1 BEFORE TUMBLE DRYING THE FIRST TIME

READ THE OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Please read through this Use and Care Guide
before attempting to use the machine, particu­larly Chapter 2, Safety instructions, and 3,
Children’s safety.

DO NOT TUMBLE-DRY

Some fabrics are sensitive to tumble drying.
Check the Recommended washing marking on
the items concerned, and study Chapter 7, Be­fore tumble drying.

For brief operating instructions; see Chapter 16, Quick guide.

NOTE

When you start the tumble dryer the first time,
or after a long period when it has not been in
use, you may hear a light rumbling noise. This is
quite normal and the sound will disappear after
a few drying operations.

7 BEFORE TUMBLE DRYING

Before you start tumble drying, here is some
advice that can be useful.

SPIN-DRIED?

Items that are to be tumble dried should first
be spin-dried, preferably at 800 revs per minute
or more. Better spin drying saves both energy
and drying time.

RECOMMENDED WASHING MARKING

Material suitable for tumble drying

The symbol above indicates that the material
can be tumble-dried. Cotton fabrics, towelling
and synthetic fibres are best suited to tumble
drying. Clothes and fabrics become softer and
fluffier when tumble-dried than when dried on
a line.

NOTE

Wear and tear of fabrics in a tumble dryer is
minimal. The lint caught in the lint filter con­sists of dust and fibre residue that has been for­med when wearing the garments.

Material which should not be tumble-

dried

This symbol indicates that the material will not
withstand tumble-drying.

Certain materials will melt or become dan­gerously flammable if heated, while others will
loose their shape or shrink.

Do not tumble-dry...

• Materials that are marked “Do not dry close
to heat”.

• Items that have been dry-cleaned at home.

• Foam plastic.

• Glass-fibre materials

• Woollen items, because of the risk of felting.

SORTING FABRICS

Best results are obtained if all articles are of the
same material.

Close zip-fasteners, button up garments, tie
belts, and sort the fabrics and adapt the load
and the temperature as shown in the table be­low.

TYPE OF FABFIC LOAD TEMPERATURE

White, coloured Cotton and 1/1 (6.0 kg) Normal
and synthetic linen

Polyester/ 1/2 (3.0 kg) Normal
cotton

Delicate and Acrylic, rayon, 1/2 (3.0 kg) Low
mild acetate etc.

Sort a suitable amount and type of fabric.

9

PROGRAMMES

Y our choice of programme will depend on what
you wish to do with the fabrics after tumble
drying. The available programmes are Extra dry,
Dry, Normal dry, Iron dry, Timed dry and Air
fluff.

Extra dry

This programme is designed for washing that is
extremely difficult to dry, eg, jeans with very
thick seams.

NOTE

Knitted fabrics in particular are liable to shrink.
Use the Dry, Normal dry or Iron dry program­me for these materials. Always stretch garments
out directly after drying.

Dry, Normal dry

These programmes turn off the heat when the
washing is dry, but not bone-dry.

The Dry programme turns off the heat a litt­le later than Normal dry . Choose what you pre­fer by trial and error. Use these programmes
when you want dry fabrics.

Iron dry

This programme turns off the heat when the
washing is just damp enough for ironing or mang­ling.

Timed dry

The programme length that you should choose
depends on what you wish to do with the fa­brics after tumble drying. Dry different times
for different materials to find the right combi­nation.

When using a timed dry programme with
mixed washing it may happen that some of the
items will not be sufficiently dried. Such items
can suitably by dried by running the timed pro­gramme for a further 10 minutes or so.

Timed dry programmes automatically opera­tes at temperature Low, but you can change it
yourself to Normal.

NOTE

When using a timed programme it is possible to
over-dry fabrics if you set too long a time. This
can cause fabrics to shrink or crease and feel
rough. Synthetic materials can also become char­ged with static electricity. Set a shorter time if
you tumble dry at temperature Normal.

Air fluff

Use the air fluff programme just to shake dust
out of garments, air them or soften them up.

