40005112Eng.qxd 30/05/2007 11:19 Page 13
Water Container
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 out the tray until it is completely removed. Support the tray with both hands. When it is full the water container will weigh about 4kg.
2.Tilt the water container to empty the water out through the rear hole. When empty slide the water container back into position. PUSH FIRMLY INTO PLACE.
NOTE: If you have the option of drainage near the dryer it is possible to use the discharge kit to provide a permanent drain for the water collected by the dryer. This will remove the need to empty the water tray. All the information for assembly of the kit is contained in the kit envelope.
13
40005112Eng.qxd 30/05/2007 11:19 Page 14
Condenser
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. 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.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.

Selecting the Programme
The Sensor Dry machine gives many options for drying the laundry to suit all circumstances.
The table below lists the programmes and the function of each programme.
Programme |
Description |
|

the laundry suitable for ironing. |
|
|
|
|
Wool |
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. |
|
Fast Iron |
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. |

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 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.

Forberedelse af ilægning af tøj
Tromlen må ikke overfyldes, større, våde ting, kan overstige den maksimalt tilladte vægt
(f.eks.: soveposer og dyner).
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
40005112Dan.qxd 30/05/2007 11:26 Page 27
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
40005112Dan.qxd 30/05/2007 11:26 Page 28
Gode råd om tørring
VIGTIGT: Tør ikke genstande som er behandlet med kemisk rensevæske eller gummitøj (fare for brand eller eksplosion).
I de sidste 15 minutter tørres tøjet altid i kold luft.
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.
