· Do not plug/draw the mains plug with wet hands. · Do not bend, clamp or damage the power cord and the
power plug. · If the power cable is damaged, it must be replaced by the
manufacturer, its service agent or similarly qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard.
3

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
· 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.
· Do not connect the appliance to the mains electricity supply by an extension lead, multi-socket adapter or similar.
· The accessibility of the plug must always be ensured, in order to disconnect the tumble dryer from the mains.
· If the appliance appear high temperature abnormally, please draw the mail plug immediately.

CAUTION: RISK OF FIRE !
Explosion & Fire danger
· Please do not dry the clothes with any flammable substances such as kerosene or alcohol. Otherwise, there may be explosion.
· The appliance contains an environmentally friendly but flammable R290 refrigerant. Keep away from open flame and other sources of ignition.
· 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.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
· 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.
· 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.
· Remove all objects from pockets such as lighters and matches.
· 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: 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.
· Openings must not be obstructed. · The lint trap has to be cleaned frequently. · Lint must not to be allowed to accumulate around the
tumble dryer.
