1.3 Dryer Safety
Failure to follow these safety instructions
could damage the dryer or your clothes.
You may then not be covered by
warranty for this damage.
Only plug this appliance directly into
an AC power supply, which is properly
earthed and has the correct voltage.
See the serial number sticker located on
the bottom of the door opening for voltage
information.
CAUTION :
if this appliance is supplied from a cord
extension set or electrical portable
outlet device, the cord extension set or
electrical portable outlet device must
be positioned or that it is not subject to
splashing or ingress of moisture.
For Safety reasons we strongly advise
against the use of double adaptor,
extension cords or power boards.
IMPORTANT:
• If the electrical cord of this appliance
is damaged, it must be replaced by
the Manufacturer, Authorised Service
Agent or similarly qualied person in
order to avoid a hazard.
• These dryers are for drying clothes,
towels and linen at home. Do not
use them for any other purpose.
• Lint must not be allowed to
accumulate around the tumble
dryer.
• Do not dry unwashed items in the
tumble dryer.
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.
1.2 Child Safety
• This 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.
• Childen should be supervised to ensure that they do
not play with the appliance.
• The packaging components (e.g. plastic lm,
polystyrene) can be dangerous to children - danger of
su󰀨ocation! Keep them out of children’s reach.
• Make sure that children or pets do not climb into the
drum.

1.4 Fire Hazards
Some fabrics are not suitable for tumble
drying. The following MUST NOT be
placed in your dryer due to the risk of a
fire or an explosion:
• Items that have been spotted or soaked
with vegetable oil, cooking oil, suntan
oil, linseed oil, salad oil, lubrication oil,
or grease. 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 heat cannot
escape, the items can become hot
enough to ignite. Pilling, stacking, or
storing oil-affected items can prevent
heat from escaping and 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.
The final part of the tumble dryer cycle
occurs without heat (The cooling cycle)
to ensure that the items are left at the
temperature that ensures that the items
will not be damaged.
• An item that has previously been
cleaned in washed in, or spotted with
petrol/gasoline, industrial chemicals
used only for cleaning, dry-cleaning
solvents or other ammable or
explosive substances are highly
ammable. Highly ammable or
explosive commonly found around
the house include acetone, (nail
polish remover) denatured alcohol,
petrol/gasoline, kerosene, some spot
removers, turpentine, waxes, and wax
removers should not be put in the
dryer. Items containing foam rubber
(also known as latex foam) or similarly
textured rubber-like materials. Foam
rubber materials can produce re
by spontaneous combustion when
heated.
• Rubber-backed articles, clothes tted
with foam rubber pads, pillows, rubber
boots, and rubber-coated sports
shoes.
For your safety, and to reduce the risk of
fire or an explosion, DO NOT store or
use petrol or other flammable vapors
and liquids near your dryer.
1.5 Cleaning The Lint Filter
LINT BUILD-UP IS A FIRE HAZARD
A clean lint filter reduces drying times, saves
energy and avoids overheating. Overheating
may also damage your clothes.
What happens If I forget to clean the lint
filter ?

• Baby clothes and night gowns -
acrylic clothing or sleepwear use only
on the “Iron” setting.
• Rubber and plastics - Do not dry any
items made from or containing rubber
or plastics, such as aprons, bibs,
babies’ waterproof napkins, curtains,
tablecloths, shower caps, clothes
tted with foam rubber pads, pillows,
galoshes, or rubber-coated tennis
shoes.
• Fiberglass - not recommended, glass
particles left in the dryer could be
picked up by your clothes the next time
you use the dryer and irritate your skin.
Fabric softeners or similar products
should not be used in a tumble dryer to
eliminate the effects of static electricity
unless this practic is specifically
recommended by the manufacturer of
the fabric softener or product.
: We strongly advise against the
use of fabric conditioners of the sheet
type that are added to the clothes in
the drum. These products may lead to
rapid blockage of the lint filter and
inefficient operation of your dryer.
Ensure the lint filter “Clicks” when
replacing.
• Never operate your dryer without the
lint lter.
• Do not allow lint to build around your
dryer.
• A torn or damaged lint lter must be
replaced immediately.
• Overloading can increase lint build-up
because the airow is reduced.
To avoid potential fire hazards, we
recommend that you pay a qualified
service technician to periodically
clean your dryer. You must do this
also when you change your mounting
from upright the inverted, or vice
versa.

Operating Sequence
Step 1
Load your dryer loosely until it is no
more than TWO THIRD FULL. Clothes
must tumble freely in a dryer. Don’t cram
them in. Wet clothes fluff up when dry.
Overloading will :
• Reduce e󰀩ciency.
• Increase drying time.
• Increases the risk of creasing
Do not load clothes or other
articles which are dripping wet or
have sand and grit on them into
your dryer.
Step 2
SWITCH ON
The dryer will not operate unless the
door is completely closed.
NOTES
For best results we recommend to
sort out your laundry
• Do not select the “Extra Dry” option
for delicate fabrics such polyester as
shrinking may occur.
• To obtain the best drying results with
small loads it is recommended to use
“Time drying” program.
4. USE
Step 3
Turn the Program Selector knob to
choose the drying program you want.
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.
Reversing Action
The drum is designed to rotate in both
direction, clockwise and anti-clockwise.
This reduces tangling and gives more
even drying in a shorter time.
Step 4
Turn the Program Selector knob to “OFF”
When you have finished using the dryer
to turn off the power, then switch off at
the power point. It is recommended to
power off the appliance when not in use.
Step 5
Clean Lint Filter
After every load clean the lint filter
to reduce drying time and avoid
overheating.
