Installation

Where to put your dryer

●

Place your dryer at a distance from gas ranges, stoves, heaters, or cook tops because flames can damage the appliance.

●

The dryer should be installed in an ambient room temperature of between 20 to 23˚C for optimum performance. But will function if the room is between 14 and 30˚C.

●

Minimum gap 10mm

If you are going to install the appliance under a work counter, be sure to leave a

Minimum gaps

15mm

10mm space between the top and any other objects on or above the machine and a

15mm space between the sides and lateral furnishings or walls. This is to ensure proper air circulation. The appliance must be installed with the rear surface placed against a wall. ! Make sure that the back vents are not obstructed.

Ventilation

When the dryer is in use, there has to be adequate ventilation. Make sure you put your dryer in an environment that is not damp and has proper air circulation throughout. Airflow around the dryer is essential to condense the water produced during the washing, the dryer will not operate efficiently in an enclosed space or cupboard. ! If using the dryer in a small or cold room some condensation could be experienced.

! We do not recommend that the dryer is installed in a cupboard but the dryer must never be installed behind a lockable door, a sliding door or a door with a hinge on the opposite side to that of the dryer door.

Water drain

If your dryer is installed next to a drain the water can be plumbed into this drain. This does away with the need to empty the water container. If the dryer is stacked onto or installed next to a washing machine it can share the same drain. The height of the drain must be less than 3' (1m) from the bottom of the dryer.

Remove the existing hose from position shown in picture A.

picture A

Then fit a suitable length of hose to position shown in picture B. ! Make sure that the hose is not squashed or kinked when the dryer is in its final location.

picture B

Levelling your dryer

The dryer must be installed level for correct operation.

When you have installed your dryer in its final location check that it is level first side to side, then front to back. If the dryer is not level, adjust the two front legs up or down, until your dryer is level.

! WARNING: Before you use your dryer ensure that it has been in an upright position for at least 6 hours.

Installation

Electrical connections

Make sure of the following before you insert the plug into the the electrical socket:

●

Make sure your hands are dry.

●

The socket must have an earth connection.

●

The socket must be able to sustain the machines maximum power, which is indicated on the rating label (see Dryer Description).

●

Power voltage must be within the values indicated on the rating label (see Dryer Description).

●

The socket must be compatible with the dryers plug. Should this not be the case, replace the plug or the socket.

! The dryer must not be installed outdoors, even if the space is sheltered. It can be very dangerous if it is exposed to rain or storms. ! Once installed, the dryers electrical wire and plug must be within easy reach.

! Do not use extension cords. ! The power cord must not be bent or

squashed. ! The power cord should be regularly checked. If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent or similarly qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard. New or longer power cords are supplied at an extra charge by authorised dealers. ! The manufacturer denies any responsibility should any of these rules not be followed.

Before you start using your dryer

Once you have installed your dryer and before you use it, clean the inside of the drum to remove any dust that could have accumulated during transport.

Maximum load

Natural fibres : 9 kg

! If in doubt about any of the above consult a qualified electrician.

Warnings

! The appliance has been designed and built according to international safety standards. These warnings are given for safety reasons and must be followed carefully.

General safety

●

●

This tumble dryer has been designed for home, and not professional use.

●

Do not touch the appliance while bare foot or with wet hands or feet.

●

Unplug the machine by pulling on the plug, not the cord.

●

After using the dryer, turn it off and unplug it. Keep the door closed to make sure that children do not use it as a toy.

●

Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the dryer.

●

Cleaning and user maintenance should not be made by children without supervision.

●

Children of less than 3 years should be kept away from the appliance unless continuously supervised.

●

The appliance must be installed correctly and have proper ventilation. The air intake at the front of the dryer and rear vent behind the dryer should never be obstructed (see Installation).

●

Never use the dryer on carpeting where the pile height would prevent air from entering the dryer from the base.

●

Check to see if the dryer is empty before loading it.

●

The back of the dryer could become very hot. Never touch it while in use.

●

Do not use the dryer unless the filter, water container and heat pump filter unit are securely in place (see Maintenance).

●

Do not overload the dryer (see Laundry for maximum loads).

●

Do not load items that are dripping wet.

●

Carefully check all instructions on clothing labels (see Laundry).

●

Do not tumble dry large, very bulky items.

●

Always follow electrical standards and requirements (see Installation).

●

Always buy original spare parts and accessories (see Service).

