SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS

IMPORTANT TO BE READ AND OBSERVED

EN

Before using the dryer carefully
read, Health and Safety and
Use and Care guides.
Keep these instructions close
at hand for future reference.

YOUR SAFETY AND SAFETY
OF OTHERS IS VERY IMPOR­TANT.

This manual and the dryer
itself provide important safety
warnings, to be read and ob­served at all times.

This is the safety alert symbol.
This symbol alerts you to po­tential hazards that can kill or
hurt you and others.
All safety messages will follow
the safety alert symbol or the
word DANGER or WARNING.
These words mean:

DANGER

Indicates a hazardous situa­tion which, if not avoided, will
cause serious injury.

WARNING

cause serious injury.

All safety warnings give spe­cic details of the potential risk
presented and indicate how to
reduce risk of injury, damage
and electric shock resulting
from improper use of the dryer.
Carefully observe the following
instructions.
Failure to observe these in­structions may lead to risks.
The Manufacturer declines any
liability for injury to persons or
animals or damage to property
if these advices and precau­tions are not respected.

Very young (0-3 years) and
young children (3-8 years) shall
be kept away unless continu­ously supervised.
Children from 8 years old
and above and persons with
reduced physical, sensory or
mental capabilities or lack of
experience and knowledge can
use this dryer only if they are
supervised or have been given
instructions on safe appliance
use and if they understand the
hazards involved. Children shall
not play with the dryer. Clean­ing and user maintenance shall
not be made by children with­out supervision.

rol, kerosene, spot removers,
turpentine, waxes and wax
removers should be washed
in hot water with an extra
amount of detergent before
being dried in the tumble
dryer.
Items such as foam rubber (la­tex foam), shower caps, water­proof textiles, rubber backed
articles and clothes or pillows
tted with foam rubber pads
should not be dried in the tum­ble dryer.
Remove all objects from
pockets such as lighters and
matches.
Do not use the tumble dryer if
chemicals have been used for
cleaning.

Oil-soaked items ignite spon­taneously, especially when
exposed to heat sources such
as in a tumble dryer. The items
become warm, causing an oxi­dation reaction in the oil. Oxi­dation creates heat. If the heat
cannot escape, the item can
become hot enough to catch
re. Piling, stacking or storing
oil-soaked items can prevent
heat from escaping and so cre­ate a re hazard.

WARNING

Indicates a hazardous situation
which, if not avoided, could

Never stop a tumble dryer
before the end of the drying

cycle unless all items are quick­ly removed and spread out so
that the heat is dissipated.

The last phase of the drying cy­cle is done without heat (cool
down phase), to assure that the
laundry stays at a temperature
level which is not leading to a
damaging of the laundry.

If you want to stack the dryer
on a washing machine, rst
contact our After-Sales Ser­vice to verify if this is possible.
Stacking of a dryer is only
admitted if the dryer is safely
xed on the washing machine
by using an appropriate stack­ing kit.

INTENDED USE
OF THE PRODUCT

This dryer is designed solely
for domestic usage. To aim
the dryer as professional use is
forbidden. The manufacturer
declines all responsibility for
inappropriate use or incorrect
setting of the controls.

CAUTION: The dryer is not
intended to be operated by
means of an external timer or
separate remote control sys­tem.

Do not use the dryer outdoors.
Do not store explosive or
ammable substances such as
aerosol cans and do not place
or use gasoline or other am­mable materials in or near the
dryer: a re may break out
if the dryer is inadvertently
switched on.

INSTALLATION

Installation and repairs must
be carried out by a qualied
technician, in compliance with
the manufacturer’s instructions
and local safety regulations. Do
not repair or replace any part
of the dryer unless specically
stated in the user manual.
Children should not perform
installation operations. Keep
children away during instal­lation of the dryer. Keep the
packaging materials (plastic
bags, polystyrene parts, etc.)
out of reach of children, during
and after the installation of the
dryer.

Use protective gloves to per­form all unpacking and instal­lation operations.
After unpacking the dryer,
make sure that it has not been
damaged during transport. In
the event of problems, con­tact the dealer or your nearest
After-sales Service.
The dryer must be handled
and installed by two or more
persons.
Keep children away during
installation of the dryer.

