Important information

To ensure that the condenser dryer functions efficiently, the following routine maintenance procedures must be carried out:

Fluff filter – CLEAN off any fluff build-up on the filter after each drying cycle.

Step 1 Open the dryer door by pressing it as shown in the picture.

Failure to clean the filter after each drying cycle can undermine drying performance as the machine takes longer to dry and thus consumes more energy.

Water container – empty the water container after each drying cycle.

Step 1 Pull the water container towards you and remove it completely from the dryer.

Step 2 Empty all the water in the water container.

Step 2 Pull out the filter (using two fingers).

Step 3 Clean off any fluff build-up on the internal surface of the filter net.

Step 4 Replace the filter – never operate the dryer without the filter in place.

Step 3 Replace the water container making sure that it is securely fixed.

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 lights up to signal that the water container is full.

Filling of the Water Container

When the dryer is first used water will not immediately enter the water container as the pump needs to be primed. This is done automatically and will take a few minutes, during this period the efficiency of the drying process is not affected.

from the condenser on a monthly basis.

Step 1 Open the condenser cover

- grip the handle and pull towards you.

Step 2 Remove the condenser by turning the 3 catches, then pull the condenser towards you. (It is normal for some residual water to be left in the tubes).

Step 3 Clean the condenser with running water over the rear side to remove any fluff deposits.

Installation

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.

Ventilation

• The room must be adequately ventilated while the dryer is

running. Make sure that the dryer is installed in a room free of humidity and 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 installing the dryer in a cupboard;

moreover, never install the machine behind a lockable, sliding or hinged door located on the opposite side of the dryer door.

Water drainage

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.

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 data 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 machine’s plug. If

not, either the socket or the plug must be replaced.

! Do not use extension cords. ! The tumble dryer must not be installed in outdoor spaces,

even if sheltered. It may be very dangerous to expose this appliance to rain and thunderstorms.

! Once dryer installation is complete, the electric cord and

plug must be at hand.

! The electric cord must not be bent or crushed. ! If the plug to be replaced is of the moulded-on type, it must

be disposed of in a safe way. DO NOT leave it where it can be plugged into a socket and cause electric shocks.{}

! The electric cord must be regularly checked and replaced

with a cord specifically designed for this dryer; it must then be installed by an authorised technician only (see Assistan- ce). New or longer electric cords are supplied by authorised dealers at a supplementary cost.

! The manufacturer declines all responsibility for failure

to observe these instructions.

! When in doubt about the above indications, contact a

qualified electrician.

Preliminary information

Once the tumble dryer is installed, clean the inside of the drum before operating it and remove any dirt accumulated during transportation.

! Make sure that the hose is not squashed or kinked

when the dryer is in its final location.

Once the set delay time ends, the flashing LED will turn off and the set programme will start.

How to carry out a drying cycle

Starting and selecting a programme

1. Plug the dryer into the power supply socket.

2. Select the programme according to the type of laundry (see Laundry).

3. Open the door, ensure that the filter is clean and securely placed and that the water container is empty and correctly slotted (see

Care and maintenance).

4. Load the machine, making sure that no piece of laundry gets between the door and the relative seal. Close the door.

5. Press the ON/OFF button to start the machine.

6. After consulting the programme chart and the indications for each type of fabric (see Laundry), turn the Programme selection

knob towards the programme corresponding to the type of laundry to be dried (see Programmes and options). ! Warning: If the position of the programme selection knob changes after pressing the START/PAUSE button, the selected programme will NOT be modified. To modify the programme, press the START/PAUSE button to put the programme in pause mode (the indicator light flashes orange), then select a new programme and the relative options. Press the START/PAUSE button to start the new programme.

7. If necessary, set the time of the delayed start and any other options (see Programmes and options).

8. Press the START/PAUSE button to start the drying cycle.

Laundry can be checked while the drying programme runs and any garments already dry can be removed, while drying continues for the remaining items. After closing the door, press the START/PAUSE button to resume machine operation.

9. The final COOL TUMBLE phase (i.e. the fabrics are cooled) activates during the last few minutes of the drying programme; always allow this phase to terminate.

10. When the END indicator light turns on, the programme has ended. The buzzer will beep 3 times to let you know that your programme is complete. Open the door, remove the laundry then clean the filter and replace it. Empty the water container and put it back in its slot (see Care and maintenance). If the “Post Care” option was selected and laundry is not removed immediately, the drum will rotate garments at intervals for 10 hours or until the door is opened.

