! Keep this instruction booklet on hand in order to refer to it when necessary. Take it with you when you move, and should you sell this appliance or pass it on to another party, make sure that this booklet is supplied along with the dryer so that the new owner may be informed about warnings and suggestions on how the appliance works. ! Read these instructions carefully; the following pages contain important information on installation and suggestions on how the appliance works.

Installation

Where to put your dryer

●

Place your dryer at a distance from gas ranges, stoves, heaters, or cook tops because flames can damage the appliance.

Minimum gap 10mm

●

If you are going to install the appliance under a work counter, be sure to leave a 10mm space between the

Minimum gaps

15mm

top and any other objects on or above the machine and a 15mm space between the sides and lateral furnishings

or walls. This is to ensure proper air circulation. Make sure that the back vents are not obstructed.

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.

! 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. ! If using the dryer in a small or cold room some condensation could be experienced.

Door Reversal Instructions

Hinge

Door latch

Hinge

The door of your dryer is reversible and can easily be changed. Exchange diagonally hinge brackets and blanking screws. Exchange door latch and catch with their opposite blanking plates (see diagram above).

Door catch

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' (1m) from the bottom of the dryer.

Remove the existing clip and hose from position shown (see diagram).

Remove clip and hose

from here...

Fit a suitable length of hose to the new location shown (see diagram) and refit clip.

...fit new hose and refit

clip here.

! Make sure that the hose is not squashed or kinked when the dryer is in its final location.

Electrical connections

Make sure of the following before you insert the plug into the the electrical socket:

●

The socket must be grounded.

●

The socket must be able to sustain the machines maximum power, which is indicated on the rating label (see Dryer Description).

●

Power voltage must be within the values indicated on the rating label (see Dryer Description).

●

The socket must be compatible with the dryers plug. Should this not be the case, replace the plug or the socket.

! The dryer must not be installed outdoors, even if the space is sheltered. It can be very dangerous if it is exposed to rain or storms. ! Once installed, the dryers electrical wire and plug must be within easy reach.

! Do not use extension cords. ! The power cord must not be bent or squashed. ! The power cord supplied should be checked

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

Before you start using your dryer

Once you have installed your dryer and before you use it, clean the inside of the drum to remove any dust that could have accumulated during transport.

Easy Iron Programme

‘Easy Iron’ is a short 10 minute programme (8 minutes of heat followed by a 2 minute cool tumble period) which fluffs the fibres of clothing that have been left in the same position/location for an extended period of time. The cycle relaxes the fibres and makes them easier to iron and fold. ! ‘Easy Iron’ is not a drying programme and should not be used for wet articles of clothing. For best results:

1. Do not load more than the maximum capacity. These numbers refer to the dry weight:

Fabric Maximum load

Cotton and Cotton mixtures 2.5kg Synthetics 2kg Denim 2kg

2. Unload the dryer immediately after the end of the programme, hang, fold or iron the articles and put them away in the closet. Should this not be possible repeat the programme.

The ‘Easy Iron’ effect varies from one fabric to the next. It works well on traditional fabrics like Cotton or Cotton mix, and less well on acrylic fibres and on materials such as Tencel®.

Sport programme

Special shoes

●

This is a programme to dry one pair of sports shoes sized 37-46 (4-11).

●

The shoes must have been washed and spun at a minimum spin speed of 400rpm.

●

They must be used with the shoe rack provided. If you tumble shoes in the drum you will damage your dryer.

●

Remove the filter from its position in the front of the dryer and fit the rack.

●

Tuck the laces inside the shoes and load shoes with toes down and soles facing you.

●

Drying times will vary dependant on the size and style of shoe. If shoes are not completely dry at the end of the programme, run the programme again.

! Do not dry shoes with Gel inserts or flashing lights. ! Only dry shoes made from Synthetics or Canvas materials.

Special sports

●

This is a programme for tumble dryer safe garments, such as Tracksuits and Shorts marked with the symbol .

●

It can be used for load sizes up to 1.5kg

●

We recommend that garments are turned inside out before drying.

●

This programme will take up to 130 minutes. The actual time will vary depending on the size and density of the load and the spin speed used in your washer.

●

Loads dried using this programme are usually ready to wear, but on some heavier garments the edges may be slightly damp.

! When finished remove shoe rack and replace the filter.

OPTION buttons / lights

These buttons are used to customise the selected programme to your requirements. A programme must have been selected on the programme knob before an option can be selected. Not all options are available for all programmes (see Start and Programmes). If an option is not available and you press the button, the buzzer will beep four times. If the option is available there will be one beep and the option light above the button lights to confirm the selection. After the start button has been pressed only the Alarm option can be changed.

