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.

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 (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.

! If the plug being replaced is a nonrewirable 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.

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 unlink the tube indicated in figure A and connect it to the drainage. If the drainage 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 drainage. To install the new tube just

! 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.

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.

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).

- The “Empty water container” LED activates to show that the water container is full.

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

personnel in order to ensure that the electrical and mechani-

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 cloth,sponge or vacuum

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 clea-

ned with a damp cloth.

• Clean the front air intake grille regularly (every 6 months) with a vacuum cleaner to remove any lint, fluff or dust deposits. Furthermore, remove any lint deposits from the front part of the condenser and from the filter area, using a vacuum cleaner every so often.

! Do not use solvents or abrasives. ! Have the dryer checked regularly by authorised technical

cal parts work safely (see Assistance).

Energy Saver Cycles

The Energy Saver Cycles reduce energy consumption and so they not only help the environment, they also cut your energy bill! Energy Saver Cycles are available for several different types of fabric, there is one you can use with cottons, there is one specially for shirts and there is one for use with synthetic fabrics. They have all been designed to guarantee excellent drying performance for small loads. Energy Saver Cycles give the best drying results thanks to perfect temperature regulation and to accurate humidity detection which

is optimized to obtain the best result on small load.

• Standard Cotton: Dries your items to a dryness level that allows you to put your clothes away straight from the dryer.

• Ready to Waer: Dries your items to the maximum possible dryness level. Even drier than Standard Cotton.

• Cotton Hanger: Dries your items to a dryness level that allows them to finish drying on a hanger in order to minimise ironing.

Delicates

• This is a programme for drying your Delicate Clothes i.e. Acrylics.

• It can be used for load sizes up to 2.0 kg.

• Loads dried using this programme are usually ready to use, but on some garments may be slightly damp. If this is found try removing the load and open them out or turn inside out then run the programme again for a short period.

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. 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.

Easy Mix

This programme is ideal for drying cotton and synthetic fabrics together.

Fitness

This programme is studied for safely drying garments such as tracksuits and Fitness suits bearing the symbol. Suitable for loads of

up to 4 kg. We suggest turning garments inside out before drying them.

Jeans

●This is a programme for jeans made from denim cotton. Before drying your jeans turn the front pockets inside out.

●Do not mix dark and light coloured items.

It can also be used on other garments made from the same material, such as jackets. Loads dried using this programme are usually ready to wear, the edges or seams may be slightly damp. If this is the case, try turning the jeans inside out and running the programme again for a short period. ! We do not recommend that you use this programme if your jeans have elastic waist bands, studs or embroidery.

Down Jackets

A cycle intended to dry down jackets, giving their natural softness back (2 jackets).

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

Freshen Up A short programme suitable for refreshing fibres and garments. It lasts about 20 minutes.

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

● It can be used on any load size but is more effective on smaller loads.

Options

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

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 high heat.

Fast Iron This option, when selected, delivers for the cycle chosen the best humidity level to help make ironing quicker and easier. In this

way it is possible to achieve a level of additional drying. (see Programmes and options).

Anti Crease

The Anti-crease option automatically actives a pre and post crease treatment. The Anti-crease by alternating rotation of the drum prevents the formation of wrinkles by rotating repeatedly the garments. The option includes a pre Anti-crease phase, which is activated only when the delay time has been selected, and a post Anti-crease at the end of the drying cycle. The Anti-crease is therefore the best solution to avoid the formation of wrinkles when the delayed start has been activated and when you aren’t available to remove the load immediately the end of the cycle.

Delay timer

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.The

drum will rotate occasionally before the drying programme starts to prevent the formation of creases.

! 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 timer” programme. One of the “Delay timer” 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 care 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.

Heat Pump Protection System

The heat pump sytem has a compressor protection feature, that operates if you open the door or there is a power disruption or 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 started.

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 gar-

ments 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 kg Synthetic fibres: maximum kg

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

Care labels

Always check the care labels, especially when placing garments in the tumble dryer for the first time. Below are the most commonly used symbols:

May be tumble dried.

Do not tumble dry.

Tumble dry – high heat.

Tumble dry – low heat.

Drying times

Drying times are approximate and may vary depending on the following:

• Amount of water retained by items after the spin cycle: towels and delicate items retain a lot of water.

• Fabrics: items of the same fabric, but with different texture and thickness may have different drying times.

• Amount of laundry: single items and small loads may take longer to dry.

