if they have received instructions on how to use the
appliance form a person who is responsible for their
safety.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING – To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury
to persons when using your appliance, follow basic precautions,
including the following:
1 Read all instructions before using the appliance.
2 Do not dry articles that have been previously cleaned
in, washed in, soaked in, or spotted with gasoline, dry-
cleaning solvents, or other flammable or explosive
substances, as they give offvapors that could ignite or
explode.
3 Risk of suffocation and injury from entrapment: Do
not allow children to play on or in the appliance. Close
supervision of children is necessary when the appliance is
used near children.
4 Before the appliance is removed from service or discarded,
remove the door to the drying compartment.
5 Do not install or store this appliance where it will be exposed
to the weather.
6 Do not tamper with controls.
7 Do not repair or replace any part of the appliance or attempt
any servicing unless specifically recommended in the
user-maintenance instructions or in published user-repair
instructions that you understand and have the skills to carry
out.
879787ae.indd 6879787ae.indd 6 7. 02. 2023 14:54:057. 02. 2023 14:54:05

8 Do not use heat to dry articles containing foam rubber or
similarly textured rubber-like materials.
9 Keep area around the exhaust opening and adjacent
surrounding areas free from the accumulation of lint, dust,
and dirt.
10 The interior of the appliance and exhaust duct should be
cleaned periodically.
11 Do not place items exposed to cooking oils in your drying
cabinet. Items contaminated with cooking oils may contribute
to a chemical reaction that could cause a load to catch fire.
To reduce the risk of fire due to contaminated loads, the final
part of a drying cabinet cycle occurs without heat (cool down
period). Avoid stopping a drying cabinet before the end of the
drying cycle unless all items are quickly removed and spread
out so that the heat is dissipated.
12 Do not use replacement parts that have not been
recommended by the manufacturer (e.g. parts made at home
using a 3D printer).

For a grounded, cord-connected appliance:
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance must be grounded. In the event of malfunction
or breakdown, grounding will reduce the risk of electric shock
by providing a path of least resistance for electric current.
This appliance is equipped with a cord having an equipment-
grounding conductor and a grounding plug.The plug must be
plugged into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and
grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
WARNING– Improper connection of the equipment-
grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. Check
with a qualified electrician or service representative or personnel
if you are in doubt as to whether the appliance is properly
grounded.
Do not modify the plug provided with the appliance: if it will
not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified
electrician.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS FOR FUTURE REFERENCE!

WARNING!
Install the drying cabinet according to the
manufacturer’s instructions and local codes.
WARNING!
Drying cabinet installation must be performed by
a qualified installer.
WARNING!
To reduce the risk of severe injury or death,
follow all installation instructions.
WARNING!
Save these instructions.
WARNING!
Do not install a drying cabinet with flexible
plastic venting materials. If flexible metal (foil
type) duct is installed, it must be of a specific
type identified by the appliance manufacturer
as suitable for use with drying cabinets. Flexible
venting materials are known to collapse, be
easily crushed, and trap lint. These conditions
will obstruct drying cabinet airflow and increase
the risk of fire.
WARNING!
• The appliance shall not be exhausted into
a chimney, a wall, a ceiling, an attic, a crawl
space, or a concealed space of a building;
• Only rigid or flexible metal duct shall be used
for exhausting;
• Maximum duct length shall be 8 feet (2.4 m)
and maximum number of bends shall be 4;
• The total length of flexible metal duct shall not
exceed 8 feet (2.4 m);
• The duct shall not be assembled with screws
or other fastening means that extend into the
duct and catch lint.
WARNING!
Do not install a booster fan in the exhaust duct.

PACKAGING MATERIALS
The packaging that protects the drying
cabinet against damage in transit has been
chosen with concern for the environment in
mind and is therefore recyclable.
Packaging that is returned to the material
cycle means reduced consumption of raw
materials and a smaller volume of waste.
FOR A GOOD ENVIRONMENT
MANAGEMENT OF END-OF-LIFE
DRYING CABINET
When the drying cabinet has reached the
end of its useful life, it must be taken to a
recycling center for disposal.
Many parts of the drying cabinet can be re-
used, but it also contains other material that
must be handled correctly.
You should therefore never leave the drying
cabinet or parts of the cabinet for collection
with household waste, as this may lead to
risks to health and cause damage to the
environment.
The end-of-life drying cabinet should
instead be taken to a recycling center.
Check with your dealer if necessary.
All the plastic parts of the drying
cabinet are marked with internationally
standardised symbols.
The parts of the drying cabinet can
therefore be recycled in an environmentally
sound manner by waste separation.
