！Warning!
•The electrical safety of this tumble dryer can only be
guaranteed when correctly earthed. It is essential that this
standard safety requirement is met. If in any doubt, please
have the household wiring system tested by a qualified
electrician. The manufacturer cannot be held liable for the
consequences of an inadequate earthing system (e.g. electric
shock).
•Before connecting the tumble dryer, ensure that the
connection parameter on the rating plate (fuse rating, voltage
and frequency) match the mains electricity supply. If in any
doubt, consult a qualified electrician.
•Do not pull the power cord forcefully. Please grasp the mains
plug instead
•Do not plug in or un-plug the mains plug with wet hands.
•Do not bend, clamp or damage the power cord and the power
plug.
•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.
•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 off by a utility.
•Do not connect the appliance to the mains electricity supply
by an extension lead, multi-socket adapter or similar.
•The accessibility of the plug must always be ensured, in order
to disconnect the tumble dryer from the mains.
•If the appliance appears to be over heating or running
abnormally, turn off the appliance and remove the plug

Electric shock hazard

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Danger of Injury
•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 fully opening the tumble
dryer door is restricted.
•Do not disassemble or install the dryer without any instruction
or supervision.
•Do not stack this dryer on a washing machine without stacking
kits. (If you want to stack this dryer on a washing machine,
please purchase the independent parts. Installation shall be
done by the manufacturer, its service agent or similarly
qualified persons to avoid any hazards.)
•Do not lean on the opened door of the dryer.
•Condensed water is not drinking water. It can cause health
problems in both people and animals if consumed.
Danger of damage
•Allow the dryer to stand for a minimum of 4 hours before first
use or after it has been moved as the dryer contains refrigerant
gases.
•Do not operate the dryer without the door filter.
•Do not dry the clothes before being spun.
•Do not expose the dryer to direct sunlight.
•Do not install the dryer in humid and or damp environments.
•While cleaning/performing any maintenance on the appliance,
remember to pull out the power plug and do not directly spray
the dryer with water.
•The appliance should not be overturned during normal use or
maintenance.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
5
•Please do not dry the clothes with any flammable substances
such as kerosene or alcohol. Otherwise, there may be a risk of
an explosion.
•The appliance contains an environmentally friendly but
flammable R290 refrigerant. Keep away from open flame and
other sources of ignition.
•The tumble dryer is not to be used if industrial chemicals
have been used for cleaning.
•Do not dry unwashed items in the tumble dryer.
•Items that have been soiled with substances such as
cooking oil, acetone, alcohol, petrol, kerosene, spot
removers, turpentine, waxes and wax removers etc should
be washed in hot water with an extra amount of detergent
before being dried in the tumble dryer.
•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.
•Fabric softeners, or similar products, should be used as
specified by the fabric softener instructions.
•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.
CAUTION: RISK OF FIRE !
Explosion & danger of fire.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
6
• Piling, stacking or storing oil-affected items can prevent heat
from escaping and so create a fire hazard.
• Remove all objects from pockets such as lighters and
matches.
• 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.
• 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. If this is done and
all clothes are dry the dryer must be allowed to cool by
either allowing it to finish the cycle it is on or by selecting the
10 minute cool cycle. Never just leave the door open as
anyone could then touch the hot inside !!
• Openings must not be obstructed.
• The lint filter has to be cleaned after every load.
• Lint must not to be allowed to accumulate around the tumble
dryer.
