40001536Eng.qxd 18/08/2004 11:00 Page 7
Ventilation
Adequate ventilation must be provided in the room where the tumble dryer is located to prevent gases from appliances burning other fuels, including open fires, being drawn into the room during operation of the tumble dryer.
●Exhaust air must not be discharged into a flue which is used for exhausting fumes from appliances burning gas or other fuels.
●Check regularly that the air flowing through the dryer is not restricted.
●Check the fluff filter after use, and clean, if necessary.
●The inlet and outlets should be kept free from obstructions. To ensure adequate ventilation the space between the bottom of the machine and the floor must not be obstructed. There should be a gap of at least 12mm between the machine and any obstructions.
●Prevent items from falling or collecting behind the dryer as these may obstruct the air inlet and outlet.
●NEVER install the dryer up against curtains.
If the dryer is installed under a worktop or builtin, it is essential to use the venting hose to carry the hot moist air away from the dryer otherwise re-circulation of the moist air will prevent the dryer from working efficiently.
The hose is assembled and fitted to the machine as shown.
The hose may be fitted through a wall or through an open door or window (Fig. 1). The hose is 95mm (3.75 inches) in diameter and will extend up to 1.8 metres (6 feet).
Venting hoses longer than 1.8 metres (6 feet) are not recommended as the dryer performance will be reduced. Ensure that the venting hose is not kinked as this will prevent the dryer from working efficiently.

Selecting the Programme
The Sensor Dry machine gives many options for drying the laundry to suit all circumstances.
The table below lists the programmes and the function of each programme.
Programme |
Description |
|
|
|
|
Bone Dry |
Select the degree of dryness that you require. |
|
Extra Dry |
This ranges from Bone Dry for bath towels and |
|
Cupboard Dry |
bathrobes, through Cupboard Dry for items that |
|
will be put away without ironing, to the |
||
Iron Dry |
||
programmes that leave the laundry suitable for |
||
Medium Dry |
||
ironing. |
||
Damp Dry |
|
|
|
|
|
Fast Iron |
The Fast Iron programme provides a conditioning |
|
|
and anticrease function. The dryer will heat the |
|
|
load for 9 minutes followed by a 3 minute cool |
|
|
down period and is especially good for garments |
|
|
which may have been left for some time prior to |
|
|
ironing, in a linen basket for example. Garments |
|
|
may also become stiffened when dried outside on a |
|
|
washing line or inside on radiators. The Fast Iron |
|
|
process relaxes the creases in the fabric making |
|
|
ironing quicker and easier. |

Note: The sensor may not detect a small load of small articles. For small loads and separate items or pre-dried fabrics with low moisture content, use the timed programmes. Set the programme between 30 and 75 minutes depending on the load size and dryness required, and select high or low heat depending upon the fabric type.
If the sensor does not detect the item the dryer will only operate for 10 minutes before going into cooldown.
If the load is too large or too wet to tumble dry the dryer will automatically go into cooldown after 180 minutes.

22
40001536DANISH.qxd 18/08/2004 11:55 Page 23
Ventilation
Der skal være tilstrækkelig ventilation i det rum, hvor tørretumbleren placeres, så det undgås at gasser fra andre apparater, eller åben ild, trækkes ind i rummet under tørretumbling.
●Udsugningsluft må ikke afledes i en trækkanal, der er beregnet til aftræk af røggasser fra apparater, der kører på gas eller anden brændsel.
●Kontrollér regelmæssigt at luften, der strømmer gennem tørretumbleren, ikke hæmmes.
●Kontrollér fnugfiltret efter brug og rengør det om nødvendigt.
●Indløb og udløb skal holdes fri for tilstopninger. For at sikre tilstrækkelig ventilation må mellemrummet mellem maskinens bund og gulvet ikke tilstoppes. Der skal være mindst 12 mm fri luft mellem maskinen og ting, der kan blokere.
●Genstande skal forhindres i at falde ned og samles mellem tørretumblerens sider og bagside, da disse kan tilstoppe luftindsugning og -udsugning.
●Tørretumbleren må ALDRIG installeres op mod gardiner.
Hvis tørretumbleren installeres under et arbejdsbord eller indbygges, er det vigtigt at anvende aftræksslangen til at transportere den varme, fugtige luft væk fra tørretumbleren, da recirkulation af den fugtige luft ellers vil forhindre tørretumbleren i at arbejde effektivt.
Slangen er samlet og passer til maskinen som vist.
Slangen kan monteres gennem en mur eller gennem en åben dør eller et åbent vindue (fig. 1). Slangen er 95 mm (3,75 tommer) i diameter og er op til 1,8 meter lang (6 fod).
Aftrækningsslanger som er længere end 1,8 meter (6 fod) anbefales ikke, da tørretumblerens ydeevne vil blive nedsat. Det skal sikres, at aftræksslangen ikke slår bugter, da dette vil forhindre tørretumbleren i at arbejde effektivt.

