Sorting and preparing laundry

Sorting laundry

• Sort by fabric type:

–

Cotton/linen for programmes in COTTONS (KATOEN) (KATOEN) pogramme
group.

–

Mixtures and synthetics for programmes in SYNTHETICS (KATOENEN) pro­gramme group.

• Sorting by care label. The care labels mean:

Drying in the tumble

dryer possible in prin-

ciple

Dry at normal

temperature

Dry at reduced

temperature (choose

DELICATE option!)

Drying in the tumble

dryer not possible

Do not place in the appliance any wet laundry which is not specified on the care
label as being suitable for tumble-drying.

This appliance can be used for all wet laundry items which are labelled as suitable
for tumble-drying.

• Do not dry new, coloured textiles together with light-coloured laundry items.

Textile colours may bleed.

•

Do not dry cotton jersey and knitwear with the EXTRA programme. Items may
shrink!

•

Wool and wool-like textiles can be dried using the WOOL (WOL) programme.
Before the drying cycle spin the woollen textiles as well as possible (max. 1200
rpm). Only dry woollen textiles together which are similar or the same with
respect to material, colour and weight. Please dry heavy laundry items made of
wool separately.

Special notes about Pro Steam

• The following textiles cannot be treated using a Pro Steam programme:

leather, textiles with large metal, wooden or plastic parts, textiles with rusting
metal parts, oilskins or wax cotton garments.

• To smooth or freshen laundry with a Pro Steam programme, sort laundry by size,

weight, material and colour.
Only smooth textiles together that are similar in terms of size, weight, material

and colour.

17

• Do not dry new, coloured textiles together with light-coloured laundry items.

Colours may fade (check colour fastness of fabric when damp in an inconspicu­ous area).

• Do not use dry cleaning sets in combination with Pro Steam programmes.

Preparing laundry

• To avoid laundry becoming tangled: close zips, button up duvet covers and tie

loose ties or ribbons (e.g. of aprons).

• Empty pockets. Remove metal items (paper clips, safety pins, etc).

• Turn items with double-layered fabrics inside out (e.g. with cotton-lined anoraks,

the cotton layer should be outermost). These fabrics will then dry better.

Special notes about Pro Steam

• Before treating garments with a Pro Steam programme, remove stains by wash-

ing or using localized stain removal

Opening loading door / loading laundry

1. Open loading door:
Use force to push against the loading

door (push point - see picture)

2. Load your laundry (do not force it in).

CAUTION!
Do not jam laundry in between the

loading door and rubber seal.

3. Close loading door securely. Lock

Pro Steam system

Fill steam water tank

You must fill up the steam water tank before using a Pro Steam programme for
the first time. Use the distilled water provided if there is not yet any condensed
water from previous drying programmes (see chapter on ‘Care and cleaning, Emp­tying condensed water container’). If, after a Pro Steam programme is selected,
following message The steam water tank is empty. Please fill it and then press
START on the display appears, you will need to fill up the steam water tank with
distilled water. Otherwise, you will not be able to start any Pro Steam programme.

container.

Push filler neck and drawer with condensed water container back in.

When dry, all textiles not specifically prohibited in the chapter ‘Sorting and
preparing laundry’ may be treated with the Pro Steam System. Wet textiles
may only be treated if they are labelled as suitable for dry programmes.

Water recirculation system

This system allows you to use for a Pro Steam cycle automatically the condensed
water collected in the condense water tank during a drying cycle.

19

The water in the condense water tank will never automatically fill the steam water
tank.

The water recirculation system works only if it is supplied by water arising during
standard drying cycles.

To activate this system turn the valve in ON position. When the valve is ON the
steam water tank will be filled during the next drying cycle. Water will be supplied
by the water circuit directly to the steam water tank filling it automatically.

All information on applications is for guidance only. Smoothing results may
vary depending on the selected programme and especially the fittings and
material properties of the textile. The results can be improved if necessary
by using different programmes and steam volumes. For example, some tex­tiles containing more than 20% synthetic but with the right fittings may
behave more like cotton textiles in a Pro Steam programme. You may there­fore get better smoothing results by selecting a cotton Pro Steam pro­gramme.

Given the wide range of different textile grades and properties that can be
manufactured today using different mechanical and chemical processes, we
recommend running the first few Pro Steam programmes at low steam levels
and with a small number of garments that are as similar as possible. Later,
you can carefully start to vary the conditions of Pro Steam programmes to
learn from experience how to get the best results from the volume of laundry
loaded, the quality of the textiles and the most suitable steam levels and
Pro Steam programmes. Please also note the accompanying ‘Textile Guide’.

All information provided on selecting the steam level and corresponding
load are suggestions only. In some cases, using a higher steam level or
smaller load may give better results. The REFRESH (OPFRISSEN) programmes
are gentle Pro Steam programmes for non-washable textiles. Any distortion
to the shape of a garment which might occur in few cases, can be remedied
by ironing.

23

Selecting the programme

Use the programme selector to set the programme you require. The estimated
programme duration (in hours and minutes) appears in the multi-display as well
as cycle finish time.

Select STEAM LEVEL (NIVEAU STOOM)

To achieve the best results, different steam levels are required for different
volumes of laundry.

