Energy saving tips

To save energy 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.

• 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.

This will help you to select the correct time for drying.

2Delicate 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. On the programmes for synthetics the temperature is automatically reduced. Therefore it is not necessary to depress this button.

3Start Button

After selecting the drying time press this button to start the programme. If the door is opened during drying, this button has to be depressed again after closing the door to allow the programme to continue.

4 On (ON-OFF) Light

This lights up when the machine starts operating and goes out by turning the selector dial to “0” and when you open the door.

Program Time Selector

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.

Additional drying

If at the end of the programme the laundry is still too damp, set the dial for a further period of drying (remembering to take into account the cooling period).
