Important safety information
Warning against electric shock
• Do not attempt to repair the dryer yourself. Repairs should only be undertaken by
authorised service agents.
• Never wash the dryer with water.
Warning against possible explosions
• Do not place combustible materials such as petrol, alcohol or thinners near or in the
dryer. Do not dry fabrics which have been soaked with or exposed to these materials.
• Do not operate the dryer if a gas leak or a combustible liquid spill has occurred nearby.
Warning against fire
• Empty pockets of cigarette lighters and matches.
• Do not attempt to dry cushions or quilts as these will accumulate excessive heat.
• Do not dry unwashed fabrics. Fabrics must be damp before drying them.
• Garments bolstered with rubber foam (latex foam), shower caps, water resistant
textiles, materials with rubber reinforcement and rubber foam pads should not be dried
in the dryer.
• Do not locate the dryer on a carpeted floor, as this may inhibit free air circulation
under the dryer.
Warning against personal injury
• Do not touch the laundry drum until the dryer stops operating.
• Check the drum before closing the door. Pets and children have been known to climb
inside.
General safety instructions
• The dryer is designed for domestic use only and it should be used for no other purpose
other than that for which it was designed.
• Follow the drying instructions on garment care labels. Do not overload the dryer.
• Remove any coins, pins, screws, stones or sharp objects from clothing before placing
them in the dryer.
• Underwear that contains metal reinforcements should not be placed in the dryer.
Damage to the dryer can result if the metal reinforcements come loose during drying.
• Do not sit or stand on the dryer nor place heavy objects on top as deformation of the
control panel and plastic components could occur.
• Always clean the lint filter before or after each drying cycle. Never operate your dryer
without the lint filter installed.
• Do not allow fibres, dust and dirt to accumulation around the exhaust outlet and
adjacent areas.
• Unplug the dryer and keep the door closed when it is not in use.
• The final part of the drying cycle includes a cool down period to minimise creasing
and to ensure that fabrics are de-stressed.
