Drying hints

Before loading the laundry

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 tempera-

ture)

delicate drying (low tempera-

ture)

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.

•

EEaassyy--ccaarree iitteemmss

, 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

aatt lleeaasstt 3300 mmiinnuutteess

. This will be
necessary particularly for multilayered
items (e.g. collars, pockets, etc.).

Make sure that no metal objects
are left in the laundry (e.g. hair
clips, safety pins, pins).

Button up pillowcases, close zip
fasteners, hooks and poppers. Tie any
belts or long tapes.

To avoid laundry becoming tangled:
close zips, button up duvet covers and
tie loose ties or ribbons (e.g. of aprons).

Turn items with double-layered fabrics
inside out (e.g. with cottonlined anoraks,
the cotton layer should be outermost).
These fabrics will then dry better.

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.

Care 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.
IImmppoorrttaanntt::

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.

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

aatt tthhee eenndd

ooff eeaacchh pprrooggrraammmmee

, before removing
the laundry, with a damp cloth.
The light is on to remind you 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 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).

DDoo nnoott uussee tthhee aapppplliiaannccee wwiitthhoouutt ffiilltteerrss..

Cleaning the condenser unit

Clean the condenser when light 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.
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.

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.

IImmppoorrttaanntt!!

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.

Emptying the water reservoir

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

he reservoir must be emptied after each

drying cycle to ensure efficient operation
when the machine is next used. The pilot
light reminds you this operation.

TThhee rreesseerrvvooiirr mmuusstt bbee rree--iinnsseerrtteedd ccoorrrreeccttllyy..

After emptying and inserting the reservoir
the START-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.

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.

Positioning

It is recommended that, for your
convenience, the machine is positioned
close to your washing machine.

The tumble dryer must be installed in a
clean place, where dirt does not build up.

Air must be able to circulate freely all
round the appliance. Do not obstruct the
front ventilation grille or the air intake
grilles at the back of the machine.

To keep vibration and noise to a

minimum when the dryer is in use, it
should be placed on a firm, level surface.

Once in its permanent operating position,
check that the dryer is absolutely level
with the aid of a spirit level. If it is not,
raise or lower the feet until it is.

The feet must never be removed. Do not
restrict the floor clearance through
deeppile carpets, strips of wood or

similar. This might cause heat build-up
which would interfere with the operation
of the appliance.

IImmppoorrttaanntt
The hot air emitted by the tumble dryer

can reach temperatures of up to 60°C.
The appliance must therefore not be
installed on floors which are not resistant
to high temperatures.

When operating the tumble dryer, the
room temperature must not be lower than
+5°C and higher than +35°C, as it may
affect the performance of the appliance.

Stacking kit

A special stacking kit is available through
your dealer, to enable the mounting of
the dyer on top of a front loading
washing machine with cover’s depth
between 48 and 60 cm.

Read carefully the instructions supplied
with the kit.

Door reversal

To make it easier to load or unload the
laundry the door can be reversed.

Reversing the door is not possible if after
this operation the appliance result
installed behind a door with a hinge on
the opposite side to that of the
appliance.

Please contact the nearest Service
Centre.

Electrical connection

This machine is designed to operate on
a 230 V,

single-phase, 50 Hz supply. Check that
your domestic electrical installation can

take the maximum load required (2.35
kW), also taking into account any other
appliances in use.

Connect the machine to an earthed
socket, in accordance with current
wiring regulations.

The manufacturer declines any
responsibility for damage or injury
through failure to comply with the
above safety precaution. Should
the appliance power supply cable
need to be replaced, this must be
carried out by our Service Centre.

Ecological hints

To save energy and to help protect the
environment,we recommend that you
follow these hints:

• Try to load the maximum capacity of
the machineas small loads are
uneconomical.

• Always load well spun laundry. The
higher the spinspeed, the lower the
electricity consumption andthe shorter
the drying times.

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

Select the drying programme
according to thetype of laundry and
the required degree ofdryness.

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

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

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