Installation

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.

Fig. A Fig. B

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

10 mm

15 mm

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 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.

• 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. ! If the plug being replaced is a non-rewirable 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.

Levelling the tumble 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,

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 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).

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 optimize 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

h,sponge or vacuum

clot

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 cleaned 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 Heat pump filter unit 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).

Heat Pump Protection System

The heat pump system has a compressor protection feature that operates if you open the door or there is a power disruption or if you turn off the dryer. This system will prevent the heat pump compressor from starting for 5 minutes after the door is closed and the programme is started.

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 ﬂ uffy .

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.

Description of program

The duration of the drying cycles can be checked on the display1.

• This is a programme for tumble dryer safe garments marked with the symbol

• We recommend that garments are turned inside out before drying.

• Loads dried using this programme are usually ready to wear, but on some heavier garments the edges may be slightly damp. Allow these to dry naturally as over-drying could damage garments.

! Unlike other materials, the mechanism of wool shrinkage is irreversible; i.e. it will not stretch back to original size and shape. ! This programme is not suitable for Acrylic garments.

• This is a programme for drying your delicate silk.

• Loads dried using the Cupboard Dry setting are usually ready to use, but on some garments the edges may be slightly damp. If this is the case, try opening them out or turn items inside out and running the programme again for a short period.

• This is a programme for drying your delicate clothes ie. Acrylics.

• Loads dried using this programme are usually ready to wear, but on some heavier garments the edges may be slightly damp. If this is the case, try turning items inside out and running the programme again for a short period.

• This is a programme for drying your baby’s small delicate items of clothing and bedding (Cotton and Chenille) and for drying your delicate clothes.

• DO NOT dry items such as bibs and nappy pants with plastic coverings.

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

• 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 and runs at this temperature for a maximum of 4 hours or until you stop the cycle by opening the door when the display
