Child Safety; Operation And Maintenance - Inventum VDW9001B Mode D'emploi

• Items that have been soiled with substances such as cooking oil, acetone, alcohol, petrol,
kerosene, spot removers, turpentine, waxes and wax removers should be washed in hot
water with an extra amount of detergent before being dried in the tumble dryer.
• Items such as foam rubber (latex foam), shower caps, waterproof textiles, rubber backed articles
and clothes or pillows fitted with foam rubber pads should not be dried in the tumble dryer.
• Oil-affected items can ignite spontaneously, especially when exposed to heat sources such as
in a tumble dryer. The items become warm, causing an oxidation reaction in the oil. Oxidation
creates 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.
• Remove all objects from pockets such as lighters and matches.
• If it is unavoidable that fabrics containing vegetable or cooking oil or having been
contaminated by hair care products are placed in a tumble dryer, these items should first be
washed in hot water with extra detergent. This will reduce, but not eliminate, the hazard.
• WARNING: Never stop a tumble dryer before the end of the drying cycle, unless all items
are quickly removed and spread out so that the heat is dissipated.
• Openings must not be obstructed.
• The dryer filter has to be cleaned frequently.
• Lint must not to be allowed to accumulate around the tumble dryer.

CHILD SAFETY

• Before closing the appliance door and running the programme, make sure there is nothing
except laundry in the drum (e.g. check if a child or animal climbed into the drum of the
appliance).
• Do not let children aged 3 years and under come near the appliance, unless they are under
constant supervision.
• This appliance may be used by children aged 8 years and above and by persons with reduced
physical, sensory or mental capabilities or lack of experience and knowledge, provided they are
supervised or have been given instructions concerning the use of the appliance in a safe way and
understand the hazards of inappropriate use. Children are not allowed to play with the appliance.
• The appliance may not be cleaned or maintained by children, unless this is done under
supervision.
• Children should be supervised, to prevent them from playing with the appliance.
• Do not climb or sit on the appliance.
• The appliance is made in compliance with all relevant safety standards.
• Remove the door or deactivate the lock when disposing of the appliance. Children are
known to have gotten themselves locked in old appliances. To prevent such a situation,
break the door lock of your appliance and tear off the electrical cables.

OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE

Only use the appliance for drying laundry as described in the instruction manual.
The machine is not intended for dry cleaning.
• The dryer uses a heat pump system to heat the air.
The system consists of a compressor and a heat exchanger. When the dryer is started,
compressor operation (the sound of flowing liquid) or flow of refrigerant may be louder
as long as the compressor operates. This is not a sign of malfunction and it will not affect
useful life of the dryer. In time and with use of the dryer this noise will become quieter.
• Only use products specifically designed for drying laundry. Inventum will not be responsible
for any damages or discolouration of gaskets and plastic parts resulting from incorrect use