Warnings

To minimise the risk of fire in your tumble dryer, the following should be observed:

●

Tumble dry items only if they have been washed with detergent and water, rinsed and been through the spin cycle. It is a fire hazard to dry items that HAVE NOT been washed with water.

●

Do not dry garments that have been treated with chemical products.

●

Do not tumble dry items that have been spotted or soaked with vegetable or cooking oils, this constitutes a fire hazard. Oil-affected items can ignite spontaneously, especially when exposed to heat sources such as a tumble dryer. The items become warm, causing an oxidisation reaction with the oil, Oxidisation creates heat. If the heat cannot escape, items can become hot enough to catch fire. Piling, stacking or storing oil-effected items can prevent heat from escaping and so create a fire hazard. If it is unavoidable that fabrics containing vegetable or cooking oil or those that have been contaminated with hair care products be placed in a tumble dryer they should first be washed with extra detergent - this will reduce, but not eliminate the hazard. They should not be removed from the dryer and piled or stacked while hot.

●

Do not tumble dry items that have previously been cleaned in or washed in, soaked in or soiled with petrol/gasoline, dry cleaning solvents or other flammable

or explosive substances. Highly flammable substances commonly used in domestic environments including cooking oil, acetone, denatured alcohol, kerosene, spot removers, turpentine, waxes and wax removers. Ensure these items have been washed in hot water with an extra amount of detergent before being dried in the tumble dryer.

●

Do not tumble dry items containing foam rubber (also known as latex foam), or similarly textured rubber like materials. Foam rubber materials can, when heated, produce fire by spontaneous combustion.

●

Fabric softener or similar products should not be used in a tumble dryer to eliminate the effects of static electricity unless the practice is specifically recommended by the manufacturer of the fabric softener product.

●

Do not tumble dry undergarments that contain metal reinforcements eg. bras with metal reinforcing wires. Damage to the tumble dryer can result if the metal reinforcements come loose during drying.

●

Do not tumble dry rubber, plastic articles such as shower caps or babies water proof covers, polythene or paper.

●

Do not tumble dry rubber backed articles, clothes fitted with foam rubber pads, pillows, galoshes and rubber coated tennis shoes.

●

Remove all objects from pockets, such as lighters and matches.

! WARNING: Never stop the dryer before the end of the drying cycle unless all items are quickly removed and spread out so that the heat is dissipated.

Maintenance and Care

Switching off the electricity

! Unplug your dryer when not using it, when cleaning it and during all maintenance operations.

Clean the filter after each cycle

The filter is an important part of your dryer: it accumulates lint and fluff that is formed while drying.

When finished drying, clean the filter by rinsing it under running water or with your vacuum cleaner. Should the filter become clogged up, the airflow inside the dryer will be seriously compromised: drying times lengthen and you will consume more energy. It may also damage your dryer.

The filter is found in front of the dryer trim (see diagram on next page).

Removing the filter:

1. Pull the plastic grip of the filter upwards.

2. Open the filter and clean the lint from the inside.

3. Replace it correctly. Ensure the filter is fully located flush into the tumble dryer trim.

4. Remove any lint that has built up on the inside of the door and around the door seal.

Cleaning the heat pump filter unit

Periodically (every 5 drying cycles) remove the heat pump filter unit and clean any build up of fluff from the surface of the filter. However, we recommend that you clean this filter after EVERY drying cycle to optimise the dryers performance.

To removing the heat pump filter unit:

1. Unplug the dryer and open the door.

2. Pull open the heat pump filter unit cover (see diagram on next page). Release the 4 clips to the vertical position then pull the filter unit towards you.

3. Separate the two parts of the filter and clean the surface of the filter.

! The front of the heat pump is made from thin metal plates. Take care that you

do not damage these or cut yourself when cleaning, removing or replacing the heat pump filter unit.

Whenever you clean the heat pump filter unit always clean any build up of fluff from the surface of the metal plates.

4. Carefully clean this fluff off with a damp cloth, sponge or a vacuum cleaner. Never use your fingers.

! Do not use the dryer without replacing the filter.

5.Reassemble the two parts of the filter, clean the seals and replace with the 4 clips in the horizontal position, make sure that the catches are secure.

Empty the water container after each cycle

Pull the container out of the dryer and remove either the small or large cap and empty it into a sink or other suitable drain. Refit the cap and replace the container securely.

! Always check and empty the container before you start a new drying programme.

