SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

•

Installation

— When you take delivery of the appliance,
unpack it or have it unpacked immediately.
Check that it has not suffered any damage
during transport. Express any reservations in
writing on the delivery note and keep a copy.
Never connect up a damaged appliance.
If your appliance is damaged, please contact
your dealer.
— Before proceeding to connect up your
appliance, please refer to the Installation
Instructions.
— Your tumble dryer must be kept disconnec­ted from the mains supply throughout the
whole installation process.
— The electrical connection details shown on
your appliance’s information plate must match
the those of the local mains supply.
— Once your appliance has been installed, the
plug must remain accessible.
— Do not alter or try to alter this appliance’s
characteristics. This could be dangerous for
you.
— If your installation requires alteration, only
entrust the electrical and plumbing work to
appropriately qualified electricians and plum­bers.
— The appliance must not be installed behind a
locking door, a sliding door or a door with hin­ges on the opposite side to those on the dryer.
— Your appliance is designed for normal
domestic use. Do not use it for commercial or
industrial purposes or for any other purpose
than the one for which it has been designed

•

Children’s safety

— This appliance must only be used by adults.
Do not let children play with the appliance and
keep pets away from it.
— Keep young children away from the
appliance when it is operating.
— When you have unpacked your appliance,
keep the packing out of children’s reach.
— Keep the packaging materials out of chil­dren’s reach (e.g.: plastic bags, polystyrene,
etc.) because they can be dangerous for chil­dren: risk of suffocation.

•

Use

Important :

Your tumble dryer is designed only for
domestic use, for drying textiles suitable for
tumble drying.

Important :

You must observe the following instruc­tions. We decline any responsibility and res­cind the guarantee if these recommendations
are ignored: failure to observe them can
result in material damage and physical injury.

— Use your appliance in accordance with its
method of use, thereby avoiding injury to your­self and damage to your items. Do not use sol­vents in the appliance (risk of fire and explo­sion).
— Precautions for using stain-removing pro­ducts:
Any preliminary treatment with solvents, stain­removers or aerosols is forbidden because
these products are very inflammable. If your
laundry requires this type of treatment, this
must be done before washing. Similarly, we
recommend that you do not use these pro­ducts near to your dryer or, in general, near
any electrical appliance in a poorly ventilated
room in order to avoid any risk of an explosion.

1 / FOR THE USER’S ATTENTION

— Strictly comply with the care instructions on your laundry.
— If you have to open the door of the drum during the drying cycle, ensure that you do not touch
the drum immediately, as it is very hot.
— If any incidents occur, which you cannot resolve using the troubleshooting advice we provide (see
“TROUBLESHOOTING”), contact an appropriately qualified professional.
— Before disposing of your worn-out appliance, make it unusable. Unplug and cut off the power
cable flush with the appliance and make the door lock inoperable.
— For your safety’s sake, if you wish to change your appliance’s power cable, contact an appropria­tely qualified electrician.
— If any operating anomalies occur, disconnect your appliance and call your After-Sales Service.

ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION

This appliance’s packaging material is recyclable. Help recycle it and protect the environment by
dropping it off in the municipal receptacles provided for this purpose.

Your appliance also contains a great amount of recyclable material. It is marked with this
label to indicate the used appliances that should not be mixed with other waste. This way,
the appliance recycling organised by your manufacturer will be done under the best possi­ble conditions, in compliance with European Directive 2002/96/EC on Waste Electrical and

Electronic Equipment. Contact your town hall or your retailer for the used appliance collec­tion points closest to your home.
We thank you doing your part to protect the environment.

•ENERGY SAVINGS

— Spin your textiles at high speeds; the residual dampness will be low, as will your energy consump­tion. Even synthetic textiles must be spun before drying.
— Place the maximum load in your machine; this will utilise energy optimally. When doing so, com­ply with the indications on volume we provide in this instructions manual.
— The drying time and the energy consumption are both increased by a high ambient temperature
and too small a room.
— Clean the filter after each drying cycle.
— Clean the condenser twice a month.

• THE APPLIANCE’S SURROUNDINGS

Important :

We would strongly advise against:

— Installing your appliance on a carpeted floor.
If you cannot avoid this, take all possible mea­sures not to obstruct the circulation of air at
its base.
— Installing your dryer in a location where it
could be subject to being splashed with water.
— Installing your dryer in a small closed room
(if this is the case, open the door or the win­dow during drying)
— Installing your dryer in a poorly ventilated
room. The temperature in the room must
remain below 30°C during drying.

Advice :

Your tumble dryer releases heat. If you place it next to another appliance or a unit, we would

advise you always to leave a space in-between to assist air circulation (Fig. 02).

Important :

Use a spirit level to check that the

appliance is horizontal:

Your dryer is fitted with 4 adjustable feet
(Fig.03). To adjust its horizontality and stabi­lity:
— Tip it slightly backwards
— Screw one or more of the feet in or out using
a spanner or a screwdriver to adjust their
height to suit the shape of the floor (Fig.03)
— Set your dryer back on its feet and check
that it is stable.
