transit.
Make sure that the laundry you are going to dry is
suitable for drying in a tumble dryer, as shown by the
care symbols on each item.
Check that all fastenings are closed and that
pockets are empty. Turn the articles inside out. Place
clothes loosely in the drum to make sure that they
don't get tangled.
Clothes Preparation
● Cottons Max. 8 kg
● Synthetics Max. 4 kg
Maximum Drying Weight
Woollens, silk, delicate fabrics, nylon stockings,
delicate embroidery, fabrics with metallic decorations,
garments with PVC or leather trimmings, training

Do Not Tumble Dry:
IMPORTANT: Do not dry articles which
have been treated with a dry cleaning fluid or
rubber clothes (danger of fire or explosion).
Only put into the tumble dryer laundry which
has been thoroughly wrung or spin-dried. The
drier the laundry the shorter the drying time thus
saving electricity.
ALWAYS
● Try to dry the maximum weight of laundry, this
will save time and electricity.
● Check that the filter is clean before every
drying cycle.
NEVER
● Exceed the maximum weight, this will waste
time and electricity.
● Put dripping wet items into the tumble dryer,
this may damage the appliance.
Energy Saving
During the last 15 minutes (roughly) the
load is always tumbled in cool air
Do not overload the drum, large items when

TURVALLISUUSOHJEET
Edellä mainitun ohjeen noudattamatta
jättäminen voi heikentää laitteen turvallisuutta.
Jos koneessa on väärinkäytöstä johtuva
ongelma, siihen liittyvä huoltokäynti voi olla
maksullinen.
Tarkista, ettei kone ole vaurioitunut
kuljetuksessa. Jos kone on vaurioitunut, soita
valmistajan GIAShuoltoon.

joiden fyysiset tai henkiset valmiudet eivät riitä laitteen turvallisen
käsittelyyn tai joilla ei ole laitteen käytön edellyttämää kokemusta tai
tietoa, jos he toimivat toisen henkilön valvonnassa tai ovat saaneet
ohjeistuksen laitteen käyttöön ja käyttö tapahtuu turvallisella tavalla ja he
ymmärtävät laitteen käyttöön liittyvät vaarat.
Älä anna lasten leikkiä laitteella.
Lapset eivät saa puhdistaa ja huoltaa laitetta ilman valvontaa.
● VAROITUS Kuivausrummun väärinkäyttö voi aiheuttaa palovaaran.
●Tämä laite on tarkoitettu käytettäväksi kotitalouksissa ja vastaavissa
paikoissa, esimerkiksi:
-myymälöiden, toimistojen ja muiden työpaikkojen henkilöstön
keittiötiloissa;
-maatiloilla;
-hotellien, motellien ja muiden asuinpaikan tyyppisten paikkojen
asiakkaiden käytössä;
-aamiaismajoituksen kaltaisessa käytössä.
Laitteen käyttö kotitalousympäristöstä poikkeavissa paikoissa tai
tavanomaisista kodinhoitotoimista poikkeavalla tavalla, kuten
kaupallinen asiantuntija- tai ammattilaiskäyttö, on kiellettyä myös edellä
kuvatuissa paikoissa.
Tätä laitetta voivat käyttää vähintään 8-vuotiaat lapset sekä henkilöt,
SU 17

Jos laitetta käytetään näistä ohjeista poikkeavalla tavalla, sen käyttöikä
voi lyhentyä ja valmistajan takuu voi raueta. Valmistaja ei hyväksy mitään
laitteelle aiheutuvia vahinkoja tai muita vahinkoja ja menetyksiä, jotka
aiheutuvat kotitalouskäytöstä poikkeavasta käytöstä (myös laitteen
ollessa kotitalousympäristössä), lain sallimassa enimmäislaajuudessa.
● Tämä kone on tarkoitettu vain kotikäytössä tapahtuvaan tekstiilien ja
vaatteiden kuivaamiseen.
●Tätä laitetta tulee käyttää vain suunniteltuun käyttötarkoitukseen, joka
on kuvattu tässä oppaassa. Perehdy asennus- ja käyttöohjeisiin hyvin
ennen laitteen käyttöä.
● Älä koske laitteeseen kostein tai märin käsin tai jaloin.
● Älä nojaa luukkuun, kun täytät konetta, äläkä nosta tai liikuta konetta
luukusta.
● Älä päästä lapsia leikkimään koneella tai sen toimintopainikkeilla.
● VAROITUS Älä käytä tuotetta, jos nukkasuodatin ei ole paikallaan tai jos
se on vaurioitunut – nukka saattaa syttyä palamaan.
●VAROITUS Kuumien pintojen varoitussymbolilla merkittyjen pintojen
lämpötila voi kuivausrumpua käytettäessä olla yli 60 °C.
●Irrota pistoke pistorasiasta. Irrota pistoke aina ennen koneen
puhdistamista.
● Älä jatka koneen käyttöä, jos havaitset sen vialliseksi.
● Älä anna pölyn tai nukan kerääntyä lattialle koneen ympärille.
● Kuivaimen sisällä oleva rumpu voi olla erittäin kuuma. Älä poista
pyykkiä koneesta, ennen kuin jäähdytysaika on kokonaan loppunut.
●Kuivausohjelman viimeinen vaihe suoritetaan ilman lämmitystä
(jäähdytysohjelma), jotta lämpö ei vaurioita tekstiilejä.
●Kuivausrummun suurin täyttömäärä: katso energiakilvestä 8 kg
●Kuivausrumpua ei saa käyttää, jos tekstiilien pesussa on käytetty
teollisuuskemikaaleja.
●VAROITUS: Älä koskaan pysäytä kuivausrumpua ennen
kuivausohjelman päättymistä, paitsi jos tekstiilit otetaan heti pois
rummusta ja levitetään niin, että lämpö pääsee haihtumaan.
