Important Safety Information

It is most important that this instruction book should be retained with the appliance for future reference. Should the appliance be sold or transferred to another owner, or should you move house and leave the appliance, always ensure that the book is supplied with the appliance in order that the new owner can get to know the functioning of the appliance and the relevant warnings.

These warnings have been provided in the interest of safety. You MUST read them carefully before installing or using the appliance.

Installation

This appliance is heavy. Care should be taken when moving it.

It is dangerous to alter the specifications or attempt to modify this product in any way.

Any electrical work required to install this appliance should be carried out by a qualified electrician or competent person.

Care must be taken to ensure that the appliance does not stand on the electrical supply cable.

If the machine is situated on a carpeted floor, please adjust the feet in order to allow air to circulate freely.

If the tumble dryer is placed on top of a washing machine, it is compulsory to use the stacking kit (optional accessory).

Child Safety

This appliance is designed to be operated by adults. Children should not be allowed to tamper with the controls or play with the product.

Pets and children have been known to climb into tumble dryers. Please check your drum before use.

Keep all packaging well away for children.

Use

Do not overload the appliance (see programme chart).

Clothes which are dripping wet should not be placed in the dryer.

As some bulky items such as duvets and eiderdowns should be dried in large commercial machines because of their bulk, check with the manufacturer of the item if it is suitable for drying in a domestic machine, even if the dry weight of the item is within the limit advised.

Do not dry canvas shoes or sports shoes, as they could get stuck between the door and the drum, thus blocking this latter.

Please make sure that no gas lighters have accidentally been left in pockets of garments to be loaded into appliance.

Danger of explosion: Never tumble dry items that have been in contact with inflammable solvents (petrol, methylated spirits, dry cleaning fluid and the like). As these substance are volatile, they could cause an explosion. Tumble dry only items washed with water.

In order to avoid danger of fires caused by excessive drying, do not use appliance to dry the following items:

Cushions, quilts and the like (these items accumulate heat).

Items containing rubber foam or materials similar to rubber foam.

Leave the door slightly ajar when the appliance is not being used. This will allow the seal to be preserved.

Clean fluff filter after using tumble dryer. To prevent fire risks, do not use the appliance if the fluff filter is damaged or without filter.

Under no circumstances should you attempt to repair the machine yourself. Repairs carried out by inexperienced persons may cause injury or serious malfunctioning. Contact your local Zanussi Service Centre. Always insist on genuine Zanussi spare parts.

Your New Tumble Dryer

This tumble dryer will give your wash that soft, relaxed feel whatever the weather.

Extremely high quality standards both during development and manufacturing guarantee a long service life for your appliance.

Maximum economy in the operation of your dryer is achieved through very frugal electricity consumption and short drying times.

Energy saving tips

To save energy we recommend that you follow these hints:

Try to load the maximum capacity of the machine as small loads are uneconomical.

Always load well spun laundry. The higher the spin speed, the lower the electricity consumption and the shorter the drying times.

Do not over-dry laundry, this avoids creasing and saves energy.

Clean the filter regularly to avoid excessive drying times and high electricity consumption.

Ventilate the room well. The room temperature should not exceed +35°C during drying.

In the interest

of the environment

Materials marked with the symbol are recyclable.

Check with your local Council or Environmental Health Office to see if there are facilities in your area for re-cycling this appliance.

When the appliance is to be scrapped, cut off the power supply cable and make the door closing device unusable to prevent young children from being trapped inside.

Help to keep your country tidy - use authorised disposal sites for your old appliance.

How do we help to protect the environment? We use recycled paper!
