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.

Attention! Please follow the instructions on labels when drying mixed fabrics. Drying times are given as a guide only and vary according to the size of the load, the type of laundry, the degree

of spinning prior to drying. Start by selecting a short drying time. If necessary, perform an additional drying cycle afterwards. Experience will soon enable you to estimate the drying time needed for your usual laundry loads. It is advisable

to take note of them.

Size of load

It is not necessary to weigh the laundry, if these instructions are followed:

• Cottons, linen: full drum, but not overloaded.

• Synthetics: half drum. For a mixed load (cotton and synthetics, for example) select the drying time suitable for the most delicate

fabrics and then increase it by approx 10 mins.

Operating Sequence

Before using your tumble dryer for the first time, we recommend you place a few damp cloths inside the appliance and dry for 20 minutes. There may be dust inside a brand new tumble dryer.

Drying

1. Connect the appliance.

2. Open the door as per picture.

3. Load the items one at a time, shaking them out loosely.

4. Close the door. Please check the laundry does not get caught between the door and filter.

5. Select the drying time by turning the Time Selector Dial clockwise.

6. If required, press the “low heat” Button.

7. Press the Start Button: the machine starts operating. The “mains on” light comes on.

The drum turns alternately in both directions during drying.

All drying programmes end with a 10 minute cooling phase (position on selector dial). The machine stops automatically at the end of this phase (knob pointer on position “O”). The mains-on light goes out.

8. Immediately remove the laundry.

P1108

P1149

After each use

• Clean the filters (see page 9).

• Empty the water reservoir (see page 10).

Important!

If the drying programme has to be stopped before it reaches the end, we recommend that you turn the Time Selector Dial to position (cooling) and wait until the end of this phase before removing the laundry. This will avoid a build-up of heat inside the appliance.

Modifying the programme

To change a programme which is running, turn the Time Selector Dial clockwise to the required position.

Page 8

Before placing articles of laundry in your tumble dryer, check the care labels to ensure they are recommended for tumble drying.

Care Labels you may find on your laundry

may be tumble dried normal drying (high temperature) delicate drying (low temperature) do not tumble dry

Do not overload the appliance.

Here is a list of the approximate weight of some common laundry items.

Sheet 700 to 1000 g Pillowcase 100 to 200 g Tablecloth 400 to 500 g Table Napkin 50 to 100 g Kitchen Towel 70 to 120 g Linen Hand Towel 100 to 150 g Hand Towel 150 to 250 g Bath Towel 700 to 1000 g Bathrobe 1000 to 1500 g Shirt 200 to 300 g Apron 150 to 200 g

•Always load well spun laundry. The higher the spin

speed the lower the electricity consumption and the shorter the drying time.

•DO NOT load dripping wet laundry into the dryer.

Roll the article in a towel or spin to remove excess water.

•Close poppers and zips and fasten any buttons.

•Sort the laundry. Separate synthetics from

cotton/linens, and dry separately.

•Remove the laundry immediately after the

programme has finished.

•Use a fabric conditioning sheet to reduce static. We

recommend the sheet is pinned to an article of laundry (using a safety pin).

•Mix the load i.e. large and small articles.

•When drying large items such as sheets, we

recommend you periodically stop the dryer to redistribute the load.

DO NOT use the tumble dryer to dry the following:

•Articles contaminated with inflammable substances

e.g. petrol, cleaning solvents, cooking oil, fats or hair lacquer.

•Woollen and synthetic/wool mixtures unless the

item is labelled as suitable for tumble drying.

•Very delicate articles such as silk.

•Very large and bulky items such as duvets or

sleeping bags.

Hints & Tips on Drying

Page 9

You must disconnect the appliance from the electricity supply, before you can carry out any cleaning or maintenance work.

External cleaning

Use only soap and water and then dry thoroughly. Important: do not use methylated spirit, diluents or similar products.

Cleaning the door

Clean periodically the interior part of the door to remove any fluff from the seals around the filter. Regular cleaning ensures correct drying.

Cleaning the filters

Your dryer will only function well if the filters are clean. The filters collect all the fluff which accumulates during drying and they must therefore be cleaned at the end of each programme, before removing the laundry, with a damp cloth.

The filter in the inner door must be removed for cleaning. Do not be alarmed by the amount of fluff. It is not due to excessive wear caused by the dryer. All fabric looses fluff when drying but it goes un-noticed in the air. In a tumble dryer it simply collects in the filter.

Maintenance and Cleaning

After a while, a withish patina due to detergent residue on laundry forms on the filters. When this occurs, clean the filters (specially the filter in the door opening) with warm water using a brush. Remove it as per picture (it can be positioned with the tooth facing to the left or to the right).

Do not use the appliance without filters.

Cleaning the condenser unit

Clean the air condenser periodically, 3 or 4 times a year depending on how frequently the dryer is used.

The condenser is situated at the lower part of the cabinet behind a small door. To open the door, push the catch as shown in the picture.

To pull out the condenser, first turn the two red stops inwards as shown and then remove the condenser unit holding it at the handle.

Clean it with a brush and rinse it under the shower if necessary.

Also clean the outside, removing all fluff. Clean the rubber seal round the condenser cabinet

and in the inner part of the small door with a damp cloth.

Important! Do not use pointed objects or utensils to clean the spaces between the plates, as this could damage the condenser and make it permeable.

Re-fit the condenser, turn the red stops upwards and close the door.

Do not use this appliance if the condenser

has not been fitted.

Emptying the water reservoir

Water extracted from the laundry condenses inside the machine and is collected in a reservoir. The reservoir must be emptied after each drying cycle to ensure efficient operation when the machine is next used. If this is not done a safety device trips: pilot light on the control panel comes on and the programme stops, leaving the laundry damp.

The reservoir can be emptied even in the middle of a programme.

Proceed as follows:

• Open the small door at the lower part of the

cabinet

•Turn the yellow stop upwards

•Pull out the reservoir

•Open the small cover and let water flow down

•Close the small cover and re-insert correctly the

reservoir

•

Push it until it clicks and turn the yellow stop

downwards to lock firmly it

•

Close the small door and press the START/PAUSE button again to allow the programme to continue.

P0639

The reservoir must be re-inserted correctly.

The reservoir must be re-inserted correctly. Push it until it clicks.

After inserting the reservoir the programme will continue after about 20 seconds.

Handy tip: The condensed water may be used in a steam iron or to top up a battery, etc. In this case it must be filtered (e.g. through a coffee filter)

Cleaning the air intake grille

Using a vacuum cleaner remove the fluff from the air intake grille at the back of the appliance.
