SAFETY ADVICES BEFORE USING THE DRYER / CONNECTIONS

1. Removing the packaging and check

After unpacking, make sure that the dryer is undamaged. If in doubt, do not use the dryer. Contact After-Sales Service or your local retailer.

If the appliance was exposed to the cold prior to delivery, keep it at room temperature for a few hours before operating.

Keep the packaging materials (plastic bags, polystyrene parts, etc.) out of reach of children, as they are potentially dangerous.

Remove the protective foil from the control panel.

2. Electrical Connections

Electrical connections must be carried out by a qualified technician in compliance with the manufacturer’s instructions and current standard safety regulations.

Electrical connection must comply with local Electricity Board regulations.

Voltage information, power consumption and the required fuse protection is shown on the rating plate mounted at the rear of the dryer.

The manufacturer cannot accept any liability for personal injury or damage to property resulting from failure to adhere to these instructions.

The dryer must be earthed as prescribed by law.

Do not use extension leads or multiple adaptors.

Before any maintenance on the dryer disconnect it from the mains supply.

Do not operate the dryer if it has been damaged during transport. Contact one of our After-Sales Service technicians.

Mains cable replacement is only to be carried out by After-Sales Service.

After installation access to the mains plug has to be guaranteed, or the all-pole disconnection has to be possible with a switch.

3. Installation

Do not install your dryer where it can be subject to extreme conditions, such as: poor ventilation, temperatures below 5°C or above 35°C.

Before running the first cycle ensure the water container and heat exchanger are correctly positioned.

Only for water container top version: if possible use a hose to drain the water directly into the domestic plumbing system. This will avoid having to empty the water container at the end of each drying cycle since the condensation water can be directly drained away. See also chapter “Drainage System”.

Take care not to install the dryer on a deep-pile carpet.

Take care not to trap the mains cable between the dryer and the wall.

Stability:

When installing the dryer always carefully level the dryer adjusting the four feet and check the correct levelling with a spirit level.

To built in the dryer

Remove the work-top and replace it with the BuiltIn kit (according to Eec Electrical Regulations), available at your dealer. As prescribed by law, only a qualified technician has to do the installation.

Stacking kit

Depending on the model, your dryer can be stacked on top of your front loading washing machine. Please contact your dealer or our After-Sales Service.

Minimum housing dimensions:

Width: 600 mm Height: 855 mm Depth: 600 mm

SAFETY ADVICES AND GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS

1.Packing

The packing box may be fully recycled as confirmed by the recycling symbol .

2.Energy saving tips

Always dry a full load: depending on the type of laundry and the programme/drying time.

By preference use the maximum spin speed allowed by your washing machine, since draining the water mechanically requires less energy. You will save time and energy when running your drying cycle.

Do not overdry the laundry.

Clean the lint filter after every drying cycle.

Place your dryer in a room with a temperature between 15° C and 20° C. In case of higher temperature ventilate the room.

Always select the correct programme/drying time for the load in order to obtain the desired drying results.

Select the gentle option only with small loads.

When drying cotton, for example. dry iron dry and cupboard dry loads together. Start with the iron dry programme/drying time setting, remove the laundry to be ironed at the end of that cycle and dry the remainder of the load on the cupboard dry setting.

3.Disposing of packaging and old Dryer:

The dryer is built from reusable materials. The dryer must be disposed of in compliance with local waste disposal regulations.

Before scrapping, cut off the power cable so that the dryer cannot be connected to the mains.

4.Child safety:

Children must not be allowed to play with the dryer.

5.General recommendations:

Always set the programme/time selector knob to the “0” position after use.This prevents the dryer from being switched on accidentally.

Before cleaning or carrying out maintenance, switch off the dryer and disconnect it from the mains supply.

To clean the outside of the dryer, use a neutral detergent and a damp cloth.

Do not use abrasive detergents.

Do not use inflammable cleansing agents.

Do not use the tumble dryer if chemicals have been used for cleaning.

Garments treated or contaminated with flammable cleaning sprays or liquids such as petrol, cooking oil or aerosol sprays must not be put in this dryer.

Lighters must not be left in pockets.

Never use and store flammable materials nearby the dryer.

Wipe away lint from the door seal and the door using a damp cloth.

If the lint filter mesh is clogged, clean it with water and a soft brush.

Since lint can go through the filter it is necessary to clean, from time to time, the complete filter area (including below the filter) with a brush, a damp cloth or with a vacuum cleaner.

If necessary, the power cable may be replaced with an identical one obtained from our After-Sales Service. The power cable must only be replaced by a qualified technician.

6. To minimize the risk of fire in tumble dryer, the following should be observed:

Oil-affected item can ignite spontanously, especially when exposed to heat sources such as in a tumble dryer. The items become warm, causing an oxidation reaction in the oil. Oxidation creates heat. If the heat cannot escape, the items can become hot enough to catch fire. Piling, stacking or storing oil-affected items can prevent heat from escaping and so create a fire hazard.

Do not tumble dry unwashed items in the tumble dryer.

If it is unavoidable that fabrics that contain vegetable or cooking oil or have been contaminated by hair care products be placed in a tumble dryer they should first be washed in hot water with extra detergent - this will reduce, but not eliminate, the hazard.

Items that have been soiled with substances such as cooking oil, acetone, alcohol, petrol, kerosene, spot removers, turpentine, waxes and wax removers should be washed in hot water with an extra amount of detergent before being dried in the tumble dryer.

Items such as foam rubber (latex foam), shower caps, waterproof textiles, rubber backed articles and clothes or pillows fitted with foam rubber pads should not be dried in the tumble dryer.

Fabric softeners, or similar products, should be used as specified by the fabric softener instructions.