! Failure to empty the water container may cause the following:

- The dryer will stop heating (so the load may still be damp at the end of the drying cycle).

●

Priming the water collection system

When your dryer is new, the water container will not collect water until the system is primed. This will take 1 or 2 drying cycles. Once primed it will collect water during every drying cycle.

Check the drum after each cycle

Water container

Heat pump filter unit cover

Cleaning the dryer

●

External parts in metal or plastic and rubber parts can be cleaned with a damp cloth.

●

Periodically (every 6 months) vacuum the front air intake grille and vents at the rear of the dryer, to remove any build up of fluff, lint or dust. Also to remove accumulation of fluff from the front of the heat pump and filter areas, clean occasionally with a vacuum cleaner.

! Do not use solvents or abrasives. ! Have your dryer checked regularly by authorised

technicians to ensure electrical and mechanical safety (see Service).

Quick Tips

●

Remember to clean the door filter and heat pump filter after each load.

●

Remember to empty the water container after each load.

! Doing BOTH the above will keep your appliance working at its BEST.

Turn the drum manually in order to remove small items (handkerchiefs) that could have been left behind.

Cleaning the drum

! Do not use abrasives, steel wool or stainless steel cleaning agents to clean the drum.

A coloured film may start to appear on the stainless steel drum, this may be caused by a combination of water and, or cleaning agents such as fabric conditioner from the wash. This coloured film will not affect the dryer performance.

Cuddly Toy Programme

With this programme you can remove dust easier and wash the cuddly toys more often because the drying time is very much reduced compared to drying in the open air. It is a delicate drying cycle that dries at low temperature and with soft mechanical action to maintain at best the original look and shine of the fur. Note: For allergy protection, just freeze cuddly toys for 24 hours then wash and dry them. Repeat every 6 weeks. Before drying remove accessories such as clothes, collars or sound boxes and protect plastic eyes with masking tape after drying them with a cloth. The programme time will vary dependant on the exact make up of the load. The maximum load should not exceed

2.5kg and no individual item should be greater than 600g.

Heat & Enjoy

This programme helps to heat towels & bathrobes for a warm sensation after a bath or shower. It is also useful for warming clothes before dressing during winter. The cycle heats clothes to 37°C (Body Temperature), the display shows door when the display shows READY . Maximum load 3kg.

Note : The Start/Pause button is disabled during this programme.

! ‘Refresh’ is not a drying programme and should not be used for wet articles of clothing.

Start and Programmes

Pre Iron Programme

‘Pre Iron’ is a treatment cycle for use with dry clothes and reduces creases in order to facilitate ironing and folding, it has a maximum duration of 15 minutes. ! ‘Pre Iron’ is not a drying programme and should not be used for wet articles of clothing. For best results: 1. Do not load more than the maximum capacity.

The Controls

! Warning, after pressing the Start/Pause button , the programme cannot be changed. To change a selected programme, press the Start/Pause button , the light flashes Amber to indicate the programme is paused. Select the new programme and any options required, the light will then flash green. Press the Start/Pause button again and the new programme will start.

●

Option buttons

These buttons are used to customise the selected programme to your requirements. A programme must have been selected, by pressing a programme selection button, before an option can be selected. Not all options are available for all programmes (see Programmes Ta b le ). If an option is not available and you press the button, the buzzer will beep 3 times. If the option is available the indicator, on the display unit next to the bottom buttons, lights to show that the option has been selected.

Delay Timer (Time Delay)

The start of some programmes (see The Display and Programmes tables) can be delayed for up to 24 hours.

Ensure the water container is emptied before setting a delayed start.

Crease Care

The pre-care option is only available if a delayed start has been selected. It tumbles the clothes occasionally during the delayed period to help prevent creases developing. The post-care option occasionally tumbles the clothes after end of the drying and cool tumble cycles to prevent creases developing, should you not be available to remove the load immediately the programme is complete. Note: The Start/Pause light flashes Amber during this phase. Selecting this option enables both the pre and post care functions if appropriate.

Heat Level button, Display and Icons

Not all programmes allow you to change the heat level and some programmes allow all three heat level options: Low, Medium and High. When the heat level options are available pressing this button changes the heat level and the display briefly shows the selected heat level, along with a display of the selected level icon:

HIGH HEAT MEDIUM HEAT LOW HEAT

Extra Care

This Anti-Ageing function for Cottons helps to maintain the brightness of your laundry for a long time, thanks to the correct drum rotation (reduced in the last part of the cycle) and the correct temperature. Note: It cannot be used with the ‘Extra Dry’, ‘Cupboard Dry’ and ‘Light Dry’ dryness levels.