Progress ( Drying, CoolTumble, Post Creasecare) / Delay (3hr 6hr 9hr 12hr) Lights

When the light above the delay button is on, these lights flash to indicate the delay time is selected. During other programmes they indicate the progress of the dryer, each one comes on as the corresponding phase starts.

Time Delay

The start of some programmes (see Start and Programmes) can be delayed for up to 12 hours in 3hr

steps. Ensure the water bottle is emptied before setting a delayed start. When a delayed start is in progress the light above the delay button will be on and the selected delay period light will flash (after the start button has been pressed). To set a delayed start, press the Time Delay button, and the light above the button will come on together with the 3hr delay light. Pressing the button again will advance the delay setting to 6hr, the 3hr light goes out and the 6hr light is on. Each time you press the button the delay setting advances 3 hours, as indicated by the corresponding light. If the 12hr light is on, pressing the button again will cancel the delay. You can also cancel the delay by turning the programmes knob to 0, wait for the buzzer to beep and then turn back to your selected programme.

Pre Creasecare

When a delayed start has been selected, the clothes are tumbled occasionally during the delayed period to help prevent creases developing.

High Heat

When available this button selects high heat. Press this button and a high heat setting is selected and the light above the button comes on. Timed programmes have a default of low heat, if the light alongside the button is on then pressing the button selects a low heat setting and the light goes out.

Alarm

Available on all programmes and allows the buzzer to give a signal at the end of the drying cycle, to remind you that the clothes are ready to be removed. Press the button and the light will show that the option is selected.

Post Creasecare

The clothes are occasionally tumbled after the end of the drying and cool tumble cycles, to help prevent creases developing should you not be available to remove the load immediately the programme is complete.

Empty Water Light / Container

(If you have plumbed your dryer to a drain this light can be ignored, as there is no need to empty the water container). When this light is on (not flashing) it reminds you to empty the water container. If the water container fills during a programme, the heater turns off and the dryer does a period of Cool Tumble then the light flashes and the buzzer sounds. After this it stops and all 3 progress lights and the 3hr delay light come on and the empty water light flashes. You must empty the water container and restart the dryer or the clothes will not dry. After re-starting the dryer, the light will take a few seconds to go out. To avoid this always empty the water container each time you use the dryer (see Maintenance).

●

Door Opening

Opening the door during a programme will stop the dryer and have the following effects:

●

All 3 progress lights abd the 3hr delay light come on.

●

During a delay phase the delay will continue to count down. The start button must be pressed to resume the delay programme. One of the delay lights will flash to show the current delay setting.

●

The start button must be pressed to resume the programme. The progress lights will change to show the current status.

●

During the cool tumble or post creasecare phase of a drying programme and anytime during an Airing or Cool Tumble programme, the programme will finish. Pressing the start button will re-start a new programme at the beginning.

●

Changing the programmes knob will select a new programme, after you press the start button. You can use this to select the Cool Tumble programme to cool the clothes, if you find them dry enough.

Close zippers and hooks and tie loose belts and strings.

●

Wring out each item in order to eliminate as much excess water as possible.

! Do not load dripping wet clothes into the dryer.

Maximum load size

Do not load more than maximum capacity. These numbers refer to dry weight: Natural fibres: 7kg max (15lb) Synthetic fibres: 3kg max (6.6lb)

! DO NOT overload the dryer as this could result in reduced drying performance.

Typical weights

Note: 1kg = 1000g (1lb = 16oz) Clothes

Blouse Cotton 150g (5oz)

Other 100g (3oz)

Dress Cotton 500g (1lb 2oz)

Other 350g (12oz) Jeans 700g (1lb 6oz) 10 nappies 1000g (2lb 3oz) Shirt Cotton 300g (10oz)

Other 200g (7oz) T-Shirt 125g (4oz)

Wash Care Labels

Look at the labels on your garments, especially when tumble drying for the first time. The following symbols are the most common:

May be tumble dried

Do not tumble dry

Tumble dry at high heat setting

Tumble dry at low heat setting

Items not suitable for tumble drying

●

Articles that containing rubber or rubber-like materials or plastic film (pillows, cushions, or PVC rainwear), any other flammable articles or objects that contain flammable substances (towels soiled with hair spray).

●

Glass fibres (certain types of draperies)

●

Items which have been dry cleaned

●

Items with the ITCL Code (see Special clothing items). These can be cleaned with special

at-home dry cleaning products. Follow instructions carefully.

●

Large bulky items (quilts, sleeping bags, pillows, cushions, large bedspreads etc). These expand when drying and would prevent airflow through the dryer.

