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.

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 “Pluizenfilters” 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 “Condensor” 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

12

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 “Reservoir”” 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

P1157

The reservoir must be re-inserted correctly.

If this is not done the pilot light “Reservoir” 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-button START/PAUSE 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 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.

P1162

Avertissements et conseils importants

Les avertissements suivants sont donnés pour votre sécurité. Nous vous prions de bien vouloir les lire attentivement avant d'installer et d'utiliser l'appareil.

Installation

Sécurité des enfants

●Si l'installation électrique de votre habitation nécessite une modification pour le branchement de votre appareil faites appel à un électricien qualifié.

●Assurez-vous, après avoir installé l'appareil, que celui-ci ne repose pas sur le câble d'alimentation.

●Si le sèche-linge est installé sur un sol recouvert de moquette, réglez les pieds de façon à ce que l’air puisse circuler librement autour de l’appareil.

Utilisation

●Votre appareil est destiné à un usage domestique. Ne l’utilisez pas à des fins commerciales ou industrielles ou pour d’autres buts que celui pour lequel il a été conçu.

●Débranchez toujours l'appareil après son utilisation.

●N'introduisez jamais dans l'appareil du linge simplement égoutté.

●Ne séchez pas d'articles ayant été traités avec des produits chimiques, tels que les produits utilisés pour le nettoyage à sec, car ils pourraient provoquer une explosion.

●Les enfants ne sont souvent pas en mesure de reconnaître les risques émanant des appareils ménagers. Il est donc indispensable de les garder sous surveillance lorsque l'appareil fonctionne. Ne les laissez pas jouer avec le sèche-linge!

●Les éléments constituant l'emballage (les films en plastique, les morceaux de styropor par ex.) peuvent présenter un danger pour les enfants. Risque d'asphyxie! Gardez les éléments d'emballage hors de la portée des enfants.

●Assurez-vous que les enfants ou vos animaux domestiques ne puissent pas pénétrer dans le tambour du sèche-linge.

●Si vous procédez à la mise à la casse de votre appareil, veillez à mettre hors d'usage ce qui pourrait représenter un danger: coupez le câble d'alimentation au ras de l'appareil et détériorez le dispositif de fermeture de la porte.

Vous éviterez ainsi que les enfants s’y enferment en se mettant ainsi en danger de mort.

● Risque d'incendie: ne faites pas sécher dans	Recyclage
votre appareil du linge qui a été taché ou imbibé
d'huile végétale ou d'huile de cuisson.

●Risque d'incendie: si vous avez prétraité votre linge avec du détachant (spray ou liquide) avant lavage, effectuez un cycle de rinçage supplémentaire avant de le charger dans votre sèche linge.

●Contrôlez qu'un briquet n'est pas resté dans une poche.

●Ne séchez en aucun cas des chaussures (tennis,etc.), car elles pourraient s’encastrer entre le hublot et le tambour, bloquant ce dernier.

●Laissez la porte entrouverte lorsque le sèchelinge n'est pas utilisé, mais veillez à ce que les enfants ne s'enferment pas dans l'appareil.

●Les filtres doivent être nettoyés après chaque utilisation. N'utilisez jamais l'appareil avec des filtres endommagés ou sans filtres. Cela pourrait provoquer un incendie.

●Evitez l’accumulation de poussière autour de l’appareil pour permettre à l’air de circuler librement.

Sécurité

●Il est dangereux de modifier ou d'essayer de modifier les caractéristiques techniques de cet appareil.

●N'essayez jamais de réparer l'appareil vous-même. Les réparations effectuées par du personnel non qualifié peuvent provoquer des dommages importants. Seul un Service Après-Vente recommandé est habilité à intervenir. En cas d'intervention, exigez des pièces de rechange certifiées constructeur.

● Recyclage de l’emballage

Tous les matériaux marqués par le symbole sont recyclables. Pour qu’ils puissent être récupérés (recyclés), il est nécessaire de les

déposer dans les déchetteries prévues à cet effet (renseignez-vous auprès des autorités locales).

● Mise à la casse de l’ancien appareil

Informez-vous auprès de la municipalité au sujet de l’endroit où déposer l’ancien appareil pour qu’il puisse être ensuite recyclé ou détruit.

• Appareiles usagés

Le symbole sur le produit ou son emballage indique que ce produit ne peut etre traité comme déchet ménager. Il doit plutôt etre remis au point de ramassage concerné, se chargeant du recyclage du matériel électrique et électronique. En vous assurant que ce produit est éliminé correctement, vous favorisez la prévention des conséquences négatives pour l’environnement et la santé humaine qui, sinon, seraient le résultat d’un traitement inapproprié des déchets de ce produit. Pour obtenir plus de détails sur le recyclage de ce produit, veuillez prendre contact avec le bureau municipal de votre région, votre service d’élimination des déchets ménagers ou le magasin

16 ou vous avez acheté le produit.

Conseils écologiques

Afin de réaliser des économies d’énergie, nous vous conseillons de respecter les instructions suivantes:

●Utilisez si possible l’appareil à pleine capacité; des charges partielles sont peu économiques.

●Tout le linge à sécher doit être essoré avant d'être introduit dans le tambour. Plus la vitesse d'essorage sera importante, plus courte sera la durée du séchage d'où économie d'énergie.

●Evitez de sécher le linge trop longtemps: choisissez le programme de séchage en fonction de la nature des textiles et du degré de séchage désiré.

●Pour utiliser l'appareil à pleine capacité vous pouvez sécher en une fois du linge “prêt à ranger” avec du linge “prêt à repasser”. Sélectionnez le programme de séchage pour “prêt à repasser” et à la fin du programme retirez ce linge. Complétez le programme en sélectionnant un séchage chronométrique pour le linge “prêt à ranger”.

●Nettoyez régulièrement les filtres pour éviter des temps de séchage trop longs: vous économiserez de l’énergie.

●Pendant le fonctionnement de l’appareil, la température ambiante ne doit pas dépasser + 35°C.