To select Timed dry or Air fluff , see Chapter
10, Making own drying programmes.

OPTIONS
Cooling

You can choose betw een Normal cooling and
Quick cooling. Normal cooling lasts 20 minu­tes and Quick cooling lasts 5 minutes.

Buzzer

The machine offers you the possibility of hea­ring when the cooling period ends. Set the op­tion Buzzer ON and it will sound for three
seconds when the programme is completed.

10

Anti-crease programme

Using the Anti-crease programme you can pre­vent garments from lying still and becoming un­necessarily creased at the end of tumble drying.
This is a helpful option if you cannot take out
garments promptly at the end of the tumbling
phase.

Y ou can choose a programme duration of 1, 2
or 3 hours. The drum will then continue to
rotate intermittently, ie, three seconds every
minute for the number of hours chosen.

If you choose Buzzer ON, a signal will sound
each time the drum rotates.

To choose these options, see Chapter 10, Ma­king own drying programmes.

TEMPERATURE

You can choose temperature Normal or Low,
see chapter 10, Making own drying program­mes.

DRYING TIME

The drying time may be influenced by a number
of factors, such as the size of the load, the pro­gram selected, the moisture content of the load,
the materials being washed, connection capaci­ty and the ambient temperature and humidity.
Drying time remaining is calculated within four
minutes of the start of the drying program. The
estimated time is shown in the bottom right­hand corner of the display, together with the –
symbol.
If the actual drying time is less than that calcu­lated, the time display may jump ahead, e.g.
from 50 to 20 minutes, at the end of the pro­gram.
If the actual drying time is longer than that
calculated, the countdown will stop at the end
of the progam until the load is dry.
Please note that times include a cooling period.

12 TROUBLE SHOOTING

THE MACHINE WILL NOT START

Check that:

• The door is properly closed.

• The main switch is pressed in.

• You have correctly set the required program­me or the required time in the timed dry pro­gramme.

• You have not choosen Delayed start.

• The electric plug, if any, is firmly inserted in
its socket.

• All fuses are intact. Switch two fuses over . I t is
not always possible to see directly if a fuse has
blown.

• The overheating device has not triggered, see
below.

OVERHEATING PROTECTION

The dryer is designed with an overheat protec­tion switch that will automatically turn the
machine off if the temperature gets too high.
The machine will not start until it has cooled
down sufficiently .
If the unit shuts down because of overheating,
check that the lint filter exhaust hose, vent duct,
and the condenser unit are free of lint. These
components need to be cleaned on a regular
basis. Additionally, the lint filter may need to
be cleaned with warm, soapy water and a soft
brush a few times a year to ensure the filter
screen is not blocked. Using dryer sheets (not
recommended) can also cause this problem.

Should the machine turn itself off because of
overheating, it will not be possible to restart
the unit until it has cooled down sufficiently.
This could possibly take up to thirty minutes.

To restart the unit once it has cooled down,
press the ”Start” button.

NOTE:

If your dryer overheats frequently , it may not be
vented properly or the room in which it is loca­ted may not have sufficient air circulation. Con­tact your installer to have these issues checked
out.

NO INTERIOR LIGHTING

Check that:

• The main switch is pressed in.

• The electric plug, if any, is firmly inserted in
its socket.

• All fuses are intact. Switch two fuses over. It is
not always possible to see directly if a fuse has
blown.

• The bulb is not burnt out. The lamp is located
at the top of the dryer just inside the door.
Screw off the plastic cover protecting the bulb
and screw out the bulb and replace it if it is
faulty.

EXCESSIVE DRYING TIME

Empty the water container and check that the
lint filter and the condenser are not clogged,
see Chapter 11, Care and Cleaning. Excessive
drying times can also be caused by the machine
being installed in a very confined space and by
the air in the room (which cools the machine)
becoming too warm. In this situation make sure
that ventilation is improved, eg, by opening
doors and/or windows.
