SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING!
To prevent any damage 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 that have been washed with water in the household. Please pay attention to the safety of power use during the operation!
  • A 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.
  • The exhaust air must not be discharged into a flue which is used for exhausting fumes from appliance burning gas or other fuels.
  • The appliance must not be installed behind a lockable door, a sliding door or a door with a hinge on the opposite side to that of the tumble dryer in such a way that a full opening of the tumble dryer door is restricted.
  • 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.
  • The appliance should not be overturned during normal use or maintenance.
  • Remove all objects from pockets such as lighters and matches.
  • This appliance can be used by children aged 8 years and above and persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities or lack of experience and knowledge

INSTALLATION

TESLA-WT8C91M-Tumble-Dryer-fig- \(3\)

Transport
Move cautiously. Do not grasp any salient parts of the machine. The machine door cannot be used as the handle for delivery. If the dryer cannot be transported erectly, the dryer could be slant to right less than 30°.

Installation Position

  1. It is recommended that, for your convenience, the machine is positioned close to your washing machine.
  2. The tumble dryer must be installed in a clean place, where dirt does not build up. Air must be able to circulate freely all round the appliance. Do not obstruct the front air inlet or the air intake grilles at the back of the machine.
  3. To keep vibration and noise to a minimum when the dryer is in use, it should be placed on a firm and level surface.
  4. The feet must never be removed. Do not restrict the floor clearance through deep pile carpets, strips of wood or similar. This might cause heat build-up which would interfere with the operation of the appliance.

Level Adjusting
Once in its permanent operating position, check that the dryer is absolutely level with the aid of a spirit level. If it is not, adjust the feet with a tool.

Power Supply Connection

  1. Make sure that the voltage of the power supply is the same as the electric specification of the dryer.
  2. Do not connect the dryer with the power connection board, just a universal plug or socket.
