Technical data

130717
•Use the dryer to dry only laundry washed with water. Do not attempt to dry
laundry, washed or cleaned with ammable detergents or solutions (gasoline,
trichloroethylene etc.), as it may cause explosion.
•Do not let children play with the appliance. Ensure children or pets do not
climb into the dryer drum.
• When discarding the old appliance remove the power cord and break the
lock, so that the door can not be locked (safety precautions for children).
•After cleaning replace the condenser to the air channel. Operating the
appliance without the condenser or with a damaged condenser may cause a
re.
• The rear wall of the appliance may be hot - danger of burns.
• Clean lter after each drying. If the lter has been removed, always reinsert it
before the next operation.
• After use always turn the appliance off (the program selection jog should be
in position “0”) and unplug the power cord.
•Close the dryer door prior to pulling out the water container.
• Leave all repairs to a qualied technician. Tampering with the appliance or
damage by an unqualied person may cause accidents or failures. Call your
nearest authorised service centre on 1300 652 100.
• Name plate with technical information about the appliance is located under
the door frame.
• The room must be well aired, surrounding air must not contain dusty
particles.
• The room where the appliance is located must be well aired to prevent back
ow of gasses, released by open re gas appliances (replace).
•The warranty shall not apply to consumables (bulbs), minor discoloration or
deviations of color, increased noise level as a consequence of appliance age,
which does not affect appliance functionality, and aesthetical deciencies
which do not affect appliance functionality or safety.
To minimize the risk of re in a tumble dryer, the following should be
observed:
• Items that have been spotted or soaked with vegetable or cooking oil
constitute a re hazard and should not be placed in a tumble dryer.
Oil-affected items can ignite spontaneously, especially when exposed to
It is not recommended to reduce the
temperature or switch off the heater, as the
drying time will be extended due to poor
condensation of evaporated water.

Warnings

130717
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 re. Piling, stacking or
storing oil affected items can prevent heat from escaping and so create a re
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 rst be washed in hot water with extra detergent - this will reduce, but
not eliminate, the hazard. The ‘cool down’ cycle of tumble dryers should be
used to reduce the temperature of the items. They should not be removed
from the tumble dryer or piled or stacked while hot.
• Items that have been previously cleaned in, washed in, soaked in or spotted
with petrol/gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents or other ammable or explosive
substances should not be placed in a tumble dryer.
Highly ammable substances commonly used in domestic environments
include acetone, denatured alcohol, petrol/gasoline, kerosene, spot removers
(some brands), turpentine, waxes and wax removers.
• Items containing foam rubber (also known as latex foam) or similarly textured
rubber. like materials should not be dried in a tumble dryer on a heat setting.
Foam rubber materials can, when heated, produce re by spontaneous
combustion.
• Fabric softeners or similar products should not be used in a tumble dryer
to eliminate the effects of static electricity unless this practice is specically
recommended by the manufacturer of the fabric softener or product.
• Undergarments that contain metal reinforcements should not be placed in a
tumble dryer.
Damage to the tumble dryer can result if metal reinforcements come loose
during drying. When available a drying rack could be used for such items.
• Plastic articles such as shower caps or babies’ waterproof napkin covers
should not be placed in a tumble dryer.
• Rubber-backed articles, clothes tted with foam rubber pads, pillows,
galoshes and rubber-coated tennis shoes should not be placed in a tumble
dryer.

replaced by the manufacturer or its service
agent or a similarly qualied person in
order to avoid a hazard.
• The appliance should be placed in a position,
where the plug is within reach.
If used with a cord extension device
or portable outlet device, ensure such

Special functions

130717
•Drying is economically most effective if you dry
the recommended quantity of laundry per one
charge (see Page 26 & 27 Program Chart).
• Do not dry laundry made of sensitive bres (wool,
silk), that may shrink or lose shape.
• It is not necessary to use a fabric conditioner
when washing the laundry, as drying makes it soft
and uffy.
•Drying time is much shorter and consequently the
energy consumption lower if laundry is well spun
prior tumble drying (minimum 1000 spin RPM).
• By selecting the most suitable drying program,
you will avoid over-drying and difcult ironing.
• By cleaning the lter on regular basis drying time
is shorter and consumes less energy.
