Safety instructions
Energy saving
Your dryer was designed exclusively for domestic use, to dry machine-dryable
fabrics.
• Spin your washing at high speed, which
will reduce residual humidity and energy
consumption too. Synthetic fabrics should
also be spun before drying.
• Load your machine to maximum for
optimal use of energy. To do this, use the
recommended volumes indicated in this
booklet.
• High ambient temperatures and small
rooms increase drying times and electricity
consumption.
•Make sure that the ventilation grill on the
front of the machine is always clean and
free of obstacles.
The following instructions must be
strictly complied with. We decline all
responsibility and will terminate any
guarantee if these recommendations are
ignored, which may cause damage to
persons or property.
• Use your machine as indicated in this
manual; this will avoid damage to persons
and washing. Don’t use solvents inside the
dryer (danger of fire and explosion)
• Stain removal products. All preliminary
treatment with solvents, stain removers
and aerosols is strictly forbidden as they
are highly inflammable products. If items
require such treatment, it should be carried
out before washing. We also advise you
not to use such products near your dryer
or other electrical appliances in general in
poorly ventilated areas, in order to avoid
the risk of explosion.
• Scrupulously follow the drying instructions
on the labels on your washing.
• If you have to open the door of the drum
during a drying cycle, be careful not to
touch the drum immediately, as it will be
very hot.
• In the case of anomalies that you can’t
eliminate by following the instructions in
section “What to do if…”, contact a
qualified professional.
• Don’t allow children to play with the
machine and keep pets away from it.
• Before disposing of your dryer render it
unusable. Disconnect and cut the power
cable at its entry to the machine. Put the
door handle out of use.
• Think of the environment. Ask your dealer
or local authorities about procedures for
scrapping used dryers.
• If you want to change the power cable,
contact a qualified professional.
• Don’t touch the back panel of the dryer
while it’s working, as it may be very hot.

Installation area (A):
Your dryer emits heat. If you put it next
to another appliance or item of
furniture, we recommend leaving space
between the two for air to circulate (A).
We strongly advise against:
- installing your dryer on a carpeted floor.
If you can’t avoid doing so, take the
necessary steps to ensure adequate
circulation of air under the base.
- installing your dryer where it may be
exposed to splashes of water;
- installing your dryer in a small closed room
(if this is the case, open a door or window
during the drying cycle);
- installing your dryer in an inadequately
ventilated room; ambient temperature
should be under 35° C during drying.
Levelling (B):
Use a level to check the floor is horizontal.
The maximum allowed inclination is 1.5° (ie.
about 1 cm with respect to the width and
depth of the dryer).
Your dryer has four adjustable feet (B).
To adjust level and stability:
- tip slightly backwards;
- use a wrench or pair of pliers to screw or
unscrew, depending on the floor, one or
more of the feet to adjust height (B);
- put the dryer back on four feet and check
stability.
