WARNINGS

3

It is most important that this instruction book
should be retained with the appliance for
future reference. Should the appliance be
sold or transferred to another owner, or
should you move house and leave the
appliance, always ensure that the book is
supplied with the appliance in order that the
new owner can get to know the functioning of
the appliance and the relevant warnings.

■ 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 person.

■ Make sure that the appliance does not stand

on its 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 tumble dryer is designed to be vented

through to the open air. It should have its own
ventilation system which should not be joined
with any other ventilation system connected to
any other appliance.

USE

■ Always unplug the appliance after use.

■ Clothes which are dripping wet should not be

placed in the dryer.
Always load well spun laundry. The higher the
spin speed, the lower the electricity
consumption and the shorter the drying times.

■ Never tumble dry items that have been in

contact with chemicals such as dry
cleaning fluid. These are of a volatile
nature and could cause an explosion.

■ As some bulky items such as duvets and

eiderdowns should be dried in large
commercial machines because of their bulk,
check with the manufacturer of the item if it is
suitable for drying in a domestic machine,
even if the dry weight of the item is within the
limit advised.

■ Always check that no cigarette lighters have

been left in pockets.

■ Leave the porthole door slightly ajar when not

in use to preserve the door seal.

■ The fluff filter must be cleaned after every use.

■ Do not operate the appliance with a damaged

filter as this may cause a fire.

■ Do not overload the appliance.

■ Do not allow fluff to accumulate around the

dryer.

SERVICE/REPAIR

■ Under no circumstances should you attempt to

repair the machine yourself. Repairs carried
out by inexperienced persons may cause
injury or serious malfunctioning. Refer to your
local Zanussi Service Centre. Always insist on
genuine Zanussi spare parts.

GENERAL SAFETY

■ It is dangerous to modify or try to modify the

specifications of this appliance in any way.

■ This appliance is designed to be used by

adults. Children should not be allowed to
touch the controls or play with the product.

■ Pets and small children may climb into tumble

dryers. Check your appliance each time before
use.

ENVIRONMENT PROTECTION

■ The materials used on this appliance marked

with the symbol are recyclable.
This means that they can be recycled by
disposing of them properly in appropriate
collection containers.

■ If you take your appliance to a refuse disposal

site, cut off the power cable flush with the
appliance to avoid the danger of the appliance
being re-used, and disable the door catch to
prevent children becoming trapped inside.

Positioning

It is recommended that, for your convenience, the
machine is positioned close to your washing
machine.
Whilst drying, the tumble dryer will expel a certain
amount of warm, very moist air, and this should
be removed from the room as quickly as possible
to prevent condensation. In an extremely well
ventilated room or close to an open window, this
may occur naturally.
However, in general, it is better to carry the
dryer's exhaust outside via the 100 mm diameter
flexible hose supplied with the appliance; ending
either temporarily at an open window, or
permanently at a fixed ventilation grille, fitted to
an exterior wall or window.
The tumble dryer must be installed in a clean
place, where dirt does not build up.
Make sure there are no obstructing items or
material near the air-intake louvres provided at
the back (e.g. paper, rags etc.).

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 two
adjustable feet at the front of the machine 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

When operating the tumble dryer, the room
temperature must not exceed 35°C, as it may
affect the performance of the appliance.

Fitting the vent hose

To simplify the installation, there is a choice of
vent outlets: one at the back, the others in the left
and right-hand side.
Connect the hose to whichever is the more
convenient by pulling the ring nut (A) from the
vent outlet at the back, screwing it on to the hose
and pushing it firmly back into place.
The unused vents should now be sealed with the
special snap covers provided.

Advice: If the hose is long and the room
temperature low, the moisture might condense to
water inside the hose. This is an unavoidable
natural phenomenon. To prevent this water from
Iying in the hose or flowing back into the tumble
dryer, it is advisable to drill a small hole (dia.
3 mm) in the lowest point of the hose and to
place a small container below it.(See picture,
point A).

Once connected to the dryer, run the vent hose to
the desired outlet point, ensuring that the run’s
overall length is less than 2 m, and that it
contains no more than two bends. As to the outlet
itself, if you have decided on a fixed wall/window
grille, a good local builder’s merchant should be
able to supply you with the necessary fittings and
installation advice.

It is important not to connect the
vent hose to, for example, a cooker
hood, or a chimney or flue pipe
designed to carry the exhaust from
a fuel burning appliance.

Note that to avoid condensation problems, it is
essential that the dryer be fitted with the flexible
hose to carry its “exhaust” at least beyond the
kitchen units; preferable outside the kitchen.

In order to prevent the appliance from
overheating, it is important that the steam
exhaust is unobstructed.
Therefore, in case of a permanent hose fitted to
an exterior wall or ceiling, it must be ensured an
exhaust capacity of at least 150 m

3

/h.

If the dryer is fitted next to kitchen units,
make sure that the vent hose is not squashed.
If the hose is partially squashed, drying
efficiency will be reduced, resulting in longer
drying times and higher energy consumption.

If the hose is completely squashed, the safety
cut-outs with which the machine is fitted may
operate.
