● Synthetics Max. 4 kg
8
Preparing the load
Do not overload
the drum, large
items when wet
can exceed the
maximum
admissible
clothes load
(for example:
sleeping bags,
duvets).
40005643Eng.qxd 27/08/2008 11:12 Page 8
Sort the load as follows:
● By care symbols
These can be found on the collar or inside
seam:
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 button to
select low drying temperature.
9
40005643Eng.qxd 27/08/2008 11:12 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.
Drying guide

Door and Filter
WARNING!
When the tumble dryer is in use the
drum and door may be VERY HOT.
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.
40005643Eng.qxd 27/08/2008 11:12 Page 12
The water removed from the laundry during the
drying cycle is collected in a container at the
bottom of the dryer.
When the container is full the indicator on
the control panel will light, and the container
MUST be emptied. However, we recommend that
the container is emptied after each drying cycle.
NOTE: Very little water will collect during the
first few cycles of a new machine as an internal
reservoir is filled first.
To remove the container
1. Gently pull the bottom of the kickplate so
that it unclips from the dryer. The top
section can then be unhinged allowing the
kickplate to be completely removed.
2. Pull firmly on the handgrip and slide the
water container out of the dryer.
Support the container with both hands. When
full, the water container will weigh about 4kg.
3. Open the lid located on the top of the
container and empty the water.
4. Refit the lid and slide the water container
back into position. PUSH FIRMLY INTO
PLACE.
5. Refit the kickplate by engaging the hinges
at the top and 'snapping' the lower clips
into place.

Important: Always switch off and remove the plug from the electricity supply
before cleaning the condenser.
To maintain the efficiency of the dryer regularly check that the condenser is clean.
To remove the condenser
1. Remove the kickplate (see page 13).
2. Turn the two locking levers anti-clockwise and pull out the condenser.
3. Pull out the condenser unit.
4. Gently remove any dust or fluff with a cloth,
then wash the unit by holding it under a
running tap turning it so that water flows
between the plates, to remove any dust or
fluff.
5. Refit the condenser ensuring it is in the
correct way (as indicated by the arrow) and
pushed firmly into place. Lock the two levers
by turning them clockwise.
6. Refit the kickplate.
The Sensor Dry machine gives many options
for drying the laundry to suit all
circumstances.
Note: The sensor may not detect a small load
of small articles. For small loads and separate
items or pre-dried fabrics with low moisture
content, use the timed programmes. Set the
14
Condenser

programme between 30 and 75 minutes depending on the load size and
dryness required, and select high or low heat depending upon the fabric type.
If the sensor does not detect the item the dryer will only operate for 10
minutes before going into cooldown.
If the load is too large or too wet to tumble dry the dryer will automatically
go into cooldown after 185 minutes.
The table below lists the programmes and the function of each programme.

Description
Select the degree of dryness that you require.
This ranges from Bone Dry for bath towels and
bathrobes, through Cupboard Dry for items that will be
put away without ironing, to the programme that
leaves the laundry suitable for ironing.
A gentle programme specially created to get woollens
softer after air-drying.
This delicate warm air cycle, lasting 12 minutes, can
also be used to get woollens 'refreshed' after being
stored in the wardrobe.
The Fast Iron programme provides a conditioning and
anticrease function. The dryer will heat the load for
9 minutes followed by a 3 minute cool down period
and is especially good for garments which may have
been left for some time prior to ironing, in a linen
basket for example. Garments may also become
stiffened when dried outside on a washing line or
inside on radiators. The Fast Iron process relaxes the
creases in the fabric making ironing quicker and easier.

Før tørretumbleren anvendes første gang:
● Læs venligst denne instruktionsbog
grundigt.
● Fjern alle genstande som er lagt ind i
tromlen.
● Aftør tromlens inderside og låge med en
fugtig klud for at fjerne eventuelt støv, som
har sat sig under transporten.
Klargøring af tøj
Du skal sikre, at det vasketøj, du skal til at tørre,
egner sig til tørring i en tørretumbler, som vist på
vaskemærker på hver genstand.
Kontroller at alle lukninger er lukkede, og at
lommerne er tomme. Vend vrangen ud på
genstandene. Læg tøjet løst i tromlen for at sikre,
at det ikke filtrer sig sammen.
Maksimal tørrevægt
● Bomuld, maks. 8 kg
● Syntetiske stoffer, maks. 4 kg
26
Forberedelse af ilægning
af tøj
Tromlen må ikke
overfyldes,
større, våde ting,
kan overstige
den maksimalt
tilladte vægt
(f.eks.: soveposer
og dyner).
40005643Dan.qxd 27/08/2008 12:34 Page 26
Sorter tøjet, der skal
lægges i, som følger:
● Efter vaskemærker
De findes i kraven eller på en indvendig søm:
Egnet til tørring i tumbler.
Tørring i tumbler ved høj temperatur.
Kun tørring i tumbler ved lav temperatur.
Må ikke tørres i tørretumbler.
Hvis der ikke findes noget vaskemærke,
må det betragtes som uegnet til
tørretumbling.
● Efter antal og tykkelse
Når det tøj, der skal lægges i, overstiger
tørretumblerens kapacitet, skal tøjet adskilles i
overensstemmelse med tykkelse (f.eks.
håndklæder fra tyndt undertøj).
● Efter stoftype
Bomuld/linned: Håndklæder, bomuldsjersey,
sengelinned og duge.
Syntetiske stof: Skjortebluser, skjorter,
overalls, osv., fremstillet af polyester eller
polyamid samt efter bomulds/syntetiske
blandinger.
● Efter tørringsniveau
Sorter tøjet i: Strygetørt, Skabstørt, osv. For
sarte genstande tryk på knappen for at
vælge lav tørretemperatur.
27
40005643Dan.qxd 27/08/2008 12:34 Page 27
28
Må ikke tørres i
tørretumbler:
Uld, silke, sarte stoffer, nylonstrømper, sart broderi,
stof med metaldekoration, beklædningsgenstande
med PVC eller læderkanter, gummisko,
pladskrævende genstande, som f.eks. soveposer,
osv.
Energibesparelse
Læg kun vasketøj i tørretumbleren som er blevet
grundigt vredet eller centrifugeret. Jo mere tørt
vasketøj er, jo kortere vil tørretiden være og
derved spare elektricitet.
ALTID
● Prøv altid at tørre vasketøj så meget vasketøj
som maskinen tillader, dette sparer både tid
og elektricitet.
● Det skal altid kontrolleres, at filtret er rent
før hver tørrecyklus.
ALDRIG
● Den maksimale vægt må aldrig overskrides,
dette vil spilde tid og elektricitet.
● Læg aldrig drivvåde genstande i
tørretumbleren, dette kan beskadige
apparatet.
Tørrevejledning
Tabellen viser omtrentlige tørretider afhængig af
stoftype og tøjets fugtighed.

ADVARSEL!
Når tørretumbleren er i brug kan
tromlen og lågen blive MEGET
VARME. Du må aldrig stoppe
tørretumbleren, før
tørreprogrammet er afsluttet,
medmindre tøjet tages ud og
spredes hurtigt, så det kan køles
ned.
