2.1.2 Product safety
Superheating of the clothes inside of the dryer can occur
if you cancel the programme or in the event of a power
failure whilst the dryer is running, this concentration
of heat can cause self-combustion and fire so always
activate the ventilation programme to cool down or
quickly remove all laundry from the dryer in order to
hang them up and dissipate the heat.
Points to be taken into consideration for fire hazard:
Below specified laundry or items must not be dried in the
dryer considering fire hazard.
• Unwashed laundry items
• Items soiled with oil, acetone, alcohol, fuel oil, ke-
rosene, stain removers, turpentine, paraffin or pa-
raffin removers must be washed in hot water with
plenty of detergent before being dried in the dryer.
For this reason especially the items containing the
above specified stains must be washed very well, to do
this use adequate detergent and choose a high washing
temperature.

8
Below specified laundry or items must not be dried in
the dryer due to the fire hazard:
• Garments or pillows bolstered with rubber foam (la-
tex foam), shower bonnets, water resistant textiles,
materials with rubber reinforcement and rubber
foam pads.
• Clothing cleaned with industrial chemicals.
Items such as lighter, match, coins, metal parts, needle
etc. may damage the drum set or may lead to functional
problems. Therefore check all the laundry that you will
load into your dryer.
Never stop your dryer before the programme completes.
If you must do this, remove all laundry quickly and lay
them out to dissipate the heat.
Clothes that are washed inadequately may ignite on their
own and even may ignite after drying ends.
• You must provide enough ventilation in order to prevent ga-
ses exiting from devices operating with other types of fuels
including the naked flame from accumulating in the room
due to the back fire effect.
AUnderwear that contains metal reinforcements should
not be dried in the dryer. Dryer may be damaged if metal
reinforcements come loose and break off during drying.
CUse softeners and similar products in accordance with
the instructions of their manufacturers.
CAlways clean the lint filter before or after each loading.
Never operate the dryer without the lint filter installed.
