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.

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.

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.

GB

! 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

GB

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.

Clips

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.

GB

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

that the articles can be tumble dried.

●

Sort laundry by fabric type.

●

Empty pockets and check buttons.

●

Close zippers and hooks and tie loose belts and
strings.

●

Wring out each item in order to eliminate as much
excess water as possible.

! 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.

●

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).

GB

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.

●

GB

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).

●

Se l’elettrodomestico
verrà installato sotto un
banco da lavoro, è
necessario lasciare

spazio minima

15 mm

uno spazio vuoto di
almeno 10 mm sopra il
pannello superiore
dell’elettrodomestico;

i pannelli laterali
dovranno invece avere uno spazio libero
intorno di almeno15mm. In questo modo
sarà garantita la circolazione dell’aria.
L’apparecchio deve essere installato con la
superficie posteriore posizionata contro un
muro.
! Controllare che le prese d’aria del
pannello posteriore non siano ostruite.

Aerazione

È importante che l’ambiente in cui si utilizza l’asciugatrice
sia sufficientemente aerato Assicurarsi inoltre che
l’ambiente in cui viene installata l’asciugatrice non sia
umido e che vi sia un adeguato ricambio di aria.
Garantire un adeguato flusso d’aria intorno
all’asciugatrice in modo da permettere che l’acqua
prodotta durante il lavaggio si condensi; l’asciugatrice
non funzionerà correttamente se posizionata in uno
spazio chiuso o all’interno di un mobile.
! Se l’asciugatrice viene utilizzata in una stanza piccola
o fredda è possibile che si generi un po’ di condensa.

! Non è consigliabile che l’asciugatrice sia
installata in un armadio, e non deve mai
essere installata dietro una porta richiudibile a
chiave, una porta scorrevole o una porta con
cerniera sul lato opposto dello sportello
dell’asciugatrice.

Tubo di scarico dell’acqua

Se l’asciugatrice viene collocata vicino ad un tubo di
scarico, è possibile far defluire l’acqua al suo interno.
In questo modo si evita di dover svuotare il recipiente di
raccolta dell’acqua. Se l’asciugatrice viene posizionata
sopra o di fianco ad una lavatrice, può condividere lo
stesso scarico.
L’altezza dello scarico deve essere inferiore a (1m)
dal fondo dell’asciugatrice.

Rimuovere il tubo flessibile
esistente dalla posizione
mostrata nella figura A.

figura A

Poi montare una tubo flessibile
della lunghezza adeguata nella
posizione mostrata nella figura B.

! Assicurarsi che il tubo non sia schiacciato o attorcigliato
quando l’asciugatrice si trova nella sua posizione finale.

figura B

Porre l’asciugatrice su una superficie piana

Per funzionare correttamente l’asciugatrice deve
essere installata su una superficie piana.

Quando si deve installare
l’asciugatrice nella sua posizione
finale assicurasi che sia in posizione
piana primo ai lati e poi davanti
e dietro. Se l’asciugatrice non si
trova su una superficie piana,
regolare i due piedi frontali su o
giù, fino a che si trova in
posizione orizzontale.

Avvertenze

I

Per ridurre il rischio di incendo
dell’asciugatrice, è necessario
osservare i seguenti punti:

• Prima di essere caricati nell’asciugatrice, i

capi devono essere lavati con acqua e
sapone, risciacquati e infine centrifugati.
L’asciugatura di capi che NON siano
stati precedentemente lavati con acqua,
determina il pericolo di incendio.

• Non caricare nell’asciugatrice capi

precedentemente trattati con prodotti
chimici.

• Non asciugare articoli macchiati o

imbevuti di olio vegetale o da cucina,
ciò costituisce un rischio di incendio.
Gli articoli sporchi di olio possono
infiammarsi spontaneamente,
specialmente quando vengono esposti
a fonti di calore come l’asciugatrice.
Gli articoli possono diventare caldi,
causando una reazione di ossidazione
con l’olio, l’ossidazione crea calore. Se il
calore non è in grado di fuoriuscire, gli
articoli possono scaldarsi tanto da
prendere fuoco. L’accumulo,
l’impilamento o il deposito di capi
sporchi/imbevuti di olio può impedire la
fuoriuscita del calore e causare un
incendio.
Se non è possibile evitare di porre
nell’asciugatrice articoli sporchi/imbevuti
di olio vegetale, olio da cucina o lacca,
è prima necessario lavarli con
detergente supplementare, ciò ridurrà,
ma non eliminerà il rischio di incendio.
Che non devono essere rimossi
dall’asciugatrice e impilati o ammucchiati
quando sono ancora caldi.

