Dear customer,

Please read these operating instructions carefully and pay particular attention to the safety notes indicated in
the first pages.

We recommend that you keep this instruction booklet for future reference and pass it on to any future owners.

The Laundry Center is a system composed of a Tumble Dryer and a Washing Machine that can

exchange and manage information through a radio frequency link.

In many countries there is a limit to the total electric power available for using two appliances at the

same time. When you need to wash and dry more than one load in one evening there is a need for a

washing machine and a tumble dryer that can work together.

The signal appliance can work alone like a traditional one, but if you activate the Laundry Center

System it offers you many advantage:

It controls and optimizes the electric power consumption;

You avoid having to start the second appliance when the first one has finished because the System

manages this; giving the priority to the machine started before;

You save time by running the appliances partially simultaneously (e.g. only one appliance a time is going

through a heating phase.

The System offers more to the users to make easier the use of the dryer. A special drying programme

fetches information from the washing machine about the last completed washing programme. You have

only to chose the desired degree of dampness and press start.

Transport damages

After unpacking the machine please check it is not damaged. If in doubt, do not start it but contact your local
Service Centre.

The symbols you will see on some paragraphs of this booklet have the following meaning:

The warning triangle emphasize information that is particularly important for your safety or correct func­tioning of the appliance.

The information marked with this symbol provides additional instructions and practical tips on the use
of the appliance.

Tips and information about economical and ecological use of the machine are marked with this symbol.

Our contribution to the protection of the envi-

ronment: we use recycled paper.

TIMELINE

AUTOREVERSE 6 kg

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 finish­dry 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 “Options” button until the
Set Up menu appears on the display.
Press “Change” button to enter in the Set Up menu
and then press the “Options” 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
shown on the display: hard, normal and soft.

Time controlled drying

(1) Never overfill the drum (do not load large quilts, for example).

Drying times vary according to:

• The type of laundry

• The size of the load

• The degree of spinning prior to drying.

• The degree of dryiness required

Laundry Centre

In a special knob position, the dryer selects the best cycle parameters according to the last cycle done
by the washing machine. That means that via radio frequency the tumble dryer automatically fetches
information from the washing machine about the last completed washing programme:

- Type of programme

- Spinning speed

- Quantity of laundry (only for cotton programmes).
This information is used to automatically select the corresponding drying programme. Remember to
select the required degree of dryness and then press “Start”.

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.

Before placing articles of laundry in your tumble
dryer, check the care labels to ensure they are
recommended for tumble drying.

Care Labels you may find on your laundry

may be tumble dried

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

• DO NOT load dripping wet laundry into the dryer.
Roll the article in a towel or spin to remove
excess water.

• Close poppers and zips and fasten any buttons.

• Sort the laundry. Separate synthetics from
cotton/linens, and dry separately.

• Remove the laundry immediately after the pro­gramme has finished.

• Use a fabric conditioning sheet to reduce static.
We recommend the sheet is pinned to an article of
laundry (using a safety pin).

• Mix the load i.e. large and small articles.

• When drying large items such as sheets, we rec­ommend you periodically stop the dryer to redis­tribute the load.

DO NOT use the tumble dryer to dry the following:

• Articles contaminated with inflammable sub­stances e.g. petrol, cleaning solvents, cooking oil,
fats or hair lacquer.

• Woollen and synthetic/wool mixtures unless the
item is labelled as suitable for tumble drying.

• Very delicate articles such as silk.

• Very large and bulky items such as duvets or
sleeping bags.

Hints & Tips on Drying

125981560.qxp 2005-09-08 12:50 Page 20

21

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 fil-
ters» 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» writ-
ten 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.
