This section includes safety information that
will help protection from risks of personal
injuries or materialistic damages. Failure
to follow these instructions shall cause
any warranty and reliability commitment to
become void.

General safety

• Never place the machine on a carpet­covered floor, otherwise, lack of airflow
beneath the machine may cause electrical
parts to overheat. This will cause problems
with your machine.

• If the power cable or mains plug is
damaged, you must call Authorised Service
Agent for repair.

• The product should not be plugged in
during installation, maintenance and repair
works. Such works should always be made
by the technical service. Manufacturer
shall not be held responsible for damages
arising from processes carried out by
unauthorised persons.

• Connect the product to a grounded outlet
protected by a fuse of suitable capacity as
stated in the technical specifications table.

• Operate your product at temperatures
between +5°C and +35°C.

order to prevent gases exiting from devices
operating with other types of fuels including
the naked flame from accumulating in the
room due to the back fire effect.

• Always clean the lint filter before or after
each loading.

• Never operate your dryer without the lint
filter installed.

• Do not allow fibre, dust and dirt
accumulation around the exhaust exit and
at adjacent areas.

• Power cable plug must be within easy
reach after installation.

• Do not use extension cords, multi-plugs
or adaptors to connect the dryer to power
supply in order to decrease the risk of
electric shock.

• Do not make any changes on the plug
supplied with the product. If it is not
compatible with the socket, have a
qualified electrician change the socket with

a suitable one.

• Items cleaned or washed with gasoil/
fuel oil, dry-laundry solvents and other

should not be dried in the dryer.

• Do not use fabric softeners and anti-static
products unless they are recommended by
the manufacturers of the fabric softener or
the product.

• This product must be grounded.

remove all laundry from the dryer fast in
order to lay them and dissipate the heat.

• Remove the door of the drying
compartment before decommissioning or
disposing of the product.

• The final step of the drying cycle (cool­down cycle) occurs without applying
heat to ensure that the items are left at a
temperature that will not damage them.

hings to be done for energy
saving:

• Make sure that you operate the product
at its full capacity but pay attention to not
exceeding it.

• Spin your laundry at the highest speed
possible when washing them. Thus,
the drying time is shortened and energy
consumption is decreased.

• Pay attention to dry same types of laundry
together.

• Follow the instructions in the user manual
for programme selection.

• Make sure that sufficient clearance is
provided at the front and rear side of the
dryer for air circulation. Do not block the
grill at the front side of the product.

• Do not open the door of the machine
during drying unless necessary. If you must
certainly open the door, pay attention not
to keep it open for a long time.

• Do not add new (wet) laundry during
drying.

• Lint and fibres released from the laundry to
the air during the drying cycle are collected
in the “Lint Filter”. Make sure that you
clean the filters before or after each drying.

• In models with condenser, make sure that
you clean the condenser regularly at least
once every month or after every 30 drying
cycles.

• In vented models, follow the chimney
connection rules in the user manual and
pay attention to the chimney cleaning.

• Ventilate the room, where the dryer is
located, well during drying.

• For power saving in models with lamps, at
times when your dryer is not in use, keep
the door closed if the On/Off button is
pressed (if the dryer is energized).

Laundry suitable for drying in the
machine

C Always follow the suggestions on the

laundry labels. Dry only the laundry having
a label stating that they are suitable for
drying in a dryer and make sure that you
select the appropriate programme.

3 Initial preparations for drying

9

EN

• Items soiled with cooking oils, acetone,

alcohol, fuel oil, kerosene, stain remover,
turpentine, paraffin and paraffin removers
must be washed in hot water with plenty of
detergent before being dried in the dryer.

• Garments or pillows bolstered with rubber

foam (latex foam), shower bonnets, water
resistant textiles, materials with rubber
reinforcement and rubber foam pads should
not be dried in the dryer.

• Do not use fabric softeners and anti-static

products unless they are recommended by
the manufacturers of the fabric softener or
the product.

• Do not dry the underwear reinforced with

metal parts in the dryer. If these metal
reinforcements loosen and break during
drying, they will damage your dryer.

Preparing laundry for drying

• Check all laundry items before loading them

into the product to make sure that there are
no lighters, coins, metal items, needles and
etc. in their pockets or on any part of them.

• Fabric softeners and similar products must

be used in accordance with the instructions
of the manufacturer of the relevant
products.

• All laundry must be spun at the highest spin

speed that your washing machine allows for
the laundry type.

• Laundry may be tangled after washing.

Separate your laundry before placing them
into your dryer.

• Sort your laundry according to their types

and thicknesses. Dry the same type of
laundry together. E.g.: fine kitchen towels
and table cloths dry faster than the thick
bath towels.

Correct load capacity

A Consider the information in the “Programme

Selection Table”. Always start the
programme in accordance with the
maximum load capacity.

C Adding laundry to the machine more

than the level shown in the figure is not
recommended. Drying performance will
degrade when the machine is overloaded.
Furthermore, your dryer and your laundry
can be damaged.

C Place your laundry into the drum loosely so

that they will not get tangled.

CLarge pieces (E.g.: bed sheets, quilt covers,

large tablecloths) may bunch-up. Stop the
dryer 1-2 times during drying process to
separate bunched-up laundry.

2. Allow the machine to cool down if drying
has been carried out.

3. Wipe the metal sensors with a soft cloth,
dampened with vinegar and dry them.

CClean metal sensors 4 times a year.
ANever use solvents, cleaning agents

or similar substances when cleaning
since these materials can cause fire and
explosion!

Lint and fibres released from the laundry to the
air during the drying cycle are collected in the
“Filter Cartridge”.

C Such fibre and lint are generally formed

during wearing and washing.

C Always clean the filter and the inner

surfaces of the cover after each drying
process.

C You can clean the filter and filter area by

vacuum cleaner.

To clean the filter:

1. Open the loading door.

2. Remove the cover filter by pulling it up and
open the filter.

3. Clean lint, fibre, and cotton raveling by
hand or with a soft piece of cloth.

4. Close the filter and place it back into its

seat.

1. If a drying process has been carried out,
open the door of the machine and wait
until it cools down.

2. Unlock the 2 condenser locks after opening
the kick plate.
