3.3 Use
WARNING!
Risk of injury, electrical
shock, fire, burns or damage
to the appliance.
• Do not dry the damaged items which
contain padding or fillings.
• Only dry fabrics which are applicable
to dry in the tumble dryer. Follow the
instructions on the fabric label.
• If you have washed your laundry with
a stain remover start an extra rinse
cycle before you start the dryer.
• Do not drink or prepare food with the
condensed water/distilled water. It can
cause health problems to people and
pets.
• Do not sit or stand on the open door.
• Do not dry dripping wet clothes in the
tumble dryer.
• 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 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.
3.4 Care and cleaning
WARNING!
Risk of injury or damage to
the appliance.
• Do not use water spray and steam to
clean the appliance.
• Clean the appliance with a moist soft
cloth. Only use neutral detergents. Do
not use abrasive products, abrasive
cleaning pads, solvents or metal
objects.
3.5 Compressor
WARNING!
Risk of damage to the
appliance.
• The compressor and its system in the
tumble dryer is filled with the special
agent which is free from fluoro-chloro-
hydrocarbons. This system must stay
tight. The damage of the system can
cause a leakage.

WARNING!
Risk of injury or suffocation.
• Disconnect the appliance from the
mains supply.
• Cut off the mains cable and discard it.
