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.).

9

125987722_EN.qxp 2007-11-21 16:20 Page 10

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.

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).

P1152

14

125987722_EN.qxp 2007-11-21 16:20 Page 15

Important:

Do not use the appliance without filters.

153

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.

P1154

To pull out the condenser, first turn the two red stops downwards and then remove the condenser unit holding it at the handle.

0636

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:

Take out drawer containing condensed water container completely.

Pull up the condensed water container’s drainage pipe as far as it will go.

Pour condensed water out into a basin or simi-

lar receptacle.

Slide outlet connections in and refit condensate tank.If the programme has been interrupted as a result of the condensate tank being full:

15

125987722_EN.qxp 2007-11-21 16:20 Page 16

Press the START/PAUSE button to continue the drying cycle.

E1157

The reservoir must be re-inserted correctly.

If this is not done the pilot light comes on during next drying and the programme stops, leaving the laundry damp. The buzzer will sound for 1 minute.

After emptying and inserting the reservoir the START/PAUSE 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).

Tips for environmental protection

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. Press the buttons down until the pilot lights above each one begin to flash and one of the pilot lights indicating the drying phase lights , , remains lit

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.

Adjusting the level of conductivity:

Press the button Start/Pause sequentially: the level of conductivity is indicated by the lighting of the horizontal hyphens.

The appliance must not be installed behind a lockable door, a sliding door or a door with a hinge on the opposite side to that of the appliance.

Positioning

It is recommended that, for your convenience, the machine is positioned close to your washing machine.

The tumble dryer must be installed in a clean place, where dirt does not build up.

Air must be able to circulate freely all round the appliance. Do not obstruct the front ventilation grille or the air intake grilles at the back of the machine.

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 feet until it is.

The feet must never be removed. Do not restrict

the floor clearance through deeppile carpets, strips of wood or similar. This might cause heat build-up which would interfere with the operation of the appliance.

Important

The hot air emitted by the tumble dryer can reach temperatures of up to 60°C. The appliance must therefore not be installed on floors which are not resistant to high temperatures. When operating the tumble dryer, the room temperature must not be lower than +5°C and higher than +35°C, as it may affect the performance of the appliance.

Stacking kit

A special stacking kit is available through your dealer, to enable the mounting of the dyer on top of a front loading washing machine with cover’s depth between 48 and 60 cm.

Read carefully the instructions supplied with the kit.
