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.
Procedure:
Turn the programme selector dial to switch on the
appliance.
In selection mode press the «Option» button until the
Set Up menu appears on the display.
Press «Change» button to enter in the Set Up menu
and then press the «Option» button sequentially until
the message «Water hardness» appears.
Adjusting the level of
conductivity:
Pressing «Change» button you can choose the
required water hardness degree.
The level of water hardness is indicated by 3 degree

This position on the programme selector dial can be used to freshen the laundry (e.g. to remove a persistent
odour of moth-balls).
Load
It is often difficult to estimate the weight of items to be dried. We therefore recommend that you adopt the
following guidelines:
• cotton, linen: drum full but not too tightly packed;
• synthetics: drum no more than half full;
• delicate fabrics: drum no more than one third full.

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.).

ENGLISH
You must disconnect the appliance from the
electricity supply, before you can carry out any
cleaning or maintenance work.
External cleaning
Use water with a little mild washing-up liquid added
rinse 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.
Regular cleaning ensures correct drying.
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 «Please clean
filters» message appears on the display to remind
you to carry out this operation
.
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
looses fluff when drying but it goes un-noticed in the
air. In a tumble dryer it simply collects in the filter.
Maintenance and Cleaning
After a while, a whitish 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).
Do not use the appliance without filters.
Cleaning the condenser unit
Clean the air condenser when the «Please clean
condenser» message appears on the display.
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.
During the drying cycle or at the end, it is normal
for water to be present on the surface of the
condenser.
To pull out the condenser, first turn the two red
stops downwards as shown below and then remove
the condenser unit holding it at the handle.

Clean it with a brush and rinse it under the shower if
necessary.
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 message «The tank is full, please empty»
written on the display reminds you to do this.
Proceed as follows:
• Pull out the reservoir
• Turn it upside down and let water flow down
• Re-fit the reservoir
The reservoir must be re-inserted correctly.
If this is not done the same message comes on
during next drying and the programme stops,
leaving the laundry damp. The buzzer will sound.
After inserting the reservoir the START/PAUSE
button has to be pressed 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 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.
