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.

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.

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.

Should the appliance be moved, it must be transported vertically.

The appliance must not be installed behind the lockable door, a sliding door
a door with a hinge on the opposite side to that of the appliance.

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 Center.

The power supply cable must be accessible after installing the machine.

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 CUPBOARD
DRY programme.
