40003552Eng.qxd 20/07/2005 16:24 Page 6
Adequate ventilation must be provided in the room where the tumble dryer is located to prevent gases from appliances burning other fuels, including open fires, being drawn into the room during operation of the tumble dryer.
Exhaust air must not be discharged into a flue which is used for exhausting fumes from appliances burning gas or other fuels.
Check regularly that the air flowing through the dryer is not restricted.
Check the fluff filter after use, and clean, if necessary.
The inlet and outlets should be kept free from obstructions. To ensure adequate ventilation the space between the bottom of the machine and the floor must not be obstructed. There should be a gap of at least 12mm between the machine and any obstructions.
Prevent items from falling or collecting behind the dryer as these may obstruct the air inlet and outlet.
NEVER install the dryer up against curtains.
Installation of the Discharge Hose
It is essential to use a venting hose to carry the hot moist air away from the dryer unless the dryer is situated in a open space with a good air flow around it. Re-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 110mm in diameter and will extend 1.8 meters.
The following guidelines should be followed when installing the discharge hose.
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
7
Ventilation
40003552Eng.qxd 20/07/2005 16:24 Page 7
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.
Before using the tumble dryer for the first time:
Please read this instruction book thoroughly.
Remove all items packed inside drum.
Wipe the inside of the drum and door with
a damp cloth to remove any dust which may have settled in transit.
Clothes preparation
Make sure that the laundry you are going to dry is suitable for drying in a tumble dryer, as shown by the care symbols on each item.
Check that all fastenings are closed and that pockets are empty. Turn the articles inside out. Place clothes loosely in the drum to make sure that they don't get tangled.
8
Do not overload
the drum, large
items when wet
can exceed the
maximum
admissible
clothes load
(for example:
sleeping bags,
duvets).
Preparing the load
40003552Eng.qxd 20/07/2005 16:24 Page 8
Maximum drying weight
Cottons Max. 6 kg

Suitable for tumble drying.
Tumble drying at high temperature.
Tumble drying at low temperature only.
Do not tumble dry.
If the item does not have a care label it must be assumed that it is not suitable for tumble drying.
By amount and thickness
Whenever the load is bigger than the dryer capacity, separate clothes according to thickness (e.g. towels from thin underwear).
By type of fabric
Cottons/linen: Towels, cotton jersey, bed and
table linen.
Synthetics: Blouses, shirts, overalls, etc. made of polyester or polyamid, as well as for cotton/synthetic mixes.
By drying level
Sort into: iron dry, cupboard dry, etc. For delicate articles press the Séchage Délicat button to select low drying temperature.

40003552Eng.qxd 20/07/2005 16:24 Page 9
Do not tumble dry:
Woollens, silk, delicate fabrics, nylon stockings, delicate embroidery, fabrics with metallic decorations, garments with PVC or leather trimmings, training shoes, bulky items such as sleeping bags, etc.
Energy saving
Only put into the tumble dryer laundry which has been thoroughly wrung or spin-dried. The drier the laundry the shorter the drying time thus saving electricity.
ALWAYS
Try to dry the maximum weight of laundry, this will save time and electricity.
Check that the filter is clean before every drying cycle.
NEVER
Exceed the maximum weight, this will waste time and electricity.
Put dripping wet items into the tumble dryer, this may damage the appliance.
