Your New Tumble Dryer
This tumble dryer will give your wash that soft, relaxed feel whatever the weather.
Extremely high quality standards both during development and manufacturing guarantee a long service life for your appliance.
Maximum economy in the operation of your dryer is achieved through very frugal electricity consumption and short drying times.
Energy saving tips
To save energy we recommend that you follow these hints:
•Try to load the maximum capacity of the machine as small loads are uneconomical.
•Always load well spun laundry. The higher the spin speed, the lower the electricity consumption and the shorter the drying times.
•Do not over-dry laundry, this avoids creasing and saves energy.
•Clean the filters regularly to avoid excessive drying times and high electricity consumption.
•Ventilate the room well. The room temperature should not exceed +35°C during drying.
In the interest
of the environment
•Materials marked with the symbol 
are recyclable.
•Check with your local Council or Environmental Health Office to see if there are facilities in your area for re-cycling this appliance.
•When the appliance is to be scrapped, cut off the power supply cable and make the door closing device unusable to prevent young children from being trapped inside.
•Help to keep your country tidy - use authorised disposal sites for your old appliance.
How do we help to protect the environment? We use recycled paper!

This will help you to select the correct time for drying.
This light illuminates when the reservoir is full or incorrectly fitted.
2 Mains on Light
This lights up when the machine starts operating and goes out when the selector dial is on position “0” and when you open the door of the appliance or the small door covering the condenser at the bottom.
3Low Heat Button
Press this button to reduce the temperature when drying particularly delicate cotton or linen items. In this case you should select a longer drying time.
4Start Button
Press this button to start the dryer after having selected the programme.
If the door of the appliance or the small door at the bottom is opened while the programme is running, this button must be pressed again after closing the door(s) in order to restart the programme from the point at which it was interrupted.
6Time Selector Dial /
On Off Switch
Around the knob there are two drying cycles, one of up to 150 minutes at a high temperature for cotton and linen, and one of up to 100 minutes at a low temperature for synthetic fabrics. To set the machine to the selected time, turn the dial clockwise until the the knob pointer coincides exactly with the time you want.
NEVER attempt to turn the dial in an anticlockwise direction.
When selecting the drying time you should remember that it includes a 10 minute cooling phase (position 
on the dial).
This phase should not be shortened, stopped or avoided, as this could cause skin burns or damages to the laundry.
On “O” position the dryer is switched off.