Less Tangled

This option has the drum movement modified to give a tumbling action that reduces tangling and knotting of your clothes. The Less Tangled option gives best results when used with smaller loads.

These numbers refer to the dry weight:

Fabric Maximum load

Cotton and Cotton mixtures 2.5kg Denim 2kg

2. Unload the dryer immediately after the end of the programme, hang, fold or iron the articles and put them away in the closet. Should this not be possible repeat the programme.

Ready to Iron

This option allows you to dry loads where only some of the items need ironing and you do not wish to fully dry those items. When Iron Dry level is reached, a buzzer sounds to let you know that the items that need ironing can be removed. The dryer then stops and the Start/Pause light flashes orange. Remove the items you wish to iron, close the door and press the Start/Pause button, the dryer continues until the remaining items reach the selected dryness level. It can be used for load sizes up to 3kg. Note: This option is not available with the ‘Iron Dry’ and ‘Damp Dry’ dryness levels.

The display shows either the amount of time delay remaining or an indication of the amount of time left for a drying programme (see The Display). The display also shows if there is a problem with your dryer, if this occurs the display will show F followed by a fault code number (see Troubleshooting).

●

Empty Water Container

(Messages about emptying can be ignored if you have plumbed your dryer into a drain as there is no need to empty the water container). Messages are displayed to reminds you to empty the water container (see The Display). If the water container fills during a programme, the heater turns off and the dryer does a period of Cool Tumble. After this it stops and a message tells you to EMPTY THE WATER CONTAINER . You must empty the water container and restart the dryer or the clothes will not dry. After re-starting the dryer the message will take a few seconds to go out. To avoid this always empty the water container each time you use the dryer (see Maintenance).

Do not load more than maximum capacity. These numbers refer to dry weight: Natural fibres: 9kg max (20lb) Synthetic fibres: 4kg max (9lb)

! DO NOT overload the dryer as this could result in reduced drying performance.

Wash Care Labels

Look at the labels on your garments, especially when tumble drying for the first time. The following symbols are the most common:

Drying times

The table (see below) presents APPROXIMATE drying times in Minutes. Weights refer to dry garments.

Times are approximate and can vary depending upon:

●

Amount of water retained in clothes after spin cycle: towels and delicates retain a lot of water.

●

Fabrics: items that are the same type of fabric but different textures and thicknesses may not have the same drying time.

●

Quantity of laundry: single items or small loads may take longer to dry.

●

Dryness: If you are going to iron some of your clothes, they can be taken out while still a bit damp. Others can be left longer if you need them to be completely dry.

●

Heat setting.

●

Room temperature: if the room where the dryer is located is cold, it will take longer for the dryer to dry your clothes.

Troubleshooting

One day your dryer seems not to be working. Before you call your Service Centre (see Service), go through the following troubleshooting suggestions:

Problem:

The tumble dryer won’t start.

Possible causes / Solution:

●

The plug is not plugged into the socket, or not making contact.

●

There has been a power failure.

●

The fuse has blown. Try to plug another appliance into the socket.

●

You are using an extension cord? Try to plug the dryer’s power cord directly into the socket.

●

The door is not closed securely?

●

The programme has not been set properly (see Start and Programmes).

●

The Start/Pause button has not been pressed (see Start and Programmes).

Drying cycle will not begin.

Its taking a long time to dry.

●

You have set a delayed time (see Start and Programmes).

●

The filter has not been cleaned (see Maintenance).

●

The water container needs emptying? The empty water message is displayed? (see Maintenance).

●

The heat pump filter needs cleaning? (see Maintenance).

●

The temperature setting is not ideal for the type of fabric you are drying (see Start and Programmes, and see Laundry).

●

The correct drying time has not been selected for the load (see Laundry).

●

The air intake grille is obstructed (see Installation, and see Maintenance).

●

The items were too wet (see Laundry).

●

The dryer was overloaded (see Laundry).

Empty water message is displayed but the dryer has only been running for a short period.

Empty water message is displayed and the water container is not full.

Programme finishes and clothes are damper than expected.

The display shows a fault code F followed by one or two numbers.

The display briefly shows DEMO ON every 6 seconds.

