• Fabric softeners, or similar products, should be used as specified by
the fabric softener instructions.
• Remove all objects from pockets such as lighters and matches.
• Never stop the appliance before the end of the drying cycle unless all
items are quickly removed and spread out so that the heat is
dissipated.
• The appliance is not to be used if industrial chemicals have been used
for cleaning.
• Items that have been soiled with substances such as cooking oil,
vegetable oil, acetone, alcohol, petroleum, kerosene, spot removers,
turpentine, waxes and wax removers should be washed in hot water
with an extra amount of detergent before being dried in the
appliance.
• Do not drink the condensed water. Failure to do so may result in food-
borne illnesses.
• If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the
manufacturer or its service agents or similarly qualified person in
order to avoid a hazard.
• The lint filter must be cleaned frequently.
• Lint must not to be allowed to accumulate around the appliance.
• Do not spray dry cleaning detergent directly onto the appliance or

could result in fire. Clothes not removed from the appliance after
drying could result in fire. Remove clothes immediately after drying,
and then hang or lay the clothes flat to cool.
• 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 create 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 so 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.
• This appliance is intended to be used in household only.
