Safety Information

Possible Electric Shocks

• Disassembly, reparation or modification cannot be carried out by people other than professional maintenance staffs.
• The household electrical supply system (the current, the voltage, the cable) such as a fuse with suitable specifications should be provided.should meet requirements of the dryer under normal load, and safety devices.
• The power plug must be connected to a three-core socket with an earth wire and is grounded properly and reliably.
• If the supply cord is damaged, ii must be replaced by the manufacturer,its service agent or similarly qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard.
• Do not disconnect the power plug by pulling the supply cord. Hold the power plug with your hand.
• Do not use the supply cord when connection of the power plug and the supply cord is loose.
• Do not touch the power plug with wet hands. Wipe dust or water drops over the power plug off with dry cloth.
• Do not over-bend the supply cord or put it under heavy weight.
• Do not use the supply cord /socket/ power plug if it is damaged or broken.

Possible Explosions

• Do not put combustible liquid such as gasoline, petrol and alcohol into the appliance or nearby. Don’t put clothes with that liquid into the appliance.
• Do not connect I disconnect the power plug when leakage of gas or other combustible gas occurs.

Fire Accidents / Short Circuit or Electric Leakage May Occur

• Do not install the appliance close to fire sources or heat sources.

• Do not rest any burning candles or cigarettes on the appliance.

• Do not install the appliance in places with dampness or suffer from rainfalls, lest igniting damages or other accidents occur easily due to gathered water drops on electrical components.

• Do not install the dryer in places under direct sunshine, lest the plastic components and rubber components become aged.
  

• Do not use water shooting at the appliance when cleaning it.

• In order to avoid danger of fires caused by excessive drying, do not use the appliance to dry the following items: Cushions, quilts and the like (these items accumulate heat). your tumble dryer.

• If you have washed your laundry with stain removE)ryou must execute an extra rinse cycle before loading

• Remove all objects from pockets such as lighters and matches, make sure that no gas lighters or matches have accidentally been left in pockets of garments to be loaded into appliance.

• Oil-affected items can ignite spontaneouslyespecially 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.

• For appliances with ventilation openings in the base, that a carpet must not obstruct the openings.

• Exhaust air must not be discharged into a flue which is used for exhausting fumes from appliances burning gas or other fuels.

Personal Injury May Occur

• This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.

Installation

Positioning

It is recommended that, for your convenience, the machine is positioned close to your washing machine. Whilst drying, the tumble dryer will expel a certain amount of warm, very moist air, and this should be removed from the room as quickly as possible to prevent condensation. In an extremely well ventilated room or close to an open window, this may occur naturally. However, in general, it is better to carry the dryer’s exhaust outside via the vent hose supplied with the appliance; ending either temporarily at an open window, or permanently at a fixed ventilation grille, fitted to an exterior wall or window.
The tumble dryer must be installed in a clean place, where dirt does not build up. Make sure there are no obstructing items or material near the air-intake louvres provided at the back (e.g. paper, rags etc.). To keep vibration and noise to a minimum when the dryer is in use, it should be placed on a firm, level surface.

Level Adjustment

When pushing down the edges of the dryer top plate diagonally, the machine should not move up and down at all. (please check both of two directions) if the machine rocks when pushing the machine top plate diagonally, adjust the feet again.

• Loosen the locknuts
• Adjust the adjustable feet to lower the dryer by turning right and to ascend it by turning left.
• Tighten the locknut after insuring the dryer is level.

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.

Fitting the Vent Hose

Pull the ring nut (A) from the vent outlet, aligning arrows of hose and ring nut,fastening by screwing hose to the direction of arrow and pushing it firmly back into place.

Advice:
If the hose is long and the room temperature low,the moisture might condense inside the hose.this is an unavoidable natural phenomenon. To prevent this water from lying in the hose or flowing back into the tumble dryer, it is advisable to drill a small container below it. (See picture, point B)
Once connected to the dryer.run the vent hose to the desired outlet point.it contains no more than two bends. As to the outlet itself, if you have decided on a fixed wall/window grille.a good local builder’s merchant should be able to supply you with the necessary fittings and installation advice.

It is important not to connect the vent hose to,for example.a cooker hood.or a chimney or flue pipe designed to carry the exhaust from a fuel burning appliance.
Note that to avoid condensation problems,it is essential that the dryer be fitted with the flexible hose to carry its auste outside the kitchen.
In order to prevent the appliance form overheating,it is important that the steam exhaust is unobstructed.
If the dryer is fitted next to kitchen units.make sure that the vent hose is not squashed.
If the hose is partially squashed,drying efficiency will be reduced,resulting in longer drying times and higher energy consumption.If the hose is completely squashed.the safety cut-out with which the machine is filled may operate.
That adequate ventilation has to be provided to aviod the back flow of gases into the room from appliances burning other fuels,including open fires.
For appliances with ventilation openings in the base.that a carpet must not obstruct the openings.

Electrical Connection
Any electrical work required to install this appliance should be carried out by a qualified electrician or competent person.

The manufacturer declines any liability should this safety measure not be observed.
Before switching on, make sure the electricity supply voltage is the same as that indicated on the appliance’s rating plate.
Should the plug need to be replaced for any reason, proceed as described below.

• The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code:
• Green and Yellow-Earth
• Blue-Neutral
  Brown-Live
  The wire coloured green and yellow must be connected to the terminal marked with the letter or by the earth symbol or coloured green and yellow.

Environment Concerns

WARNING:

• A cut off plug inserted into a socket is a serious safety (shock) hazard.
• Ensure that the cut off plug is disposed of safely.
• Permanent connection
  In the case of permanent connection it is necessary that you install a double pole switch.
  The switch must not break the yellow and green earth cable at any point.

Packaging Materials

• The materials marked with the symbol-{:;:, are recyclable.

  PE<=polyethylene
  PS<=polystyrene
  PP<=polypropylene

• This means that they can be recycled by disposing of them properly in appropriate collection containers.

• Old machine
  Use authorized disposal sites for your old appliance. Help to keep your country tidy!

• The symbol )i on the product or on its packaging indicates that this product may not be treated as household waste. Instead it should be taken to the appropriate collection point for the recycling of electrical and electronic equipment. By ensuring this product is disposed of correctly, you will help prevent potential negative consequences for the environment and human health, which could otherwise be caused by inappropriate waste handling of this product. For more detailed information about recycling of this product, please contact your local council, your household waste disposal service or the shop where you purchased the product.

• The Symbol & mean: caution, risk of fire
  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 oilaffected 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.

Ecological Hints

To save energy and to help protect the environment,we recommend that you follow these hints: Try to load the maximum capacity of the machine as small loads are uneconomical.

• Do not over-dry laundry,this avoids creasing and saves energy.
• Select the drying programme according to the type of laundry and the required degree of dryness.
• Clean the filters regularly to avoid excessive drying times and high electricity consumption.
• Ventilate the room well.
