General Safety

  • Do not change the specification of this appliance.

  • The appliance can be installed as freestanding or below a kitchen counter with correct space (refer to the Installation leaflet).

  • Do not install the appliance behind a lockable door, a sliding door or a door with a hinge on the opposite side, that would prevent the appliance door from being fully open.

  • The ventilation opening in the base must not be covered by a carpet, mat, or any floor covering.

  • WARNING: The appliance must not be supplied through an external switching device, such as a timer, or connected to a circuit that is regularly switched on and off by a utility.

  • Connect the mains plug to the mains socket only at the end of the installation process. Make sure that the mains plug is accessible after installation.

  • Ensure good air ventilation in the room where the appliance is installed to avoid the backflow of unwanted gases into the room from appliances burning gas or other fuels, including open fires.

  • WARNING: Do not install the appliance in an environment with no air exchange.
    The appliance contains flammable gas, propane (R290), a gas with a high level of environmental compatibility. Keep fire and ignition sources away from the appliance. Be careful not to cause damage to the refrigerant circuit containing propane.

  • WARNING: In the appliance enclosure or in the built -in structure, keep ventilation opening clear of obstruction.

  • WARNING: Do not damage the refrigerant circuit.

  • If the mains power supply cable is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its Authorised Service Centre or similarly qualified persons to avoid an electrical hazard.

  • Do not exceed the maximum load of 8 kg (refer to the “Programme chart” chapter).

  • Do not use the appliance if items have been soiled with industrial chemicals.

  • Wipe away lint or packaging debris that has accumulated around the appliance.

  • Do not run the appliance without a filter. Clean the lint filter before or after each use.

  • 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 only be used as specified by the product manufacturer’s instructions.

  • 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 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.

  • Remove all objects from items that could be a source of fire ignition such as lighters or matches.

  • WARNING: 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.

  • Before any maintenance operation, deactivate the appliance and disconnect the mains plug from the socket.

HINTS AND TIPS

Preparing the laundry
Very often the clothes after washing cycle are kneaded and tangled altogether. Drying kneaded and tangled clothes is inefficient. To assure proper air flow and even drying it is recommended to shake and load one by one the clothes to the tumble dryer.

To assure proper drying process:

  • Close the zips.
  • Close the fasteners of duvet covers.
  • Do not dry ties or ribbons loose (e.g. apron ribbons). Tie them before you start a program.
  • Remove all items from pockets.
  • Turn items with the internal layer made of cotton inside out. Cotton layer must be faced outwards.
  • Always set the program suitable for the type of laundry.
  • Do not put light and dark colours together.
  • Use suitable program for cottons, jersey and knitwear to reduce shrinkage.
  • Do not exceed the maximum load stated in the programs chapter or shown on the display.
  • Dry only the laundry that is suitable for tumble drying. Refer to the fabric label on the items.
  • Do not dry large and small items together. Small items can be trapped inside the large items and remain wet.
  • Shake the large clothes, fabrics before placing in the tumble dryer. It is to avoid moist places inside the fabric after the drying cycle.
