WEEE contains both polluting substances (which
can cause negative consequences for the
environment) and basic components (which can
be re-used). It is important to have WEEE
subjected to specific treatments, in order to
remove and dispose properly all pollutants, and
recover and recycle all materials. Individuals can
play an important role in ensuring that WEEE
does not become an environmental issue; it is
essential to follow some basic rules:

! WEEE should not be treated as household

waste;

! WEEE should be handed over to the relevant

collection points managed by the municipality or
by registered companies. In many countries, for
large WEEE, home collection could be present.

In many countries, when you buy a new
appliance, the old one may be returned to the
retailer who has to collect it free of charge on a
one-to-one basis, as long as the equipment is of
equivalent type and has the same functions as
the supplied equipment.

! Do not continue to use this

machine if it appears to be faulty.

! The tumble dryer is not to be

used if industrial chemicals
have been used for cleaning.

!

Lint and fluff must not be allowed
to collect on the floor around the

! Always remove the plug before

cleaning the appliance.

! The drum inside may be very

hot. Always allow the dryer to
complete the cool down period
before removing the laundry.

! 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 ensures that the items will
not be damaged.

! Do not install the product in a

low temperature room or in a
room where there is a risk of
frost occurring. At temperature
around freezing point the
product may not be able to
operate properly: there is a risk
of damage if the water is
allowed to freeze in the
hydraulic circuit (valves, hoses,
pumps). For a better product
performance the ambient room
temperature must be between
5-35°C. Please note that
operating in cold condition
(between +2 and +5°C) might
simply some water condensation
and water drops on floor.

Where the hot surface
symbol is located the

temperature rise during
operation of the tumble
dryer may be in excess of 60
degrees C.

WARNING

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

agent
or similarly qualified persons in
order to avoid a hazard.

! Adequate ventilation must be

provided in the room where the
tumble dryer is located to
prevent gases from appliances
burning other fuels, including

discharged into a flue which is
used for exhausting fumes
from appliances burning gas or
other fuels.

flowing around the dryer is not
restricted, avoiding accumulation
of dust and lint.

2. VENTILATION

! It is essential to use a venting hose to

carry the hot moist air away from the
dryer unless the dryer is situated in an
open space with a good air flow around it.

! Recirculation of the moist air will prevent

the efficient operation of the dryer.

! The hose is assembled to the machine as

shown.

! The hose may be fitted through a wall or

through an open door or window. The
hose is 110 mm in diameter and will
extend 1,8 meters.

The following guidelines should be followed
when installing the discharge hose.

1

! Do not use two hoses joined together as

the drying performance will be reduced.

! Do not restrict the flow of air through the

hose e.g. by kinking it or fitting a smaller
diameter connector to mount to a wall
opening.

! Avoid the hose making U shaped curves

as this will restrict the flow of air and
increase the chance that water will collect
in the hose.

! Check the hose regularly to remove any

build-up of fluff or water that may have
collected in it.

The following diagrams give examples of
good and bad installations.