The lights on the dryer control panel are off although the dryer is switched on.

●

The water container was probably not emptied at the start of the programme. Do not wait for the empty water signal, always check and empty the container before starting a new drying programme (see Maintenance).

●

This is normal, the: END OF CYCLE, CLEAN FILTER AND EMPTY THE WATER BOTTLE message is shown as a reminder to empty the container (see The Display and Start and Programmes).

! For safety the dryer has a maximum programme time of 5 hours. If an automatic programme has not sensed the required final moisture in this time the dryer will complete the programme and stop. Check the above points and run the programme again, if the results are still damp, contact the Service Centre (see Service).

●

If the display shows a fault:

- Turn off and remove the plug. Clean the filter and the heat pump filter unit (see Maintenance). Then replace the plug, turn on and start another programme. If a fault is then displayed: Note down the code and contact the Service Centre (see Service).

●

The dryer is in ‘Demo’ mode. Press and hold both the On/Off and Start/Pause buttons for 3 seconds. The display will show DEMO OFF for 3 seconds and then the dryer will resume normal operation.

●

The dryer has gone into standby mode to save power. This occurs if you have had a power cut or leave your dryer either without starting a programme or after your drying programme has finished.

- Press and hold the On/Off button and the lights will come on.

Service

Heat Pump System

This dryer is fitted with a sealed heat pump system to dry your clothes. To operate, the heat pump contains fluorinated greenhouse gases (F gases) which are covered by the Kyoto Protocol. These F gases are contained in a hermetically sealed unit. This sealed unit contains 0.29kg of the F gas R134a which acts as a refrigerant. If the sealed unit fails then it must be replaced by a new sealed unit. Contact your nearest Service Centre for advice.

●

Note: The gases contained in the sealed system are not hazardous to health, but if they escape they will have an impact on global warming.

Before calling the Service Centre:

●

Use the troubleshooting guide to see if you can

solve the problem yourself (see Troubleshooting).

●

If not, turn off the dryer and call the Service Centre

closest to you.

What to tell the Service Centre:

●

name, address and post code.

●

telephone number.

●

the type of problem.

●

the date of purchase.

●

the appliance model (Mod.).

●

the serial number (S/N). This information can be found on the data label inside the door of the machine.

Spare Parts

This dryer is a complex machine. Repairing it yourself or having a non-authorised person try to repair it could cause harm to one or more persons, could damage the machine and could invalidate the spare parts warranty. Call an authorised technician if you experience problems while using the machine.

●

Please note: it is an offence for an unqualified person to undertake any servicing or repair work that involves breaking into the sealed heat pump unit.

Save energy and respect the environment

●

Wring out items to eliminate excess water before tumble drying (if you use a washing machine first, select a high spin cycle). Doing this will save time and energy during drying.

●

Always dry full loads - you save energy: single items or small loads take longer to dry.

●

Clean the filter after each use to contain energy consumption costs (see Maintenance).

Installation

Torktumlarens placering

●

Placera torktumlaren på behörigt avstånd från gasspisar, -värmare eller -plattor. Flammorna kan skada maskinen.

●

Torktumlaren bör installeras i en omgivande rumstemperatur av mellan 20 till 23°C för optimal prestanda. Den kommer dock att fungera i fall rumstemperaturen är mellan 14 och 30°C.

Minsta öppning 10mm

●

Om du avser att installera maskinen under ett arbetsbord, ska du av

Minsta öppningar

15mm

ventilationsskäl lämna ett 10 mm långt avstånd mellan maskinens överdel och

andra objekt på eller över maskinen samt ett 15 mm långt avstånd mellan maskinens sidor och eventuella sidoobjekt. Maskinen ska installeras med bakstycket placerat mot en vågg. ! Kontrollera att ventilerna på maskinens baksida inte är blockerade.

Ventilation

Ventilationen måste vara tillfredsställande när torktumlaren inte används. Torktumlaren bör stå i en torr och välventilerad miljö. Luftflödet runt torktumlaren spelar en avgörande roll för kondensering av det vatten som produceras under tvättning. Torktumlaren fungerar inte effektivt i ett trångt utrymme eller ett skåp. ! Viss kondensering kan förekomma om torktumlaren används i ett litet eller kallt rum.

! Vi rekommenderar inte att torktumlaren installeras i ett skåp. Torktumlaren får aldrig installeras bakom en låsbar dörr, en skjutdörr eller en dörr med klinka på den motsatta sidan av tumlarens dörr.