Household Items

Duvet cover Cotton 1500g (3lb 5oz) (Double) Other 1000g (2lb 3oz) Large Tablecloth 700g (1lb 6oz) Small Tablecloth 250g (9oz) Tea Towel 100g (3oz) Bath Towel 700g (1lb 6oz) Hand Towel 350g (12oz) Double Sheet 500g (1lb 2oz) Single Sheet 350g (12oz)

At the end of a drying cycle, cottons could still be damp if you grouped cottons and synthetics together. If this happens simply give them an additional short period of drying.

●

Note: The last 10 minutes of any time set is the Cool Tumble, so allow for this when setting the time, as this period will not dry your laundry.

Laundry

Special clothing items

Blankets and Bedspreads: acrylic items (Acilan,

Courtelle, Orion, Dralon) must be dried with special care on LOW heat setting. Avoid drying for a long period of time.

Pleated or creased garments: read the manufacturer’s drying instructions on the garment.

Starched articles: do not dry these with non-starched items. Make sure that as much of the starch solution is removed from the load as possible before placing it in the dryer. Do not over-dry: the starch will become powdery and leave your clothing limp, which defeats the purpose of starch.

Drying times

The table below presents APPROXIMATE drying times in minutes. Weights refer to dry garments:

Cottons High (full) Heat Drying times 800-1000rpm in washing machine

Half Load Full Load

1kg 2kg 3kg 4kg 5kg 6kg 7kg

30-50 50-70 70-80 80-100 100-120 120-140 140-160

Synthetics Low (gentle) Heat Drying times on reduced spin in washing machine

Half Load Full Load

1kg 2kg 3kg 30-40 40-50 50-70

Times are approximate and can vary depending upon:

●

Amount of water retained in clothes after spin cycle: towels and delicates retain a lot of water.

●

Fabrics: items that are the same type of fabric but different textures and thicknesses may not have the same drying time.

●

Quantity of laundry: single items or small loads may take longer to dry.

●

Dryness: If you are going to iron some of your clothes, they can be taken out while still a bit damp. Others can be left longer if you need them to be completely dry.

●

Heat setting.

●

Room temperature: if the room where the dryer is located is cold, it will take longer for the dryer to dry your clothes.

●

Bulk: some bulky items can be tumble dried with care. We suggest that you remove these items several times, shake them out, and return them to the dryer until finished.

! Do not over-dry your clothes. All fabrics contain a little natural moisture, which keeps them soft and fluffy.

Do not use liquid fabric softeners in the dryer, add it to the final rinse of your wash. Do not overload the dryer (see Laundry for maximum loads). Do not load items that are dripping wet. 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. Carefully check all instructions on clothing labels (see Laundry). Do not dry garments that have been treated with chemical products. Never dry articles that are contaminated with flammable substances (cooking oil, acetone, alcohol, petrol, kerosene, spot removers, turpentine, waxes, wax removers and hair sprays), unless washed in hot water with an extra amount of detergent. Do not tumble dry rubber, rubber backed articles and clothes, pillows fitted with foam rubber pads, foam (latex foam), rubber, plastic, shower caps, waterproof textiles, nappy pants or liners, polythene or paper.

Do not tumble dry large, very bulky items.

●

Do not tumble dry acrylic fibres at high temperatures.

●

Complete each programme with its Cool Tumble Phase.

●

Do not turn off the dryer when there are still warm items inside.

●

! 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.

Recycling and disposal information

As part of our continued commitment to helping the environment, we reserve the right to use quality recycled components to keep down customer costs and minimise material wastage.

●

Disposing of the packaging material: follow local regulations, so the packaging can be recycled.

●

To minimise risk of injury to children, remove the door and plug - then cut off mains cable, flush with the appliance. Dispose of these parts separately to ensure that the appliance can no longer be plugged into a mains socket.

Disposal of old electrical appliances

The European Directive 2002/96/EC on Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE), requires that old household electrical appliances must not be disposed of in the normal unsorted municipal waste stream. Old appliances must be collected separately in order to optimise the recovery and recycling of the materials they contain and reduce the impact on human health and the environment.

The crossed out “wheeled bin” symbol on the product reminds you of your obligation, that when you dispose of the appliance it

must be separately collected. Consumers should contact their local authority or retailer for information concerning the correct disposal of their old appliance.

Saving energy and respecting the environment

●

Wring out 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).

Maintenance and Care

Switching off the electricity

! Unplug your dryer when not using it, when cleaning it and during all maintenance operations.

