SAFETY INFORMATION

7. 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.
8. Items such as foam rubber (latex foam), shower caps, waterproof textiles, rubber backed articles and
clothes or pillows fitted with foam rubber pads should not be dried in the tumble dryer.
9. Fabric softeners, or similar products, should be used as specified by the fabric softener instructions.
10. The final part of a tumble dryer cycle occurs without heat (cool down cycle) to ensure that the items are
left at a temperature that ensures that the items will not be damaged.
11. The lint trap has to be cleaned frequently.
12. The lint must not to be allowed to accumulate around the tumble dryer.
13. Adequate ventilation has to be provided to avoid the back flow of gases into the room from appliance
burning other fuels, including open fires.
14. 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.
15. The exhaust air must not be discharged into a flue which is used for exhausting fumes from appliance
burning gas or other fuels.
16. 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.
17. Keep pets away from this appliance.
18. 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 creates
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.
19. 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.
20. The appliance should not be overturned during normal use or maintenance.
21. Remove all objects from pockets such as lighters and matches.
22. If the power cable is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent or similarly
qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard.
23. This appliance is for indoor use only.
24. The openings must not be obstructed by a carpet.
25. Children of less than 3 years should be kept away unless continuously supervised.
26. If the appliance appears high temperature abnormally, please draw the mail plug immediately.
27. The appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory
or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision
or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety. Children
should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
