Instruction manual

TUMBLE DRYER

English,1

Français,17

 This symbol reminds you to read this instruction

manual.

 Keep this manual at hand for immediate reference

whene er necessary. Always store this manual close to the

tumble dryer and remember to pass it on to any new owners

when selling or transferring the appliance, so they may

familiarise with the warnings and suggestions herein

contained.

 Read these instructions carefully: the following pages

contain important information on installation and useful

suggestions for operating the appliance.

Important information

To ensure that the condenser dryer functions

efficiently, the following routine maintenance

procedures must be carried out:

Fluff filter  CLEAN off any fluff build-up on the

filter after each drying cycle.

Step 1

Open the dryer door by pressing

it as shown in the picture.

Step 2

Pull out the filter (using two

fingers).

Step 3

Clean off any fluff build-up on the

internal surface of the filter net.

Step 4

Replace the filter  ne er operate

the dryer without the filter in

place.

Failure to clean the filter after each drying cycle

can undermine drying performance as the

machine takes longer to dry and thus consumes

more energy.

Water container  empty the water container after

each drying cycle.

Step 1

Pull the water container towards

you and remo e it completely

from the dryer.

Step 2

Empty all the water in the water

container.

Step 3

Replace the water container

making sure that it is securely

fixed.

Failure to empty the water container may cause

the following:

- The dryer stops heating (thus the load may still

be damp at the end of the drying cycle).

- The Empty water container LED lights up to

signal that the water container is full.

Filling of the Water Container

When the dryer is first used water will not

immediately enter the water container as the

pump needs to be primed. This is done

automatically and will take a few minutes, during

this period the efficiency of the drying process is

not affected.

Condenser unit - remove any fluff build-up

from the condenser on a monthly basis.

Step 1

Open the condenser co er

- grip the handle and pull

towards you.

Step 2

Remo e the condenser by

turning the 3 catches, then pull

the condenser towards you. (It is

normal for some residual water

to be left in the tubes).

Step 3

Clean the condenser with running

water o er the rear side to

remo e any fluff deposits.

Step 4

Replace the condenser unit;

make sure that the unit is

securely in place, that all 3

catches are fixed and that the

position arrows on the front end

of the condenser are pointing

upwards.

Failure to clean the condenser unit may cause

premature faults to the dryer.

Where to install the tumble dryer

 Install the dryer far from gas

ranges, sto es, radiators or

hobs, as flames may damage it.

If the dryer is installed below a

worktop, ensure there are 10

mm between the upper panel of

the dryer and any objects

abo e it, and 15 mm between

the sides of the machine and

the walls or furniture units

adjacent to it. This ensures

adequate air circulation.

Ventilation

 The room must be adequately entilated while the dryer is

running. Make sure that the dryer is installed in a room free of

humidity and with adequate air circulation. The flow of air

around the dryer is essential to allow water to condense

during drying; the dryer will not function properly if it is placed

in an enclosed space or inside a cabinet.

 Some condensation may form if the dryer is used in a small

or cold room.

 We do not recommend installing the dryer in a cupboard;

moreo er, ne er install the machine behind a lockable, sliding

or hinged door located on the opposite side of the dryer

door.

Water drainage

If your dryer is installed next to a drain the water can be

plumbed into this drain. This does away with the need to

empty the water container. If the dryer is stacked onto or

installed next to a washing machine it can share the same

drain. The height of the drain must be less than 3' (1 m)

from the bottom of the dryer.

Remo e existing hose from position shown in picture A

and fit a suitable length of hose and connect as shown

in picture B.

 Make sure that the hose is not squashed or kinked

when the dryer is in its final location.

15 mm

Electrical connections

Before plugging the appliance into the socket, check the

following:

 Make sure your hands are dry.

 The socket must ha e an earth connection.

 The socket must be able to withstand the machines

maximum power output as indicated on the data plate (see

Description of the tumble dryer).

 The power supply oltage must fall within the alues

indicated on the data plate (see Description of the tumble

dryer).

 The socket must be compatible with the machines plug. If

not, either the socket or the plug must be replaced.

