ENGLISH
• 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.
• Machine
Use authorised disposal sites for your old appliance.
Help to keep your country 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 finishdry the rest of the load.
• Clean the filter and condenser unit regularly to
avoid excessive drying times and high electricity
consumption.
• Ventilate the room well. The room temperature
should not exceed +35°C during drying.

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 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 exceed 35°C, as it may affect
the performance of the appliance.
Stacking kit
A special stacking kit is available through your
dealer, to enable the mounting of the dryer on top of
your washing machine.
Connecting a drain hose
If there is a sink or drain near the appliance, the
condensed water can be discharged directly through
a hose that is available on the market.
In order to connect the hose to the appliance
proceed as follows:
• Remove the clamp (A);
• Pull out the plug (B);
• Insert the drain hose (C);
• Fasten the hose (C) to the appliance using the
clamp (A).
ENGLISH
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.
If the appliance is stacked on the washing machine,
the condensed water can be discharged through the
hose as shown in figure, but take into account that
the hose must be pointed downwards.

The laundry must be suitably spun in your washing machine before being placed in the tumble dryer (800 rpm
minimum). If the washing machine spins at a lower speed than 800 rpm, it is advisable to buy a spin-dryer.
Drying times are given as a guide only and vary according to the size of the load, the type of laundry, the degree
of spinning prior to drying.
Start by selecting a short drying time. If necessary, perform an additional drying cycle afterwards.
Experience will soon enable you to estimate the drying time needed for your usual laundry loads. It is advisable
to take note of them.

Size of load
It is not necessary to weigh the laundry, if these instructions are followed:
■
Cottons, linen: full drum, but not overloaded.
■
Synthetics: half drum.
■
Particularly delicate fabrics: do not fill the drum more than 1/3.
For a mixed load (cotton and synthetics, for example) select the drying time suitable for the most delicate fabrics
and then increase it by approx 10 mins.

Operating sequence
Before using your tumble dryer for the first time, we
recommend to place a few damp cloths inside the
appliance and dry for about 20 minutes.
There may be dust inside a brand new tumble dryer.
1. Connect the appliance.
2. Open the door by pressing the relevant button.
3. Load the items one at a time, shaking them out
loosely.
4. Close the door. Please check the laundry does
not get caught between the door and filter.
5. Select the desired drying time (in high or low
temperature section, depending on the laundry).
6. In case, press button .
7. Press button : the programme starts.
When the position on the dial is reached, the
heating is automatically cut off and the laundry is
cooled.
After around 10 minutes, the programme is over.
Important: It is not advisable to open the door during
operation to check the degree of dryness. As the
laundry is warm, when touched it gives the
impression of still being damp, even if it is dry. Open
the door after the programme has finished.
If the programme has to be interrupted, it is
advisable to perform the cooling phase to prevent
the heat from building up inside the machine.
After drying
■
Switch off the appliance.
■
Clean the filter and empty water container (see
page 12).

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
• 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 20 minutes.
This will be necessary particularly for multilayered
items (e.g. collars, pockets, etc.).
ENGLISH
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:
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.
• 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.

Maintenance and Cleaning
P0639
P0636
P1026
You must disconnect the appliance from the
electricity supply, before you can carry out any
cleaning or maintenance work.
External cleaning
Use only soap and water and then dry thoroughly.
From time to time, apply a little wax furniture cream
with a soft cloth.
Important: do not use methylated spirit, diluents or
similar products.
Cleaning the filter
The tumble dryer cannot operate efficiently with a
clogged filter. The filter collects all the fluff which
forms during drying and it is therefore essential to
remove and clean this filter after each drying
programme using a damp cloth.
Pull the filter upwards in order to remove it.
Also clean the outside, removing all fluff.
Clean the rubber seal round the porthole door and
the seal of the condenser in the inner door with a
damp cloth.
Important! Do not use pointed objects or utensils to
clean the spaces between the plates, as this could
damage the condenser and make it permeable.
Do not use this appliance if the condenser
has not been fitted.
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.
Important: should the reservoir be filled during a
drying programme, the light will light up on the
panel to indicate that the reservoir has to be emptied.
The time selector dial rotates to position “O”, but the
drying cycle is not completed. In this case, after
emptying out the reservoir, the remaining drying time
has to be selected again.
Insert reservoir correctly.
Important: Remove the fluff around the filter too.
Do not use the appliance without filter.
You should not be alarmed by the amount of fluff
which collects on the filter; this is due to normal
wearing of the fabrics dried and not to incorrect
operation of your machine. Rubbing of the fibres
during normal wear and washing forms fluff. If
laundry is dried on a line, this fluff simply flies away,
whereas inside the tumble dryer it collects together
and swells considerably as a result of the drying
action.
Cleaning the condenser unit
Clean the air condenser periodically, 3 or 4 times a
year depending on how frequently the dryer is used.
Pull out the condenser, holding it at the top, and
remove all fluff. Clean it with a brush and rinse it
under the shower if necessary.
Attention: After this procedure, before the dryer
resumes the operation, for a few seconds it could
remain still and the “water reservoir full” light could
remain on.
Water
reservoir
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).
