13. Items that have been soiled with substances such as cooking
oil, acetone, alcohol, petrol, 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 tumble dryer.
14. Items such as foam rubber (latex foam), shower caps,
waterproof textiles, rubber backed articles and clothes or
pillows tted with foam rubber pads should not be dried in the
tumble dryer.
15. WARNING: Never stop a tumble dryer before the end of the
drying cycle unless all items are quickly removed and spread
out so that the heat is dissipated.
16. WARNING: The appliance must not be supplied through an
external switching device, such as a timer, or connected to a
circuit that is regularly switched on and o󰀨 by a utility.
17. Remove all objects from pockets such as lighters and matches.
18. The appliance must not be installed behind a lockable door,
a sliding door, or a door with a hinge on the opposite side to
that of the tumble dryer, in such a way that a full opening of the
tumble dryer door is restricted.
19. Warning: Risk of re / Flammable materials
The appliance contains an environmentally friendly
but ammable R290 refrigerant in the amount of
150g. Keep away from open ame and other sources of ignition.
20. Do not stack this tumble dryer on the washing machine without
stacking kits. (If you want to stack this dryer on a washing
machine, please purchase the independent parts. Installation

similarly qualied persons to avoid any hazards.)
21. Oil-a󰀨ected 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 re. Piling, stacking, or
storing oil-a󰀨ected items can prevent heat from escaping and
so create a re hazard.
