placed in the dryer.

• As some bulky items such as duvets and

eiderdowns should be dried in large commercial

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

In the interest
of the environment

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

• 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.

should not exceed +35°C during drying.

1 Programme Chart

This will help you to select the correct time for
drying.

Full tank Light

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.

3 Low 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.

4 Start 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.

6 Time 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.
