Safety Warnings

● Items that have been spotted or soaked with vegetable or cooking oil constitule a fire hazard and

shoul no be placed in a tumble dryer. Oil-affected items can ignite spontaneously, especially when

exposed to heat sources such as in a tumble dryer.The items become warm, causing an oxidation

reaction in the oil. Oxidation creates heat. If the heat can not escape, the item s can become hot

enough to catch fire. Pilling, stacking or storing oil-affected items can prevent heat from escaping

and so create a fire hazard. If it is unavoidable that fabrics that contain vegetable or cooking oil or

have been contaminated by hair care products be placed in a tumble dryer they should first be

washed in hot water with extra degergent- this will reduce but not eliminate , the hazard. The « cool

down » cycle of the tumble dryers should be used to reduce the temprature of the items. They

should not be removed from the tumble dryer or piled or stacked while hot.

● Items that have been previously clean in, washed in, soaked in or spotted wth petrol/gasoline, dry

cleaning solvents or other flammable or explosive substances should not be placed in a tumble

dryer. Highly flammable substances commonly used in demosetic environments include acetone,

denatured alcohol, perol/gasoline, kerosene, spot removers (some brands), turpentine, waxes

and wax removers.

● Items containing foam rubber ( also known as latex foam) or similarly textured rubber, like

materials should not be dried in a tumble dryer on a heat setting.

● Fabric softeners or similar products should not be used in a tumble dryer to eleminate the effects

of static electricity unless this practce is specifically recommended by the manufacturer of the

fabric softener or product.

●Undergarments that contain metal reinforcements should not be placed in a tumble dryer.

Damage tot he tumble dryer can result if the metal reinforcements come loose during drying. When

available a drying rack could be used for such items.

● Plastic articles such as shower caps or babies waterproof napkin covers should not be placed in

a tumble dryer.

● Rubber-backed articles, closthes fitted with foam rubber pads, pillows, galoshes and rubber-

coated tennis shoes should not be placed in a tumble dryer.

● Check that the product has no visible signs of damage before use. If damaged do not use and

please call Customer Care.

● Do not use adapters, multiple connectors and/or extensions.

● Never install the dryer against curtains and be sure to prevent items from falling or collecting behind

the dryer.

● 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 tumble dryer.

water is allowed to freeze in the hydraulic circuit (valves,

hoses, pumps). For a better product performance the

ambient room temperature must be between +2°C and

+35°C. Please note that operating in cold condition

(between +2 and +15°C) might imply some water

condensation and water drops on floor.

pockets are empty. Turn the articles inside out.

Place clothes loosely in the drum to make sure

that they don't get tangled.

Clothes Preparation

capacity, separate clothes according to

thickness (e.g. towels from thin underwear).

The Sensor Dry machine gives many options for drying the laundry

to suit all circumstances. The table on the next page lists the

programmes and the function of each programme.

Note:

The sensor may not detect a small load of small articles. For small

loads and separate items or pre-dried fabrics with low moisture

content, use the timed programmes.

If the sensor does not detect the item the dryer will only operate for

10 minutes before going into cooldown.

If the load is too large or too wet to tumble dry the dryer will

automatically go into cooldown after approximately 3 hours.

In these cases we advise to use a time cycles between 30 and

75minutes depending on the load size and dryness required, and

select high or low heat depending upon the fabric type.

DESCRIPTION

Select the degree of dryness that you require. This range from

for bath towels and bathrobes, through for items that will be

put away without ironing, to the programme that leaves the laundry

suitable for ironing.

A gentle programme specially created to get woollens softer after

air-drying.This delicate warm air cycle, lasting 12 minutes, can

also be used to get woollens 'refreshed' after being stored in the

wardrobe.

This is a special timed program for a maximum load of 4kg (117

min). The default duration is 99 minutes and allows to dry up to 3kg.

With this program you can dry together cotton and synthetic

fabrics.

This is a special timed program for shirts of max load of 3kg (78

minutes). For synthetic shirts you have to press the Acrylic

Synthetic button. The default duration is 60 minutes and allows to

dry up to 2kg.

Time selection includes all the manual time programs: from 30

minutes to 180 minutes. The 20 minutes selection time in only cool

air ventilation (Refresh)

Memo Program allows to re-perform a program that the user has

saved before, without selecting the correct sequence of program

selector positions and option buttons for that particular program.

The programme provides a conditioning and anticrease function.

The dryer will heat the load for 9 minutes followed by a 3 minute cool

down period and is especially good for garments which may have

been left for some time prior to ironing, in a linen basket for

example. Garments may also become stiffened when dried outside

on a washing line or inside on radiators.

This programme relaxes the creases in the fabric making ironing

quicker and easier.

The Rapid 40' programme allows a drying cycle to be completed

quickly. This is an ideal programme for having dry, refreshed and

ready-to-wear clothes in less than 40'. This special programme

constantly monitors the temperature in the drum. The maximum load

is 2 kg and the programme is suitable for all types of fabrics where

tumble drying is appropriate.
