Product safety

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
• 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.

• 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 even may ignite after drying ends.

• You must provide enough ventilation in order to prevent gases exiting from devices operating with other types of fuels including the naked flame from accumulating in the room due to the back fire effect.

• 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.

• 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.
