Where to put your dryer

• Place your dryer at a distance from gas ranges, stoves, heaters, or cooktops 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. If you are going to install the appliance under a work counter, be sure to leave a 10 mm space between the top and any other objects on or above the machine and a 15 mm 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.

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 will 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.

order to reach the drain. To install the new tube just substitute the existing one as indicated in figure B inserting it in the same place.

! The drain tube has to be below 1 m from the bottom of the Dryer. ! Once the Dryer has been installed please assure that the drain

tube is not bent or kinked.

Electrical connections

Before plugging the appliance into the socket, check the following:

• Make sure your hands are dry.

• The socket must have an earth connection.

• The socket must be able to withstand the machine’s maximum power output as indicated on the rating plate (see Description

of the tumble dryer)

• The power supply voltage must fall within the values indicated on the data plate (see

Description of the tumble dryer).

• The socket must be compatible with the dryer’s plug. Should this not be the case, replace the plug or the socket.

! DO NOT USE EXTENSION CORDS. ! The dryer must not be installed outdoors,

even if the space is sheltered. It can be very dangerous if exposed to rain or storms. ! Once installed, the dryer’s electrical wire and plug must be within reach. ! The power cord must not be bent or squashed.

! If the plug being replaced is a nonrewirable type, then the cut-off plug must be disposed of safely. DO NOT leave it where it can be inserted into a socket and create a shock hazard.

! The power must 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. (see Assistance). New or longer electric cords are supplied by authorised dealers at a supplementary cost.

! The manufacturer denies any

responsibility should any of these rules not be followed. ! If in doubt about any of the above consult a qualified electrician.

Water Drain

If the machine is positioned close to a drain it is possible to drain the condensed water directly without using the waterbottle. In which case it is no longer necessary to empty the water bottle at the end of each cycle. If the Dryer is positioned above or close to a Washing Machine the same drainage can be used. Just remove the tube indicated in figure A and connect it to the drainage. If the drainage is further away than the length of the tube it is possible to buy and connect a tube of the same diameter and the necessary length in

Levelling the tumble dryer

The dryer must be installed level for correct operation. When you have installed your dryer in its final

Warnings

! This 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 appliance can be used by children aged from 8 years and above and persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities or lack of experience and knowledge if they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance in a safe way and understand the hazards involved.

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

• Do not touch the appliance while barefoot 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 shall 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 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 liquid fabric softeners in the dryer; add it to the final rinse of your wash.

• 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.

• Do not tumble dry acrylic fibres at high temperatures.

• Do not turn off the dryer when there are still warm items inside.

• Clean the filter after each use (see Maintenance).

• Empty the Water Container after each use (see Maintenance).

• Clean the Heat Pump filter unit at regular intervals (see Maintenance).

• Do not allow lint to collect around the dryer.

• Never climb on top of the dryer. It could result in damage.

• Always follow electrical standards and requirements (see Installation).

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

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 withhair 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 waterproof 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.

Save energy and respect the environment

• Wring out all 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).

Care and maintenance

Disconnecting the power supply

! Disconnect the dryer when not in use or during cleaning and maintenance operations.

Cleaning the filter after each cycle

The filter is a fundamental component of the dryer: its function is to collect lint and fluff that form during drying.

Clean the filter once drying is completed, by rinsing it under running water or cleaning it with a vacuum cleaner. Should the filter become clogged, the flow of air inside the

dryer will be seriously hampered: drying times becomes longer and more energy is consumed. Moreover, the dryer may become damaged.

The filter is located in

front of the dryer seal

(see Picture).

Removing the filter:

1. Pull the filter’s plastic

handle upwards (see

Picture).

2. Clean the fluff off the filter and replace it correctly. Ensure that the filter is pushed fully home. ! Do not use the dryer unless the filter has been replaced in its holder.

Checking the drum after each cycle

Rotate the drum manually to remove smaller items (handkerchiefs) that could have been left inside the dryer.

Cleaning the drum

! Avoid using abrasives, steel wool or stainless steel cleaning

agents to clean the drum. A coloured film may appear on the stainless steel drum surface: it may be caused by a combination of water and/or cleaning agents such as wash-softeners. This coloured film does not affect the dryer’s performance.

Emptying the water container after each cycle

Remove the water container and empty it into a sink or other suitable drain outlet, then replace it correctly. Always check the water container and empty it before starting a new drying cycle.

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

- The dryer stops heating (thus the load may still be damp at the end of the drying cycle).

- The “Empty water container” LED activates to show that the water container is full.

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 cycle.

Cleaning the Heat Pump Filter Unit

• Periodically (every 5 drying cycles) remove Heat pump filter unit and clean any build up of fluff from the surface of the filter by rinsing it under running water or with your vacuum cleaner. We however recommend that you clean this filter after every drying cycle to optimise the

dryers performance.

