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.

Drying hints

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.).

8

125987730.qxp 2007-06-06 09:14 Page 9

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.

Laundry weights

The following weights are indicative:

bathrobe	1200 g
napkin	100 g
quilt cover	700 g
sheet	500 g
pillow case	200 g

Care and cleaning

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.

P1150

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.

P1110

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

51

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).

1152

13

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

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.

59

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

14

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