• Drying: if items are to be ironed, they can be removed from the dryer while still slightly damp. Items that require complete drying can be left longer.

• Heat setting.

• Temperature of the room: the lower the temperature of the room, the longer it will take for the dryer to dry clothing.

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

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

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.

Troubleshooting

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

Problem:

The dryer does not start.

The drying cycle does not start.

Drying times are too long.

(see Assistance).

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 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 Heat Pump Filter Unit 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 5 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 Heat Pump Filter Unit (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.

The dryer has gone into standby mode to save power. This occurs if you have left the dryer on or have had a power cut. It occurs after 30 minutes:

- if you leave the dryer without starting a programme;

- after your drying programme has finished.

Press and hold the ON/OFF button until the dryer reactivates

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 0.29 kg 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 advise. Note: The gases contained in the sealed unit 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 dryer 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 nonauthorised person try to repair it could cause harm to one or more persons and to the machine, and could invalidate the spare parts warranty. Call an authorised technician if you experience problems while using the machine. Please note that it is an offence for an unqualified person to undertaken any servicing or repair work that involves breaking into the sealed heat pump unit.

Installation

Où installer le sèche-linge

• Placez votre sèchelinge à une certaine distance des cuisinières, fourneaux, radiateurs, ou plaques de cuisson à gaz, car les flammes peuvent endommager cet appareil. Pour garantir un fonctionnement optimal, installez votre sèche-linge dans une pièce à température ambiante entre 20 et 23 °C. Cependant, l’appareil fonctionnera si la température de la pièce se situe entre 14 et 30 °C. 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 celuici, 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. La surface arrière de l’appareil doit être placée contre un mur.

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.

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.

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.

! 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’éliminer conformément aux consignes de sécurité. Ne la laissez

Sécurité générale

• Ce sèche-linge peut être utilisé par des personnes (notamment des enfants de plus de 8 ans) présentant des capacités physiques, motrices ou mentales réduites, ou manquant d’expérience et de connaissances, si elles sont placées sous surveillance ou ont reçu les instructions nécessaires à l’utilisation de l’appareil de la part d’une personne responsable de leur sécurité.

• Ce sèche-linge a été conçu pour un usage domestique, et non professionnel.

• Ne touchez pas cet appareil lorsque vous êtes pieds nus ou avec des mains ou des pieds humides.

• Débranchez cette machine en tirant sur la fiche et non sur le cordon.

• Après avoir utilisé ce sèche-linge, éteignezle et débranchez-le. Tenez la porte fermée pour assurer que les enfants ne jouent pas avec.

• Surveillez les enfants de façon à ne pas les laisser jouer avec le sèche-linge.

• Le nettoyage et l’entretien ne doivent pas être effectués par des enfants non surveillés.

• Les enfants de moins de 3 ans doivent être tenus à bonne distance du sèche-linge s’ils ne sont pas sous surveillance constante.

• Cet appareil doit être installé correctement et avoir une ventilation convenable. L’arrivée d’air sur le devant du sèche-linge et l’évent derrière le sèche-linge ne doivent jamais être obstrués (voir Installation).

• N’utilisez jamais le sèche-linge sur de la moquette où la hauteur des poils empêcherait l’air d’entrer dans la sèchelinge à partir de la base.

• Vérifiez que le sèche-linge est bien vide avant de le charger.

• L’arrière du sèche-linge peut devenir

très chaud.

Ne le touchez jamais en cours d’utilisation.

• N’utilisez pas le sèche-linge si le filtre, le réservoir d’eau et le condenseur ne sont pas bien en place (voir Entretien).

• Ne surchargez pas le sèche-linge (voir Linge pour les charges maximales).

• Ne chargez pas d’articles qui dégouttent d’eau.

• Vérifiez avec soin toutes les instructions sur les étiquettes des vêtements (voir Linge).

• Ne séchez pas d’articles de grande taille, très volumineux.

• Ne séchez pas de fibres acryliques à hautes températures.

• N’éteignez pas le sèche-linge s’il contient encore des articles chauds.

• Nettoyez le filtre après chaque utilisation (voir Entretien).

• Videz le réservoir d’eau après chaque utilisation (voir Entretien).

• Nettoyez le groupe condenseur à intervalles réguliers(voir Entretien).

• Ne laissez pas s’accumuler de peluches autour du sèche-linge.

• Ne montez jamais sur le sèche-linge. Cela pourrait l’endommager.

• Respectez toujours les normes et exigences électriques (voir Installation).

