• Do not put flammable products or items
that are wet with flammable products in,
near or on the appliance.
• The users should always check that they
have not left their gas lighters (disposa-
ble or otherwise) in their clothing.
• Never tumble dry items that have had
contact with chemicals such as dry clean-
ing fluid. These are of a volatile nature
and could cause an explosion. Only tum-
ble dry items which have been washed in
water or require airing.
• Do not dry items that have been in con-
tact with inflammable solvents or cooking
oil.
• If you have washed your laundry with a
stain remover start an extra rinse cycle
before you start the dryer.
• Do not dry not washed items in the appli-
ance.
• Do not touch the glass of the door while a
programme operates. The glass can be
hot.
• Plastic detergent dispensers should not
remain in the drum during the drying cy-
cle, as the plastic used is not designed to
withstand the heat. If you wish to wash-
through-to-dry you should use the con-
ventional detergent dispenser drawer.
• If you stop the appliance before the end
of the drying cycle, immediately remove
and spread out all items, so that the heat
can dissipate.
• The water we use normally contains lime.
It is a good idea to periodically use a
water softening powder in the appliance.
Do this without any laundry into the drum
and according to the softening powder
manufacturer’s instructions. This will help
to prevent the formation of lime deposits
making your appliance more efficiency.
• Never pull the power supply cable to re-
move the plug from the socket; always
take hold of the plug itself.
• Never use the appliance if the power
supply cable, the control panel, the work-
ing surface or the base is damaged so
that the inside of the appliance is accessi-
ble.
Water inlet
• This appliance must be connected to a
cold water supply.
• Do not use connection hoses from an old
appliance to connect it to the water sup-
ply.
• The water pressure must be in the limits
(refer to the chapter «Technical data» ta-
ble). Make sure that the local water au-
thority gives you the average mains pres-
sure in your area.
• Make sure that there are no kinks in the
water inlet hose and that the water inlet
hose is not squashed or entangled.
• Before connecting up the appliance to
new pipework or to pipework that has
not been used for some time, run off a
reasonable amount of water to flush out
any debris that may have collected in the
pipes.
• Turn the inlet hose on the back of the ap-
pliance to the left or the right to suit the
installation.
• The inlet hose must not be lengthened. If
it is too short and you do not wish to
move the tap, you will have to purchase a
new, longer hose specially designed for
this type of use.
• Before opening the water tap, be sure to
tighten the ring nut well to prevent any
leaks.
Water drainage
• Make sure the end of the drain hose can-
not come unhooked when the appliance
is emptying. This could be done by tying
it to the tap with a piece of string or at-
taching it to the wall.
• The drain hose must be placed at a
height of not less than 44 cm and not
more than 90 cm. Please refer to the As-
sembly Instruction booklet.
Care and cleaning
• Before maintenance, switch off the appli-
ance and disconnect the mains plug from
the mains socket.
• Clean the exterior cabinet of the appli-
ance with soap and water only, and then
dry thoroughly.
