3.3 Use

WARNING!

Risk of injury, electric 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

• 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.
