competent person.
• Care must be taken to ensure that the appliance
does not stand on the electrical supply cable.
• If the machine is situated on a carpeted floor, please
adjust the feet in order to allow air to circulate freely.
• This tumble dryer is designed to be vented through to
the open air. It should have its own ventilation system
which should not be joined with any other ventilation

• Clothes which are dripping wet should not be
placed in the dryer.
• Danger of explosion: Never tumble dry items that have
been in contact with inflammable solvents (petrol,
methylated spirits, dry cleaning fluid and the like). As these

Tumble dry only items washed with water.
• Risk of fire: items that have been spotted or soaked
