Your New Tumble Dryer

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

T o 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 filters 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.

Health Office to see if there are facilities in your

• 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.

environment? We use recycled paper!

1 Programme Chart

This will help you to select the correct time for
drying.

2 Mains-On Light

Comes on when the appliance is switched on
(ON/OFF button pressed down) and goes out when
this button is released.

3 ON/OFF Button

This button is used to switch the dryer on. At the end
of the programme, release this button by pressing it
again to switch the dryer off.

4 Low Temperature

Button

Press this button to reduce the temperature when
drying particularly delicate cotton or linen items.
In this case you should select a longer drying time.

5 Cool Tumble Button

Water Full
Indicator Light

This light illuminates when the reservoir is full or
improperly fitted.

8 Time Selector Dial

The selector dial incorporates two drying cycles, one
of up to 150 minutes at a high temperature for cotton
and linen, and one of up to 100 minutes at a low
temperature for synthetic fabrics. To set the machine
to the selected time, turn the dial clockwise until the
time you want coincides exactly with the pointer.

NEVER attempt to turn the dial in an
anticlockwise direction.

When selecting the drying time you should
remember that it includes a 10 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.

By depressing this button the heat is cut off. This is
particularly useful to freshen the laundry (e.g. to
remove a persistent odour of moth balls) or to dry
extremely delicate items.

6 Start button

Press this button to start the dryer after having
selected the programme.

If the door of the appliance is opened while the
programme is running, this button must be pressed
again after closing the door in order to restart the
programme from the point at which it was
interrupted.
