This tumble dryer will give your wash that soft, relaxed feel whatever
the weather.

Extremely high quality standards both during development and
manufacturing guarantee a long service life for your appliance.

Maximum economy in the operation of your dryer is achieved through
very frugal electricity consumption and short drying times.

Your New Tumble Dryer

In the interest
of the environment

• Materials marked with the symbol are

recyclable.

• Check with your local Council or Environmental

Health Office to see if there are facilities in your
area for re-cycling this appliance.

• When the appliance is to be scrapped, cut off the

power supply cable and make the door closing
device unusable to prevent young children from
being trapped inside.

• Help to keep your country tidy - use authorised

disposal sites for your old appliance.

How do we help to protect the
environment? We use recycled paper!

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.

5

Water Full
Indicator Light

This light illuminates when the reservoir is full or
improperly fitted.

6 Time Selector Dial /

On Off Switch

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.

of spinning prior to drying.

Start by selecting a short drying time. If necessary, perform an additional drying cycle afterwards.
Experience will soon enable you to estimate the drying time needed for your usual laundry loads. It is advisable

to take note of them.

Size of load

It is not necessary to weigh the laundry, if these instructions are followed:

• Cottons, linen: full drum, but not overloaded.

• Synthetics: half drum.
For a mixed load (cotton and synthetics, for example) select the drying time suitable for the most delicate

fabrics and then increase it by approx 10 mins.

Operating Sequence

Before using your tumble dryer for the first time, we
recommend you place a few damp cloths inside the
appliance and dry for 20 minutes.
There may be dust inside a brand new tumble dryer.

Drying

1. Connect the appliance.

2. Open the door.

3. Load the items one at a time, shaking them out
loosely.

4. Close the door. Please check the laundry does not
get caught between the door and filter.

5. Select the drying time by turning the Time
Selector Dial clockwise.

6. If required, press the Low T emperature Button .

7. Press the Start Button : the machine starts
operating. The mains-ON light comes on.

The drum turns alternately in both directions
during drying.

All drying programmes end with a 10 minute
cooling phase (position on selector dial).
The machine stops
automatically at the end of this phase. The mains­on light goes out.

8. Immediately remove the laundry.

P1108

P1149

After each use

• Clean the filters (see page 9).

• Empty the water reservoir (see page 10).

Important!

If the drying programme has to be stopped before it
reaches the end, we recommend that you turn the
Time Selector Dial to position (cooling) and wait
until the end of this phase before removing the
laundry. This will avoid a build-up of heat inside the
appliance.

Modifying the programme

To change a programme which is running, turn the
Time Selector Dial clockwise to the required position.

125992062.qxp 2004-05-24 09:03 Page 7

Before placing articles of laundry in your tumble
dryer, check the care labels to ensure they are
recommended for tumble drying.

Care Labels you may find on your laundry

may be tumble dried
normal drying (high temperature)
delicate drying (low temperature)
do not tumble dry

Do not overload the appliance.

Here is a list of the approximate weight of some
common laundry items.
Sheet 700 to 1000 g
Pillowcase 100 to 200 g
Tablecloth 400 to 500 g
Table Napkin 50 to 100 g
Kitchen Towel 70 to 120 g
Linen Hand Towel 100 to 150 g
Hand Towel 150 to 250 g
Bath Towel 700 to 1000 g
Bathrobe 1000 to 1500 g
Shirt 200 to 300 g
Apron 150 to 200 g

•Always load well spun laundry. The higher the spin

speed the lower the electricity consumption and the
shorter the drying time.

•DO NOT load dripping wet laundry into the dryer.

Roll the article in a towel or spin to remove excess
water.

•Close poppers and zips and fasten any buttons.

•Sort the laundry. Separate synthetics from

cotton/linens, and dry separately.

•Remove the laundry immediately after the

programme has finished.

•Use a fabric conditioning sheet to reduce static. We

recommend the sheet is pinned to an article of
laundry (using a safety pin).

•Mix the load i.e. large and small articles.

•When drying large items such as sheets, we

recommend you periodically stop the dryer to
redistribute the load.

DO NOT use the tumble dryer to dry the following:

•Articles contaminated with inflammable substances

e.g. petrol, cleaning solvents, cooking oil, fats or
hair lacquer.

•Woollen and synthetic/wool mixtures unless the

item is labelled as suitable for tumble drying.

•Very delicate articles such as silk.

•Very large and bulky items such as duvets or

sleeping bags.

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.
Regular 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 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
looses fluff when drying but it goes un-noticed in the
air. In a tumble dryer it simply collects in the filter.

Maintenance and Cleaning

After a while, a whitish film due to detergent residue
on laundry forms on the filters. When this occurs,
clean the filters (specially the filter in the door
opening) with warm water using a brush. Remove it
as per picture (it can be positioned with the tooth
facing to the left or to the right).

Do not use the appliance without filters.

Cleaning the condenser unit

Clean the air condenser periodically, 3 or 4 times a
year depending on how frequently the dryer is used.

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.

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

It is quite normal to find droplets of water on

top of or at the front of the condenser unit.
This is not a fault with the appliance.

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.

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.
If this is not done a safety device trips: pilot light
on the control panel comes on and the
programme stops, leaving the laundry damp.

The reservoir can be emptied even in the middle of a
programme.

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

•

Push it until it clicks and turn the yellow stop

downwards to lock firmly it

•

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

P0639

•

The reservoir must be re-inserted correctly.
Push it until it clicks.

After inserting the reservoir the programme will
continue after about 20 seconds.

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.

Unpacking

Warning !

Slide out the polythene bag containing the

polystyrene block before using the appliance.

Should the appliance be moved, it must be
transported vertically.

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 deep-

pile 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 (optional accessory)

It should be possible to stack your new dryer on top
of a front loading washing machine with a worktop
depth of between 48 and 60 cm.

The instructions are supplied with the kit.
Please contact your Local Service Force Centre for

further advice.

Door reversal

To make it easier to load or unload the laundry the
door can be reversed.

This operation must be carried out by qualified
personnel.

Please contact the nearest Zanussi Service Force
Centre.

Electrical connection

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

WARNING: THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE
EARTHED.

The manufacturer declines any liability
should this safety measure not be observed.
Should the appliance power supply cable
need to be replaced, this should be carried
out by our Service Centre.

Before switching on, make sure the electricity supply
voltage is the same as that indicated on the

Should the plug need to be replaced for any reason,
proceed as described below.
The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance
with the following code:

Green and Yellow - Earth

The wire coloured green and yellow must be
connected to the terminal marked with the letter «E»
or by the earth symbol or coloured green and
yellow.

The wire coloured blue must be connected to the
terminal «N» or coloured black.

The wire coloured brown must be connected to the
terminal marked «L» or coloured red.
Upon completion there must be no cut, or stray
