Important safety instructions

Grounding instructions

A) Grounding instructions for a grounded,

current. This appliance (Canadian market only)

is equipped with a cord having an

equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding

plug. The plug must be plugged into an

appropriate outlet that is properly installed and

grounded in accordance with all local codes and

ordinances.

WARNING!

Improper connection of the equipment-grounding

conductor can result in a risk of electric shock.

Check with a qualified electrician or service

representative or personnel if you are in doubt

as to whether the appliance is properly grounded.

Do not modify the plug provided with the

appliance (Canadian market only). If it will not fit

the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a

qualified electrician.

To reduce the risk of fire, this appliance must be

exhausted outdoors or the equivalent. Do not

exhaust into a chimney, wall, ceiling or concealed

space in a building.

B) Grounding instructions for a

permanently connected appliance:

This appliance must be connected to a grounded

metal, permanent wiring system, or an

equipment-grounding conductor must be run with

the circuit conductors and connected to the

equipment-grounding terminal or lead on the

appliance.

NOTE!

This manual does not cover every possible

condition and situation that may occur. Use

common sense and caution when installing,

operating, and maintaining any appliance.

Installation

Description of the tumble dryer

Here are some tips that may help you before you

begin tumble drying.

Have the clothes been spun?

Items to be tumble dried should be spun at 1000

rpm or faster. Higher spin speeds save energy

and reduce drying time.

Materials that can be tumble dried

This symbol means that the material is suitable

for tumble drying. Fabrics best suited to tumble

drying are cotton fabrics, terry cloth, and synthetic

fibers. Garments will be softer and lighter when

tumbled than when hung out to dry.

NOTE!

The tumble dryer does not cause any significant

wear on fabrics. The lint trapped in the lint filter

consists of dust and fiber residues formed when

the items are used.

Materials that should not be tumble

dried

This symbol means that the material is not

suitable for tumble drying. Certain materials may

melt or become a fire hazard if exposed to heat

and others can lose their shape or shrink.

And do not tumble dry

• materials labeled "Do not dry near heat".

•garments that have been dry-cleaned at home.

• plastic foam.

• fiberglass material.

• wool must not be tumble dried due to the risk

of piling.

Static electricity

To reduce the risk of static electricity in the laundry

after tumble drying, you can:

• Use fabric softener when washing.

•Wait five minutes after the drying program ends

before opening the door and removing the

laundry from the dryer.

NOTE!

You can stop the tumble dryer by pressing the

Stop button for three seconds or by opening the

door. In both cases the program is stopped and

starts from the beginning if restarted.

If you do not want to restart the program,

immediately remove all laundry and spread it out

to allow the heat to dissipate.

Advice and tips before you tumble dry

persons, read the "Important Safety Instructions"

section before operating this appliance.

Below are step-by-step instructions to help you

achieve the best possible tumble drying results.

results if the items are made of the same

type of material. Close zippers and fasten buttons

or belts; sort the items and adjust load and

temperature.

2Press the main power switch

until the display lights.

Operating instructions

4Select the program

Main power switch

Program selector Display window

Options buttons Start Stop

Select a program by turning the program selector. The selected program is shown in the display window.

Use the option buttons to select any options.

Guidelines as to what specific programs

can be used for:

Auto Heavy

This program is for items that are particularly

difficult to dry.

NOTE!

Knitted fabrics in particular are prone to

shrinkage. Use the Auto Heavy, Auto Delicate,

or Auto Iron Dry programs for these items.

Stretch clothes back into shape immediately

after drying.

Auto Normal and Auto Delicate

These programs end automatically when the load

is dry. The Auto Normal program gives slightly

drier laundry than Auto Delicate.

Auto Iron Dry

This program shuts off the heat once the load is

just damp enough for ironing or pressing.

Jeans

Program for jeans and clothing with very thick

seams. Delayed Start can be selected as an

option.

Synthetic

Gentle program for synthetics. Delayed Start can

be selected as an option.

Terry cloth

Program intended for large and small loads of

thick terry cloth, such as towels and bathrobes.

Down

Gentle program that dries down items completely.

Can be used to dry up to three pillows or one quilt.

Timed Dry

The most suitable program time depends on what

you intend to do with the items after tumble drying

them. Use trial and error to find out what works

best. When you use Timed Dry to tumble dry a

load of mixed fabrics, some of the garments may

remain damp. Tumble dry any damp garments

for a further 30 minutes or so using the Timed Dry

program.

Select the program time by pressing the + and -

buttons. A program time between 30 minutes and

3 hours can be selected and each button press

changes the time by 15 minutes.

NOTE!

When using the Timed Dry program with a

program time that is too long, the garments can

become "over-dry". This can cause items to

shrink or wrinkle and feel rough to the touch.

Synthetic materials can also become charged

with static electricity.
