Important safety information

Installation

• Any electrical work required to install this appliance should be carried out by a qualified electrician or competent person.

• Care must be taken to ensure that the appliance does not stand on the electrical supply cable.

• If the machine is situated on a carpeted floor, please adjust the feet in order to allow air to circulate freely.

Use

• This appliance is designed for domestic use only. If the machine is used for any other purposes or is not used correctly, the manufacturer accepts no responsibility for any damage that might occur.

• Always unplug the appliance after use.

• Clothes which are dripping wet should not be placed in the dryer.

• Danger of explosion: Never tumble dry items that have been in contact with inflammable solvents (petrol, methylated spirits, dry cleaning fluid and the like). As these substances are volatile, they could cause an explosion. Tumble dry only items washed with water.

• Risk of fire: items that have been spotted or soaked with vegetable or cooking oil constitute a fire hazard and should not be placed on the tumble dryer.

• If you have washed your laundry with stain remover you must execute an extra rinse cycle before loading your tumble dryer.

• Please make sure that no gas lighters have accidentally been left in pockets of garments to be loaded into appliance.

• Do not dry canvas shoes or sports shoes, as they could get stuck between the door and the drum, thus blocking this latter.

• Leave the door slightly ajar when the appliance is not being used. This will allow the seal to be preserved.

• Clean fluff filters after using the tumble dryer. To prevent fire risks, do not use the appliance if the

fluff filters are damaged or without filters.

• Do not allow fluff to accumulate around the dryer.

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.

• 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 finish-dry the rest of the load.

• 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.

Adjusting the level of conductivity

Water contains, a variable quantity of limestone and mineral salts of which quantities vary according to geographical locations thus varying its conductivity values.

Relevant variations of the conductivity of the water compared to those prefixed by the factory could slightly influence the residual humidity of the laundry at the end of the cycle.

Your dryer allows you to regulate the sensitivity of the drying sensor based on conductivity values of the water by using the following procedure.

To access adjustment mode:

Turn the programme selector dial to switch on the appliance. In selection mode, press simultaneously the buttons 2 and 4. IPress the buttons down until the pilot lights above each ones begin to flash and one of the pilot lights indicating the drying phase lights “DROGEN”, cooling “AFKOELEN”, or end cycle “EINDE” remains lit

Adjusting the level of conductivity:

Press the button Start/Pauze (Start/Pause)

sequentially: the level of conductivity is indicated by

the lighting of the horizontal hyphens.

Normally, the appliance is factory-set to the highest level; however, certain models may be configured differently.

Memorizing the new setting:

Simultaneously press the buttons 2 and 4.

Press the buttons down until the pilot lights above each ones stop flashing and the buzzer sounds.