The STEAM LEVEL (NIVEAU STOOM) button is used to set the required steam
quantity of: MIN, MED or MAX.

All Pro Steam programmes, apart from the REFRESH programmes, automatically
recognize the remaining dampness in clothes. When laundry is wet, a drying cycle
is activated first if required. The table shows the steam levels appropriate for the
selected load, under STEAM LEVEL (NIVEAU STOOM).

Press the STEAM LEVEL (NIVEAU STOOM) button repeatedly until the desired steam
level (MIN, MED or MAX) is shown in the display.

If the STEAM LEVEL (NIVEAU STOOM) button is not pressed after a Pro Steam pro­gramme is selected, the medium steam level (MED) is selected automatically. If you
select a REFRESH programme, MIN is selected automatically.

If in doubt, always select a lower steam level first until you have more ex­perience with load volumes, fabric types and the corresponding optimum
steam level. If too high steam level is selected, garments may lose their
shape. If too low steam level is selected, creases may remain.

household use – Methods for measuring the performance).

Installation

The appliance must be moved in vertical position for transport.

49

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.

Installation

50

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.

Environmental tips

• In the dryer, laundry becomes fluffy and soft. Fabric softeners are not therefore

needed when washing.

• Filtered condensed water can be used for Pro Steam programmes.

• 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 micro filter and fine filter after every drying or Pro Steam programme;
– spin the laundry well before drying. Example: Consumption data – depending

on spinning speed – for 7kg of laundry, dried using the COTTONS CUPBOARD
DRY programme.

DECLARATION OF GUARANTEE TERMS.
Our appliances are produced with the greatest of care. However, a defect may still

occur. Our consumer services department will repair this upon request, either dur­ing or after the guarantee period. The service life of the appliance will not, however,
be reduced as a result.

This declaration of guarantee terms is based on European Union Directive 99/44/
EC and the provisions of the Civil Code. The statutory rights that the consumer has
under this legislation are not affected by this declaration of guarantee terms.

This declaration does not affect the vendor's statutory warranty to the end user.
The appliance is guaranteed within the context of and in adherence with the fol­lowing terms:

1. In accordance with provisions laid down in paragraphs 2 to 15, we will remedy

free of charge any defect that occurs within 24 months from the date the

appliance is delivered to the first end user. These guarantee terms do not apply

in the event of use for professional or equivalent purposes.

2. Performing the guarantee means that the appliance is returned to the con-

dition it was in before the defect occurred. Defective parts are replaced or

repaired. Parts replaced free of charge become our property.

3. So as to avoid more severe damage, the defect must be brought to our at-

tention immediately.

4. Applying the guarantee is subject to the consumer providing proof of purchase

showing the purchase and/or delivery date.

5. The guarantee will not apply if damage caused to delicate parts, such as glass

(vitreous ceramic), synthetic materials and rubber, is the result of inappropri-

ate use.

6. The guarantee cannot be called on for minor faults that do not affect the value

or the overall reliability of the appliance.

7. The statutory warranty does not apply when defects are caused by:

– a chemical or electrochemical reaction caused by water,

55

Guarantee/Customer Service

56

– abnormal environmental conditions in general,

– unsuitable operating conditions,

– contact with harsh substances.

8. The guarantee does not apply to defects due to transport which have occurred

outside of our responsibility. Nor will the guarantee cover those caused by

inadequate installation or assembly, lack of maintenance or failure to respect

the assembly instructions or directions for use.

9. Defects that result from repairs or measures carried out by people who are

not qualified or expert or defects that result from the addition of non-original

accessories or spare parts are not covered by the guarantee.

10. Appliances that are easy to transport may be delivered or sent to the consumer

services department. Home repairs are only anticipated for bulky appliances

or built-in appliances.

11. If the appliances are built-in, built-under, fixed or suspended in such a way

that removing and replacing them in the place where they are fitted takes

more than half an hour, the costs that result there from will be charged for.

Connected damage caused by these removal and replacement operations will

be the responsibility of the user.

12. If, during the guarantee period, repairing the same defect repeatedly is not

conclusive, or if the repair costs are considered disproportionate, in agreement

with the consumer, the defective appliance may be replaced with another

appliance of the same value. In this event, we reserve the right to ask for a

financial contribution calculated according to the length of time it has been

used.

13. A repair under guarantee does not mean that the normal guarantee period

will be extended nor that a new guarantee period begins.

14. We give a twelve month guarantee for repairs, limited to the same defect.

15. Except in the event where liability is legally imposed, this declaration of guar-

antee terms excludes any compensation for damage outside the appliance for

which the consumer wishes to assert his rights. In the event of legally admitted

liability, compensation will not exceed the purchase price paid for the appli-

ance.
These guarantee terms are only valid for appliances purchased and used in Belgium.

For exported appliances, the user must first make sure that they satisfy the technical
conditions (e.g.: voltage, frequency, installation instructions, type of gas, etc.) for
the country concerned and that they can withstand the local climatic and envi­ronmental conditions. For appliances purchased abroad, the user must first ensure

European Guarantee

that they meet the qualifications required in Belgium. Non-essential or requested
adjustments are not covered by the guarantee and are not possible in all cases.

Our consumer services department is always at your disposal, even after the guar­antee period has expired.
