Tips for environmental protection

To save energy and to help protect the environment, 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. Select the drying time/section according to the type of laundry and the required degree of

dryness.

• To utilize the maximum load, laundry which is to be dried ready to put away (store dry) can be dried together with items to be ironed. To do this, select the time for iron-dry, remove the iron-dry items at the end of the programme and then finish-dry the rest of the load.

• 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.

Warning!

Unpacking

Slide out the polythene bag with the polystyrene stuffing before using the appliance. Pull off adhesive strips from inside machine on top of drum

Should the appliance be moved, it must be transported vertically.

Positioning

It is recommended that, for your convenience, the machine is positioned close to your washing machine. The tumble dryer must be installed in a clean place, where dirt does not build up.

Air must be able to circulate freely all round the appliance. Do not obstruct the front ventilation grille or the air intake grilles at the back of the machine.

To keep vibration and noise to a minimum when the dryer is in use, it should be placed on a firm, level surface. Once in its permanent operating position, check that the dryer is absolutely level with the aid of a spirit level. If it is not, raise or lower the feet until it is.

The feet must never be removed.

Do not restrict the floor clearance through deeppile carpets, strips of wood or similar. This might cause heat build-up which would interfere with the operation of the appliance.

Important

The hot air emitted by the tumble dryer can reach temperatures of up to 60°C. The appliance must therefore not be installed on floors which are not resistant to high temperatures.

When operating the tumble dryer, the room temperature must not be lower than +5°C and higher than +35°C, as it may affect the performance of the appliance.

Electrical connection

This machine is designed to operate on a 220-230 V, single-phase, 50 Hz supply.

Check that your domestic electrical installation can take the maximum load required (2.6 kW), also taking into account any other appliances in use.

Connect the machine to an earthed socket, in accordance with current wiring regulations.

The manufacturer declines any responsibility for damage or injury through failure to comply with the above safety precaution. Should the appliance power supply cable need to be replaced, this must be carried out by our Service Centre.

Important!

The power supply cable must be accessible after installing the machine.

Stacking kit

A special stacking kit is available through your dealer, to enable the mounting of the dryer on top of a front loading washing machine with cover’s depth between 48 and 60 cm.

Read carefully the instructions supplied with the kit.

Draining kit

the condensed water produced during the drying phase directly in the sink. Read carefully the instructions supplied with the kit.

Door reversal

To make it easier to load or unload the laundry the door can be reversed.

This operation must be carried out by qualified personnel.

Please contact the nearest Service Centre.

The control panel

1 Programme Guide

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

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 or the small door at the bottom are 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.

This button must also be pressed after a power

cut.

7 Water Full Indicator Light

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

Important !

The programme will be interrupted, but the time selector dial continues to turn towards the “0” position. The laundry is not dried. After having emptied the container, you have to select the drying programme again for the time required to complete drying. Attention: after this operation, the dryer can remain unactive for some minutes before starting the programme and during this period the water container light remains alight.

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.
