The water reservoir has a volume of approx. 4 litres. This is sufficient for around 7
kg of laundry which has previously been spun at 1000 revolutions/ minute.
The condensate can be used as distilled water, e.g. for steam ironing. However first
filter the condensate (e.g. with a coffee filter) to remove any residue and small
pieces of fluff.
Cleaning heat exchanger
If the heat exchanger is displayed, the heat exchanger needs to be cleaned.
CAUTION!

5. Use the handle to pull the heat ex-
changer out of the base and carry it
horizontally to prevent any remaining water from spilling.
6. To empty the heat exchanger, hold

of the drum. The degree to which the laundry has been dried is then no longer
detected reliably. The laundry is damper than expected when removed from the
dryer.
Use a standard domestic cleaner (e.g. vinegar-based cleaner) to wipe down the
inside of the drum and drum ribs.
Care and cleaning
Clean operating screen and housing

WARNING!
Do not use standard bulbs! These develop too much heat and may damage the
machine!
Before replacing the bulb, disconnect the mains plug; with a permanent connection: fully unscrew or deactivate the fuse.
1. Unscrew cover above the bulb (this can be found directly behind the loading
aperture, at the top; refer to “Description of machine” section.)
2. Replace defective bulb.
3. Screw cover back down.
Check the correct positioning of o-ring gasket before screwing back the door light
cover. Do not operate the dryer when missing o-ring gasket on door light cover.
WARNING!
For safety reasons, the cover must be screwed down tightly. If this is not done, the
dryer must not be operated.

Water hardness
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.

• Final humidity (during Cupboard dry cotton, Iron dry cotton and Cupboard dry
Easy care)
• Condensation efficiency (corrected with final humidity) during cupboard dry
cotton cycle with nominal and half load
All the cycles have to be checked in accordance with IEC 61121 (Tumble dryers for
household use – Methods for measuring the performance).
Installation
Appliance 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 built-up which
would interfere with the operation of the appliance.
33
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.
WARNING!
Should the appliance be moved, it must be transported vertically.
Installation
34
WARNING!
The appliance must not be installed behind the lockable door, a sliding door or a
door with a hinge on the opposite side to that of the appliance.
Removing transport safety packaging
CAUTION!
Before use all parts of the transport packaging must be removed.
1. Open loading door
2. Pull off adhesive strips from inside ma-
chine on top of drum.
3. Remove foil hose and polystyrene
padding from the machine.
Electrical connection
Details on mains voltage, type of current and the fuses required should be taken
from the rating plate. The rating plate is fitted near the loading aperture (see
“Product description” chapter).
Connect the machine to an earthed socket, in accordance with current wiring
regulations.
WARNING!
The manufacturer declines any responsibility for damage or injury through
failure to comply with the above safety precautions.
Should the appliance power supply cable need to be replaced, this must be
carried out by our Service Centre.
Installation
35
The appliance is supplied with a 13 amp plug fitted. In the event of having to change
the fuse in the plug supplied, a 13 amp ASTA approved BS 1363/A fuse must be
used.
The wires in the mains lead are coloured in
accordance with the following code:
4
1 Blue - Neutral
2 cord clamp
3 Brown - Live
4 Green and Yellow - Earth
The wire coloured green and yellow must be
3
connected to the terminal marked with the
letter «E» or by the earth symbol
or col-
1
2
oured green and yellow.
The wire coloured blue must be connected to
the terminal «N» or coloured black.
The wire coloured brown must be connected to the terminal marked «L» or coloured
red.
Upon completion there must be no cut, or stray strands of wire present and the
cord clamp must be secure over the outer sheath.
WARNING!
A cut off plug inserted into a 13 amp socket is a serious safety (shock)
hazard.
Ensure that the cut off plug is disposed of safely.
WARNING!
The power supply cable must be accessible after installing the machine.
Permanent connection
In the case of permanent connection it is necessary that you install a double pole
switch between the appliance and the electricity supply (mains), with a minimum
gap of 3 mm between the switch contacts and of a type suitable for the required
load in compliance with the current electrical regulations.
The switch must not break the yellow and green earth cable at any point.
Environment

Door reversal
To make is easier to load or unload the laundry, the door can be reversed. This
operation must only be carried out by a qualified engineer. Please contact your
local service centre. The engineer will carry out the door reversal at your cost.
Special accessories
Installation kit for stacked washer-dryer (Stacking kit)
The stacking kit is an optional accessory available from Service Force.
It makes it possible to stack your dryer on top of a front loading washing machine
with a width of 60 cm.
Read carefully the instructions supplied with the kit.
Installation kit for external drainage (Drainage kit)
Attached to your product
Installation kit for direct draining of condensed water into a basin, siphon, gully,
etc. The water reservoir then no longer has to be emptied, it must however remain
in its intended position in the machine. Refer to the “Programme options” section
for how to deactivate the empty water tank
Max. displacement height: 1 m from the base of the dryer; max. displacement
length: 2.5 m
Read carefully the instructions supplied with the kit.

Old appliance
WARNING!
When disposing of old appliances, remove the mains cable and dispose of together
with the plug. Remove the door hook and ensure it is no longer lockable to prevent
young children being trapped inside.
Environmental tips
• In the dryer, laundry becomes fluffy and soft. Fabric softeners are not therefore
needed when washing.
• Your dryer will function most economically if you:
– always keep the ventilation slots on the base of the dryer unobstructed;
– use the loading volumes specified in the programme overview;
– ensure you have good ventilation in the installation room;
– clean the micro-fine filter and fine strainer after each drying cycle;
– spin the laundry well before drying. Example: Consumption data – depending
on spinning speed – for 7 kg of laundry, dried using the COTTONS STORAGE
DRY programme.