Clean the filter after each cycle

The filter is an important part of your dryer: it accumulates lint and fluff that is formed while drying. When finished drying, clean the filter by rinsing it under running water or with your vacuum cleaner. Should the filter become clogged up, the airflow inside the dryer will be seriously compromised: drying times lengthen and you will consume more energy. It may also damage your dryer.

The filter is found in front of the dryer trim (see diagram). Removing the filter:

1. Pull the plastic grip of the filter upwards (see diagram).

2. Clean the filter and replace it correctly. Ensure the filter is fully located flush into the tumble dryer trim.

! Do not use the dryer without replacing the filter.

Empty the water container after each cycle

Cleaning the drum

! Do not use abrasives, steel wool or stainless steel cleaning agents to clean the drum.

A coloured film may start to appear on the stainless steel drum, this may be caused by a combination of water and, or cleaning agents such as fabric conditioner from the wash. This coloured film will not affect the dryer performance.

Cleaning the condenser unit

Periodically (every month) remove the condenser unit and clean any build up of fluff from between the plates by rinsing it under the tap with cold water. This should be done with cold water from the rear of the condenser. Removing the condenser:

1. Unplug the dryer and open the door.

2. Pull open the condenser cover (see diagram). Release the three catches by turning 90˚ counterclockwise then pull on the grip and remove from the dryer.

3. Clean the surface of the seals and replace, making sure that the catches have been secured.

Pull the container out of the dryer and empty it into a sink or other suitable drain. Replace the water container securely. Always check and empty the container before you start a new drying programme.

Check the drum after each cycle

Turn the drum manually in order to remove small items (handkerchiefs) that could have been left behind.

Cleaning the dryer

●

External parts in metal or plastic and rubber parts can be cleaned with a damp cloth.

●

Periodically (every 6 months) vacuum the front air intake grille and vents at the rear of the dryer, to remove any build up of fluff, lint or dust. Also to remove accumulation of fluff from the front of the condenser and filter areas, clean occasionally with a vacuum cleaner.

! Do not use solvents or abrasives. ! Your dryer uses special bearing components which

do not need lubrication. ! Have your dryer checked regularly by authorised technicians to ensure electrical and mechanical safety (see Service).

Empty water light is on and the water container is not full.

The ON/OFF light flashes to indicate a fault.

Programme finishes and clothes are damper than expected.

●

The water container was probably not emptied at the start of the programme. Do not wait for the empty water signal, always check and empty the container before starting a new drying programme (see Maintenance).

●

This is normal, the light flashes when the container is full. If the light is on but not flashing it is just a reminder to empty the container (see Start and Programmes).

●

If the ON/OFF light flashes together with the Time Delay and High Heat lights; Or the ON/OFF light flashes together with the Time Delay, Alarm, High Heat and Empty Water lights, then:

- Turn off and remove the plug. Clean the filter and the condenser (see Maintenance). Then replace the plug, turn on and start another programme. If the same combination of lights still flash contact the Service Centre (see Service).

●

If any other combination of lights flash: Note down the other lights that are flashing and contact the Service Centre (see Service).

! For safety the dryer has a maximum programme time of 3 hours. If an automatic programme has not sensed the required final moisture in this time the dryer will complete the programme and stop. Check the above points and run the programme again, if the results are still damp, contact the Service Centre (see Service).

Installazione

Dove installare l’asciugatrice

●

Le fiamme possono danneggiare l’asciugatrice che

deve pertanto essere installata lontano da cucine a

gas, stufe, termosifoni o piani di cottura.

●

spazio minima 10 mm

Se l’elettrodomestico verrà installato sotto un banco da lavoro, è necessario lasciare uno spazio vuoto di almeno

spazio minima

15 mm

10 mm sopra il pannello superiore dell’elettrodomestico;

Tubo di scarico dell’acqua

Se l’asciugatrice viene collocata vicino ad un tubo di scarico, è possibile far defluire l’acqua al suo interno. In questo modo si evita di dover svuotare il recipiente di raccolta dell’acqua. Se l’asciugatrice viene posizionata sopra o di fianco ad una lavatrice, può condividere lo stesso scarico. L’altezza dello scarico deve essere inferiore a (1m) dal fondo dell’asciugatrice.

Rimuovere la clip esistente e il tubo dalla posizione indicata

(vedere schema). i pannelli laterali dovranno invece avere uno spazio libero intorno di almeno 15

mm. In questo modo sarà garantita la circolazione

dell’aria. Controllare che le prese d’aria del pannello posteriore non siano ostruite.