11. Disconnect the dryer from the power supply.

Special/Sport/Partial Programmes

Eco Time Programme

This programme is ideal for safely drying small cotton loads in a short time, thereby optimising energy consumption. Suitable for loads of up to 2 kg. We recommend checking whether garments are labelled with the symbol and to turn them inside out before drying them. ! The duration of this program will depend on the size of the load and the spin speed used in your washer.

Wool Programme

This programme is specific for items that withstand tumble drying and are labelled with the symbol. It is suitable for loads of up to 1 kg (about 3 jerseys). We recommend turning the garments inside out before drying them. This programme lasts about 60 minutes, although it may last longer depending on the size and density of the load and on the spin speed used during the wash cycle. Garments dried with this programme are usually ready to be worn, although the edges of heavier garments may be slightly damp. Leave them to dry naturally, as an additional drying process may damage them. ! Unlike other materials, the shrinking process in wool is irreversible, i.e. the garment does not resume its original dimension and shape. ! This programme is not suited for acrylic items.

Sport Intensive Programme

This programme is designed for safely drying garments such as tracksuits and shorts bearing the symbol. It is ideal for clothes which do not need to be dried fully. We suggest turning garments inside out before drying them. ! The duration of this program will depend on the size of the load and the spin speed used in your washer.

Sport Light Programme

This programme is designed for safely drying garments such as tracksuits and shorts bearing the symbol. It is ideal for those garments that do not need to be dried fully or which have to be ironed. We suggest turning garments inside out before drying them. ! The duration of this program will depend on the size of the load and the spin speed used in your washer.

Sport Shoes Programme

This programme is specific for drying sports shoes. The shoes must have been previously washed and spun at a minimum spin speed of 400 revolutions. A specific shoe rack is provided and must be used, otherwise the dryer will be damaged if shoes are dried in the drum. Remove the filter from its holder on the front part of the dryer and position the shoe rack. Place shoelaces inside the shoes then load with the tips of the shoes facing downwards and the soles frontwards. Drying times vary according to the shape and type of the shoe. If the shoes are not completely dry at the end of the programme, restart the programme. ! Do not dry shoes that have gel or flashing lights inside them. Only dry shoes made of synthetic material or rope. Once the programme ends, remove the shoe rack and replace the filter into its holder.

Refresh A short programme suitable for refreshing fibres and garments through the emission of cool air. It lasts about 20 minutes.

! As this is not a drying programme, it is not to be used for garments that are still wet.

Timed drying cycle (30’ - 60’ - 90’ - 120’ - 150’) This programme can be used instead of the automatic programmes when you desire setting a time for the drying cycle. It is ideal for drying damp laundry with the low heat setting or for small loads. The duration of the timed drying cycle to be selected depends on the size of the load, on the fabric to be dried (see Table) and the spin speed used in your washer. The COOL TUMBLE cycle runs during the final minutes of the programme.

Options

The options allow for customising the selected programme according to one’s own needs.

Delay start

The start of some programmes (see Programmes and options) may be delayed up to 9 hours. Press the button repeatedly to enter the desired delay time. Before setting a delayed start, make sure that the water container is empty and that the filter is clean.

Post Anti-Crease

When this option is selected, the drum rotates garments at intervals after the COOL TUMBLE cycle has ended, in order to avoid creases forming on garments if they cannot be immediately removed at the end of the programme. During this phase, the indicator light is turned on.

Pre Anti-Crease

When this option is selected in addition to the “Delay start” option, the drum rotates garments at intervals during the delay period to avoid creases forming.

High Heat

When a drying time is selected, pressing this button sets high heat drying and the indicator light above the button lights up. The timed programmes are pre-set to low heat.

! Not all options are available on all programmes (see Programmes and options).

Opening the door

If the door is opened (or the START/PAUSE button is pressed) while a programme is running, the dryer stops and the following may occur:

• The START/PAUSE button flashes orange.

• When a delayed start is running, the delay countdown continues. It is necessary to press the START/PAUSE button to resume the

“Delay start” programme. One of the “Delay start” indicator light flashes to signal the delay time entered.

• It is necessary to press the START/PAUSE button to resume the programme. The progress indicator lights signal the running phase and the START/PAUSE indicator light stops flashing and turns green.

• During the post anti-crease phase, the programme ends. Pressing the START/PAUSE button reactivates a new programme from

the beginning.

