• Do not dry in this appliance items such
as foam rubber (latex foam), shower
caps, waterproof textiles (if there is no
special drying programme), rubber
backed articles and clothes or pillows fit-
ted with foam rubber pads.
• Oil-affected items can ignite spontane-
ously, especially when exposed to heat
sources such as in a drying programme.
The items become warm, causing an oxi-
dation reaction in the oil. Oxidation cre-
ates 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 so create a fire hazard.
If you can not avoid that you dry fabrics
that contain vegetable or cooking oil or
products contaminated by hair care, first
wash them in hot water with extra deter-
gent - this will reduce, but not eliminate,
the hazard.
The final part of the drying programme
occurs without heat (cool down cycle) to
ensure that the items are left at a temper-
ature that ensures that items will not be
damaged.
• Do not install the appliance behind a
lockable door, a sliding door, a door with
a hinge on the opposite side in such a
way that a full opening of the door is re-
stricted.
• Fabric softener or equivalent products
must be used as specified by the fabric
softener manufacturer.
• Obey the safety instructions on the deter-
gent packaging to prevent burns to eyes,
mouth and throat.
• Plastic items are not heat resistant.
– If you use a detergent ball, remove it
before you set the drying programme.
– Do not use a detergent ball when you
set a non-stop programme.
Warning! Risk of explosion or fire.
• Do not put flammable products or items
that are wet with flammable products in,
near or on the appliance. if it is not possi-
ble to avoid it, fully rinse with extra water
items cleaned with flammable products.
• To prevent from the risk of self combus-
tion do not stop the drying programme
before the end of the drying cycle unless
all items are quickly removed and spread
out so that the heat is dissipated.
Warning! Risk of burns!
• When you interrupt the drying pro-
gramme, the laundry and the drum may
be hot. Remove the laundry carefully.
