Always check the inside of the drum before closing the door and/or switching
on the appliance. Ensure that small children or pets have not climbed into the
drum.

Please note that the final part of the drying cycle is carried out without heat,
thus allowing the items to cool slightly so that they can be removed from the

exceed 8kg. Overloading of the appliance may pose a fire risk.
