Useful Hints

• Drying a large quantity of laundry is not recommended because it will remain creased and unevenly dried (max. 5 kg of dry resistant laundry is recommended).

• Drying very delicate laundry (woolens, silk garments) is not recommended as they may shrink or lose shape.

• Synthetic curtains, fabrics with metal threads, nylon stockings, as well as lingerie with prevailing foam rubber components or rubberlike materials, should be dried at low temperature setting (delicate laundry programs or time setting programs).

• Put delicate laundry into a special sack, when drying together with other laundry.

• When drying is finished, immediately take the laundry out of the drum so that it won't crease.

• W hen drying laundry in the dryer there is no need to add a conditioner. Conditioners are added only when rinsing synthetics to neutralise static electricity.

• When buying clothes, especially underwear, do not forget that they shrink during washing as well as during drying.

• Clothes marked with a "no tumble dry" label, are not suitable for drying in the tumble drier.

• Energy consumed whwn drying the laundry is essentially incrased if your washing machine is spinning at less than 800 r.p.m. In that case it is recommended to purchase an independent spin intended for additional water extraction.

Instructions for Use

Positioning and Installation

Your drying machine can be placed in any room with adequate ventilation.

Choosing the Right Place

A - Venting - type Dryer

The most appropriate space is a room with a window or built-in ventilation fan (Figure 1). In closed, smaller rooms without adequate ventilation there is too much moisture in the air, drying time is increased and so is energy consumption. If during the drying procedure there isn't adequate ventilation in the room, we recommend you direct moist air out in the open by means of vent pipe (Fig. 2).

Vent pipe can be bought in any technical store (identification code PIPE SP-377628).

B - Condenser - type Dryer

Do not install the condenser dryer into the room where a danger of freezing can occur. Freezing of water in the condensed water drawer and the pump can damage the appliance.

Positioning

This dryer is a self standing appliance and can stand alone, or it can be placed either together with a washing machine or in the kitchen as a kitchen unit. If the floor is uneven, use the adjustable feet to level the machine.

• Do not remove the adjustable feet. The machine must be placed horizontally.

• Some models of tumble dryers are supplied with vacuum leg braces, enabling the appliance to be placed on top of a washing machine, without hazard of falling or tripping during the operation of either appliance.

• Do not put the dryer on the thicker rug thus preventing the possibility of air circulation.

Moist Air Outlet

A – Vent dryer

There are two openings for venting out humid air, which are situated at the bottom left-hand rear side part of the dryer. Depending on the position of the machine, please, close down one of the openings with the front cover, which has already been fastened on it, or attached to the drum (Fig 4). Fix the cover by inserting a coin into the slash turning it clockwise. It can be removed by turning in the opposite direction. If during the drying cycle the airing is not good enough, the air-vent tube can be inserted (screwed) into the hole. The distance between the dryer and venting opening (airduct or window) must not exceed two meters, otherwise condense can accumulate in the tube, (Fig 5,6).

Undo the nuts. Rotate the feet to level the machine (fig. 3). Lock the nuts (fig. 3a).

Instructions for Use

B – Condenser - type Dryer

Humidity from the laundry in the condenser dryer is extracted into the air cooler and accumulated in the drainage container or conducted directly into the moist air outlet. After every drying the condensed water drawer should be emptied, of which you are reminded by the control lamp which is on when the container is full. The air cooler should be cleaned in time (see the chapter Maintenance and Cleaning)

Channelling the condenser tube to the drain outlet

Take off the condensed water drawer tube from the rear side of the dryer and by fitting an elbow on it channel the tube into the drain outlet. Height of the drain must not exceed 800 mm.

Connecting to Power Supply

The appliance is connected to the power supply by means of a cable cord plug. The wall socket should be earthed (safety socket). Required nominal current and frequency are stated on the rating plate. The wiring should withstand maximum load. Electric connection and earthing should be carried out in accordance with current standards and regulations.

IMPORTANT In the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or his service agent or a qualified person in order to avoid hazard.

• The appliance should be placed in the position, where the plug is within reach.

Door
