IMPORTANT INFORMATION ON USING THE TUMBLE DR YER
21
ENGLISH
Sort and prepare laundry before
drying
Sort laundry to be dried according to fabric type (see
label on each item) and desired degree of dryness.
Close all zips and tie all strings. Close pillowcases and
quilt covers to prevent small items from getting
tangled inside them.
Never tumble dry the following:
■
Particularly delicate items such as synthetic
curtains, silk and nylon stockings.
■
Items containing rubber foam or materials similar
to rubber foam.
■
Woollens or mixed-wool garments, as these will
shrink and felt.
Do not tumble dry items treated with
inflammable liquids (petrol, methylated
spirits, dry cleaning fluid) to avoid fire risks.
Starched fabrics
Starched fabrics may also be dried in this appliance.
To obtain the best results, select ‘iron dry’ drying time
with residual dampness. When the cycle has been
completed, clean tumble dryer drum with a damp
cloth and then with a dry cloth in order to remove any
remaining starch.
Shrinking
Some items (such as shirts and the like) may easily
shrink to a greater or lesser extent. This is due to the
fact that these items are ‘suspended’ inside the tumble
dryer, as opposed to being hung on a washing line to
dry, which is usually the case.
Do not over-dry these items. Select ‘iron dry’ drying
time for these items.
What is fluff?
When you begin to use your tumble dryer, you will be
surprised at the amount of fluff that accumulates in the
fluff filter.
This is perfectly normal and does not mean that the
tumble dryer is damaging the laundry being dried.
When the tumble dryer is being used, as well as when
items are washed by hand or in a washing machine,
fibres and fluff are released by any laundry item and
adhere to its surface. This also happens when fabrics
are hung out to dry in outdoor environments. In a
tumble dryer fibres and fluff accumulate in the fluff
filter and increase in volume because of the heat
inside the appliance.
Time and energy consumption
Energy consumption and drying times vary according
to the quantity, residual dampness after spinning, size
and nature of the fabrics being dried and the degree of
dryness.
If the appliance is overloaded, mediocre drying results
will be obtained and the laundry will be creased.
In order to reduce energy consumption and drying
times, it is necessary to spin the laundry adequately.
The use is recommended of a washing machine
capable of spinning laundry at a speed of 800 rpm or
more.
Garments which are not ironed, such as shirts, must
also be spun for 10 - 30 seconds before they are dried
in the tumble dryer.
How much does dry laundry weigh?
Please use the following values to load the appliance
correctly. These values refer to cotton garments:
Approximate weight in grammes
Bathrobes...............................................................1200
Quilt covers..............................................................700
Sheets.......................................................................500
Handtowels, pillowcases..........................................200
Shirts, night-gowns..................................................200

MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING
22
Cleaning fluff filter
Clean fluff filter located on the inside part of the door
after every drying programme.
Proceed as follows:
■
Pull filter upwards in order to remove it.
Remove fluff from filter by hand or with a damp
cloth.
Place filter in original position.
Emptying water container
Water extracted from the laundry being dried is
collected in a special container. This container must
be emptied after every cycle, but it can also be
emptied during the drying cycle. Should you forget to
empty the container, a light will light up on the panel
and the drying cycle will stop automatically even if
the laundry is not dry yet. Insert container correctly.
Cleaning tumble dryer
The external part of the appliance, the control panel,
the drum, its plastic and rubber surfaces may be
cleaned with a damp cloth and neutral washing-up
liquid.
Cleaning inside part of drum
Should a film of limescale build up on the drum after
a while, remove it with a damp cloth and a limescale
remover.
ATTENTION! Do not use solvents or abrasive
substances.
Cleaning condenser
Remove fluff from condenser on a regular basis to
avoid prolonging drying times and increasing energy
consumption.
Proceed as follows:
1. Remove condenser by using the top handle.
2. Clean condenser with a hand-held shower or a soft
brush.
3. Clean external part, too.
4. Leave condenser to dry; when it is dry, place in
original position.
Important! Do not use pointed objects or utensils to
clean the spaces between the plates, as this could
damage the condenser and make it permeable.
Do not use this appliance if the condenser has not
been fitted.

Important information regarding
installation
■
Hot air emitted by the appliance may reach
temperatures of up to 60°C. Therefore, do not
place appliance on floors which are not resistant to
high temperatures.
■
Make sure that the temperature of the room in
which the appliance is installed does not exceed
35°C. Excessive room temperature will prolong
drying times and cause energy consumption to
increase.
■
Please keep space surrounding tumble dryer as
clean as possible.
■
Do not remove the appliance’s adjustable feet. It is
essential to provide a certain amount of space
between the floor and the appliance for ventilation
purposes. Blocking ventilation would inevitably
cause the appliance’s inside temperature to
increase and would therefore affect the appliance’s
efficiency.

The tumble dryer comes with cable and plug for 230V
single phase 10 A connections. Permanent installation
of the appliance in humid environments, such as
bathrooms, must be carried out in full compliance
with the relevant laws and regulations. Permanent
electrical connections must be carried out by qualified
personnel only.
Stacking Kit (optional accessory)
This tumble dryer may be stacked on a front-loading
washing machine. However, the tumble dryer will
have to be fixed to the washing machine. For this to be
carried out, the special stacking kit (available from all
Zanussi Authorised Dealers) will be required.
Connecting a drain hose
If there is a sink or drain near the appliance, the
condensed water can be discharged directly through a
hose that is available on the market.
In order to connect the hose to the appliance proceed
as follows:
■
Remove the clamp (A)
■
Pull out the plug (B)
■
Insert the drain hose (C)
■
Fasten the hose (C) to the appliance using the