Aerazione

Inserire un tubo di lunghezza adeguata nel nuovo punto indicato (vedere schema) e

...inserire il nuovo tubo e posizionare la clip qui.

reinstallare la clip. È importante che l’ambiente in cui si utilizza l’asciugatrice sia sufficientemente aerato Assicurarsi inoltre che

! Assicurarsi che il tubo non sia schiacciato o attorcigliato

quando l’asciugatrice si trova nella sua posizione finale. l’ambiente in cui viene installata l’asciugatrice non sia umido e che vi sia un adeguato ricambio di aria. Garantire un adeguato flusso d’aria intorno all’asciugatrice in modo da permettere che l’acqua prodotta durante il lavaggio si condensi; l’asciugatrice non funzionerà correttamente se posizionata in uno spazio chiuso o all’interno di un mobile. ! Non è consigliabile che l’asciugatrice sia installata in un armadio, e non deve mai essere installata dietro una porta richiudibile a chiave, una porta scorrevole o una porta con cerniera sul lato opposto dello sportello dell’asciugatrice. ! Se l’asciugatrice viene utilizzata in una stanza piccola o fredda è possibile che si generi un po’ di condensa.

Collegamento elettrico

Prima di inserire la spina nella presa elettrica,

verificare che:

●

la presa sia dotata di messa a terra.

●

la presa sia in grado di supportare la potenza massima prevista per l’asciugatrice, così come indicata sull’etichetta che riporta le prestazioni di esercizio (vedere la sezione Descrizione del prodotto).

●

la tensione di alimentazione sia compresa nei valori indicati dall’etichetta che riporta le prestazioni di esercizio (vedere la sezione Descrizione del prodotto).

●

la presa sia compatibile con il tipo di spina dell’asciugatrice. In caso contrario, sostituire la spina o la presa.

necessario, farlo sostituire solo da tecnici qualificati

che installeranno un altro cavo specifico per questo

elettrodomestico (vedere la sezione Assistenza).

Presso i rivenditori autorizzati è possibile acquistare cavi

di ricambio e cavi più lunghi di quelli montati in fabbrica.

! Il produttore declina ogni responsabilità nei casi in

cui le presenti regole non vengano rispettate.

Cerniera

Lo sportello dell’asciugatrice è reversibile ed è facile da cambiare. Spostare diagonalmente le staffe delle cerniere e le viti di chiusura. Invertire il dispositivo di chiusura ed il fermo dello sportello con le piastre di chiusura del lato opposto (vedere lo schema qui sopra).

! Se si nutrono dei dubbi a riguardo, consultare un

elettricista.

la Guida Programmi

Il pulsante START/CANCELLA avvia un programma selezionato. Quando si preme questo pulsante, verrà emesso un segnale acustico e le spie di avanzamento lampeggeranno per confermare l’azione. Se non si ha impostato un programma il segnalatore acustico suonerà quattro volte. Quando un programma è in funzione, premendo questo pulsante si cancella il programma e si arresta l’asciugatrice (vedere la sezione Avvio e programmi).

I pulsanti e spie OPZIONE selezionano le opzioni disponibili per il programma selezionato (vedere la sezione Avvio e programmi). Le spie indicano che l’opzione è stata selezionata.

Con la Guida Programmi è possibile consultare una semplice tabella dei programmi disponibili.

Spia luminoso Svuota acqua segnala che il recipiente di raccolta dell’acqua deve essere svuotato. Quando lampeggia indica che il recipiente è pieno. L’indicatore si spegnerà alcuni secondi dopo aver riposizionato il recipiente vuoto; perché ciò sia possibile l’asciugatrice deve essere in funzione (vedere Comandi).

Programma di stiratura facile

“Stiratura facile” è un breve programma di 10 minuti (8 minuti di riscaldamento seguiti da 2 minuti di asciugatura a freddo) che gonfia le fibre dei tessuti rimasti immobili per un lungo periodo di tempo. Il ciclo distende le fibre dei capi in modo da agevolarne la stiratura e la piegatura. ! Questo non è un programma di asciugatura e non va quindi utilizzato con capi ancora bagnati. Per risultati ottimali:

1. Non caricare il cestello oltre la capacità massima. I seguenti valori si riferiscono al peso degli indumenti asciutti:

Tessuto Carico massimo

Cotone e Misto cotone 2,5 kg Sintetico 2 kg Denim 2 kg

2. Svuotare l’asciugatrice subito dopo la fine del programma; appendere, piegare o stirare i capi per poi riporli nell’armadio. Se ciò non fosse possibile, ripetere il programma.

L’effetto prodotto dal programma “Stiratura facile” varia da tessuto a tessuto. I migliori effetti si ottengono su tessuti tradizionali, quali Cotone o Misto cotone; invece, le caratteristiche di tessuti quali le fibre acriliche o il Tencel® non consentono di ottenere gli stessi risultati.
