Sort by:
Material thickness: Whenever there is greater load than the dryer can handle, separate laundry according to weight (e.g. dry towels and thin underwear separately).
Type of material: Cotton (linen); synthetic textiles (easy care). Degree of drying: Cupboard dry, iron dry etc.
Do not tumble dry: Woollens, silk, nylon stockings, delicate embroidery, fabrics with metallic decorations, bulky items such as sleeping bags, etc.
Check that all fastenings are closed and that pockets are empty. Please ensure that there are no cigarette lighters in the wash. Turn laundry inside out.
Pull the door handle.
Place laundry loosely in the drum to achieve equal drying throughout. Then close the door.
Select the drying time required by turning the programme selector knob (for information, refer to programme table).
Select the option required by pressing the corresponding button.
The indicator lamp above the relevant button lights up to confirm your selection. A fast blinking led indicates a wrong selection is made (incompatible options). Press the button again to cancel the option.
The drying programme is started by pressing the “Start (Pause)” button. The relevant indicator lamp lights up.
Changing programme selection: If the time selected is changed during drying, the dryer stops. The Drying indicator lamps flashes. To operate the new programme, again press the “Start (Pause)” button.
Interrupting programme: Avoid to interrupt the drying cycle. For your safety the drying cycle stops automatically if you open the door. To restart, after door opening, close the door and press the “Start (Pause)” button again.
Warning: Never stop a tumble dryer before the end of the drying cycle, unless all items are quickly removed and spread out so that the heat is dissipated.
The final part of a tumble dryer cycle occurs without heat (cool down cycle) to ensure that the items are left at a temperature that ensures that the items will not be damaged.
End of Cycle: Take the laundry out of the dryer. The drying process is complete and the anti-crease phase has been reached (active).
Anticrease: If the laundry is not removed at the end of the drying cycle, an automatic anti-crease cycle will operate for maximum 15 min. The drum rotates at regular intervals to prevent the laundry from creasing.
Set the programme selector knob to “Off” “ ”.
Cleaning the lint filter: Open door, pull lint filter up and out of machine and open it. Brush lint using a soft brush or your fingertips. Push lint filter firmly back into place.
Please note: Only use additives/plastic items specified as dryer safe and rinse items that have been treated with stain remover thoroughly in plenty of water before drying. Never dry rubber objects or objects stained with vegetable oils in the dryer.
