Important safety information

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

Installation

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

• 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.

Use

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

• Tumble dryer is intended only for drying textile material, washed in water only.

• Always unplug the appliance after use.

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

• Risk of fire: items that have been spotted or soaked with vegetable or cooking oil constitute a fire hazard and should not be placed in the tumble dryer.

• Oil affected items can ignite spontaneously, especially when exposed to heat sources such as in the tumble dryer. Items become warm, causing an oxidation reaction in the oil. Oxidisation creates heat. If the heat can not escape garments become hot and risk catching fire. Piling, stacking or storing oil affected items can prevent heat from escaping, creating a fire hazard.

• If fabrics that contain vegetable or cooking oil or have been contaminated by hair care products are placed in a tumble dryer, they should be washed first in hot water with extra detergent. This will reduce, but not eliminate the hazard. The cool down cycle should be used to reduce the temperature of the garment. Garments should not be removed from the tumble dryer, piled or stacked while hot.

• Items that have been previously cleaned, washed, soaked or spotted with petrol/gasoline, drycleaning solvents or other flammable or explosive substances should not be placed in the tumble dryer.

• Highly flammable substances commonly used in domestic environments include acetone, denatured alcohol, petrol/gasoline, kerosene, spot removers (some brands), turpentine, waxes and wax removers.

• Items containing foam rubber (also known as latex foam) or a similar textured rubber, should not be dried in a tumble dryer on a heat setting.

• Foam rubber materials can, when heated, produce fire by spontaneous combustion.

• Fabric softeners or similar products should not be used in a tumble dryer to eliminate static electricity unless this practice is specifically recommended by the fabric softener or product manufacturer.

• Undergarments that contain metal reinforcements should not be placed in the tumble dryer.

• Damage to the tumble dryer can occur if metal reinforcements come loose during drying. When available a drying rack could be used for such items.

• Plastic articles such as shower caps or babies’ waterproof napkin covers should not be placed in the tumble dryer.

• Rubber backed articles, clothes fitted with foam rubber pads, pillows, gumboots and rubber coated tennis shoes should not be placed in the tumble dryer.

• Danger of explosion: Never tumble dry items that have been in contact with inflammable solvents (petrol, methylated spirits, dry cleaning fluids etc). These substances are volatile and can cause an explosion. Only tumble dry items washed in water.

• Ensure no gas lighters have been accidentally left in pockets of garments.

• Do not dry canvas shoes or sport shoes, as they could get stuck between the door and the drum.

• Leave the door slightly ajar when the tumble dryer is not in use. This allows the seal to be preserved.

• Clean lint filters after use, to prevent the risk of fire. Do not use the dryer if the lint filters are

damaged or missing.

• Do not allow lint to accumulate around the dryer.

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

• Packaging materials

The materials marked with the symbol are recyclable.

This means they be recycled properly by disposing of them 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 and load the machine to maximum capacity, small loads are uneconomical.

• Always load well spun garments. The higher the spin speed, the lower the electricity consumption and shorter the drying times.

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

• Machine

Use authorised disposal sites for your old appliance. Help keep Australia tidy!

• 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.

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.).

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.

You must disconnect the dryer from the electricity supply before carrying out any cleaning or maintenance work.

External cleaning

Use soap and water only, dry thoroughly.

Important: do not use methylated spirit, diluents or similar products.

Cleaning the door

Clean periodically the interior part of the door to remove any fluff from the seals around the filter. Accurate cleaning ensures correct drying.

After a while a whitish pattern due to detergent residue forms on the filters. When this occurs, clean the filter with warm water using a brush. Remove the filter in the door opening as per picture (it can be positioned with the tooth facing to the left or to the right.).

Do not use the appliance without filters.

Cleaning the condenser unit

Clean the condenser when the CLOGGED CONDENSER light comes on.

The condenser is situated at the lower part of the cabinet behind a small door. To open the door, push the catch as per picture.

Cleaning the filters

Your dryer will only function well if the filters are clean.

The filter collects lint accumulated during drying. The filter must be cleaned at the end of each

program.

The CLOGGED CONDENSER light is on to remind you of this operation.

During the drying cycle or at the end, it is normal for water to be present on the surface of the condenser insertion.

To pull out the condenser, first turn the two red stops downwards and then remove the condenser unit holding the handle.

The filter in the inner door must be removed for cleaning.

Do not be alarmed by the amount of lint, it is not due to excessive wear caused by the dryer. All fabric loses lint when drying but it goes unnoticed in the air. In a tumble dryer it collects in the filter.

Page 14

Clean with a brush, and rinse under a hand shower

P1157

P1156

P0639

if necessary.

Also clean the outside, removing all fluff.

Clean the rubber seal round the condenser cabinet and in the inner part of the small door with a damp cloth.

Important! Do not use pointed objects or utensils to clean the spaces between the plates, this could damage the condenser.

Re-fit the condenser, turn the red stops upwards and close the door.

Do not use this appliance if the condenser has not been fitted.

After emptying and inserting the reservoir the START-PAUSE button has to be depressed again to allow the programme to continue.

Handy tip: The condensed water may be used in a steam iron or to top up a battery, etc. In this case it must be filtered (e.g. through a coffee filter).

Cleaning the drum

When your laundry does not reach the desired degree of dryness, in other words, when it turns out either too dry or too damp, we advise you to clean the inside of the drum with a cloth soaked with vinegar.

This will eliminate the slight patina that has formed in the drum (due to residues of detergent and softeners used in the washing, and to the lime contained in the water), which prevents the probes from detecting the correct degree of dryness.

Emptying the water reservoir

Water extracted from the laundry condenses inside the machine and is collected in a reservoir. The reservoir must be emptied after each drying cycle to ensure efficient operation when the machine is next used. The FULL TANK pilot light reminds you this operation.

Proceed as follows:

•Pull out the reservoir

•Turn it upside down and let water flow down

•Re-fit the reservoir

The reservoir must be re-inserted correctly.

If this is not done the FULL TANK pilot light comes on during next drying and the programme stops, leaving the laundry damp. The buzzer will sound.

Page 15