• Achetez toujours des pièces de rechange et accessoires d’origine (voir Service Après-vente).

Vous devez observer les consigne suivantes pour réduire tout risque d’incendie dans votre sèche-linge :

• Ne séchez que des articles qui ont été lavés avec de l’eau et un détergent, rincés et essorés. Le fait de sécher des articles qui N’ONT PAS été lavés avec de l’eau constitue un danger d’incendie.

• Ne séchez pas des vêtements qui ont été traités avec des produits chimiques.

• Ne placez pas d’articles tachés ou imbibés d’huile végétale or de cuisson, ils risqueraient de provoquer un incendie. Les articles contenant de l’huile peuvent prendre feu spontanément, particulièrement lorsqu’ils sont exposés à des sources de chaleur comme un sèchelinge. En chauffant, les articles provoquent une réaction d’oxydation avec l’huile générant alors de la chaleur. Si la chaleur ainsi générée ne peut pas être évacuée, les articles peuvent devenir suffisamment chauds pour prendre feu. Le fait d’empiler, de superposer ou de stocker des articles contenant de l’huile peut empêcher la chaleur d’être évacuée et donc provoquer un incendie. Si vous ne pouvez pas faire autrement que de placer des articles contenant de l’huile végétale ou de l’huile

de cuisson ou ayant été en contact avec des produits coiffants dans le sèche-linge, il convient de les laver au préalable à l’aide d’une dose supplémentaire de détergent. Cette précaution minimise, sans toutefois l’éliminer, le risque d’incendie. Les articles ne doivent pas être retirés du sèche-linge et empilés ou superposés lorsqu’ils sont chauds.

• Ne placez pas d’articles ayant été préalablement nettoyés ou lavés, imbibés ou tachés avec du pétrole/de l’essence, des solvants de nettoyage à sec ou d’autres substances inflammables ou explosives. Les substances hautement inflammables couramment utilisées dans l’environnement domestique sont notamment l’huile de cuisson, l’acétone, l’alcool dénaturé, la kérosène, les détachants, la térébenthine, les cires et les produits permettant d’éliminer la cire. Assurez-vous que ces articles ont été lavés à l’eau chaude à l’aide d’une dose supplémentaire de détergent avant de les mettre à sécher dans le sèche-linge.

• Ne placez pas d’articles contenant du caoutchouc mousse (également connu sous l’appellation mousse de latex) ou des matériaux similaires renfermant du caoutchouc dans le sèche-linge. Les matériaux contenant du caoutchouc mousse peuvent, lorsqu’ils sont chauffés, s’enflammer par combustion spontanée.

• Les produits assouplissants ou les produits similaires ne doivent pas être utilisés dans un sèche-linge en vue d’éliminer les effets de l’électricité statique sauf si leur emploi est spécifiquement recommandé par le fabricant du produit assouplissant.

• Ne placez pas de sous-vêtements contenant des renforts en métal comme les soutiens-gorge à armature dans le sèchelinge. Si les renforts en métal venaient à se détacher pendant le séchage, ils pourraient endommager le sèche- linge.

• Ne placez pas d’articles en caoutchouc ou en plastiquedans le sèche-linge, comme des bonnets de douche ou des couvertures étanches pour bébé, des articles en polyéthylène ou en papier.

• Ne placez pas d’articles contenant des pièces de caoutchouc plaquées, des vêtements présentant des pièces en mousse de caoutchouc, des oreillers, des bottes en caoutchouc et des tennis recouvertes de caoutchouc dans le sèchelinge.

• Enlever tous les objets des poches, notamment les briquets et les allumettes.

! ATTENTION: N’arrêtez pas le sèche- linge avant la fin du cycle de séchage si vous n’avez pas la possibilité de retirer rapidement tous les articles et de les étendre pour évacuer la chaleur.

Économie d’énergie et protection de l’environnement

• Essorez les articles pour éliminer l’eau en excès avant de les passer au sèche-linge (si vous utilisez une machine à laver, sélectionnez un cycle d’essorage à grande vitesse). Ceci vous permettra d’économiser de l’énergie durant le séchage.

• Séchez toujours des charges complètes – vous économiserez de l’énergie : les articles uniques ou les petites charges prennent plus longtemps à sécher.

• Nettoyez le filtre après chaque utilisation pour limiter les coûts de consommation d’énergie (voir Entretien).

Soin et entretien

Interruption de l’alimentation électrique

! Débranchez votre sèche-linge lorsque vous ne l’utilisez pas, lorsque vous le nettoyez et durant toutes les opérations d’entretien.

