Use

•Do not overload the appliance (see programme

chart).

•Clothes which are dripping wet should not be

placed in the dryer.

•As some bulky items such as duvets and

eiderdowns should be dried in large commercial

machines because of their bulk, check with the

manufacturer of the item if it is suitable for drying

in a domestic machine, even if the dry weight of

the item is within the limit advised.

•Please make sure that no gas lighters have

accidentally been left in pockets of garments to be

loaded into appliance.

•Danger of explosion: Never tumble dry items that

have been in contact with inflammable solvents

FUNCTION

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

•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!

•Old appliance

The symbol on the product or on its packaging

indicates that this product may not be treated as

household waste. Instead it shall be handed over to the

applicable collection point for the recycling of electrical

and electronic equipment. By ensuring this product is

disposed of correctly, you will help prevent potential

negative consequences for the environment and human

health, which could otherwise be caused by in appropriate

waste handling of this product. For more detailed

information about recycling of this product, please contact

your local city office, your household waste disposal

service or the shop where you purchased the product.

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.

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.

Operating Sequence

Before using your tumble dryer for the first time, we

recommend to place a few damp cloths inside the

appliance and dry for 30 minutes.

There may be dust inside a brand new tumble dryer.

Drying

1. Connect the appliance.

2. Open the door (see picture).

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 programme or time. The lights

DRYING, COOLING and END come on. The

light of the START/PAUSE button flashes and the

display shows the duration of the programme.

6. If required, press the LOW TEMPERATURE

button and/or the NO BUZZER button or the

QUICK DRY button.

7. Select the DELAY START if required. The

selected delay appears on the display for 2

seconds, then the duration of the selected

programme is displayed.

8. Press the START/PAUSE button: the

corresponding light stops flashing and drying

starts. Only the DRYING light stays lit. If you

have selected the DELAY START, the machine

begins its countdown.

The drum turns alternately in both directions

during drying.

All drying programmes end with a 10 minute

cooling phase (light COOLING is on).

You may remove the laundry after this phase.

The END, CLEAN FILTERS and FULL TANK

lights illuminate. The display shows a static zero

and the buzzer sounds to indicate the end of the

cycle.

9. If the laundry is not removed at the end of the

cycle, the dryer performs an anti-creasing phase

(duration: 30 minutes maximum).

If you do not remove the laundry, the dryer will

P1108

P1149

stop automatically at the end of the anti-creasing

phase.

The END, CLEAN FILTERS and FULL TANK

lights remain lit and the buzzer sounds for 2

minutes.

The light of the START/PAUSE button goes off

and a flashing zero appears on the display.

10.Turn the programme selector dial to “RESET/

OFF”; all the lights go out. The appliance is

switched off.

Remove the laundry.

If you open and then close the door before

turning the programme selector dial to

“RESET/OFF”, all the lights corresponding to

the phases making up the performed

programme come on and the display shows the

duration of the programme.

After each use

• Clean the filters (see page 11).

• Empty the water reservoir (see page 12).

Important!

If the drying programme has to be stopped before it

reaches the end, we recommend that you turn the

programme 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. To do this first turn the dial to “RESET/

OFF” and then to “Cooling” and depress

START/PAUSE Button.

Modifying the programme

To change a programme which is running, first cancel

it by turning the programme selector dial to “RESET/

OFF”. Select the new programme and press the

START/PAUSE Button.

125981230.qxp 2005-09-03 11:58 Page 9

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.
