SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING!
To prevent any damages to your and others’ life or property, you have to follow the safety notes.

• This product belongs to Category I electrical appliances, and only for drying textiles which have been washed with water in the household. Please pay attention to the safety of power use during the operation!

• The power source with reliable grounding must be used. Its earth wire must be buried under the ground and should not be connected with public utilities such as city water pipe or gas pipe etc. The earth wire and null wire should be distinguished and should not be connected together.

• The power wire should be met IEC and must be able to withstand the current above 16A. To ensure your and your family’s safety, please make improvements immediately if any power capabilities at your home does not meet the above-mentioned requirements.

• Do not put more load than recommended. Obey the maximum load volume. See the related chapter in the user manual.

• That the tumble dryer is not to be used if industrial chemicals have been used for cleaning.

• Do not dry unwashed items in the tumble dryer.

• Items that have been soiled with substances such as cooking oil, acetone, alcohol, petrol, kerosene, spot removers, turpentine, waxes and wax removers should be washed in hot water with an extra amount of detergent before being dried in the tumble dryer.

• 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 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 a temperature that ensures that the items

• will not be damaged.

• The lint trap has to be cleaned frequently.

• The lint must not to be allowed to accumulate around the tumble dryer.

• Adequate ventilation has to be provided to avoid the

• back flow of gases into the room from appliance burning other 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 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.
