125980461_1.qxp 2004-10-11 11:31 Page 6 Safety instructions Child safety • Children are often not aware of how dangerous electrical appliances can be. When the machine is working, they should be carefully supervised and not be allowed to play with the appliance - there is a risk that they could become trapped inside. • The packaging components (e.g. plastic film, polystyrene) can be dangerous to children - danger of suffocation! Keep them out of children’s reach.
125980461_1.qxp 2004-10-11 11:31 Page 7 Proper use • For safety reasons, the appliance must not be modified. • This appliance is designed for domestic use only. If the dryer is used for any other purposes or is not used correctly, the manufacturer accepts no responsibility for any possible damage that might occur. • Dry only items that have been washed with water. Never dry items that have been in contact with inflammable solvents (petrol, methylated spirits, dry cleaning fluid and the like).
125980461_1.qxp 2004-10-11 11:31 Page 8 Discarding Packaging materials Dispose of your tumble dryer’s packaging materials correctly. All materials are environmentally friendly and can be disposed of without any danger. The plastic parts can be reused: • The external plastic cover and the bags inside are made of polyethylene (>PE<). • The padding is made of CFC free polystyrene foam (>PS<=). Cartons are made of recycled paper and should be disposed of in paper collection containers.
125980461_1.qxp 2004-10-11 11:31 Page 9 Tips for environmental protection • During washing, try not to use fabric softeners! If the laundry is machine dried, it will remain soft even without using fabric softeners. • Shake out your laundry! Shake out the laundry before putting it into the dryer in order to reduce the drying time and creasing. • Spin the laundry properly before drying it! As a general rule, the more the laundry is spun, the more economically your dryer works.

You must disconnect the appliance from the electricity supply, before you can carry out any cleaning or maintenance work. External cleaning Use only soap and water and then dry thoroughly. Important: do not use methylated spirit, diluents or similar products. Cleaning the door Clean periodically the interior part of the door to remove any fluff from the seals around the filter.
125980461_1.qxp 2004-10-11 11:31 Page 21 Cleaning and care The filter in the inner door must be removed for cleaning. Do not be alarmed by the amount of fluff. It is not due to excessive wear caused by the dryer. All fabric looses fluff when drying but it goes un-noticed in the air. In a tumble dryer it simply collects in the filter. If necessary the filters can be cleaned under running water using a brush.
