General safety

• Never place the machine on a carpet-covered
floor, otherwise, lack of airflow beneath
the machine may cause electrical parts to
overheat. This will cause problems with your
machine.
• If the power cable or mains plug is damaged,
you must call Authorised Service Agent for
repair.
• The product should not be plugged in during
installation, maintenance and repair works.
Such works should always be made by the
technical service. Manufacturer shall not
be held responsible for damages arising
from processes carried out by unauthorised
persons.
• Connect the product to a grounded outlet
protected by a fuse of suitable capacity as
stated in the technical specifications table.

between +5°C and +35°C.
• Do not use electrical devices in the product.
• Do not connect the air exit of the product
to the chimney holes which are used for the
exhaust fumes of the devices operating with
gas or other types of fuel.
• You must provide enough ventilation in
order to prevent gases exiting from devices

loading.
• Never operate your dryer without the lint filter
installed.

around the exhaust exit and at adjacent
areas.
• Power cable plug must be within easy reach
after installation.
• Do not use extension cords, multi-plugs
or adaptors to connect the dryer to power
