To avoid unnecessary mistakes and accidents, it is important to ensure that all people using the dryer are thoroughly familiar with its operation and safety features. Save these instructions and make sure they remain with the tumble dryer if it is moved or sold, so that everyone using it through its life can be properly informed on appliance use and safety. Installation and servicing G During use G All installation and service work done on the product must be carried out by a qualified technician. Work performed by persons with inadequate knowledge may adversely affect the satisfactory functioning of the product and may cause personal injury or damage. [. . . ] The higher the spin speed, the faster your tumble dryer will dry the load and the more energyefficient the whole process will be. Even permanent press garments such as shirts should be spun for 10 to 30 seconds before tumble drying. Items which should not be tumble dried Items which are especially delicate, such as curtains of synthetic fabric, woollen garments, silk, textiles with a metal component, nylon socks/stockings. Garments made mostly from foam rubber or rubber-like materials must NOT be dried in the tumble dryer. Obviously, you must not dry garments in the machine which are unsuitable for tumble drying. These are usually labelled with this symbol. Garments which have been treated with flammable liquids (benzine, alcohol, stain removal products) should not be dried in the tumble dryer on account of the risk of fire. Always follow the recommendations of the garment/item manufacturer. Tumble drying beneficial Dry flat Getting the load size right An overloaded tumble dryer will cause creasing. Drying loads which are too small is uneconomical. Fluff The first time you use the tumble dryer, you will probably be surprised at the amount of fluff produced. This is perfectly normal, and does not mean that your tumble dryer is wearing out your clothes. When garments are worn and washed by hand or machine, fibres and fluff are released, but remain on the surface of the material. If dried outdoors on a line these fibres will be blown away by the wind. In a tumble dryer the fluff is collected in the filter and accumulates through the drying process. This is very significant to those who suffer from asthma or allergies. Shrinkage Depending on their quality, tricot fabrics in particular vary considerably in their tendency to shrink. To avoid shrinking, garments should not be overdried. Where it occurs, shrinkage can sometimes be rectified by stretching. We recommend that you bear possible shrinkage in mind when choosing the size of new tricot garments. -7- Program chart The programs can be divided into two types: automatic programs and timed programs. The automatic programs (A ­ D) switch off the tumble dryer when the load has been dried to the extent required. The timed programs are for special requirements or finishing drying individual items. Using these, the dryer will continue to dry through the time you have set, unless the load is dry before that time has elapsed. When the load is dry the program switches automatically to a cool-down stage of 9 minutes. First make quite sure that the drum contains nothing other than the load of laundry before restarting the dryer by pressing the start button. -9- Maintenance The filters For your tumble dryer to function correctly, the filters need to be cleaned before or after every load dried.

The various plastics used are identified and can be recycled: · PE stands for polyethylene, which is used for the bag around the dryer and the bag in which these instructions were supplied. · PS stands for (moulded) polystyrene, which is used for the sections of packaging needed to cushion the dryer. The cardboard components of the packaging are made from recyclable paper and should be taken to a collection point for recycling. - 14 - Installation Positioning You can install this dryer in a number of different ways.
