WARNINGS

Installation and technical

assistance

■This tumble dryer is designed for domestic use

only. When using this appliance, please comply

with the instructions in this booklet. Failure to do

so may result in injury to people or damage to

objects.

■This appliance must be installed and/or serviced

(optional accessory).

Using your tumble dryer

■Do not allow children to play with appliance or

■In order to avoid danger of fires caused by

excessive drying, do not use appliance to dry the

following items:

■Cushions, quilts and the like (these items

USE

1 Programme Chart

This will help you to select the correct time for

drying.

2Low Temperature Button

Press this button to reduce the temperature when

drying particularly delicate cotton or linen items.

In this case you should select a longer drying time.

On the programmes for synthetics the temperature is

automatically reduced.

Therefore it is not necessary to depress this button.

3 Cool tumbling

By depressing this button the heat is cut off. This is

particularly useful to freshen the laundry (e.g. to

remove a persistent odour of moth-balls). Select 20-30

mins max.

4 Drying Time Selector Dial

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.

5 Mains-On Light

This lights up when the machine starts operating and

goes out at the end of the programme.

HOW TO USE YOUR TUMBLE DRYER

Before using your tumble dryer for

the first time

There may be dust or dirt inside a brand new tumble

dryer. Place a few damp cloths inside the appliance

and dry for approximately 20 minutes.

1. Loading laundry

Open the door. Load spun laundry. Do not press

laundry in appliance. Close door making sure that

there are no laundry items preventing the door from

being closed.

2. Select the required option.

3. Select drying time

Turn the dial clockwise until the desired drying time is

under the symbol on the front panel. The mains-on

light will then light up and the machine starts

operating.

4. End of cycle

When the selected cycle has come to an end, the

tumble dryer will stop and the mains-on light will

switch off automatically. The selector dial will return

to the ‘zero’ position.

Open door and take out cooled laundry.

IMPORTANT! Clean filter after every drying

programme.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION ON USING THE TUMBLE DRYER

ENGLISH

Sort and prepare laundry before

drying

Sort laundry to be dried according to fabric type (see

label on each item) and desired degree of dryness.

Close all zips and tie all strings. Close pillowcases and

quilt covers to prevent small items from getting

tangled inside them.

Never tumble dry the following:

■Particularly delicate items such as synthetic

curtains, silk and nylon stockings.

■Items containing rubber foam or materials similar

to rubber foam.

■Woollens or mixed-wool garments, as these will

shrink and felt.

Do not tumble dry items treated with

inflammable liquids (petrol, methylated

spirits, dry cleaning fluid) to avoid fire risks.

Starched fabrics

Starched fabrics may also be dried in this appliance.

To obtain the best results, select ‘iron dry’ drying time

with residual dampness. When the cycle has been

completed, clean tumble dryer drum with a damp

cloth and then with a dry cloth in order to remove any

remaining starch.

Shrinking

Some items (such as shirts and the like) may easily

shrink to a greater or lesser extent. This is due to the

fact that these items are ‘suspended’ inside the tumble

dryer, as opposed to being hung on a washing line to

dry, which is usually the case.

Do not over-dry these items. Select ‘iron dry’ drying

time for these items.

What is fluff?

When you begin to use your tumble dryer, you will be

surprised at the amount of fluff that accumulates in the

fluff filter.

This is perfectly normal and does not mean that the

tumble dryer is damaging the laundry being dried.

When the tumble dryer is being used, as well as when

items are washed by hand or in a washing machine,

fibres and fluff are released by any laundry item and

adhere to its surface. This also happens when fabrics

are hung out to dry in outdoor environments. In a

tumble dryer fibres and fluff accumulate in the fluff

filter and increase in volume because of the heat

inside the appliance.

Time and energy consumption

Energy consumption and drying times vary according

to the quantity, residual dampness after spinning, size

and nature of the fabrics being dried and the degree of

dryness.

If the appliance is overloaded, mediocre drying results

will be obtained and the laundry will be creased.

In order to reduce energy consumption and drying

times, it is necessary to spin the laundry adequately.

The use is recommended of a washing machine

capable of spinning laundry at a speed of 800 rpm or

more.

Garments which are not ironed, such as shirts, must

also be spun for 10 - 30 seconds before they are dried

in the tumble dryer.

How much does dry laundry weigh?

Please use the following values to load the appliance

correctly. These values refer to cotton garments:

Approximate weight in grammes

Bathrobes...............................................................1200

Quilt covers..............................................................700

Sheets.......................................................................500

Handtowels, pillowcases..........................................200

Shirts, night-gowns..................................................200

Pyjamas, blouses......................................................100

Underpants, socks....................................................100

Leggings ..................................................................300

The labels on the garments indicate exactly which drying method to choose.
