Service
Heat Pump System
GB
This dryer is fitted with a sealed heat pump system to dry
your clothes. To operate, the heat pump contains fluorinated
greenhouse gases ( F gases) which are covered by the Kyoto
Protocol. These F gases are contained in a hermetically
sealed unit. This sealed unit contains
R134a which acts as a refrigerant. GWP = 1430 (0.4 t C02).
If the sealed unit fails then it must be replaced by a new
sealed unit. Contact your nearest service centre for advise.
Note: The gases contained in the sealed unit are not
hazardous to health, but if they escape they will have an
impact on global warming.
Before calling the Service Centre:
• Use the troubleshooting guide to see if you can solve the
problem yourself (see Troubleshooting).
• If not, turn off the dryer and call the Service Centre closest to
you.
