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 all-
•
pole 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.
15
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.
Remove the two distance holders from the packaging.
A.
The distance holders must be inserted on the rear
B.
side of the dryer in the protective cover.
Secure both distance holders by turning them in a
D.
clockwise direction as far as the stop position.

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

Stacking kit
Depending on the
•

PRECAUTIONS AND GENERAL
RECOMMENDATIONS
Always set the programme/time selector knob to the
•
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.
“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.
Please be aware, that drying of clothes with buckles
•
or using dryer balls can affect the surface of the drum.
