READING THE EXPLANATIONS

The air that comes out of your appliance is full of moisture and has to be evacuated (See fig. 1)

a) Whether directly into the room if it is

sufficiently ventilated (if possible the appliance should be installed near a opened window),

b) Or through a fixed exhaust duct in the

wall near the outlet of the appliance (install an air vent in the bottom area to avoid condensing inside the duct).

• The distance between the fins of the air vent must be no less than 15 mm to avoid dirtying.

• The diameter of the hole crossing the wall must at least be equal with the external diameter of the duct.

c) Or, temporarily, the duct end can be

put out through an opened window.

IMPORTANT : never connect the duct to a chimney (risk of combustion gas returning), or to a controlled mechanical ventilation device.

The appliance is delivered with the outlet at the righthand side, but you can change it. The duct fitting needs some care :

• never extend it

• limit the number of elbows to a

maximum of two, so that you will have an efficient and a high performance drying.

Changing the air outlet :

This modification should be done before connecting your tumble dryer. See fig. 2 (a,b,c), the appliance is shown from the back view.

a) Open the trap at the rear of the

appliance.

b) Unclip the handle, by pulling it out, then

release the duct.

c) Push the duct with the handle through

the side plate by turning the handle as shown on the picture.

Lefthand side outlet (See fig. 3)

Remove the stopper at the left side

➀➀

Put the duct with its handle into the left outlet by operating as explained before.

Once the handle has been put into position, fit it in. Replace the stopper at the right-hand side ➁

Close up the trap.

Outlet at the rear side see fig. 4

Take the flexible duct out from the rear.

Putting in place

It is not recommended to install your dryer on a carpeted floor. If this cannot be avoided, provide proper air circulation underneath the appliance.

LEVELLING (FIG. 5) The tumble dryer has to be in a horizontal position, not sloping.

Levelling is essential to ensure proper operation of the machine. Adjust the feet using a spanner to ensure that the dryer is level and check with a spirit level (maximum angle 1.5°, that is less than 1 cm).

ENVIRONMENT Your tumble dryer releases hot air.

If it is placed near another appliance or next to a cabinet, a minimum 1 cm space should be provided in between to assist ventilation.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION (Fig. 6)

The electrical installation must be made in accordance to the standard. Do not connect the appliance through an extension but plug it directly into an electrical socket. In case of supply cord defect call for a skilled person to replace it because special tools are required.

Replacing the electric lead WARNING: In the interests of safety, the electrical supply lead should ONLY be replaced by the manufacturer’s after-sales staff or a similarly qualified person. We cannot be held liable for any damage and possible repercussions resulting from a faulty earthing, or the absence of earthing of the appliance.

DOOR OPENING

Lift the cover to reach the drum. Cover safety device : It is only possible to switch on if the cover is properly closed.

LAUNDRY LOADING

After your clothes have been washed and spun, put the laundry loosely in the drum without folding and squeezing.

Any items which have been treated with a chemical stain remover or an aerosol, must not be put into the tumble dryer : inflammable products, danger of explosion

If your laundry needs such treatment, it must

absolutely

be done before

washing.

LINT FILTER CLEANING (fig. 7)

WARNING : After every drying process it is necessery to clear the lint deposits on the filter.

Do not clean it with water.

The lint filter, on the lefthand side of the drum, has to be cleaned without any water after every cycle. Never rinse it with water at the end of the programme.

➀ Remove the filter by pulling it upwards ➁ Once the thin layer of lint has been

removed from the filter, put it back into position by pushing it firmly downwards. At the end of the programme, your appliance stops at the position “STOP”. The lamp ‘’filter cleaning’’ lights up to remind you that you have to clean the filter. The lamp ‘’on’’ goes out.

➁➁

With the knob ➁ , select the required drying time according to the type and the

load of laundry as well as to the spinning efficiency of your washing machine.

This operation switches on your appliance.

DRYING TIME

Recommended loads according to the kind of the laundry are the following : COTTON : Maximum 5 kg dry laundry

Minimum 1.5 kg dry laundry

SYNTHETIC : Maximum 2 kg dry laundry

Minimum 0.5 kg dry laundry The drying times below include an 8- minute cooling phase at the end of the cycle and are given as a general indication, as they vary according to :

- the desired result : dry, slightly damp,...

- the room temperature (the indications correspond to 20°).

- the spinning efficiency. For a spinning speed of 850 r.p.m. :

COTTON : 5 kg between 1h 30 and 1h 40 MIXED : 3.5 kg between 1h 30 and 1h 40

For a spinning speed of 500 r.p.m. :

MIXED : 2 kg between 50 and 60 mn. DELICATE : 1 kg between 55 and 65 mn.

Lower spinning speeds mean relatively longer drying times.

SWITCHING OFF

After the 8-minute coolong phase, the knob will be in the “STOP” position.Turn it to the off “O” position. As a precaution, the supply cable should be disconnected.

COLD PROGRAMME

This position can be selected to freshen clothes which have been kept for a long time. This programme can also be used as supplementary drying for clothes which have not been sufficiently dried at the end of the normal programme.