• By turning the Programme selection knob, a new programme is selected and the START/PAUSE indicator light flashes green. This

procedure can be used to select the COOL TUMBLE programme to cool garments if they are judged to be dry enough. Press the START/PAUSE button to start the new programme.

Note: If you have a power cut, switch off the power or remove the plug. When power is restored, plug in the machine, press and hold the ON/OFF button until the dryer reactivates, then press Start/Pause button.

Laundry

Sorting laundry

• Check the symbols on the care labels of the various garments 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 7 kg Synthetic fibres: maximum 3 kg

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

Do not tumble dry.

Tumble dry – high heat.

Tumble dry – low heat.

Items not suitable for tumble drying:

• Items containing rubber parts or similar materials, or

plastic film covering (pillows, cushions or PVC sports jackets), any type of inflammable object or objects containing inflammable substances (used towels containing hairspray).

• Glass fibres (certain types of draperies).

• Items which have been previously dry cleaned.

• Items marked with the ITLC symbol (“Special garments”)

, which may be washed using special household pro-

ducts. Follow instructions carefully.

• Large bulky items (duvets, sleeping bags, pillows,

cushions, large bedcovers, etc.) that expand when dried and hamper air circulation inside the tumble dryer.

When mixing synthetic fibres with cotton garments, the latter may still be damp at the end of the drying cycle. If this happens, simply put them through a short drying cycle.

Special items

Blankets and bedcovers: acrylic items (Acilian, Courtelle, Orion, Dralon) must be dried with great care at low heat. Avoid drying for long periods.

Creased or pleated garments: read the drying instructions supplied by the manufacturer.

• 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.

Starched garments: do not dry together with non-starched items. Remove the maximum amount of starch solution possible before placing these items in the dryer. Do not over-dry: starch turns powdery leaving garments limp – this defeats its purpose.

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.

Drying times after wash cycles at lower speeds

• 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.

Warnings and suggestions

! 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 tumble dryer is not intended for use by persons

(including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities , or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for there safety.

• 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.

• Children must not be in proximity of the dryer when in use.

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.

• 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.

• Complete each programme with its Cool Tumble Phase.

• 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. The cool tumble phase should be used to reduce the temperature of the items. 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, especially lighters.

! 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 placed flush with the dryer seal.

! 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.

Cleaning the condenser unit

• Remove the condenser unit regularly (monthly) and clean

off any fluff deposits from the plates by rinsing it with cool 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), 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 and plastic parts and the rubber parts

can be cleaned with the aid of 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. ! The dryer uses ball bearing components that do not require

lubrication.

! Have the dryer checked regularly by authorised technical

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

• The fuse has burned out. Try connecting another appliance to the same socket.

• If an extension cord is used, try connecting the dryer plug directly into the socket.

• The door has not been closed properly.

• The programme has not been set correctly (see How to carry out a drying cycle).

• The START/PAUSE button has not been pressed (see How to carry out a drying

cycle).

• A delayed start time has been set (see Programmes and options).

• The START/PAUSE button has been pressed; a short delay follows before the dryer

starts running. Wait for the drying cycle to start; do not press the START/PAUSE button otherwise the dryer switches to the pause mode and the drying cycle will not start.

• The filter has not been cleaned (see Care and maintenance).

• The water container must be emptied? The “Empty water container” indicator light

flashes (see Care and maintenance).

• The condenser needs to be cleaned (see Care and maintenance).

• The heat setting is not suited to the type of fabric to be dried (see Programmes and

options).

• An incorrect drying time was selected for the type of load (see Laundry).

• The air intake grille or the rear air vents are clogged up (see Installation, and Care

and maintenance).

• The items are too wet (see Laundry).

• The dryer is overloaded (see Laundry).

The “Empty water container” indicator light flashes.

The programme is finished but the items are damper than expected.

The “Options” and “START/PAUSE” indicator lights flash and one of the “Maintenance” or “Drying phases” indicator lights turns on without flashing.

The dryer is noisy during the first few minutes of operation.

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

• The water bottle was not emptied before starting the programme. Always empty

it before starting a new drying programme (see Description of the tumble dryer) do not wait for the bottle full signal (buzzer beeps once every 5 seconds and the indicator light flashes) before emptying the water container.

! For safety reasons, the dryer programmes last a maximum of 4 hours. If an

automatic programme has not detected the final dampness level required in this interval, the dryer completes the programme and stops. Check the above points and repeat the programme; if the items are still damp, contact the Technical Assistance Centre (see Assistance).

