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.

Express 45’

This is a quick timed programme, ideal for drying garments spun at high speed in the washing machine, for example shirts used in a work week.

Easy Mix

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

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. 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.

Special 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.

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).

Crease Relax

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.

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. The buzzer will activate if the timed drying option is not available.

Delay Start

The start of some programmes (see Programmes and options) may be delayed up to 24 hours. Before selecting a programme with a delayed start make sure that the water bottle is empty and the filter is clean. The drum will rotate occasionally before the drying programme starts to prevent the formation of creases.

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 high heat.

Fast Iron This option, when selected, delivers for the cycle chosen the best humidity level to help make ironing quicker and easier. This option stops the cycle at the ideal dryness level for ironing thus making ironing easier and faster. (See programme guide and options).

Memo

This option allows you to store your cycle selection along with any associated options and to easily use a previously stored cycle. Delayed start options cannot be stored.

•Press and hold the button MEMO for 3 second to store a cycle. You can press this button when the desired cycle and associated options have been selected either before the cycle has started or during the drying cycle. When you press and hold the Memo button the LED flashes as well as the time on the display and after 3 second a beep will confirm that the details have been stored.

•To recall the stored cycle simply turn on the dryer, press the memo button and then start the cycle. It is possible to change any of the options in the normal way. Every 2 minutes the stored cycle number will appear on the display. If no cycle has been stored you will hear a beep when the Memo button is pressed.

•A stored programme can be overwritten with a new programme just by repeating the steps outlined above.

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).

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 COOL 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:

(see Assistance).

Possible causes / Solutions:

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.

The “Empty water container” indicator light is on but the water container is not full.

• The plug has not been inserted far enough into the socket to make contact.

• There has been a power cut.

• The fuse has blown. 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 Maintenance).

• The water container must be emptied? The “Empty water container” indicator light flashes and the message appears “H2O” (see Maintenance).

• The Heat Pump Filter needs cleaning (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).

• 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 is just a reminder to empty the container (see Description of the tumble dryer).

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.

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

! 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).

• If the display shows a fault, switch the appliance off and unplug it, then clean the filter and the Heat Pump Filter unit (see Maintenance). Reinsert the plug, switch the appliance on and start another programme. If the display still visualises a fault, 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 START/PAUSE buttons and keep them pressed for 3 seconds. The display visualises “dOn” for 3 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.

• 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 the On/Off button and the lights will come on again.

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

• 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 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