To remove Heat pump filter unit:

1. Unplug the dryer and open the door.

2. Remove the filter unit by rotating the 4 clips to the vertical position then pulling the filter unit towards you.

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

! Warning: 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 filter unit.

4.Whenever you clean the Heat pump filter

unit always clean any build up of fluff from the surface of the metal plates.

Carefully clean this fluff off with a damp cloth,sponge or vacuum

cleaner. Never use your Fingers.

5. Assemble the two

parts of the filter clean the surface of the seals and replace with the 4

clips into the horizontal position, sure that the catches have been secured.

Cleaning the tumble dryer

• The external metal, plastic and rubber parts can be clea-

ned with a damp cloth.

• Clean the front air intake grille regularly (every 6 months) with a vacuum cleaner to remove any lint, fluff or dust deposits. Furthermore, remove any lint deposits from the front part of the condenser and from the filter area, using a vacuum cleaner every so often.

! Do not use solvents or abrasives. ! Have the dryer checked regularly by authorised technical per-

sonnel in order to ensure that the electrical and mechanical parts work safely (see Assistance).

Quick Tips !Remember to clean your filter and Heat Pump filter unit after each load. ! Remember to empty your water container after each load. ! Doing this will keep your machine working at its BEST!

Special Programmes

Easy Iron Programme

Easy Iron is a short 10 minute programme (8 minutes of heat followed by a 2 minutes cool tumble period) which fluffs the fibres of clothing that has been left in the same position/location for an extended period of time. The cycle relaxes the fibres and makes them easier to iron and fold.

! Easy 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 maximum capacity. These numbers refer to dry weight: Fabric: Max Cotton and Cotton mix 2.5 kg Synthetics 2 Denim 2

2. Unload the dryer immediately after the end of the drying cycle, hang, fold or iron the articles and put them away in the closet. Should this not be possible, repeat the cycle. The Easy Iron effect varies from one fabric to the next. It works very well on traditional fabrics like Cotton or Cotton mix, and less well on acrylic fibres and on materials such as Tencel.®

Laundry

Sorting laundry

• Check the symbols on the care labels of the various gar-

ments to verify whether the garments can be safely tumble dried.

• Sort laundry according to the type of fabric.

• Empty all pockets and check for loose buttons.

• Close zips and hooks and fasten belts and strings without tightening them.

• Wring out garments to remove the maximum amount of water possible.

Do not load the dryer when garments are dripping wet.

Maximum load sizes

Do not overload the drum. The following values indicate the weight of dry garments: Natural fibres: maximum kg Synthetic fibres: maximum kg

! Do not overload the dryer as this may result is reduced drying performance.

Care labels

Always check the care labels, especially when placing garments in the tumble dryer for the first time. Below are the most commonly used symbols:

May be tumble dried.

Do not tumble dry.

Tumble dry – high heat.

Tumble dry – low heat.

Drying times

Drying times are approximate and may vary depending on the following:

• Amount of water retained by items after the spin cycle: towels and delicate items retain a lot of water.

• Fabrics: items of the same fabric, but with different texture and thickness may have different drying times.

• Amount of laundry: single items and small loads may take longer to dry.

• Drying: if items are to be ironed, they can be removed from the dryer while still slightly damp. Items that require complete drying can be left longer.

• Heat setting.

• Temperature of the room: the lower the temperature of the room, the longer it will take for the dryer to dry clothing.

• Bulk: certain bulky items require special care during the drying process. We suggest removing these items and replacing them in the dryer once they have been shaken out: repeat this procedure several times during the course of the drying cycle.

! Do not over-dry items. All fabrics contain natural dampness which helps to keep them soft and fluffy.

The drying times provided refer to the automatic Cupboard dry programmes. The Timed drying settings are also indicated to enable you to select the most suitable timed option. The weight refers to dry items.

Problem:

The dryer won’t start.

Drying cycle will not begin.

It is taking a long time to dry.

The Empty water light is flashing but the dryer has only been running for a short period.

Possible causes / Solutions:

• 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 button has not been pressed (see Start and Programmes).

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

• You have pressed the start button; there will be a short delay before the dryer starts. Wait for drying to begin,do not press the start button again or the dryer will pause and not begin drying.

• The filter has not been cleaned (see Maintenance).

• The water container needs emptying? The empty water

message is displayed?

• 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 Laundry).

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

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

• The items are too wet (see Laundry).

• The dryer is overloaded (see Laundry).

• 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).

(see Maintenance).

light is flashing and “h2o”

Empty water light is on and the water container is not full.

Programme finishes and clothes damper than expected.

