■

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

■

Your New Tumble Dryer

12345678

This tumble dryer will give your wash that soft, relaxed feel whatever the weather.

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.

■

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

■

Clean the filter 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.

How do we help to protect the environment? We use recycled paper!

Switch

Turn the dial clockwise (to the right) to select the time for drying (see Chart page 6). At the same time the machine is switched on and the programme starts.

This dryer has a drying cycle of up to 140 minutes.

When selecting the drying time you should remember that it includes a 8 minute cooling phase (position

on the dial).

This phase should not be shortened, stopped or avoided, as this could cause skin burns or damages to the laundry.

Cool Tumble If none of the buttons is depressed, the heat is cut off. This is particularly useful to freshen the laundry. If two or all the buttons are pressed together, the machine will carry out the drying programme at the lowest temperature to prevent damages to the laundry.
