3.3 Use

WARNING!

Risk of injury, electrical

shock, fire, burns or damage

to the appliance.

• Do not dry the damaged items which

contain padding or fillings.

• Only dry fabrics which are applicable

to dry in the tumble dryer. Follow the

instructions on the fabric label.

• If you have washed your laundry with

a stain remover start an extra rinse

cycle before you start the dryer.

• Do not drink or prepare food with the

condensed water/distilled water. It

can cause health problems to people

and pets.

• Do not sit or stand on the open door.

• Do not dry dripping wet clothes in the

tumble dryer.

• 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.

3.4 Internal light

WARNING!

Risk of injury.

• Visible LED radiation, do not look

directly into the beam.

• The LED lamp is dedicated to drum

lighting. This lamp cannot be reused

for other lighting purposes.

• Clean the appliance with a moist soft

cloth. Only use neutral detergents. Do

not use any abrasive products,

abrasive cleaning pads, solvents or

• To prevent damage to the cooling

system be careful when you clean the

appliance.

3.6 Compressor