• Non inserire nell’asciugatrice capi che

sono stati precedentemente lavati, puliti,
imbevuti o lasciati in ammollo in benzina,
solventi a secco o altre sostanze
infiammabili o esplosive, le sostanze
altamente infiammabili usate
comunenmente negli ambienti
domestici, compresi olio da cucina,
acetone, alcol denaturato, cherosene,
sostanze antimacchia, trementina, cere
e sostanze di rimozione cere.
Assicurarsi che questi capi vengano
lavati in acqua calda con una quantità
supplementare di detergente prima di
essere inseriti nell’asciugatrice.

• Non inserire nell’asciugatrice articoli

contenenti schiuma di gomma (detta
anche schiuma di lattice), o materiali
simili. I materiali in schiuma di lattice
quando vengono riscaldati possono
incendiarsi mediante la combustione
spontanea.

• Non utillizzare ammorbidenti o prodotti

simili nell’asciugatrice per eliminare gli
effetti dell’elettricità statica, se non
consigliato espressamente dal
produttore dell’ammorbidente.

• Non inserire nell’asciugatrice indumenti

intimi che contengono rinforzi in metallo,
es. reggiseni con ferretti in metallo.
Se i ferretti si staccano durante
l’asciugatura, possono danneggiare
l’asciugatrice.

•

Non inserire nell’asciugatrice articoli in
gomma solida, in plastica, come cuffie
per la doccia o teli impermeabili di
protezione per bambini, polietilene o
carta.

• Non inserire nell’asciugatrice articoli

foderati in gomma solida, capi con
imbottiture in schiuma di gomma,
cuscini, galosce e scarpe da tennis
rivestite in gomma.

• Togliere tutti gli oggetti dalle tasche,

specialmente accendini e fiammiferi.

! AVVERTENZA: non arrestare mai l’asciugatrice prima della fine del ciclo di asciugatura,
a meno che tutti gli articoli non siano stati rimossi velocemente e stesi, così da
dissipare il calore.

Cura e manutenzione

Scollegamento dell’apparecchio dalla
rete elettrica

! L’asciugatrice deve essere sempre
scollegata quando non è in funzione,
durante le operazioni di pulizia e durante
qualsiasi operazione di manutenzione.

Pulizia del filtro dopo ogni ciclo

Il filtro è un componente fondamentale
dell’asciugatrice: la sua funzione è quella
di raccogliere il laniccio e i nugoli che si
formano durante l’asciugatura.

Al termine di ogni ciclo di asciugatura, è
quindi importante pulire a fondo il filtro,
sciacquandolo sotto l’acqua corrente o
pulendolo con l’aspirapolvere. Se il filtro si
intasa, il flusso dell’aria all’interno sarà
gravemente compromesso: I tempi di
asciugatura si allungheranno e così si
consumerà molta più energia. Potrebbero
anche verificarsi danni all’asciugatrice.

Il filtro si trova vicino alla guarnizione
(vedere diagramma alla prossima pagina).
Rimozione del filtro:

1.Tirare verso l’alto il manico in plastica
del filtro.

2. Aprire il filtro e pulire i
depositi di lanugine
dall’interno.

3. Riposizionarlo in modo
corretto.
Assicurarsi che il filtro
sia inserito fino in
fondo nel relativo

alloggiamento dell’asciugatrice.

4.Rimuovi tutta la lanugine che se è formata
sulla parte interna della porta e sulla
guarnizione.

! Non utilizzare l’asciugatrice se il filtro non
è stato riposizionato.

Pulizia dell’unità filtro della pompa di
calore

Rimuovere regolarmente (ogni 5 cicli di
asciugatura) l’unità filtro della pompa di
calore e pulire gli accumuli di lanugine
dalla superficie del filtro.
Tuttavia, al fine di ottimizzare le prestazioni di
asciugatura consigliamo di pulire questo
filtro dopo OGNI ciclo.

