SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Please don´t use the appliance unless you
have studied and understood the instruction
manual.

Your dryer is intended solely for household
use.

If the dryer is used for professional, for-profit
purpose or purpose exceeding normal use
in a household, or if the dryer is used by a
person who is not a consumer, the warranty
period shall be equal to the shortest warranty
period required by relevant legislation.

Before connecting the dryer to the power
mains, please read carefully the instructions

for use which describe the dryer and its
correct and safe use. The instructions apply
for several appliance types/models; thus,
settings or equipment may be described
herein which is not available in your dryer.

Failure to observe instructions or incorrect
use of the dryer, can lead to damage of
laundry, dryer or the user.

Store the instruction manual nearby the
dryer.

Do not allow the children to play with the
appliance.

Prevent your children and pets to enter the
dryer drum.

Air in the dryer environment should not
contain dust particles.

The air where the dryer is installed, should

be well ventilated to prevent feedback of
gases released from the gas appliances with
open fire (e.g. fireplace).

350077

Clean the filters after each drying cycle. If
you have removed the filters, replace them
before the next drying cycle.

After each cleaning insert the condenser
back into the air duct (depending on
model). Operation of the appliance without

condenser, or with damaged condenser is
extremely dangerous and may cause fire.

Always switch off the dryer after use (the
program selector switch should be in the
"OFF" position) and unplug the power cord
from the wall outlet (to prevent the hazard of
lightning or voltage overload).

Leave any repairs and similar tasks on the
dryer to an expert.

Unprofessional repair may result in an
accident or major malfunction. Call the
authorized service department (see list of
service departments attached).

The warranty does not cover (consumables
(light bulbs), minor deviations in colour,
increased noise which is a consequence of
the appliance age and does not affect the
functionality of the appliance, and aesthetic
defects on components that do not affect
the functionality and safety of the appliance.

The appliance is manufactured in
compliance with all effective safety
standards.

Nevertheless, we recommend it is not used
by persons with impaired physical or mental
abilities and motor skills, or persons with
deficient experience or knowledge, without
due supervision. The same recommendation
applies to the use of appliance by minors.

8

The dryer back wall can be hot danger of
burns.

Never stop the drying cycle before it is
completed; if you do interrupt the cycle

for any reason, be careful when removing
the laundry from the drum as it is very hot.
Quickly remove the laundry from the drum
and spread it to allow it to cool down as
quickly as possible.

Final drying cycle includes cooling; be
careful not to extract excessively hot
laundry from the drum.

TO REDUCE FIRE HAZARD, PLEASE READ THE
FOLLOWING INSTRUCTIONS:

Do not dry in the dryer any laundry, that has not been
washed earlier.

Use the dryer only to dry laundry that was washed with
water. Do not dry any laundry that was washed of cleaned
with inflammable cleaners or substances (such as gasoline,
trichloroethylene etc.) as this may result in an explosion.

Laundry stained with oil, acetone, alcohol, oil derivatives,
stain removers, turpentine, wax, and wax removers should
be washed in a washing machine with hot water and
detergent before it is dried in the dryer.

Clothing that includes foam rubber, latex, rubber parts,
shower and bathing caps, water proof textiles, and rubber

backed articles and clothes or pillows fitted with foam rubber
pads should not be dired in the tumble dryer

Laundry conditioners or similar products have to be used in
compliance with manufacturer's instructions.

INSTALLATION AND
CONNECTION

SELECTING THE ROOM

10 cm

5 cm

Ventilation slots and the opening on the front and rear side should always be
kept free.
When installing the dryer in a room, note the required clearance as indicated
in the image. In case of failure to heed the required minimum clearance, the
dryer may overheat.

10 cm

For condensation dryer

Do not install the appliance in a room where there is danger of frost.
The room in which the appliance is installed should be adequately ventilated,
with temperature between 10°C and 25°C. When the dryer is operated at a
lower ambient temperature, condensate can accumulate in the appliance
interior.Frozen water in the condensate tank or pump may damage the dryer.

