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.

Page 3

Condenser unit - remove any fluff build-up 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.

Step 4 Replace the condenser unit; make sure that the unit is securely in place, that all 3 catches are fixed and that the position arrows on the front end of the condenser are pointing upwards.

Failure to clean the condenser unit may cause premature faults to the dryer.

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

m 1

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.

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 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 cord is supplied fitted with a BS1363 plug

and with a 13 amp BS1362 fuse. If it is necessary to fit a replacement fuse, it must be a 13 Amp ASTA approved to BS1362 type. WARNING: The plug must not be used without a fuse cover. If a replacement fuse holder/cover is required, it must be of the same colour coding or wording as shown on the base of the plug. Replacements are available from authorised dealers.

Moulded plug

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.

 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 cord should be checked periodically and replaced

by a cord specially prepared for this dryer and fitted only by authorized technicians (see Service). New or longer power cords are supplied at an extra charge by authorized dealers.

 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.

Preliminary information

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

duration

The duration of the wash cycles can be monitored on the display.

Special/Sport/Partial Programmes

Eco Time Programme

This programme is ideal for safely drying small loads in a short time, thereby optimising energy consumption. Suitable for loads of up to 2 kg, it lasts about 1:00 (hrs:mins). The programme may last longer depending on the size and density of the load and on the spin speed used during the wash cycle We recommend checking whether garments are labelled with the symbol and to turn them inside out before drying them.

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 1:00 (hrs:mins), 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.

Silk Programme

This programme is specifically intended for drying delicate silk garments. It can be used for loads of up to 0.5 kg. This programme lasts about 1:50 (hrs:mins), 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. If this occurs, remove the load, open the garments and reactivate the programme for a short while. Only for garments bearing the tumble dry symbol on the care label.

Page 9

Jeans Programme

This programme is suited to washing cotton denim jeans. Turn the front pockets inside out before drying the jeans. It is suitable for loads of up to 3 kg (about 4 pairs). This programme lasts about 1:25 (hrs:mins), although it may last longer depending on the size and of the load and on the spin speed used in the wash cycle. Garments dried using this programme are usually ready to be worn, though edges and seams may be slightly damp. In this occurs, turn the jeans inside out and reactivate the programme for a short while. Use this cycle for 100% cotton garments only; do not mix dark and light colours and avoid using this programme for garments with embroidery and accessories (elastic strings around the waist area, brooches, etc.); turn pockets inside out.

Outwear Programme

This programme is specific for drying water-repellent fabrics and sports jackets (e.g. Gore-Tex, polyester, nylon). Drying the garment after a wash cycle has a beneficial effect as it reactivates the garments water-repellent treatment. It can be used for loads of up to 2 kg. The programme lasts about 2:00 (hrs:mins), although it may last longer depending on the size and density of the load and on the spin speed used during the wash cycle.

Sport Intensive Programme

This programme is studied 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. Suitable for loads of up to 4 kg, it lasts about 1:20 (hrs:mins), although it may last longer depending on the size and density of the load and of the spin speed used during the wash cycle. We suggest turning garments inside out before drying them.

Sport Light Programme

This programme is studied 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. Suitable for loads of up to 4 kg, it lasts about 1:10 (hrs:mins), although it may last longer depending on the size and density of the load and of the spin speed used during the washing cycle. We suggest turning garments inside out before drying them.

Special Shoes Programme

This programme is specific for drying sports shoes of sizes 37-46. 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.

Easy Iron

A short 10-minute programme that relaxes the garments fibres in order to facilitate ironing and folding. This programme is particularly recommended for cotton or mixed cotton fabrics. For optimal results, do not overload the drum (the following values refer to the weight of dry garments): Fabric: maximum load Cotton and mixed cotton: 2.5 kg Synthetic garments: 2 kg Jeans: 2 kg Empty the dryer as soon as the programme ends; hang, fold or iron garments then place them in the wardrobe. If this is not possible, repeat the programme. As this is not a drying programme, it is not to be used for garments that are still wet. The effect produced by the programme varies according to the characteristics of the each fabric: fabrics such as acrylic fibres or

do not give the same results as traditional fibres (e.g. cotton).

Tencel

Refresh

A short programme suitable for refreshing fibres and garments through the emission of cool air. It lasts about 0:20 (hrs:mins). As this is not a drying programme, it is not to be used for garments that are still wet.

Page 10

Options

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

Timed drying

After selecting a programme, press the Timed drying button to enter a drying time. Every time this button is pressed, the duration of the selected drying cycle appears on the display. When pressed the first time, the highest allowed value for the selected cycle appears on the display. When pressed each of the following times, the set time is reduced until OFF appears. Three buzzer signals are emitted if the timed drying option is not available. The selected time remains visualised after the start of the programme and cannot be modified after pressing the START/PAUSE button.

Delay Start

The start of some programmes (see Programmes and options) may be delayed up to 24 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.

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.

