Before loading the laundry

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:

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
on 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.

• 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 on
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.).

Before the first use

Ensure that the electrical connections comply with the installation instructions.

• Remove the polystryrene block and any material from the drum.

• Before using your tumble dryer for the first time, we recommend that you place a few damp
cloths inside the appliance and dry for 30 minutes.

There may be dust inside a brand new tumble dryer.

Make sure that no metal objects are left in
the laundry (e.g. hair clips, safety pins,
pins).

Button up pillowcases, close zip fasteners,
hooks and poppers. Tie any belts or long
tapes.

To avoid laundry becoming tangled: close
zips, button up duvet covers and tie loose
ties or ribbons (e.g. of aprons). Turn items
with double-layered fabrics inside out (e.g.
with cotton lined anoraks, the cotton layer
should be outermost). These fabrics will
then dry better.

Maximum loads

Recommended loads are indicated in the pro­gramme charts.

General rules:

Cotton, linen: drum full but not too tightly

packed;

Synthetics: drum no more than half full;
Delicate fabrics and woollens: drum no

more than one third full.

Try to load to the maximum capacity of the
machine as small loads are uneconomical.

Important:

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.

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.

Cleaning the filters

Your dryer will only function well if the filters are
clean.
The filters collect all the fluff which accumulates
during drying and they must therefore be cleaned
at the end of each programme, before removing
the laundry, with a damp cloth. The light is on to
remind you this operation.

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

Do not be alarmed by the amount of fluff. It is not
due to excessive wear caused by the dryer.

All fabric loses fluff when drying but it goes un­noticed in the air. In a tumble dryer it simply
collects in the filter.

After a while, a whitish patina due to detergent
residue on laundry forms on the filters. When this
occurs, clean the filters 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).

Important:

Do not use the appliance without filters.

Cleaning the condenser unit

Clean the condenser when 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. 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 it at the handle.

Clean it with a brush and rinse it under the
shower 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, as this could
damage the condenser and make it permeable.

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

Important:

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. The pilot light reminds
you this operation.

Proceed as follows:

• Open the small door at the lower part of
the cabinet

• Turn the yellow stop upwards

• Pull out the reservoir

• Open the small cover and let water flow
down

• Close the small cover and re-insert cor­rectly the reservoir

125987730.qxp 2007-06-06 09:15 Page 14

15

• Push it until it clicks and turn the yellow
stop downwards firmly lock it.

• Close the small door and press the
START/PAUSE button again to allow
the programme to continue.

The reservoir must be re-inserted
correctly.

After emptying and inserting the reservoir the
START-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 air intake grille

Using a vacuum cleaner remove the fluff from the
air intake grille at the back of the appliance.

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.

125987730.qxp 2007-06-06 09:15 Page 15

Something not working

Certain problems are due to lack of simple maintenance or oversights, which can be solved easily
without calling out an engineer. Before contacting your local Service Centre, please carry out the
checks listed below.
During machine operation it is possible that the red Start/Pause pilot light flashes to indicate that
the machine is not working.
Once the problem has been eliminated, press the Start/Pause button to restart the programme. If
after all checks, the problem persists, contact your local Service Centre.