For vented dryer

Place the appliance in well aerated room with a window or fitted with a fan.
Put the evacuation tube into the appropriate opening. Evacuation duct may
not be placed into the chimney or other type of air duct used for evacuation
of exhaust fumes and smoke of appliances using other combustible

350077

substances.

Exhaust air must not be discharged into a flue which is used for
exhausting fumes from appliances burning gas or other fuels

10

POSITIONING THE APPLIANCE

4X

Positioning the appliance on top of the washing machine by using the vacuum feets or
side by side.

Dryer can be stand freely on the floor or on a washing machine of the same dimensions
– minimum width 517 mm, minimum depth 476 mm. The surface on which the dryer is
placed should be clean and level.

Use the vacuum feet attached; they are designed to prevent the dryer from sliding.
(Vacuum feet are attached or can be purchased (depending on model))

Washing machine on which you wish to install the dryer must be able to bear the weight
of the dryer (see washing machine's rating plate or technical information).

350077

11

Do not place the dryer behind lockable or sliding door or door
with a hinge opposite the dryer. Install the dryer in such way
that the door can always be freely opened.

Air ventilation duct must be kept unobstructed (see
"Description of the appliance").

Drying machine on top should be placed by at least two
persons.

Do not place the dryer on a carpet with long fibres as this may
impede air circulation.

The appliance may not be in contact with a wall or adjacent
furniture.

350077

12

INSTALLATION

Level the dryer in
longitudinal and
traverse direction
by rotating the
adjustable feet
which allow levelling
by +/- 1 cm. Use
key nr. 22 and spirit
level.

Floor on which the machine is placed must have a concrete
base. They must be clean and dry; otherwise, the machine may
slide. Also clean the adjustable feet.

The appliance must stand level and stable on a solid base.

Vibrations, moving of the appliance across the room, or loud
operation due to improperly adjusted feet are not covered by
the warranty.

Sometimes, unusual or loud noise may appear during
appliance operation; these are mostly the result of improper
installation.

350077

13

MOIST AIR EVACUATION

max 2 m

(For vented dryer)

The appliance is fitted with two openings for moist air evacuation
(option a/b), of which one must be covered with the lid, and other
used to fix the exhaust tube.

a b

max 2 m

Lint must not be allowed to accumulate around the tumble dryer

Distance between the drying machine and the evacuation
opening (vent duct, window) may not be more than 2 m,
otherwise you may expect concentration of moisture within
the exhaust tube.

350077

14

CONDENSATE DISCHARGE

(For condensation dryer)

The moisture from the laundry is extracted in the condenser unit
and accumulated in the condensate tank.

During the drying process, a control light will warm you of a full
condensate tank which has to be emptied.

Interruption of the drying cycle due to full condensate tank can be
avoided by running the condensate discharge tube found at the
back of the appliance directly into a drain.

Pull the tube to

1

remove it with
flat screw-driver,
from the holder on
the appliance back
wall.(on the left
hand side under the
cover).

Install tube into

max 80 cm

2

the drain, at
a height of 80 cm
from the ground.

If the condensate discharge tube is run into a drain, make sure
the tube is firmly secured. This will prevent any water spillage
which could result in unexpected damage.

In this case, the steam generator tank will not be filled
automatically. It will always require manual filling (see section
Filling and replenishing the steam generator tank).

350077

15

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS

2h

The dryer should be left to stand still for at least two hours
before it is connected to the power mains to allow the system to
stabilize.

Use the power cord to connect the dryer to the power mains
through a power outlet. The dryer may not be connected to the
power mains through an extension cable (danger of overheating
and fire). Nominal voltage and other information is given on the
rating plate located under the door frame.

To prevent from damage by excess voltage on the mains due
to lightning strike we recommend to use a class I over-voltage
protector between the machine and the mains.

350077

After installation, the wall outlet should be freely accessible.
The outlet should be fitted with an earth contact (in
compliance with the relevant regulations).