Rimozione dell’unità filtro della pompa di
calore:

1.Scollegare l’asciugatrice e aprire lo
sportello.

2.Aprire il coperchio dell’unità del filtro
della pompa di calore (vedere diagramma
alla prossima pagina).
Sganciare le 4 clip
ruotandole alla
posizione verticale e
poi tirare l’unità filtro
verso di sé.

3.Separare le due parti
del filtro e pulire la
superficie del filtro.

! La parte frontale della pompa di calore
è fatta di piastre di metallo sottile.

Assicurarsi di non danneggiarle o di
tagliarsi quando si esegue la pulizia,
rimuovendo o sostituendo l’unità filtro della
pompa di calore.

Ogni volta che si pulisce il filtro della
pompa di calore rimuovere sempre qualsiasi
accumulo di lanugine dalla superficie delle
piastre metalliche.

4. Rimuovere
accuratamente la
lanugine con un panno
umido, una spugna o
un aspirapolvere.
NON utilizzare MAI le
dita.

I

5.Rimontare le due parti del filtro, pulire le
guarnizioni e sostituirli con i 4 clip in
posizione orizzontale e assicurarsi che i
dispositivi di chiusura siano ben saldi.

Svuotare il recipiente di raccolta
dell’acqua dopo ogni ciclo

Estrarre il recipiente
dell’asciugatrice e rimuovere il
tappo piccolo o quello grande e
svuotarlo in una bacinella o altro
contenitore adeguato.
Riposizionare il tappo e il
contenitore correttamente.

! Controllare sempre il recipiente e svuotarlo prima
dell’avvio di un nuovo programma di asciugatura.

! Il mancato svuotamento del contenitore di
raccolta dell’acqua potrebbe causare:

- L’arresto del riscaldamento della macchina (quindi
il carico potrebbe essere ancora umido alla fine del
ciclo de asciugatura).

●

Caricamento del sistema di raccolta dell’acqua

Quando la vostra asciugatrice è nuova, il
contenitore dell’acqua non raccoglierà finché il
sistema non è a regime.
Ciò potrebbe impiegare 1 o 2 cicli di asciugatura.
Una volta caricato, il sistema raccoglierà l’acqua
ad ogni ciclo di asciugatura.

Coperchio dell’ unità del
filtro della pompa di calore

Pulizia

• Le parti esterne in metallo e plastica e le parti in

gomma possono essere pulite con un panno
umido.

●

Periodicamente (ogni 6 mesi) aspirare la griglia
della presa d’aria frontale e gli sfiati sul retro
dell’asciugatrice per rimuovere ogni eventuale
formazione di lanugine, fili o polvere. Inoltre per
rimuovere accumuli di lanugine dalla parte frontale
della pompa di calore e dalle aree dei filtri, pulire di
tanto in tanto con un’aspirapolvere.

! Non usare solventi o abrasivi.
! Far controllare regolarmente l’asciugatrice da

personale tecnico qualificato per la sicurezza delle
parti elettriche e meccaniche (vedere la sezione
Assistenza).

Consigli Rapidi

●

Ricorda di pulire il filtro porta a la pompa
di calore dopo ogni asciugatura.

●

Ricorda di svuotare il recipiente di
raccolta dell’acqua dopo ogni carico.

! Così facendo, avrai il massimo delle
prestazioni.

Controllo del cestello al termine di ogni
ciclo

Ruotare il cestello manualmente per rimuovere i
piccoli capi (fazzoletti) che potrebbero essere rimasti
all’interno dell’asciugatrice.

Pulizia del Tamburo

! Per la pulizia del tamburo non usare abrasivi, lana di
acciaio o agenti di pulizia di acciaio inossidabile.

Potrebbe formarsi una patina colorata sul tamburo di
acciaio inossidabile, questo potrebbe essere causato
da una combinazione di acqua e/o di agenti di pulizia,
come ammorbidente del lavaggio. Questa patina
colorata non avrà alcun effetto sulle prestazioni
dell’asciugatrice.