Post Anti-Crease

When this option is selected, the drum rotates garments at intervals after the cold drying 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.

High Heat

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

Alarm

A buzzer sounds at the end of the drying cycle to signal that the programme has ended and the garments are ready to be removed.

Not all options are available on all programmes (see Programmes and options). If the button of an unavailable option is pressed, the buzzer emits three signals. If an option is available, a single buzzer signal sounds and the option indicator light next to the button lights up to confirm the selected option.

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. The Delay start indicator light flashes and the display visualises the time remaining to the start of the selected programme.  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 Cold drying programme to cool garments if they are judged to be dry enough. Press the START/PAUSE button to start the new programme.

Note: In the event of a power cut, turn the power switch off and remove the plug; when the electricity supply returns, press the START/PAUSE button to resume the programme.

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. Note: when setting the duration of the drying cycle, remember that the cold drying phase runs during the last 10 minutes, during which the dryer does not dry the garments.

Page 12

Special garments

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

 Heat setting.

 Temperature of the room: the lower the temperature of

the room, the longer it will take for the dryer to dry clothing.

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

Starched garments: do not dry together with nonstarched 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.

 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.

 Bulk: certain bulky items require special care during the

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

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

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

each use (see Maintenance).  Clean the condenser unit regularly (see Maintenance).  Do not allow lint to build up around the tumble dryer.  Avoid climbing on the top of the dryer as this may

damage the appliance.  Always comply with electrical regulations and

requirements (see Installation).  Always purchase original accessories and spare parts

(see Assistance).

 WARNING: Never stop the dryer before the end of the

drying cycle unless all items have been quickly removed and hung in order to dispel heat.

Information on recycling and disposal

As part of our continual commitment towards environmental protection, we reserve the right to use recycled quality components to reduce costs for our customers and to minimise materials wastage.  Disposing of the packaging materials: follow local

regulations to allow for recycling of packaging materials.  In order to minimise the risk of injury to children, remove

the door and plug, then cut the power supply cord flush

with the appliance. Dispose of these parts separately to

prevent the appliance from being connected to a power

supply socket.

Disposal of old household appliances

European Directive 2002/96/EC concerning Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) states that household appliances should not be disposed of

using the normal solid urban waste cycle. Exhausted appliances should be collected separately in order to optimise the cost of re-using and recycling materials comprising the machine, while preventing potential damage to public health and the environment. The crossed-out wheeled bin symbol appears on all products to remind owners of the obligations regarding separate waste collection. Owners should contact their local authorities or appliance dealers for further information concerning the correct disposal of household appliances.

Saving energy and respecting the environment

 Wring out items before tumble drying them to remove

the maximum amount of water possible (if they are previously washed in a washing machine, select a spin cycle). This ensures that energy is saved during tumble drying.

 Always use the tumble dryer at full load to save energy:

single items and small loads may take longer to dry.

 Clean the filter at the end of each cycle to reduce 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 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), 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).

Troubleshooting

If you feel that the dryer is not working properly, consult the following troubleshooting suggestions before contacting the Technical Assistance Centre

(see Assistance).

Problem:

The dryer does not start.

The drying cycle does not start.

Drying times are too long.

The Empty water container indicator light flashes, but the dryer has been running for a short time.

Possible causes / Solutions:

 The plug has not been inserted far enough into the socket to make contact.  There has been a power cut.  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

cycle will not start.

 The filter has not been cleaned (see Maintenance).  The water container must be emptied? The Empty water container indicator light

flashes and the message appears  The condenser needs to be cleaned (see 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 items are too wet (see Laundry).  The air intake grille are clogged up (see Installation and Care and Maintenance).  The dryer is overloaded (see Laundry).

 The water container was probably not emptied before starting the programme. Do

not wait for the signal for emptying the water container, but always check and

empty it before starting a new drying programme (see Description of the tumble

dryer).

H2O (see Maintenance).

The Empty water container indicator light is on but the water container is not full.

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

The code F appears on the display followed by one or two numbers, the options indicator lights and the pause indicator light flash.

dOn briefly appears on the display every 6 seconds.

The Remaining time indicator changes during the drying cycle.

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

 It is normal: the Empty water container indicator light flashes when the water

container is full. If the indicator light is on but is not flashing, it only signals that the

water container must be emptied (see Description of the tumble dryer).

! 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).

 If the display visualises F10 or F15, switch the appliance off and unplug it, then clean

the filter and the condenser (see Maintenance). Reinsert the plug, switch the

appliance on and start another programme. If the display still visualises F10 or F15,

contact the Technical Assistance Centre (see Assistance). If the display still

visualises other numbers, mark the code and contact the Technical Assistance

Centre (see Assistance).

 The appliance is in Demo mode. Press the ON/OFF and

and keep them pressed for 3 seconds. The display visualises

seconds, then the dryer starts functioning normally.

 The remaining time is constantly monitored during the drying cycle and is updated

to show the best forecast. It is normal for the displayed time to increase during the

cycle.

 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.