A damaged power cord may only be replaced by a person
authorized by the manufacturer.

16

MOVING AND TRANSPORT

After transport, the dryer should be left to stand still for at
least two hours before it is connected to the power mains to
allow the system to stabilize. We recommend that installation
and connection should be done by a qualified person.

SUBSEQUENT TRANSPORT

After each drying certain amount of condensed water is retained
in the appliance. Switch on the appliance and choose one of the
programs, then let the appliance operate for approximately half
a minute. This will pump out the remaining water and prevent
damage to the dryer during transport.

If the appliance was not transported in compliance with the
instructions, the dryer should be left to stand still at least two
hours before it is reconnected to the power mains.

Before connecting the appliance, read the instructions for
use. Repair or any warranty claim resulting from incorrect
connection or use of the appliance shall not be covered by the
warranty.

The belt can be replaced by a servising engineer only, who
incorporates an original spare part with the marking OPTIBELT
EPH 1906, code 104265, OPTIBELT 8 EPH 1941, code 160165
(depending on model).

350077

2. STEP: PREPARING THE LAUNDRY

1. Sort the laundry by type and thickness of the fabric (see Program Table).

2. Close the buttons and zips, tie any ribbons, and turn the pockets inside out.

3. Place very sensitive clothes in a special-purpose laundry washing bag.

The following types of laundry may not be dried in the dryer
as this may cause your garments to deform:

• leather garments and other leather products;

• garments that are waxed or treated in any other way;

• garments with major wooden, plastic, or metal parts;

• garments with spangles;

• garments with metal parts subject to rusting.

350077

The final part of a tumble dryer cycle occurs without heat
(cool down cycle) to ensure that the items are left at a
temperature that ensures that the items will not be damaged.

Remove all objects from pockets such as lighters and matches.

Oil-affected items can ignite spontaneously, especially when
exposed to heat sources such as in a tumble dryer. The
items become warm, causing an oxidation reaction in the oil.
Oxidation creates heat. If the heat cannot escape, the items
can become hot enough to catch fire. Piling, stacking or
storing oil-affected items can prevent heat from escaping and
so create a fire hazard.
If it is unavoidable that fabrics that contain vegetable or
cooking oil or have been contaminated by hair care products
be placed in a tumble dryer they should first be washed in hot
water with extra detergent - this will reduce, but not eliminate,
the hazard

20

DRYING IN A BASKET (ONLY WITH SOME MODELS)

Prior to first drying remove the basket and any wrappings
from the drum.

Drying in a basket may be selected only at time defined drying.

Mount the basket in the opposite order of the procedure for its
removal, but without the transport packaging.

The basket drying function is used to dry sneakers or other things
which you want to prevent from tumbling within the drum (max.
load: 2,5 kg).

Dry only clean sneakers. Wring them after washing to such extent
that they do not drip water prior inserting into the dryer.

During this function the basket remains still. Be careful to avoid
things which are being dried to touch the drum as they may get
stuck and thus damaged.

After the drying is over, replace the filter again.

Before installing

1

the basket, it is
necessary to remove
the filter situated on
the lower side of the
door opening.

21

350077

TIPS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
FOR DRYING AND ECONOMIC
USE OF YOUR DRYER

The most economical way of drying is to dry the recommended
amount of laundry in each batch (see Program Table).
Drying laundry made of particularly delicate fabrics that may be
deformed is not recommended.

Use of conditioner in the washing cycle is not necessary as the
laundry is soft and smooth after drying in the dryer. Drying
time will be shorter and power consumption will be lower if the
garments are thoroughly wrung or spun before drying. By selecting
the appropriate drying program, you will avoid overdrying your
laundry and problems with ironing or shrinkage of fabric.

Regular cleaning of the filters will lead to optimum drying time and
minimum power consumption.

When drying smaller amounts of laundry or individual garments,
the sensor may not perceive the actual level of moisture in the
laundry. In such cases, it is recommended to dry smaller items
or amounts with programs for dryer laundry or with the timed
program.