Avlopp

Om torktumlaren inte monterats bredvid ett avlopp så kan vattnet ledas in i avloppet. Detta gör att man inte behöver tömma vattenbehållaren. Om torktumlaren står ovenpå eller är monterad bredvid en tvättmaskin så kan den dela samma avlopp. Avloppets höjd måste vara mindre än 1m från torktumlarens botten.

Ta bort den befintliga slangen från läget som visas i bild A.

bild A

Montera därefter en slang av lämplig längd i läget som visas på bild B.

! Säkerställ att slangen inte kommer i kläm eller trasslas till när torktumlaren står på sin slutliga plats.

bild B

Räta upp din torktumlare

Torktumlaren måste installeras på ett jämnt underlag för korrekt funktion.

När du har installerat din torktumlare på sin slutliga plats, kontrollera först att den står jämnt från sida till sida och därefter från framsidan till baksidan. Om torktumlaren inte står jämnt, justera de två frambenen uppåt eller nedåt tills din torktumlare står jämnt.

! VARNING: Innan du tar din torktumlare i bruk, se till att den har stått i upprätt läge i minst 6 timmar.

Varningar

För att minimera risken för brand i torktumlaren bör följande iakttas:

●

Torktumla endast plagg som har tvättats med lösningsmedel och vatten, sköljts och centrifugerats. Torkning av plagg som INTE har tvättats i vatten utgör en eldfara.

●

Torka inte plagg som har behandlats med kemiska produkter.

●

Torktumla inte torra föremål som har fläckar av, eller är indränkta i vegetabilisk olja eller matolja, eftersom detta utgör en brandrisk. Oljepåverkade föremål kan självantända, särskilt när de utsätts för värmekällor som t.ex. torktumlare. Föremålen blir varma, vilket orsakar en oxidationsreaktion med oljan, oxidation skapar värme. Om värmen inte kan ta sig ut kan föremålet bli tillräckligt varmt för att fatta eld. Oljepåverkade föremål som läggs på hög, staplas eller lagras kan förhindra värme från att ta sig ut och på så sätt skapa en brandrisk. Om det är oundvikligt att tyger som innehåller vegetabilisk olja, matolja eller hårvårdsprodukter ska torktumlas måste de först tvättas i en tvättmaskin med tvättmedel. Detta minskar, men eliminerar inte faran. Föremålen får inte tas ut ur torktumlaren och läggas på hög eller staplas så länge de är varma.

●

Torktumla inte torra föremål som tidigare har rengjorts i, tvättats i, dränkts in i eller förorenats av bensin, kemtvättlösningsmedel eller andra brandfarliga eller explosiva ämnen. Mycket brandfarliga ämnen som ofta används i hemmiljöer som t.ex. matolja, aceton, denaturerad alkohol, fotogen, fläckborttagningsmedel, terpentin, vax och vaxborttagningsmedel. Säkerställ att dessa föremål har tvättats i varmt vatten med extra mycket tvättmedel innan de torkas i torktumlaren.

●

Torktumla inte föremål som innehåller skumgummi (även kallat latex), eller föremål som på något sätt är av gummiliknande material. Skumgummi kan, när det värms upp, orsaka självantändning.

●

Sköljmedel och liknande produkter bör inte använ das i torktumlaren för att eliminera statisk elektricitet, om det inte specifikt rekommenderas av sköljmedlets tillverkare.

●

Torktumla inte underkläder som innehåller metallförstärkningar t.ex. BH med metallbygel. Skador på torktumlaren kan uppstå om metalldelen lossnar under torkning.

●

Torktumla inte torrt gummi, plastartiklar som t.ex. duschmössor eller vattentäta skydd/överdrag för spädbarn, polyeten eller papper.

●

Torktumla inte artiklar med gummistöd, kläder med skumgummikuddar, kuddar, galoscher och gummerade tennisskor.

●

Töm fickorna på föremål, såsom tändstickor o.s.v.

! VARNING: Stanna aldrig tumlaren innan torkcykeln är slut, såvida inte alla plagg fort avlägsnas och sprids ut så att värmen skingras.

Underhåll och skötsel

Bryta strömmen

! Bryt strömmen till torktumlaren när du inte använder den samt vid rengöring och underhåll.

