  • The appliance must not besupplied through an external switching device, such as a timer,or connected to a circuit that is regularly switched on and off by utility.
  • Connect the dryer to a grounded outlet protected by a fuse at the value specified on the type label. Have the grounding installation performed by a qualified electrician.
    The manufacturer shall not be liable for any damages that will arise when the dryer is used without grounding in accordance with the local regulations.

Product safety

DANGER!

  • Superheating of the clothes inside of the dryer can occur if you cancel the programme or in the event of a power failure whilst the dryer is running, this concentration of heat can cause self-combustion and fire so always activate the ventilation programme to cool down or quickly remove all laundry from the dryer in order to hang them up and dissipate the heat.
    Points to be taken into consideration for fire hazard:
    Below specified laundry or items must not be dried in the dryer considering fire hazard.
  • Unwashed laundry items

WARNING!

  • Ensure that the air inlet of the dryer is open and it is well-ventilated.
  • Product contains R290 refrigerant.
  • R290 is an environment-friendly, but flammable refrigerant.
  • Keep the product away from potential heat sources that may cause it to ignite.

DANGER!

  • Items soiled with oil, acetone, alcohol, fuel oil, kerosene, stain removers, turpentine, paraffin or paraffin removers must be washed in hot water with plenty of detergent before being dried in the dryer.

For this reason especially the items containing the above specified stains must be washed very well, to do this use adequate detergent and choose a high washing temperature.

Below specified laundry or items must not be dried in the dryer due to the fire hazard:

  • Garments or pillows bolstered with rubber foam (latex foam), shower bonnets, water resistant textiles, materials with rubber reinforcement and rubber foam pads.
  • Clothing cleaned with industrial chemicals.

DANGER!

Items such as lighter, match, coins, metal parts, needle etc. may damage the drum set or may lead to functional problems. Therefore check all the laundry that you will load into your dryer. Never stop your dryer before the programme completes. If you must do this, remove all laundry quickly and lay them out to dissipate the heat.

  • Clothes that are washed inadequately may ignite on their own and may even ignite after items in the dryer.
  • You must provide enough ventilation in order to prevent gasses exiting from devices operating with other types of fuels including the naked flame from accumulating in the room due to the back fire effect.
  • 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 oilaffected 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.

WARNING!

  • Underwear that contains metal reinforcements should not be dried in the dryer. Dryer may be damaged if metal reinforcements come loose and break off during drying.

NOTE

  • Use softeners and similar products in accordance with the instructions of their manufacturers.

Always clean the lint filter before or after each loading. Never operate the dryer without the lint filter installed.

Do not perform any repair or replacement procedures on the product even if you know or have the ability to perform the required procedure unless it is clearly suggested in the operating instructions or the published service manual. Otherwise, you will be putting your life and others’ lives in danger.
  • There must not be a lockable, sliding or hinged door that may block the opening of the loading door in the place where your dryer is to be installed.
  • Install your dryer at places suitable for home use. (laundry room)
  • Make sure that pets do not enter the dryer. Check the inside of the dryer before operating it.

WARNING!

  • Do not lean on the loading door of your dryer when it is open, otherwise it may fall over.
  • The lint must not be allowed to accumulate around the tumble dryer
  • The tumble dryer is not to be used if industrial chemicals have been used for cleaning.
  • Fabric softeners, or similar products. should be used as specified by the  fabric softener instructions.
  • Exhaust air must not be discharged into a flue which is used for exhausting fumes from appliances burning gas or other fuels.
  • The final step of the drying cycle (cool-down cycle) occurs without applying heat to ensure that the items are left at a temperature that will not damage them.

Stacking over a washing machine

  • A fixing device should be used between the two machines when stacking the dryer above a washing machine. Ensure you follow the instructions on the Stacking Kit very carefully.
  • Total weight of the washing machine and the dryer -with full load- when they are placed on top of each other reaches to approx. 180 kilograms. Place the products on a solid floor that has sufficient load carrying capacity
