not use appliance to dry the following items:
cushions, quilts and the like (these items accumulate heat).
• 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 appliance.
• If you have washed your laundry with stain remover you
must execute an extra rinse cycle before drying.
• Garments which have been in contact with volatile
petroleum products should not be machine washed. If
volatile cleaning fluids are used, care should be taken to
ensure that the fluid is removed from the garment before
placing in the machine.
• As some duvets/doonas and eiderdowns should be
washed/dried in large commercial machines because of
their bulk, please check with the manufacturer of the item
before washing in a domestic machine.
• Never tumble dry items that have had contact with
chemicals such as dry cleaning fluid. These are of a volatile
nature and could cause an explosion. Only tumble dry
items which have been washed in water or require airing.
• Plastic detergent dispensers should not remain in the
drum during the drying cycle, as the plastic used is not
designed to withstand the heat. If you wish to wash
through-to-dry you should use the conventional detergent
dispenser drawer.
• Do not use tumble dryer if industrial chemicals have been
used for cleaning.
• Do not dry unwashed items in the tumble dryer.
• Items which have been soiled with substances such as
cooking oil, alcohol, petrol, kerosine, spot removers,
turpentine, waxes and wax removers should be washed in
hot water with an extra amount of detergent before drying
in the tumble dryer.
• Fabric softeners, or similar products should be used as
specified by the fabric softener instructions.
• The final part of a tumble dryer cycle occurs without heat
(cool down cycle) to ensure that the items are left at the
temperature that ensures that the items will not be damaged.
• Never pull the power supply cable to remove the plug
from the socket; always take hold of the plug itself.
• Never use your new appliance if the power supply cable,
the control panel, the working surface or the base are
damaged so that the inside of the appliance is accessible.
warning
• Hot surface! Do not touch the back of the appliance
while it is operating.
• Once the drying cycle program has been interrupted, the
laundry and drum may be hot.
• Risk of burns! Take care when removing the laundry.
• 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.
