•

Fabrics softeners, or similar products,
should be used as specified by the
fabric softener instructions.

The final part of a tumble dryer cycle
occurs without heat (cool down cycle)

to ensure that the items are left at a

temperature that ensure that the items
will not be damaged.

Remove all objects from pockets such
as lighters and matches.

WARNING: Never stop a tumble dryer
before the end of drying cycle unless
all items are quickly removed and
spread out so that the heat is dissipated.

Children of less than 3 years should
be kept away unless continuously
supervised.

Do not attempt to repair the appliance
yourself.
Contact the Customer Helpline:
0345 257 7271.

If the supply cord is damaged, it must
be replaced by the manufacturer, its
service agent or similarly qualified
persons in order to avoid a hazard.

Oil-affected items can ignite
spontaneously, especially when
exposed to heat sources such as in a
tumble dryer. The items become warm,
causing an oxidation reaction in the oil.
Oxidation creates heat. If the heat
cannot escape, the items can become
hot enough to catch fire. Piling, stacking
or storing oil-affected items can prevent
heat from escaping and so create a fire
hazard.

•

•

If it is unavoidable that fabrics that
contain vegetable or cooking oil or
have been contaminated by hair care
products be placed in a tumble dryer
they should first be washed in hot water
with extra detergent - this will reduce,
but not eliminate, the hazard.

CAUTION: HOT SURFACE!

CAUTION: RISK OF FIRE!

1.The lint filter accumulated on the filter will block the air circulation, which will cause the extension

2.Do not operate the dryer without the lint filter !

3.Clean the lint filter after each use to prevent lint accumulation inside the dryer.

Cleaning the door

Periodically clean the interior part of the door to
remove any fluff from the seals around the filter.
Accurate cleaning ensures correct drying(Fig4).

4.The icon will flash to remind you to clean the filter.

Cleaning the filter:

1.Open the loading door.

2.Remove the cover filter by pulling it up and open the filter . (Fig5,6)

3.Clean lint,fibre,and cotton raveling by hand or with a soft

piece of cloth . (Fig7,8)

4.Close the filter and place it back into its seat.

Do not be alarmed by the amount of fluff. It is not due to excessive

wear caused by the dryer.

All fabric loses fluff when drying but it goes unnoticed in the air.
In a tumble dryer it simply collects in the filter.
After a while, a whitish film due to detergent residue on laundry

forms on the filters. When this occurs, clean the filters with warm
water using a brush.

Care and maintenance

Looking after your appliance

Care and maintenance

1.Clean with water only; do not use hard/sharp-edged objects!
Do not operate the dryer without the air condenser!

2.During drying, water may collect between the window
and the seal, but this does not affect the function of
your dryer!

!

Cleaning the condenser

The condenser is situated at the lower part of
the cabinet behind a small door. To open the
door, push the catch as per picture above.
During the drying cycle or at the end, it is
normal for water to be present on the surface
of the condenser unit(Fig9).

To pull out the condenser, first turn the two
red stops downwards and then remove the
condenser unit holding it at the handle(Fig10).

Clean it with a brush and rinse it under the
shower if necessary(Fig11).

Also clean the outside, removing all fluff.
Clean the rubber seal round the condenser

cabinet and in the inner part of the small door
with a damp cloth.

Important! Do not use pointed objects
or utensils to clean the spaces between
the plates, as this could damage the
condenser and make it permeable.

Re-fit the condenser, turn the red stops
upwards and close the door.

Do not use this appliance if the condenser
has not been fitted.

Cleaning the drum

When your laundry does not reach the desired degree of
dryness, in other words, when it turns out either too dry or
too damp, we advise you to clean the inside of the drum
with a cloth soaked with vinegar.
This will eliminate the slight film that has formed in the drum
(due to residues of detergent and softeners used in the
washing, and from the lime contained in the water), which
prevents the probes from detecting the correct degree of

dryness.

The tank must be re-inserted correctly.

After emptying and inserting the tank the Start/Pause button

has to be pressed again to allow the programme to continue.