Rengör filtret efter varje torkperiod

Filtret utgör en viktig del av torktumlaren. Den samlar upp ludd och fibrer som bildas vid torkning. Även vissa mindre föremål kan fastna i filtret.

Rengör därför filtret när du har slutat att använda torktumlaren genom att skölja det under rinnande vatten eller dammsuga det. Luftflödet i torktumlaren hämma starkt om filtret blockeras: torktiden förlängs och energiförbrukningen ökar. Även torktumlaren kan komma att skadas.

Filtret sitter framför torktumlarens inre system (se diagram på nästa sida). Så här avlägsnar man filtret:

1. Dra upp filtrets plasthandtag.

2. Öppna filtret och ta bort luddet från insidan.

3. Sätt tillbaka det korrekt. Kontrollera att filtret sitter rätt mot torktumlaren.

4.Ta bort eventuellt ludd som ansamlats på insidan av öppningen och runt luckans tätning.

! Använd inte en torktumlare som saknar filter.

Rengöra värmepumpens filterenhet

Avlägsna regelbundet (var femte torkperiod) värmepumpens filterenhet och avlägsna luddansamlingar på filterytan. Vi rekommenderar dock att du rengör filtret efter VARJE torkperiod för att optimera torktumlarens funktion.

Avlägsna värmepumpens filterenhet:

1. Koppla bort torktumlaren och öppna luckan.

2. Dra upp locket på värmepumpens filterenhet (se diagram på nästa sida). Sätt de fyra klämmorna i vertikalt läge och dra därefter filterenheten mot dig.

3. Ta isär filterenhetens två delar och rengör filterytan.

! Värmepumpens framsida är tillverkad av två tunna metallplåtar. Var försiktig så

att du inte skadar dessa eller skär dig när du rengör, avlägsnar eller byter ut filterenheten.

När du rengör värmepumpens filterenhet, avlägsna alltid ansamlingar av ludd från metallplattornas yta.

4. Avlägsna luddet noga med en fuktig trasa, svamp eller en dammsugare. Använd aldrig dina fingrar.

5.Sätt ihop de två filterdelarna igen, rengör tätningarna och sätt åter de fyra klämmorna i horisontellt läge. Se till att låsanordningarna hakar i.

Töm vattenbehållaren efter varje cykel

Dra ut behållaren från torktumlaren och ta bort antingen det lilla eller det stora locket och töm det i ett handfat eller annat lämpligt avlopp. Sätt på locket igen och för in

behållaren ordentligt på plats. ! Kontrollera alltid behållaren och töm den innan du startar ett nytt torkprogram.

! Om behållaren för vattenuppsampling inte töms kan följande inträffa:

- Maskinens uppvärmning slutar att fungera (tvätten är fortfarande fuktig när torkprogrammet har avslutats).

Fylla vattenuppsamlingssystemet

När din torktumlare är ny kommer vattenbehållaren inte att samla upp vatten tills systemet har fyllts på...detta tar 1 till 2 tumlingscykler. När systemet har fyllts på kommer det att samla vatten under varje tumlingscykel.

Kontrollera trumman efter varje torkperiod

Lock till värmepumpens filterenhet

Rengöra torktumlaren

●

Externa delar av metall, plast eller gummi kan rengöras med en mjuk trasa.

●

Dammsug periodvis (var sjätte månad) grillen vid det främre luftintaget och ventilationen på torktumlarens baksida för att avlägsna ansamling av ludd, lin eller damm. Använd även dammsugare för att avlägsna ludd från värmepumpens framsida och filterområdena.

! Använd inte lösningsmedel eller slipmedel. ! Låt en auktoriserad tekniker regelbundet undersöka

att torktumlarens elsystem och mekaniska system är säkert (se Service).

Snabbtips

●

Kom ihåg att rengöra luckans filter och värmepumpen efter varje torkning.

●

Kom ihåg att tömma vattenuppsamlingsbehållaren efter varje användning.

! På detta sätt fungerar maskinen på bästa sätt.

Vrid trumman för hand för att avlägsna eventuella mindre föremål (exempelvis näsdukar).

Rengöra trumman

! Använd inte stålull, rengöringsprodukter med slipmedel eller för rostfritt stål för att rengöra trumman.

En färgad beläggning kan uppstå på den rostfria trumman, orsakad t.ex. av vattnet eller en kombination av vatten och mjukmedel från tvätten eller andra liknande medel. Beläggningen påverkar inte torktumlarens effektivitet.
