Tips for environmental protection

To save energy and to help protect the environment, we recommend that you follow these hints:

•Try to load the maximum capacity of the machine as small loads are uneconomical.

•Always load well spun laundry. The higher the spin speed, the lower the electricity consumption and the shorter the drying times.

•Do not over-dry laundry, this avoids creasing and saves energy.

Select the drying programme according to the type of laundry and the required degree of dryness.

•To utilize the maximum load, laundry which is to be dried ready to put away (store dry) can be dried together with items to be ironed. To do this, select the programme for iron-dry, remove the iron-dry items at the end of the programme and then finishdry the rest of the load.

•Clean the filter regularly to avoid excessive drying times and high electricity consumption.

•Ventilate the room well. The room temperature should not exceed +35°C during drying.

Installation

Positioning

It is recommended that, for your convenience, the machine is positioned close to your washing machine.

Whilst drying, the tumble dryer will expel a certain amount of warm, very moist air, and this should be removed from the room as quickly as possible to prevent condensation. In an extremely well ventilated room or close to an open window, this may occur naturally.

However, in general, it is better to carry the dryer's exhaust outside via the 100 mm diameter flexible hose supplied with the appliance; ending either temporarily at an open window, or permanently at a fixed ventilation grille, fitted to an exterior wall or window.

The tumble dryer must be installed in a clean place, where dirt does not build up.

Make sure there are no obstructing items or material near the air-intake louvres provided at

the back (e.g. paper, rags etc.).

To keep vibration and noise to a minimum when the dryer is in use, it should be placed on a firm, level surface.

Once in its permanent operating position, check that the dryer is absolutely level with the aid of a spirit level. If it is not, raise or lower the feet until it is.

P0046

The feet must never be removed.

Do not restrict the floor clearance through deeppile carpets, strips of wood or similar. This might cause heat build-up which would interfere with the operation of the appliance.

Important

When operating the tumble dryer, the room temperature must not exceed 35°C, as it may affect the performance of the appliance.

Fitting the vent hose

To simplify the installation, there is a choice of vent outlets: one at the back, the others in the left and right-hand side.

Connect the hose to whichever is the more convenient by pulling the ring nut (A) from the vent outlet at the back, screwing it on to the hose and pushing it firmly back into place.

The unused vents should now be sealed with the special snap covers provided.

P1028

P1027

Advice: If the hose is long and the room temperature low, the moisture might condense to water inside the hose. This is an unavoidable natural phenomenon. To prevent this water from Iying in the hose or flowing back into the tumble dryer, it is advisable to drill a small hole (dia.

3 mm) in the lowest point of the hose and to place a small container below it.(See picture, point B).

P1056	B

Once connected to the dryer, run the vent hose to the desired outlet point, ensuring that the run’s overall length is less than 2 m, and that it contains no more than two bends. As to the outlet itself, if you have decided on a fixed wall/window grille, a good local builder’s merchant should be able to supply you with the necessary fittings and installation advice.

ENGLISH

It is important not to connect the vent hose to, for example, a cooker hood, or a chimney or flue pipe designed to carry the exhaust from a fuel burning appliance.

P0055

Note that to avoid condensation problems, it is essential that the dryer be fitted with the flexible hose to carry its “exhaust” at least beyond the kitchen units; preferable outside the kitchen.

In order to prevent the appliance from overheating, it is important that the steam exhaust is unobstructed. Therefore, in case of a permanent hose fitted to an exterior wall or ceiling, it must be ensured an exhaust capacity of at least 150 m3/h.

If the dryer is fitted next to kitchen units, make sure that the vent hose is not squashed. If the hose is partially squashed, drying efficiency will be reduced, resulting in longer drying times and higher energy consumption.

If the hose is completely squashed, the safety cut-outs with which the machine is fitted may operate.

Door reversal

To make it easier to load or unload the laundry the door can be reversed.

This operation must be carried out by qualified personnel.

Operate as follows:

-Remove the door by unscrewing the two screws

(1) fastening the hinge to the cabinet (Fig. A).

-Remove the safety catch (2) and the plug (3) by bending the two fastening tags (Fig. A).

-Refit the safety catch (2) and plug (3) on the door by reversing their positions (Fig. B).

-Remove the plastic plate (4) by unscrewing the two fastening screws (Fig. A).

-Refit the plastic plate (4) on the opposite side (Fig. B).

-Refit the door by screwing in the two screws (1) which fasten the door to the cabinet (Fig. B).

1 Programme Chart

This will help you to select the correct time for drying.

2 Mains-On Light

This lights up when the machine starts operating and goes out at the end of the programme.

3 Drying Time Selector Dial

The selector dial incorporates two drying cycles, one of up to 150 minutes at a high temperature for cotton and linen, and one of up to 100 minutes at a low temperature for synthetic fabrics.

To set the machine to the selected time, turn the dial clockwise until the time you want coincides exactly with the pointer.

NEVER attempt to turn the dial in an anticlockwise direction.

When selecting the drying time, you should remember that it includes a 10 minute cooling phase (position on the dial).

This phase should not be shortened, stopped or avoided, as this could cause skin burns or damages to the laundry.

Additional drying

If at the end of the programme the laundry is still too damp, set the dial for a further period of drying (remembering to take into account the cooling period).
