Your New Tumble Dryer

This tumble dryer will give your wash that soft, relaxed feel whatever the weather. It is fitted with a condensation system. The moisture extracted from the wash is condensed and then collected in a water tank.

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.

Clothes which are dripping wet should not be placed in the dryer.

■

Do not over-dry laundry, this avoids creasing and saves energy.

■

Clean the filter and the condenser 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.

DRYING TIME

5 Drying time selector dial

Select the desired drying time by turning the dial clockwise (to the right). ATTENTION! In order to avoid causing damage to mechanism, do not turn the dial anti-clockwise.

There are two drying programmes to choose from:

■

Linen - Cotton - (2400 W), 20 - 120 minutes

■

Synthetics - (1800 W), 20 - 80 minutes

Cooling

Drying programmes end with a ten minute cooling phase. This ten minute period is calculated as part of the overall selected drying time. During the cooling phase, the appliance’s heating elements are switched off and the laundry is cooled before the tumble dryer stops automatically in position ‘0’ (end of drying cycle). Do not shorten or interrupt the cooling phase. Leaving warm laundry inside the drum will cause creasing and in some cases permanent damage.