• Switch the appliance off and unplug it, then clean the filter and condenser (see “Care and Maintenance”). Reinsert the plug, switch the appliance on and start another

programme. If the problem persists, contact the Technical Assistance Service.

• This is normal, especially if the dryer has not been used for a long time. If the noise

persists during the entire cycle, contact the Technical Assistance Centre.

Informations importantes

Pour assurer le bon fonctionnement du sèche-linge à condensation il faut suivre le schéma d’entretien

ordinaire indiqué ci-dessous :

Filtre à peluches – IL EST NÉCESSAIRE d’éliminer les peluches qui s’accumulent sur le filtre après chaque cycle de séchage.

Étape 1 Ouvrez la porte du sèche-linge en appuyant comme illustré par la figure.

Si le filtre n’est pas nettoyé après chaque cycle de séchage, les performances de l’appareil en sont affectées, car les temps de séchage deviennent plus longs et, par conséquent, la consommation d’électricité augmente pendant le séchage.

Réservoir d’eau – Il est nécessaire de vider le réservoir d’eau après chaque cycle de séchage.

Étape 1 Tirez la poignée du réservoir d’eau vers vous et sortez-le complètement du sèche-linge.

Étape 2 Videz toute l’eau contenue dans le réservoir.

Étape 2 Sortez le filtre (en utilisant deux doigts).

Étape 3 Éliminez tout dépôt de peluches sur la surface intérieure de la maille du filtre.

Étape 4 Remettez le filtre en place – Ne mettez jamais le sèche-linge en marche sans avoir remis le filtre en place.

Étape 3 Remettez le réservoir d’eau en place et assurez-vous qu’il est inséré à fond dans son logement.

Si le réservoir d’eau n’est pas vidé, les problèmes suivants peuvent se vérifier :

- L’arrêt du chauffage de l’appareil (le linge pourrait donc être encore humide à la fin du cycle de séchage).

- La led « Vider l’eau » s’allume pour signaler que le réservoir est plein.

Chargement du système de collecte de l’eau

Quand le sèche-linge est neuf, le réservoir d’eau ne reçoit pas l’eau tant que le système n’est pas chargé. Cette opération peut prendre 1 ou 2 cycles de séchage. Une fois qu’il a été chargé, le système commence à recevoir l’eau à chaque cycle.

Groupe condenseur - Il est nécessaire d’éliminer

séchage pour le programme coton standard à pleine charge

faible puissance. La consommation réelle d’énergie par cycle

les peluches accumulées sur le condenseur tous les mois.

Étape 1 Ouvrez le couvercle du condenseur

- tirez la poignée vers vous.

Étape 2 Enlevez le condenseur en tournant les 3 clips, ensuite tirez le condenseur vers vous. (Dans les tuyaux il pourrait y avoir encore de l’eau : cela est normal).

Étape 3 Nettoyez le condenseur sous l’eau courante par la partie arrière, de manière à éliminer tout dépôt de peluches.

Installation

Où installer le sèche-linge

• Placez votre sèche-linge

à une certaine distance des cuisinières, fourneaux, radiateurs, ou plaques de cuisson à gaz, car les flammes peuvent endommager cet appareil. Si vous installez cet appareil sous un plan de travail, faites en sorte de laisser un espace de 10 mm entre le dessus de l’appareil et tout autre objet sur ou au-dessus de celui-ci, et un espace de 15 mm entre ses côtés et les éléments d’ameublement ou les murs latéraux. Ceci a pour objectif d’assurer une ventilation convenable.

Ventilation

• Lorsque le sèche-linge est en marche, une aération

adéquate est nécessaire. Faites en sorte d’installer votre sèche-linge dans un environnement qui n’est pas humide et qui est doté d’une bonne circulation d’air dans toute la pièce. La circulation d’air autour du sèche linge est essentielle pour condenser l’eau produite au cours du lavage ; le sèche linge ne fonctionnera pas efficacement dans un espace clos ou dans un placard.

! Si l’on utilise le sèche linge dans une pièce froide ou petite,

on rencontrera un certain degré de condensation.

! Nous vous déconseillons d’installer votre sèche-linge dans

un placard ; par ailleurs, le sèche-linge ne doit en aucun cas être placé derrière une porte fermant à clé, une porte coulissante ou une porte montée sur des gonds du côté opposé à la porte de chargement du sèche-linge.