The Display shows a fault code F followed by one or two numbers, the option lights and pause light are flashing.

The display briefly shows “dOn” every 6 seconds.

Time to End display changes during drying.

The dryer makes a thumping noise during the first few minutes of operation.

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

on.

• This is normal the empty water flashes when the container is full. If the light is on but not flashing its just a reminder to empty the container (see 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 to damp, contact the service centre (see Service).

• If the display shows F followed by one or two numbers, Turn off and remove plug, Clean the Filters (see Maintenance). Then replace plug turn on and start another program. If the number is displayed again Note down the number 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 “dOn” for 3 seconds and then the dryer will resume normal operation.

• The time to end is continuously monitored throughout the drying cycle and the time is adjusted to give the best-estimated time. The displayed time may increase during the cycle and this is normal.

• This is normal, particularly if the dryer has not been used for a while. If the noise persists throughout the whole drying cycle then contact the service centre.

• The dryer has gone into standby mode to save power. This occurs if you have left the dryer on or have had a power cut. It occurs after 30 minutes:

- if you leave the dryer without starting a programme;

- after your drying programme has finished. Press and hold the ON/OFF button until the dryer reactivates

Kam nainstalovat sušičku

• Plameny mohou sušičku poškodit, a proto musí být nainstalována v dostatečné vzdálenosti od plynových sporáků, kamen, radiátorů nebo varných desek.

Kvůli dosažení optimální výkonnosti musí být sušička nainstalována v místnosti s teplotou prostředí od 20 do 23 °C. Je však funkční v teplotním rozmezí od 14 do 30 °C. Pokud má být tento elektrospotřebič nainstalován pod pracovní deskou, je třeba nechat 10 mm volného prostoru mezi horním panelem elektrospotřebiče a ostatními předměty, které se nacházejí nad ním, a 15 mm volného prostoru mezi bočními panely elektrospotřebiče a stěnami nebo přilehlým zařízením. Tímto způsobem bude zaručen dostatečný oběh vzduchu.

Zařízení musí být nainstalováno tak, aby byl jeho zadní povrch přisunutý ke stěně

Ventilace

• Když je sušička v činnosti, vyžaduje přítomnost dostatečné ventilace. Ujistěte se, že byla sušička nainstalována do prostředí bez vlhkosti, vybaveného vhodným oběhem vzduchu. Proud vzduchu kolem sušičky je nezbytný pro umožnění kondenzace vody vytvářené během praní; když je sušička umístěna do uzavřeného prostoru nebo dovnitř nábytku, nepracuje správně. ! Při použití sušičky v malé nebo chladné místnosti se může stát, že se vytvoří malé množství kondenzátu.

! Instalace sušičky do skříně se nedoporučuje; tento elektrospotřebič nesmí být nikdy nainstalován za dveře, které se dají zavřít na klíč, za posuvné dveře nebo za dveře se závěsem na opačné straně vůči dvířkům sušičky.

! Hrdlo vypouštěcího potrubí se musí nacházet o 1 m níže než dno sušičky. ! Po instalaci sušičky se ujistěte, že vypouštěcí hadice není ohnutá ani zamotaná.

Obr. A Obr. B

Připojení k elektrické síti

Před zasunutím zástrčky do zásuvky elektrické sítě proveďte kontrolu podle následujících bodů:

• Ujistěte se, že máte suché ruce.

• Zásuvka musí být vybavena uzemněním.

• Použitá zásuvka musí být schopna vyhovět maximálnímu výkonu tohoto zařízení, uvedenému na štítku s provozními údaji (viz Popis sušičky).

• Napájecí napětí musí být v rozmezí hodnot uvedených na štítku s provozními údaji (viz Popis sušičky).

• Zásuvka musí být kompatibilní s typem zástrčky sušičky. V opačném případě zajistěte výměnu zásuvky nebo zástrčky.

! NEPOUŽÍVEJTE PRODLUŽOVACÍ KABELY.

! Sušička nesmí být nainstalována do vnějšího

prostředí, a to ani v případě, že se jedná o chráněné prostředí. Může být totiž velmi nebezpečné vystavovat tento elektrospotřebič dešti nebo bouřkám.

Vypoušt�ní vody

Když je zařízení umístěno v blízkosti vypouštěcího potrubí, je možné odvést zkondenzovanou vodu přímo, bez použití sběrné nádoby na zachytávání vody. V tomto případě nebude potřebné vyprazdňovat nádobu na zachytávání vody po každém cyklu. V případě umístění sušičky nad nebo vedle pračky může sušička využívat stejné vypouštěcí potrubí. Stačí odpojit trubku uvedenou na obrázku A a připojit ji k vypouštěcímu potrubí. Když se vypouštěcí potrubí nachází dále, než kam může dosáhnout vypouštěcí hadice sušičky, je třeba zakoupit a připojit hadici stejného průměru a potřebné délky. Při instalaci nové hadice stačí vyměnit existující hadici způsobem znázorněným na obrázku B a vložit ji do stejné polohy.