Forberedelse af ilægning af tøj
Tromlen må ikke overfyldes, større, våde ting, kan overstige den maksimalt tilladte vægt (f.eks.: soveposer, dyner).
Før tørretumbleren anvendes første gang:
●Læs venligst denne instruktionsbog grundigt.
●Fjern alle genstande som er lagt ind i tromlen.
●Aftør tromlens inderside og låge med en fugtig klud for at fjerne eventuelt støv, som har sat sig under transporten.
Klargøring af tøj
Du skal sikre, at det vasketøj, du skal til at tørre, egner sig til tørring i en tørretumbler, som vist på vaskemærker på hver genstand.
Kontroller at alle lukninger er lukkede, og at lommerne er tomme. Vend vrangen ud på genstandene. Læg tøjet løst i tromlen for at sikre, at det ikke filtrer sig sammen.
Maksimal tørrevægt
●Bomuld, maks. 7,5 kg
●Syntetiske stoffer, maks. 3 kg
24
40001536DANISH.qxd 18/08/2004 13:02 Page 25
Sorter tøjet, der skal lægges i, som følger:
●Efter vaskemærker
De findes i kraven eller på en indvendig søm:
Egnet til tørring i tumbler.
Tørring i tumbler ved høj temperatur.
Kun tørring i tumbler ved lav temperatur.
Må ikke tørres i tørretumbler.
Hvis der ikke findes noget vaskemærke, må det betragtes som uegnet til tørretumbling.
●Efter antal og tykkelse
Når som helst det tøj, der skal lægges i, overstiger tørretumblerens kapacitet, skal tøjet adskilles i overensstemmelse med tykkelse (f.eks. håndklæder fra tyndt undertøj).
●Efter stoftype
Bomuld/linned: Håndklæder, bomuldsjersey, sengelinned og duge.
Syntetiske stof: Skjortebluser, skjorter, overalls, osv., fremstillet af polyester eller polyamid samt efter bomulds/syntetiske blandinger.
●Efter tørringsniveau
Sorter tøjet i: Strygetørt, Skabstørt, osv. For
sarte genstande tryk på 
-knappen for at vælge lav tørretemperatur.

Gode råd om tørring
VIGTIGT: Tør ikke genstande som er behandlet med kemisk rensevæske eller gummitøj (fare for brand eller eksplosion).
I de sidste 15 minutter
tørres tøjet altid i kold luft.
Må ikke tørres i tørretumbler:
Uld, silke, sarte stoffer, nylonstrømper, sart broderi, stof med metaldekoration, beklædningsgenstande med PVC eller læderkanter, gummisko, pladskrævende genstande, som f.eks. soveposer, osv.
Energibesparelse
Læg kun vasketøj i tørretumbleren som er blevet grundigt vredet eller centrifugeret. Jo mere tørt vasketøj er, jo kortere vil tørretiden være og derved spare elektricitet.
ALTID
●Prøv altid at tørre vasketøj så meget vasketøj som maskinen tillader, dette sparer både tid og elektricitet.
●Det skal altid kontrolleres, at filtret er rent før hver tørrecyklus.
ALDRIG
●Den maksimale vægt må aldrig overskrides, dette vil spilde tid og elektricitet.
●Læg aldrig drivvåde genstande i tørretumbleren, dette kan beskadige apparatet.