Vidange de l’eau

Si votre sèche-linge est installé à proximité d’une évacuation, l’eau peut être vidangée directement dans ce tuyau. Cela évite d’utiliser et de vider le réservoir d’eau. Si vous installez le sèche-linge au-dessus ou à côté d’un lave-linge, il pourra partager la même vidange. Il suffit de débrancher le tuyau indiqué par la figure A et de le brancher à la vidange. Si la vidange est plus loin que la longueur du tuyau, il possible d’acheter et de brancher un tuyau ayant le même diamètre et la longueur nécessaire. Pour installer le nouveau il suffit de remplacer le tuyau existant comme illustré par la figure B dans la même position.

! La hauteur de la vidange doit être inférieure à 1 m en

partant du bas du sèche-linge.

! Assurez-vous que le tuyau n’est pas écrasé ou plié une

fois le sèche-linge placé dans sa position définitive.

Raccordement électrique

Assurez-vous des points suivants avant de brancher la fiche de l’appareil dans la prise de mains:

• Assurez-vous d’avoir les mains sèches.

• La prise de courant doit être reliée à la terre.

• La prise de courant doit pouvoir supporter la puissance

maximale de la machine, qui est indiquée sur la plaque signalétique de l’appareil (voir Description du sèche-linge).

• La tension électrique doit appartenir à la gamme de

valeurs indiquée sur la plaque signalétique de l’appareil (voir Description du sèche-linge).

• La prise de courant doit être compatible avec la fiche du

sèche-linge. Autrement, remplacez la prise ou la fiche.

! N’utilisez pas de rallonges. ! Le sèche-linge ne doit pas être utilisé à l’extérieur, même si

l’espace en question est abrité. Cela peut être dangereux si l’appareil est exposé à la pluie ou à des orages.

! Une fois le sèche-linge installé, le cordon d’alimentation et

la fiche doivent être d’accès facile.

! Le cordon d’alimentation ne doit pas être courbé ou

écrasé.

! Si la fiche à remplacer est de type incorporée, il faut l’élimi-

ner conformément aux consignes de sécurité. Ne la laissez jamais dans un endroit où elle peut être branchée à une prise et provoquer ainsi un choc électrique.

! Le cordon d’alimentation électrique doit être vérifié pério-

diquement et remplacé par un cordon préparé spécialement pour ce sèche-linge, et installé uniquement par des électriciens agréés (voir Service après-vente). Des cordons d’alimentation neufs ou plus longs sont fournis par les revendeurs agréés contre un supplément..

! Le fabricant rejette toute responsabilité en cas de non-

respect de toutes ou partie de ces règles.

! En cas de doute au sujet des points précédents, con-

sultez un électricien qualifié.

Informations préliminaires

Une fois que vous avez installé votre sèche-linge, et avant de l’utiliser, nettoyez l’intérieur du tambour pour retirer les poussières qui pourraient s’y être accumulées pendant le transport.

Programme Eco Time

Ce programme est idéal pour sécher en toute sécurité de petites charges de linge en peut de temps, ce qui permet d’optimiser la consommation d’énergie. Le programme peut être utilisé pour les cotons pour des charges jusqu’à 2 kg. ! La durée de ce programme dépendra du poids de la charge de linge et de la vitesse d’essorage utilisée lors du lavage. Il est conseillé de vérifier que les articles portent les symbole et de les retourner sur l’envers avant le séchage.

Programme Laine C’est un programme réservé aux articles supportant le séchage au tambour et portant le symbole . Vous pouvez l’utiliser pour des charges jusqu’à 1 kg (3 pull-overs environ). Il est conseillé de tourner les vêtements à l’envers avant de les charger dans le sèchelinge. Ce programme prend 60 minutes environ, mais parfois cette durée se prolonge, selon les dimensions de la charge, sa densité et la vitesse d’essorage du lave-linge. Les charges séchées avec ce programme sont normalement prêtes à porter, mais parfois les bords et les coutures des vêtements plus lourds peuvent s’avérer encore légèrement humides. Laissez-les sécher naturellement, car un autre cycle de séchage à la machine pourrait les endommager. ! Contrairement à d’autres matériaux, la laine subit un processus de rétrécissement qui est irréversible, dans ce sens que le vêtement ne reprend plus sa taille et sa forme d’origine.

! Ce programme n’est pas indiqué pour les articles en acrylique.