! Po instalaci sušičky musí elektrický kabel i zástrčka zůstat přístupné.

! Elektrický kabel se nesmí ohýbat ani stlačovat.

! Když je zástrčka, která má být vyměněna, zalisovaná tak, že tvoří s kabelem jeden kus, je třeba ji zlikvidovat bezpečným způsobem. NENECHÁVEJTE ji tam, kde by mohla být zasunuta do zásuvky a způsobit zásah elektrickým proudem.

Vyrovnání sušičky do vodorovné polohy

Aby mohla sušička dokonale pracovat, musí být nainstalována ve vodorovné poloze. Po nainstalování sušičky do de nitivní polohy zkontrolujte její vyrovnání do vodorovné polohy, nejdříve z jednoho boku na druhý, a poté vyrovnání mezi její přední a zadní částí. Když se sušička nenachází ve vodorovné poloze, seřiďte její dvě přední nožičky do vyšší nebo nižší polohy, dokud nedosáhnete vyrovnání.

• Při odpojování spotřebiče od sítě tahejte za zástrčku, nikoliv za kabel.

• Po použití sušičku vypněte a odpojte od sítě. Nechávejte zavřená dvířka, abyste zajistili, že si s nimi děti nebudou hrát.

• Děti musí mít dozor, aby si nemohly hrát se sušičkou.

• Operace údržby a čištění nesmějí provádět děti bez dohledu.

• Pokud nejsou děti mladší 3 let pod neustálým dozorem, musí být udržovány v dostatečné vzdálenosti od sušičky.

• Spotřebič musí být správně nainstalován a musí mítzajištěné vhodné větrání. Přívod vzduchu na přední straně sušičky se nesmí nikdy zakrývat (viz Instalace).

• Nikdy nepoužívejte sušičku na koberci, jehož výška vlasu by mohla zabránit vnikání vzduchu do sušičky skrz základnu.

• Před plněním zkontrolujte, zda je sušička prázdná.

• Zadní strana sušičky může být velmi

horká.

Za provozu se jí nikdy nedotýkejte.

• Nepoužívejte sušičku, pokud nejsou  ltr, nádoba na vodu a kondenzátor pevně usazené na svých místech (viz Údržba).

• Nepřeplňujte sušičku (viz maximální hmotnosti náplně v oddílu Prádlo).

• Nevkládejte prádlo, ze kterého kape voda.

• Pečlivě zkontrolujte všechny pokyny na štítcích oděvů (viz Prádlo).

• V sušičce nesušte velké, velmi objemné kusy.

• Nesušte tkaniny s akrylátovými vlákny při vysokých teplotách.

• Nevypínejte sušičku, dokud je uvnitř teplé prádlo.

• Po každém použití vyčistěte filtr (viz Údržba).

Musí se dodržovat následující pokyny pro minimalizaci nebezpečí požáru v sušičce:

• V sušičce sušte pouze prádlo, které bylo vyprané pracím prostředkem a vodou, vymáchané a odstředěné. Sušení prádla, které NEBYLO prané vodou, představuje nebezpečí požáru.

• Nesušte oděvy ošetřené chemickými výrobky.

• V sušičce nesušte prádlo znečištěné nebo nasáklé rostlinným nebo kuchyňským olejem, mohlo by dojít k požáru. Kusy znečištěné olejem se mohou spontánně vznítit, zejména pokud jsou vystaveny účinkům zdrojů tepla jako v sušičce. Jejich zahřátí vyvolá oxidační reakci s olejem a při oxidaci vzniká teplo. Nemůže-li teplo unikat, kusy se mohou ohřát do takové míry, že vzplanou. Skládání, kupení nebo ukládání kusů znečištěných olejem může zabránit úniku tepla, proto představuje nebezpečí požáru. Pokud se nelze vyhnout sušení tkanin obsahujících rostlinný nebo kuchyňský olej nebo znečištěných kosmetickými výrobky pro péči o vlasy nejprve se musívyprat s použitím většího množství pracího prostředku - tím se nebezpečí zmenší, ale nevyloučí. Kusy by se neměly vyjímat ze sušičky a skládat nebo kupit, dokud jsou horké.

• V sušičce nesušte prádlo, které bylo čištěné nebo prané benzínem, chemickými čisticími prostředky nebo jinými hořlavými či výbušnými látkami, nebo je těmito látkami nasycené či znečištěné. Mezi vysoce hořlavé látky běžně používané
