In accordance with European Directive 2012/19/EC and Polish legislation regarding
used electrical and electronic goods, this appliance is marked with the symbol of the
crossed-out waste container.
This marking indicates that the appliance must not be disposed of together with other
household waste after it has been used.
The user is obliged to hand it over to waste collection centre collecting used electrical
and electronic goods. The collectors, including local collection points, shops and local
authority departments provide recycling schemes. Proper handling of used electrical and
electronic goods helps avoid environmental and health hazards resulting from the presence of danger-
ous components and the inappropriate storage and processing of such goods.

NOTES ON SAFETY
1) Unique and luxury design: Uniquely styled front loading
dryer.
2) Electronic Controls: Simple and convenient operation
thanks to electronic controls. The appliance will automati-
cally adjust the temperature when drying.
3) Large door opening: Observe the drying process clearly
through the door window.
4) Open the door to 180°: It is very convenient to put in
and take out laundry thanks to wide opening angle.
5) Clever design: Suitable capacity and unique appear-
ance with anti-dust, anti-humidity, anti-vibration features to
ensure long life and low noise operation.
6) Do not tumble dry laundry cleaned with industrial chem-
icals.
7) Regularly clean the lint lter.
8) Lint must not to be allowed to accumulate around the
tumble dryer.
9) Adequate ventilation must be provided to avoid the
back ow of gases into the room from appliance burning
other fuels, including open res.
10) Do not dry unwashed items in the tumble dryer.
11) Items that have been soiled with substance such as
cooking oil, acetone, alcohol, petrol, kerosene, spot re-
movers, turpentine, waxes and wax removers should be
washed in hot water with a extra amount of detergent be-
fore being dried in the tumble dryer.
12) Items such as foam rubber (latex foam), shower caps,
waterproof textiles, rubber backed articles and clothes or
pillows tted with foam rubber pads should not be dried in
the tumble dryer.
13) Fabric softeners, or similar products, should be used
as specied by the fabric softener instructions.

5
NOTES ON SAFETY
14) The nal part of a tumble dryer cycle occurs without
heat (cool down cycle) to ensure that the items are cooled
down to a lower temperature and they will not be dam-
aged.
15) 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 allowed to escape safe-
ly.
16) The exhaust air must not be discharged into a ue
which is used for exhausting fumes from appliance burn-
ing gas or other fuels.
17) 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.
18) Oil-stained items can ignite spontaneously, especially
when exposed to heat sources such as in a tumble
dryer. The items become warm, causing an oxidation re-
action in the oil. Oxidation creates heat. If the heat
cannot escape, the items can become hot enough to catch
re. Piling, stacking or storing oil-stained items can
prevent heat from escaping and so create a re hazard.
19) If it is unavoidable that fabrics that contain vegetable
or cooking oil or which have been contaminated by hair
care products be placed in a tumble dryer, they should
rst be washed in hot water with extra detergent. This will
reduce, but not eliminate, the hazard.
20) The appliance should not be tilted during normal use
or maintenance.
21) Remove all objects from pockets such as lighters and
matches.

6
NOTES ON SAFETY
22) This appliance can be used by children aged from 8
years and above and persons with reduced physical,
sensory or mental capabilities or lack of experience and
knowledge if they have been given supervision or
instruction concerning use of the appliance in a safe way
and understand the hazards involved. Children shall
not play with the appliance. Cleaning and user mainte-
nance shall not be made by children without supervision.
23) For appliances with ventilation openings in the base,
carpet must not obstruct the openings.
24) If the power cord is damaged, it must be replaced by
the manufacturer, its service agent or similarly qualied
persons in order to avoid a hazard.
25) This appliance is for indoor use only.
26) The openings must not be obstructed by a carpet.
27) Children of less than 3 years should be kept away un-
less continuously supervised.

INSTALL THE DRYER
lFor convenience, it is recommended to place the appliance near
a washing machine.
lDo not place the appliance on a carpet!

lPay attention to the shape of the oor surface, and make sure the
entire appliance weight rests on its legs (not its body)!
I. Position and level the appliance
After positioning and levelling
the appliance, check that it is
stable by pressing down each
corner and ensuring it does not
move!
l Place the appliance on a solid, even surface.
l Level the machine by adjusting the legs (1)

INSTALL THE DRYER
IV. Tips
1. Spin the laundry in the washing machine before tumble drying. The high spin speed can
reduce the drying time and save energy.
2. To make sure the drying effects are uniform, sort the laundry by fabric type and drying
program.
3. Before the drying close the locks, hooks and buttons, etc.
4. Do not over-dry clothes, as they can easily crease or shrink.
5. Do not dry articles such as raincoats, bike covers or similar exible materials containing
rubber parts.
6. The door can only be opened when the programme completes. This prevents the user
from being scalded by hot steam or overheated air.
7. To avoid extended drying cycles and increased energy consumption, clean the appli-
ance lters after each use. Remember to empty the container with water discharged during
drying.
8. Use only the dedicated programme to dry woollen garments.
9. Recommended load depending on the kind of laundry to be dried.

TABLE OF PROGRAMMES
Note: 1. [ ] This symbol indicates a programme used to determine the energy efciency of the "standard cotton
fabrics drying programme", which is suitable for drying cotton fabrics at normal humidity level. It is the most energy
efcient cotton drying programme.
Note: 2. Recommended applications of these programmes are indicative only. The user can select the desired

SAFETY RESET
Safety reset
1. These dryers have a temperature activated safety cut out switch.
2. The safety reset button can be found on the backboard. If your dryer does not heat you
need to push this button before the dryer will operate again. You may need to wait 10 minu-
tes for the appliance to cool down.
3. A clogged lint lter is the most common reason for the dryer to overheat.
Clean the lint lter after each drying cycle to prevent overheating.
It is will only be necessary to press the safety reset button if the dryer does not heat. Allow
at least 10 minutes for the dryer to cool down before you press the button. Press and hold
the white button in until you feel a click. Cleaning the lter after each drying cycle will pre-
vent repetitive actuation of the safety cut out switch.
The cut out switch may operate for the following reasons:
1. A clogged lint lter.
2. Exhaust outlets blocked at the back of the dryer.
3. Poor ventilation in the room -- open a window or door
4. Lightweight garment eg. handkerchief, sucked in and blocking the lter.
Safety cut out switch reset button
Use your nger or a pencil to press the button in until you feel it click.
