Useful Hints
• Drying a large quantity of laundry is not
recommended because it will remain creased
and unevenly dried (max. 5 kg of dry resistant
laundry is recommended).
• Drying very delicate laundry (woolens, silk
garments) is not recommended as they may
shrink or lose shape.
• Synthetic curtains, fabrics with metal threads,
nylon stockings, as well as lingerie with
prevailing foam rubber components or rubberlike materials, should be dried at low
temperature setting (delicate laundry program s
or time setting programs).
• Put delicate laundry into a special sack, when
drying together with other laundry.
• When drying is finished, immediately take the
laundry out of the drum so that it won't crease.
• W hen drying laundry in the dryer there is no
need to add a conditioner. Conditioners are
added only when rinsing synthetics to neutralise
static electricity.
• W hen buying clothes, especially underwear, do
not forget that they shrink during washing as
well as during drying.
• Clothes marked with a "no tumble dry" label,
are not suitable for drying in the tumble drier.
• Energy consumed whwn drying the laundry is
essentially incrased if your washing machine is
spinning at less than 800 r.p.m. In that cas e it is
recommended to purchase an independent spin
intended for additional water extraction.
Important Warnings

this dryer. Never try to dry laundry washed or
cleaned with inflammable c leaning agents (e.g.

Instructions for Use
Positioning and Installation
Your drying machine can be placed in any room
with adequate ventilation.
Choosing the Right Place
A - Venting - ty pe Dryer
The most suitable plac e is a room with a window
or with an air-conditioning fan, which is mounted
into air-duct or guided out in the open (Figure 1).
In closed, smaller rooms without adequate
ventilation there is too much moisture in the air,
drying time is increased and so is energy
consumption.
If during the drying procedure there isn't adequate
ventilation in the room, we recomm end you direct
moist air out in the open by means of vent pipe
(Fig. 2).
1
Vent pipe can be bought in any technical store
(identification code PIPE SP-377628).
B - Condenser - type Dryer
Do not install the condenser dryer into the room
where a danger of freezing can occur. Freezing
of water in the condensed water drawer and the
pump can damage the appliance.

• Do not remove the adjustable feet. The
machine must be placed horizontally.
• Some models of tumble dryers are supplied with
vacuum leg braces, enabling the appliance to
be placed on top of a washing m achine, without
hazard of falling or tripping during the oper ation
of either appliance.
• Do not put the dryer on the thicker rug thus
preventing the possibility of air circulation.
Moist Air Outlet
A – Vent dryer
There are two openings for venting out hum id air,
which are situated at the bottom left-hand rear
side part of the dryer. Depending on the position
of the machine, please, close down one of the
openings with the front cover , which has already
been fastened on it, or attached to the drum
(Fig 4).
Fix the cover by inserting a coin into the slash
turning it clockwise. It can be rem oved by turning
in the opposite direction.
If during the drying cycle the airing is not good
enough, the air-vent tube can be inserted
(screwed) into the hole. The distance between
the dryer and venting opening (airduct or window)
must not exceed two meters, otherwise
condense can accumulate in the tube, (Fig 5).

B – Condenser - type Drye r
Humidity from the laundry in the condenser dryer
is extracted into the air cooler and accum ulated in
the drainage container or conducted directly into
the moist air outlet. After every drying the
condensed water drawer should be emptied, of
which you are reminded by the control lamp
which is on when the container is full. The air
cooler should be c leaned in time ( see the chapter
