! This symbol reminds you to read this

instruction manual.

! Keep this instruction booklet on hand in order to refer to it when

necessary. Take it with you when you move, and, should you sell this appliance or pass it on to another party, make sure that this booklet is supplied along with the dryer so that the new owner may be informed about warnings and suggestions on how the dryer works.

! Read these instructions carefully; the following pages contain impor-

tant information on installation and suggestions on how the appliance works

nstallation

Where to install the tumble dryer

• Install the dryer far from gas ranges, stoves, radiators or hobs, as flames may damage it. If the dryer is installed below a worktop, ensure there are 10 mm between the upper panel of the dryer and any objects above it, and 15 mm between the sides of the machine and the walls or furniture units adjacent to it. This ensures adequate air circulation.The appliance must be installed with the rear surface placed against a wall.

Ventilation

• The room must be adequately ventilated while the dryer is running. Make sure that the dryer is installed in a room that is not damp and has with adequate air circulation. The flow of air around the dryer is essential to allow water to condense during drying; the dryer will not function properly if it is placed in an enclosed space or inside a cabinet.

! Some condensation may form if the dryer is used in a small

or cold room.

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’ (1 m) from the bottom of the dryer. Remove existing hose from position shown in picture A and fit a suitable length of hose and connect as shown in picture B.

! Make sure that the hose is not squashed or kinked

when the dryer is in its final location.

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.

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

• 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. ! The power must be regularly checked. If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent or simi-larly 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 r

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

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 the dryer unless the filter, watercontainer and condenser 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.

• 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 condenser 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 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 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.

items or small loads take longer to dry. 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 loger 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).

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 condenser unit.

• Remove the condenser (see Picture below) unit regularly (monthly) and clean off any fluff deposits from the plates by rinsing it with cold water running on the rear end of the condenser. Removing the condenser:

1. Disconnect the dryer from the power supply and open the door.

2. Open the condenser cover (see Picture below), unlock the three catches by turning them 90° anti-clockwise, then pull on the grip to remove the condenser.

3. Clean the surface of the seals and replace the unit with the arrows pointing upwards, while making sure that the catches are securely fixed.

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

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

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

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.

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.

Tumble dry – high heat. Tumble dry – low heat.

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.

Drying cycle will not begin.

Its taking a long time to dry.

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).

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

• The filter has not been cleaned (see Maintenance). The water container needs emptying... The ‘water container full’ icon is flashing, the display shows “H20” and the ‘empty water’ icon (see Maintenance).

• The condenser 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).

The ‘water container full’icon is flashing and “H20” displayed but the dryer has only been running for a short period.

Empty water icon 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 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. If the icon is on it is 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 damp, contact the Service Centre (see Service).

• If the display shows a fault:

- Turn off and remove the plug. Clean the filter and the condenser (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).

Service

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

Instalação

Onde instalar a máquina de secar roupa?

• As chamas podem danificar a máquina de secar roupa, que deve pois ser instalada num local afastado de fogões a gás, aquecedores, radiadores ou placas de cozinha. Se o electrodoméstico for instalado sob uma banca, é necessário deixar um espaço de 10 mm entre o painel superior do electrodoméstico e outros objectos colocados sobre o mesmo, e um espaço de 15 mm entre os lados do electrodoméstico e as paredes ou os móveis vizinhos. Deste modo, fica garantida uma circulação do ar adequada. O aparelho deve ser instalado com a superfície traseira posicionada contra uma parede

Ventilação

• Quando a máquina de secar roupa estiver activa, deve existir ventilação suficiente. Certifique-se de que instala a máquina de secar roupa num local sem humidade e com circulação do ar adequada. O fluxo de ar em torno da máquina de secar é fundamental para permitir a condensação da água produzida durante a lavagem. A máquina de secar roupa não funciona correctamente se estiver instalada num espaço fechado ou no interior de um móvel.

! Se a máquina de secar roupa for utilizada numa divisão

pequena ou fria, é possível que se forme uma pequena quantidade de condensados.

! Não é aconselhável instalar a máquina de secar roupa num armário. O electrodoméstico não deve nunca ser instalado por trás de uma porta de fechar à chave, de uma porta de correr nem de uma porta com dobradiças do lado oposto ao da porta da máquina de secar roupa.

Descarga da água

Se a máquina for colocada junto de um tubo de descarga, é possível fazer defluir a água condensada directamente sem ter de utilizar o recipiente de recolha da água. Neste caso, deixa de ser necessário esvaziar o recipiente de recolha da água no fim de cada ciclo. Se a máquina de secar roupa for instalada por cima ou ao lado de uma máquina de lavar roupa, pode partilhar a mesma conduta de descarga. Basta desligar o tubo indicado na figura A e ligá-lo à conduta de descarga.

10 mm

15 mm

Se a conduta de descarga estiver a uma distância superior ao comprimento do tubo, para efectuar a ligação, é possível adquirir e ligar um tubo de diâmetro idêntico e com o comprimento necessário. Para instalar o novo tubo, basta substituir o existente conforme indicado na figura B inserindo-o na mesma posição.

! A conduta de descarga deve ficar 1 m mais baixa

relativamente ao fundo da máquina de secar roupa.

! Depois de ter instalado a máquina de secar roupa,

certifique-se de que o tubo de descarga não está dobrado nem torcido.
