BEFORE USING THE DRYER

•This dryer is exclusively designed to dry machine dryable laundry in quantities which are usual for private households.

•Observe the instructions given in these Instructions For Use and the Programme Chart before using the dryer.

•Keep the Instructions For Use and the Programme Chart handy for reference. If you pass on the dryer to others, make sure that the Instructions For Use and the Programme Chart go with it.

•The manufacturer declines all liability for damage to property or injury to persons or animals due to noncompliance with the directions given in these Instructions For Use.

1.Removing the packaging and inspection

• After unpacking, make sure that the dryer is undamaged. If in doubt, do not use it. Contact the 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.

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

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 connections must comply with local Electricity Board regulations.

•Data regarding voltage, power consumption and the required fuse protection is shown on the rating plate mounted at the rear of the dryer.

•The dryer must be earthed as prescribed by law.

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

•Mains cable replacement must only be carried out by the After-Sales Service.

•After installation, access to the mains plug or to an allpole disconnection switch must be ensured at all times.

•Light bulb replacement must only be carried out by the After-Sales Service.

3. Installation

•Do not install your dryer where it may be exposed to extreme conditions, such as: poor ventilation, temperature below 5°C or above 35°C.

•The appliance must not be installed behind a lockable door, a sliding door or a door with hinges on the opposite side to that of the tumble dryer, in such a way as to prevent the tumble dryer door from being fully opened.

•Small indoor located storage rooms, bathrooms, toilets, shower rooms and enclosed areas without ventilation are not suitable locations for installation of the dryer. If it must be installed in such a location, adequate ventilation must be ensured (open doors, ventilation grid or slot larger than 500 cm²).

•Before running the first cycle, ensure that the water container is fully pushed inside and that the heat exchanger is correctly positioned.

•Before running the first cycle, ensure that all of the drainage system hoses are connected (as shown in the picture below).

•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. Also see section entitled “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.

•When installing the dryer make sure that the four feet are stable and resting on the floor, adjusting them as required, and check that the machine is perfectly level using a spirit level.

•If, due to lack of space, the dryer must be installed directly next to a gas or coal stove, a heat insulating plate (85 x 57cm) must be installed in between and the side of the plate facing the stove must be covered with aluminium foil.

•The dryer is not designed for built-in installation.

•The dryer can be installed under a worktop, provided that adequate ventilation of the dryer is assured. Install a ventilation grid (minimum 45 cm x 8 cm), in the rear part of the worktop under which the dryer is installed.

4. Assembly of distance holders

To ensure that the appliance is positioned at a correct distance from the wall at the rear side and to allow sufficient ventilation, distance holders must be mounted on the rear side of the dryer before starting the first drying cycle.

A.Remove the two distance holders from the packaging.

B.The distance holders must be inserted on the rear side of the dryer in the protective cover.

B

C.Insert the distance holders in the holes provided on both sides.

C

D.Secure both distance holders by turning them in a clockwise direction as far as the stop position.

D

5. User and child protection

•Children must not be allowed to play with the dryer.

•Ensure that children and small animals cannot get into the drum.

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

•The appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety. Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.

Stacking kit

•Depending on the model, your dryer can be stacked on top of your front loading washing machine. For further information please contact the After-Sales Service.

PRECAUTIONS AND GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS

To minimise the risk of fire in the tumble dryer, the following precautions should be observed:

•Oil-soaked items ignite spontaneously, 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 item can become hot enough to catch fire. Piling, stacking or storing oil-soaked items can prevent heat from escaping and so create a fire hazard.

•Do not dry unwashed items in the tumble dryer.

•Ensure that the appliance is maintained as shown in the section “Maintenance and cleaning”.

•Ensure that the appliance is installed as per the instructions above.

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

•Do not use flammable cleaning agents.

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

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

•Fabric softeners or similar products should be used as specified in the fabric softener instructions.

•Remove all objects from pockets, such as lighters and matches.

•Never use or store flammable materials near to the dryer.

•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.

• Warning: rear panel may be hot.

•The dryer is suitable for indoor use only.

•Do not use extension leads or multiple adaptors.

•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.

•The final phase of a drying cycle always occurs without heat (cool-down phase) so that the items are left at a temperature which ensures that they will not be damaged.

•Wipe away any 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 penetrate through the filter, it is necessary to clean the entire filter area (including below the filter) from time to time using a brush, a damp cloth or a vacuum cleaner.
