[. . . ] Electrical Connections • Electrical connections must be carried out by a qualified technician in compliance with the manufacturer's instructions and current standard safety regulations. • • • • • • • • Electrical connection must comply with local Electricity Board regulations. Voltage information, power consumption and the required fuse protection is shown on the rating plate mounted at the rear of the dryer. The manufacturer cannot accept any liability for personal injury or damage to property resulting from failure to adhere to these instructions. [. . . ] • Always use the maximum allowed spin speed of your washing machine, since draining the water mechanically requires less energy. • Place your dryer in a room with a temperature between 15° C and 20° C. • Always select the correct programme/drying time for the load in order to obtain the desired drying results. Start with the iron dry programme/drying time setting, remove the laundry to be ironed at the end of that cycle and dry the remainder of the load on the cupboard dry setting. The dryer must be disposed of in compliance with local waste disposal regulations. • Before scrapping, cut off the power cable so that the dryer cannot be connected to the mains. General recommendations: • Always set the programme/time selector knob to the “0” position after use. This prevents the dryer from being switched on accidentally. • Before cleaning or carrying out maintenance, switch off the dryer and disconnect it from the mains supply. • To clean the outside of the dryer, use a neutral detergent and a damp cloth. 12 • • If the lint filter mesh is clogged, clean it with water and a soft brush. Since lint can go through the filter it is necessary to clean, from time to time, the complete filter area (including below the filter) with a brush, a damp cloth or with a vacuum cleaner. If necessary, the power cable may be replaced with an identical one obtained from our After-Sales Service.
