EN
1 / FOR THE USER’S ATTENTION
— Substances contained in soiling such as oil, acetone, alcohol, petrol, kerosene, stain removers,
turpentine or wax must be removed before drying in your machine (by using an adapted warm water
washing programme with additional detergent for example).
— Precautions for using stain-removing products : any preliminary treatment by solvent, stain-remover, aerosol, such as acetone, alcohol, gasoline, kerosene, turpentine is prohibited 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 the dryer or,
in general, near any electrical appliance in a poorly ventilated room in order to avoid any risk of an
explosion.
— If any incidents occur, which you cannot resolve using the troubleshooting advice we provide (see
“TROUBLESHOOTING”), contact our Technical Service Center.
— 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 a qualified
electrician.
— If any operating anomalies occur, disconnect your appliance and call our Technical Service
Center.
•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 optimize the energy used. When doing so,
comply with the indications on volume provided in this instruction 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.

Advice :
Some incidents may arise when you are using your dryer. Here are the points you should
check.
Fault : Check whether :
The dryer does not start :
- The plug is in the socket
- The On/Off button is pressed in
- The door is properly closed
- The condenser is correctly locked in place.
The drying times are too long :
- The filter in the drum is clogged with fluff
- The laundry has been spun enough beforehand
(500rpm minimum, but spinning at 850rpm provides
better drying times)
- The condenser is not clogged.
- The air inlets and outlets are unobstructed enough to
ensure correct air circulation.
- The drying program selected matches the type of
items in the drum.
The laundry is too damp :
- The filter in the drum is clogged with fluff
- The type of drying has been selected correctly (too
low) : switch to the next programme up or increase
the drying time.
- The condenser is not blocked by fluff.
The laundry is too dry, too creased :
- The drying time selected is too long : the drying time
is better to be too short than too long: this avoids the
laundry becoming too dry and difficult to iron.
The items are unevenly dried :
- The types of textiles in the load are too different (e.g.
sheets together with jeans)
- The laundry has been laid correctly ‘unfolded’ in the
dryer
- The drum is not overloaded.
The synthetic items are loaded with
static electricity :
- The laundry has been dried too much
- You have used softener during washing. By using this
product, you can reduce most of the problems with
static electricity.
The “Tank Full” indicator light is lit :
- The condensate container is full : once you have emptied it, re-insert it correctly, pushing it completely into
its housing
The “Tank Full” indicator light illuminates although the tank is empty :
- The container has been properly inserted: push it in
completely.
- The condenser is tightly locked on the two sides.
