Important safety information

These warnings have been provided in the interest of safety. You MUST read them carefully before installing or using the appliance.

ENGLISH

Installation

• Any electrical work required to install this appliance should be carried out by a qualified electrician or competent person.

• Care must be taken to ensure that the appliance does not stand on the electrical supply cable.

• If the machine is situated on a carpeted floor, please adjust the feet in order to allow air to circulate freely.

• This appliance is designed for domestic use only. If the machine is used for any other purposes or is not used correctly, the manufacturer accepts no responsibility for any damage that might occur.

• Always unplug the appliance after use.

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

• Danger of explosion: Never tumble dry items that have been in contact with inflammable solvents (petrol, methylated spirits, dry cleaning fluid and the like). As these substances are volatile, they could cause an explosion. Tumble dry only items washed with water.

• Please make sure that no gas lighters have accidentally been left in pockets of garments to be loaded into appliance.

• Do not dry canvas shoes or sports shoes, as they could get stuck between the door and the drum, thus blocking this latter.

• Leave the door slightly ajar when the appliance is not being used. This will allow the seal to be preserved.

• Clean fluff filters after using the tumble dryer. To prevent fire risks, do not use the appliance if the

fluff filters are damaged or without filters.

• Do not allow fluff to accumulate around the dryer.

General safety

• It is dangerous to alter the specifications or attempt to modify this product in any way.

• Under no circumstances should you attempt to repair the machine yourself. Repairs carried out by inexperienced persons may cause injury or serious malfunctioning. Contact your local Service Centre. Always insist on genuine spare parts.

Child safety

• Children are often not aware of how dangerous electrical appliances can be. When the machine is working, children should be carefully supervised and not be allowed to play with the appliance.

• The packaging components (e.g. plastic film, polystyrene) can be dangerous to children danger of suffocation! Keep them out of children’s reach.

• Make sure that children or pets do not climb into the drum.

• When the appliance is to be scrapped, cut off the electrical supply cable and destroy the plug with the remaining cable. Disable the door catch in order to prevent children from becoming trapped inside while playing.

Disposal

• Packaging materials

The materials marked with the symbol are recyclable.

This means that they can be recycled by disposing of them properly in appropriate collection containers.

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 programme 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 programme 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.

Installation

Warning! Unpacking

Slide out the polythene bag with the polystyrene stuffing before using the appliance.

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 grille 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 deep-

pile 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 (2.2 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.

Useful hints

• Try to load to the maximum capacity of the machine as small loads are uneconomical. For information, here is a list of the average weights of some common laundry items.

Sheet 700 - 1000 g

Tablecloth 400 - 500 g

Kitchen towel 70 - 120 g

Table napkin 50 - 100 g

Towelling hand towel 150 - 250 g

Bathrobe 1000 - 1500 g

Man’s shirt 200 - 300 g

Pillowcase 100 - 200 g

Man’s pyjamas 400 - 500 g

Ladies’ nightdress 200 - 250 g

• Never tumble dry the following: Particularly delicate items such as net curtains, woollen, silk, fabrics with metal trim, nylon tights, bulky materials such as anoraks, blankets, eiderdowns, sleeping bags, feather quilts and any items containing rubber foam or materials similar to rubber foam.

• Always follow the instructions on garment labels:

• Avoid drying dark clothes with light coloured fluffy items such as towels as they could attract the fluff.

• The laundry must be thoroughly spun before tumble drying.

• Easy-care items, too, e.g. shirts, should be briefly pre-spun before drying (depending on crease resistance approx. 30 seconds or using the special brief spin programme of your washing machine).

• Knitted textiles (knitted underwear) may shrink a little during drying. Please do not overdry items of this type. It is advisable to allow for shrinkage when choosing the size of new purchases.

• You can also put starched items into your dryer. However, to achieve the desired starched effect, choose the programme “iron dry”. To remove any starch residues, wipe out the internal drum after drying with a moist cloth and then rub it dry.

• To avoid a static charge when drying is completed, use either a fabric softener when you are washing the laundry or a fabric conditioner specifically for tumble dryers.

• Remove the laundry when the dryer has finished drying.

• If individual items are still damp after drying, set a brief post-drying time, but at least 30 minutes. This will be necessary particularly for multilayered items (e.g. collars, pockets, etc.).

ENGLISH

may be tumble dried normal drying (high temperature) delicate drying (low temperature) do not tumble dry

• Close pillowcases and covers with fasteners to prevent small laundry items getting tangled inside them. Close press studs, zips and hooks and tie belts and apron strings.

• Sort laundry according to type and degree of drying required.

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