 Do not use extension cords.

 The tumble dryer must not be installed in outdoor spaces,

e en if sheltered. It may be ery dangerous to expose this

appliance to rain and thunderstorms.

 Once dryer installation is complete, the electric cord and

plug must be at hand.

 The electric cord must not be bent or crushed.

 If the plug to be replaced is of the moulded-on type, it

must be disposed of in a safe way. DO NOT lea e it where it

can be plugged into a socket and cause electric shocks.{}

 The electric cord must be regularly checked and replaced

with a cord specifically designed for this dryer; it must then

be installed by an authorised technician only (see

Assistance). New or longer electric cords are supplied by

authorised dealers at a supplementary cost.

 The manufacturer declines all responsibility for failure

to observe these instructions.

 When in doubt about the above indications, contact a

qualified electrician.

Preliminary information

Once the tumble dryer is installed, clean the inside of the

drum before operating it and remo e any dirt accumulated

during transportation.

How to carry out

a drying cycle

Programme chart

Special/Sport/Partial Programmes

Eco Time Programme

This programme is ideal for safely drying small loads in a short time, thereby optimising energy consumption. Suitable for loads of

up to 2 kg, it lasts about 60 minutes. The programme may last longer depending on the size and density of the load and on the

spin speed used during the wash cycle

We recommend checking whether garments are labelled with the symbol and to turn them inside out before drying them.

Wool Programme

This programme is specific for items that withstand tumble drying and are labelled with the symbol. It is suitable for loads of up

to 1 kg (about 3 jerseys). We recommend turning the garments inside out before drying them. This programme lasts about 60

minutes, although it may last longer depending on the size and density of the load and on the spin speed used during the wash

cycle. Garments dried with this programme are usually ready to be worn, although the edges of hea ier garments may be slightly

damp. Lea e them to dry naturally, as an additional drying process may damage them.

 Unlike other materials, the shrinking process in wool is irre ersible, i.e. the garment does not resume its original dimension and

shape.

 This programme is not suited for acrylic items.

Sport Intensive Programme

This programme is designed for safely drying garments such as tracksuits and shorts bearing the symbol. It is ideal for clothes

which do not need to be dried fully. Suitable for loads of up to 4 kg, it lasts about 80 minutes, although it may last longer

depending on the size and density of the load and of the spin speed used during the wash cycle. We suggest turning garments

inside out before drying them.

Sport Light Programme

This programme is designed for safely drying garments such as tracksuits and shorts bearing the symbol. It is ideal for those

garments that do not need to be dried fully or which ha e to be ironed. Suitable for loads of up to 4 kg, it lasts about 70 minutes,

although it may last longer depending on the size and density of the load and of the spin speed used during the washing cycle. We

suggest turning garments inside out before drying them.

Sport Shoes Programme

This programme is specific for drying sports shoes of sizes 37-46. The shoes must ha e been pre iously washed and spun at a

minimum spin speed of 400 revolutions.

A specific shoe rack is pro ided and must be used, otherwise the dryer will be damaged if shoes are dried in the drum. Remo e the

filter from its holder on the front part of the dryer and position the shoe rack.

Place shoelaces inside the shoes then load with the tips of the shoes facing downwards and the soles frontwards.

Drying times ary according to the shape and type of the shoe. If the shoes are not completely dry at the end of the programme,

restart the programme.

 Do not dry shoes that ha e gel or flashing lights inside them. Only dry shoes made of synthetic material or rope. Once the

programme ends, remo e the shoe rack and replace the filter into its holder.

Refresh

A short programme suitable for refreshing fibres and garments through the emission of cool air. It lasts about 20 minutes.

 As this is not a drying programme, it is not to be used for garments that are still wet.

Timed drying cycle (30 - 60 - 90 - 120 - 150)

This programme can be used instead of the automatic programmes when you desire setting a time for the drying cycle. It is ideal

for drying damp laundry with the low heat setting or for small loads.

The duration of the timed drying cycle to be selected depends on the size of the load and on the fabric to be dried (see able).
