•Ensure good air ventilation in the room where the
appliance is installed to avoid the backflow of unwanted
gases into the room from appliances burning gas or other
fuels, including open fires.
•WARNING: Do not install the appliance in an environment
with no air exchange.
The appliance contains flammable gas, propane (R290), a
gas with a high level of environmental compatibility. Keep
fire and ignition sources away from the appliance. Be
careful not to cause damage to the refrigerant circuit
containing propane.
•WARNING: In the appliance enclosure or in the built -in
structure, keep ventilation opening clear of obstruction.
•WARNING: Do not damage the refrigerant circuit.
•If the mains power supply cable is damaged, it must be
replaced by the manufacturer, its Authorised Service
Centre or similarly qualified persons to avoid an electrical
hazard.
•Do not exceed the maximum load of 8 kg (refer to the
"Programme chart" chapter).
•Do not use the appliance if items have been soiled with
industrial chemicals.
•Wipe away lint or packaging debris that has accumulated
around the appliance.
•Do not run the appliance without a filter. Clean the lint filter
before or after each use.
•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 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 only be used
as specified by the product manufacturer’s 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. Piling,
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.
•Remove all objects from items that could be a source of
fire ignition such as lighters or matches.
•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.
•Before any maintenance operation, deactivate the
appliance and disconnect the mains plug from the socket.
