Tips for environmental protection

To save energy and to help protect the environment, 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.

Select the drying programme according to the type of laundry and the required degree of dryness.

•To utilize the maximum load, laundry which is to be dried ready to put away (store dry) can be dried together with items to be ironed. To do this, select the programme for iron-dry, remove the iron-dry items at the end of the programme and then finish-dry the rest of the load.

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

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

Adjusting the level of conductivity

Water contains, a variable quantity of limestone and mineral salts of which quantities vary according to geographical locations thus varying its conductivity values.

Relevant variations of the conductivity of the water compared to those prefixed by the factory could slightly influence the residual humidity of the laundry at the end of the cycle.

Your dryer allows you to regulate the sensitivity of the drying sensor based on conductivity values of the water by using the following procedure.

	Display			Conductivity	Approximative
				degree	value (µS/cm)
	C 0			Low	< 300
	C 0			Medium	300 - 600
	C 0			High	> 600

Normally, the appliance is factory-set to the highest level; however, certain models may be configured differently.

Procedure:

Turn the programme selector dial to switch on the appliance

In selection mode press simultaneously the buttons 3 and 6 until «C0» appears on the digits.

Useful hints

•Try to load to the maximum capacity of the machine as small loads are uneconomical. For information, here is a list of the average weights of some common laundry items.

Sheet	700 - 1000 g
Tablecloth	400	- 500 g
Kitchen towel	70	- 120 g
Table napkin	50	- 100 g
Towelling hand towel	150	- 250 g
Bathrobe	1000 - 1500 g
Man’s shirt	200	- 300 g
Pillowcase	100	- 200 g
Man’s pyjamas	400	- 500 g
Ladies’ nightdress	200	- 250 g

•Never tumble dry the following:

Particularly delicate items such as net curtains, woollen, silk, fabrics with metal trim, nylon tights, bulky materials such as anoraks, blankets, eiderdowns, sleeping bags, feather quilts and any items containing rubber foam or materials similar to rubber foam.

•Always follow the instructions on garment labels:

may be tumble dried

normal drying (high temperature)

delicate drying (low temperature)

do not tumble dry

•Close pillowcases and covers with fasteners to prevent small laundry items getting tangled inside them. Close press studs, zips and hooks and tie belts and apron strings.

•Sort laundry according to type and degree of drying required.

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

•Avoid drying dark clothes with light coloured fluffy items such as towels as they could attract the fluff.

•The laundry must be thoroughly spun before tumble drying.

•Easy-care items, too, e.g. shirts, should be briefly pre-spun before drying (depending on crease resistance approx. 30 seconds or using the special brief spin programme of your washing machine).

•Knitted textiles (knitted underwear) may shrink a little during drying. Please do not overdry items of this type. It is advisable to allow for shrinkage when choosing the size of new purchases.

•You can also put starched items into your dryer. However, to achieve the desired starched effect, choose the programme “iron dry”. To remove any starch residues, wipe out the internal drum after drying with a moist cloth and then rub it dry.

•To avoid a static charge when drying is completed, use either a fabric softener when you are washing the laundry or a fabric conditioner specifically for tumble dryers.

•Remove the laundry when the dryer has finished drying.

•If individual items are still damp after drying, set a brief post-drying time, but at least 30 minutes. This will be necessary particularly for multilayered items (e.g. collars, pockets, etc.).

Maintenance and Cleaning

You must disconnect the appliance from the electricity supply, before you can carry out any cleaning or maintenance work.

External cleaning

Use only soap and water and then dry thoroughly.

Important: do not use methylated spirit, diluents or similar products.

Cleaning the door

Clean periodically the interior part of the door to remove any fluff from the seals around the filter. Accurate cleaning ensures correct drying.

P1150

Cleaning the filters

Your dryer will only function well if the filters are clean.

The filters collect all the fluff which accumulates during drying and they must therefore be cleaned at the end of each programme, before removing the laundry, with a damp cloth.

The light (Filter cleaning) is on to remind you this operation.

P1110

P1151

The filter in the inner door must be removed for cleaning.

Do not be alarmed by the amount of fluff. It is not due to excessive wear caused by the dryer. All fabric loses fluff when drying but it goes un-noticed in the air. In a tumble dryer it simply collects in the filter.

After a while, a withish patina due to detergent residue on laundry forms on the filters. When this occurs, clean the filters with warm water using a brush. Remove the filter in the door opening as per picture (it can be positioned with the tooth facing to the left or to the right).

P1152

Do not use the appliance without filters.

Cleaning the condenser unit

Clean the condenser when light (Condenser cleaning) comes on.

The condenser is situated at the lower part of the cabinet behind a small door. To open the door, push the catch as per picture.

P1153

During the drying cycle or at the end, it is normal for water to be present on the surface of the condenser insertion.

To pull out the condenser, first turn the two red stops downwards and then remove the condenser unit holding it at the handle.

P1154

P1155

ENGLISH

13

125992575 gb-f-p.qxp 2005-07-13 10:13 Page 14

Clean it with a brush and rinse it under the shower if necessary.

P0639

Also clean the outside, removing all fluff.

Clean the rubber seal round the condenser cabinet and in the inner part of the small door with a damp cloth.

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.

Re-fit the condenser, turn the red stops upwards and close the door.

Do not use this appliance if the condenser has not been fitted.

Emptying the water reservoir

Water extracted from the laundry condenses inside the machine and is collected in a reservoir.

The reservoir must be emptied after each drying cycle to ensure efficient operation when the machine is next used. The pilot light (Water reservoir full) reminds you this operation.

Proceed as follows:

•Pull out the reservoir

•Turn it upside down and let water flow down

•Re-fit the reservoir

P1156

P1204

The reservoir must be re-inserted correctly.

If this is not done the pilot light comes on during next drying and the programme stops, leaving the laundry damp. The buzzer will sound.

After emptying and inserting the reservoir the “START/PAUSE” button has to be depressed again to allow the programme to continue.

Handy tip: The condensed water may be used in a steam iron or to top up a battery, etc. In this case it must be filtered (e.g. through a coffee filter).

Cleaning the air intake grille

Using a vacuum cleaner remove the fluff from the air intake grille at the back of the appliance.

P1162

Cleaning the drum

When your laundry does not reach the desired degree of dryness, in other words, when it turns out either too dry or too damp, we advise you to clean the inside of the drum with a cloth soaked with vinegar.

This will eliminate the slight patina that has formed in the drum (due to residues of detergent and softeners used in the washing, and to the lime contained in the water), which prevents the probes from detecting the correct degree of dryness.
