Environmental Issues

This appliance is marked according

to the European directive 2012/19/EU

on Waste Electrical and Electronic

Equipment (WEEE).

WEEE contains both polluting substances

(which can cause negative consequences for

the environment) and basic components (which

can be re-used). It is important to have WEEE

subjected to specific treatments, in order to

remove and dispose properly all pollutants, and

recover and recycle all materials.

Individuals can play an important role in

ensuring that WEEE does not become an

environmental issue; it is essential to follow

some basic rules:

- WEEE should not be treated as household

waste.

- WEEE should be handed over to the relevant

collection points managed by the municipality

or by registered companies. In many countries,

for large WEEE, home collection could be

present.

In many countries, when you buy a new

appliance, the old one may be returned to the

retailer who has to collect it free of charge on a

one-to-one basis, as long as the equipment is of

equivalent type and has the same functions as

the supplied equipment.

European Directive 2012/19/EU

VENTILATION

It is essential to use a venting hose to carry the hot moist air away from the dryer unless the dryer is

situated in a open space with a good air flowaround it. Recirculation of the moist air will prevent the

efficient operation of the dryer.

The hose is assembled to the machine as shown. The hose may be fitted through a wall or through

an open door or window. The hose is 110mm in diameter and will extend 1.8 meters.

The following guidelines should be followed when installing the

discharge hose.

● Do not use two hoses joined together as the drying performance will

be reduced.

● Do not restrict the flow of air through the hose e.g. by kinking it or fitting

a smaller diameter connector to mount to a wall opening.

● Avoid the hose making U shaped curves as this will restrict the flow of

air and increase the chance that water will collect in the hose.

● Check the hose regularly to remove any build-up of fluff or water that

may have collected in it.

The following diagrams give examples of good and bad installations.

PREPARING THE LOAD

Before using the tumble dryer for the first time:

● Please read this instruction book thoroughly.

● Remove all items packed inside drum.

● Wipe the inside of the drum and door with a damp cloth to remove any dust which may have

settled in transit.

Make sure that the laundry you are going to dry is suitable for drying in a tumble dryer, as shown by

the care symbols on each item.

Check that all fastenings are closed and that pockets are empty. Turn the articles inside out. Place

clothes loosely in the drum to make sure that they don't get tangled.

PREPARING THE LOAD

● Cottons Max .9 kg

● Synthetics Max. 4 kg

Sort the Load as Follows

Maximum Drying Weight

. .

Do not overload the drum, large items

when wet can exceed the maximum admissible

clothes load (for example: sleeping bags,

duvets).

● By care symbols

These can be found on the collar or inside

seam:

Suitable for tumble drying.

Tumble drying at high temperature.

Tumble drying at low temperature only.

Do not tumble dry.

If the item does not have a care label it must be

assumed that it is not suitable for tumble

drying.

● By amount and thickness

Whenever the load is bigger than the dryer

capacity, separate clothes according to

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

● By type of fabric

Cottons/linen: Towels, cotton jersey, bed and

table linen.

Synthetics: Blouses, shirts, overalls, etc.

made of polyester or polyamid, as well as for

cotton/synthetic mixes.

● By drying level

trimmings, training shoes, bulky items such as

sleeping bags, etc.

Do Not Tumble Dry:

IMPORTANT: Do not dry articles which

have been treated with a dry cleaning fluid or

rubber clothes (danger of fire or explosion).

During the last 15 minutes the load is always

tumbled in cool air.

Only put into the tumble dryer laundry which

has been thoroughly wrung or spin-dried. The

drier the laundry the shorter the drying time thus

saving electricity.

ALWAYS

● Try to dry the maximum weight of laundry, this

will save time and electricity.

● Check that the filter is clean before every

drying cycle.

NEVER

● Exceed the maximum weight, this will waste

time and electricity.

● Put dripping wet items into the tumble dryer,

this may damage the appliance.

Energy Saving

The Sensor Dry machine gives many options

for drying the laundry to suit all circumstances.

The table on the next page lists the program-

mes 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.

Set the programme between 30 and 75 minutes

depending on the load size and dryness

required, and select high or low heat depending

upon the fabric type.

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.
