Safety instructions Read the operating instructions and keep them in a safe place! • Clean the inside of the dryer cabinet regularly. WARNING!

Safety instructions To minimize the risk of fire in a dryer cabinet, the following should be observed: • Items that have been spotted or soaked with vegetable or cooking oil constitute a fire hazard and should not be placed in a dryer cabinet. Oil-affected items can ignite spontaneously, especially when exposed to heat sources such as in a dryer cabinet. The items become warm, causing an oxidation reaction in the oil. Oxidation creates heat.