Nettoyage du filtre après chaque cycle

Le filtre est une pièce importante de votre sèche-linge : il accumule des peluches qui se forment durant le séchage.

Par conséquent, une fois le séchage terminé, nettoyez le filtre en le rinçant sous l’eau courante ou avec votre aspirateur. Si le filtre devient bloqué, le flux d’air à l’intérieur du sèche-linge est

sérieusement compromis : les temps de séchage sont allongés et vous consommez davantage d’énergie. Cela peut aussi endommager votre sèche-linge. Le filtre se trouve devant le joint du sèchelinge (voir figure). Pour retirer le filtre :

1. Tirez la poignée en

plastique du filtre vers le

haut (voir figure).

2. Nettoyez le

filtre et remettez-le

correctement en place.

Assurez-vous que le filtre

soit bien inséré à fond

dans le joint du sèche-

linge. ! N’utilisez pas le sèche-linge sans avoir remis

le filtre en place.

Contrôle du tambour après chaque cycle

Tournez le tambour à la main afin de retirer les petits articles (mouchoirs) qui pourraient y avoir été oubliés.

Nettoyage du tambour

! Pour nettoyer le tambour, ne pas utiliser d’abrasifs, de laine d’acier ni de produits de nettoyage pour acier inoxydable. Un film coloré peut parfois apparaître à la surface du tambour en acier inoxydable. Il peut être dû à une combinaison de l’eau et/ou des produits de nettoyage (ex. adoucissant textile provenant du lavage). Ce film coloré n’affecte pas la performance du sèche-linge.

Vidange du réservoir d’eau après chaque cycle

Sortez le réservoir du sèche-linge et videz-le dans un évier ou autre évacuation appropriée. Remettez le réservoir d’eau bien en place. Toujours vérifier et vider le réservoir avant de commencer un nouveau programme de séchage.

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.

Nettoyage du groupe filtre de la pompe à chaleur

• Périodiquement, tous les 5 cycles, retirer le filtre de la pompe à chaleur et le nettoyer en éliminant tout résidus de peluches de la surface du filtre en lavant ce dernier à l’eau courante ou en les aspirant avec un aspirateur. Pour optimiser les performances de séchage il est toutefois conseillé de nettoyer ce filtre après chaque cycle de séchage. Comment retirer le groupe filtre de la pompe à chaleur :

1. Débrancher la fiche et ouvrir la porte.

2. Retirer le couvercle du filtre de la pompe à chaleur en tournant les 4 clips jusqu’à leur position verticale et sortir le groupe filtre.

3. Séparer les deux parties du filtre, retirer tout dépôt de peluches de la surface intérieure de la maille.

! ATTENTION : l’avant de la pompe à chaleur est réalisé par de minces plaques métalliques.

Quand vous le nettoyez ou que vous enlevez et replacez le bloc filtrant pour le nettoyage, faites attention à ne pas l’endommager et à ne pas vous couper.

4. En plus de la pompe à chaleur, il convient de toujours nettoyer soigneusement l’accumulation de poussière sur les plaques métalliques en utilisant un linge humide, une éponge ou un aspirateur. Ne pas utiliser les doigts.

5. Réassembler les deux parties du filtre, nettoyer la surface du joint et introduire le filtre dans son logement en tournant les 4 clips jusqu’à leur position horizontale, s’assurer que les clips soient bien accrochées.

Nettoyage du sèche-linge

• Pour nettoyer l’extérieur en métal et en plastique et les parties en caoutchouc, utiliser un chiffon humide.

• Périodiquement (tous les 6 mois), aspirez la grille d’entrée d’air de devant, ainsi que les évents à l’arrière du sèchelinge pour retirer toute accumulation de peluche ou de poussière. En outre, pour éliminer l’accumulation de peluche de l’avant du condenseur et de la zone du filtre, nettoyez occasionnellement à l’aide d’un aspirateur.

! N’utiliser ni solvants ni abrasifs. ! Faites vérifier régulièrement votre sèche-linge par des

techniciens agréés pour assurer la sécurité électrique et mécanique (voir Service après-vente).

Conseils rapides

! N’oubliez pas de nettoyer le filtre de la porte et

la pompe à chaleur après chaque séchage.

! N’oubliez pas de vider le récipient recueillant l’eau après chaque charge.

! Vous obtiendrez ainsi, des performances optimales !