The dryer must be discon­nected from the power supply
before carrying out any instal­lation operation.
During installation, make sure
the dryer does not damage the
power cable.
Only activate the dryer when
the installation procedure has
been completed.

After installation of the device
to wait a few hours before
starting it, to acclimatize to the

environmental conditions of
the room.
Do not install your dryer where
it may be exposed to extreme
conditions, such as: poor ven­tilation, high temperature or
below 5°C or above 35°C.

The dryer must not be installed
behind a lockable door, a slid­ing door or a door with a hinge
on the opposite side to that of
the tumble dryer, in such a way
that a full opening of the tum­ble dryer door is restricted.

The dryer must be placed with
the back towards a wall, to
avoid injuries by touching the
rear panel, which can become
hot during the drying process.

Do not install the dryer in
rooms with poor ventilation. If
you want to install it in a small
storage room, toilet, bathroom
or similar, assure a good venti­lation (open door, ventilation
grid or slot larger than 500 cm²).

When installing the dryer make
sure that the four feet are
stable and resting on the oor,
adjusting them as required,
and check that the dryer is per­fectly level using a spirit level.

If possible use a hose to drain
the water directly into the
domestic plumbing system.
This will avoid having to empty
the water container at the end
of each drying cycle, since the
condensation water can be
directly drained away.

Take care not to install the
dryer on a deep-pile carpet.

6

EN

If, due to lack of space, the
dryer must be installed directly
next to a gas or coal stove, a
heat insulating plate (85 x 57 cm)
must be installed in between
and the side of the plate fac­ing the stove must be covered
with aluminium foil.

The dryer is not designed for
built-in installation.

The dryer can be installed un­der a worktop, provided that
adequate ventilation of the
dryer is assured. Install a ven­tilation grid (minimum 45 cm
x 8 cm), in the rear part of the
worktop under which the dryer
is installed.

ELECTRICAL WARNINGS

For installation to comply with
current safety regulations, an
omnipolar switch with mini­mum contact gap of 3mm is
required.

dryer, once tted in its hous­ing, to the main power supply.
Do not pull the power supply
cable.

If the power cable is damaged
it must be replaced with an
identical one. The power cable
must only be replaced by a
qualied technician in compli­ance with the manufacturer
instruction and current safety
regulations. Contact an author­ized service centre.

Fuse replacement.

If the mains lead of this dryer is
tted with a BS 1363A 13amp
fused plug, to change a fuse in
this type of plug use an A.S.T.A.
approved fuse to BS 1362 type
and proceed as follows:

1. Remove the fuse cover (A)
and fuse(B).

2. Fit replacement 13A fuse into

fuse cover.

3. Ret both into plug.

Important:

The fuse cover must be retted
when changing a fuse and if
the fuse cover is lost the plug
must not be used until a cor­rect replacement is tted.
Correct replacement are identi­ed by the colour insert or the
colour embossed in words on
the base of the plug.
Replacement fuse covers are
available from your local elec­trical store.

ENERGY SAVING TIPS

Always dry a full load, depend­ing on the type of laundry and
the programme/drying time.
For more detailed information,
see the programme chart.

By preference use the maxi­mum spin speed allowed by
your washing machine, since
draining the water mechanical-

ly requires less energy. You will
save time and energy when
running your drying cycle.

Always select the correct
programme/drying time for
the load in order to obtain the
desired drying results.

Select the ‘Gentle’ option only
in case of drying small loads.

DECLARATION
OF CONFORMITY

When drying cotton, for exam­ple, dry Iron Dry and Cupboard
Dry loads together. Start with
the Iron Dry programme/dry­ing time setting, remove the
laundry to be ironed at the
end of that cycle and dry the
remainder of the load on the
Cupboard Dry setting.

This dryer has been designed,
constructed and distributed
in compliance with the safety
requirements of European
Directives:

• 2006/95/EC Low Voltage
Directive

• 2004/108/EC Electromagnetic
Compatibility Directive.
