WARNINGS

It is most important that this instruction book

should be retained with the appliance for future

reference. Should the appliance be sold or trans-

ferred to another owner, or should you move

house and leave the appliance, always ensure

that the book is supplied with the appliance in

order that the new owner can get to know the

functioning of the appliance and the relevant

warnings.

These warnings have been provided in the inter-

est of safety. You MUST read them carefully

before installing or using the appliance.

INSTALLATION

■Any electrical work required to install this appli-

ance should be carried out by a qualified electri-

cian or competent person.

■Make sure that the appliance does not stand on its

electrical supply cable.

■If the machine is situated on a carpeted floor,

please adjust the feet in order to allow air to

circulate freely.

USE

■Always unplug the appliance after use.

■Clothes which are dripping wet should not be

placed in the dryer.

Always load well spun laundry. The higher the

spin speed, the lower the electricity consumption

and the shorter the drying times.

■Never tumble dry items that have been in contact

with chemicals such as dry cleaning fluid. These

are of a volatile nature and could cause an explo-

sion.

■As some bulky items such as duvets and eider-

downs 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.

■Always check that no cigarette lighters have been

left in pockets.

■Leave the door slightly ajar when not in use to pre-

serve the door seal.

■The fluff filter must be cleaned after every use.

■Do not operate the appliance with a damaged filter

or with no filter at all, as this may cause a fire.

■Do not overload the appliance.

■ Do not allow fluff to accumulate around the dryer.

SERVICE/REPAIR

■Under no circumstances should you attempt to

repair the machine yourself. Repairs carried out by

inexperienced persons may cause injury or seri-

ous malfunctioning. Refer to your local Zanussi

Service Centre. Always insist on genuine Zanussi

spare parts.

GENERAL SAFETY

■It is dangerous to modify or try to modify the speci-

fications of this appliance in any way.

■This appliance is designed to be used by adults.

Children should not be allowed to touch the con-

trols or play with the product.

■Pets and small children may climb into tumble dry-

ers. Check your appliance each time before use.

ENVIRONMENT PROTECTION

■The materials used on this appliance marked with

the symbol are recyclable.

This means that they can be recycled by disposing

of them properly in appropriate collection contain-

ers.

■If you take your appliance to a refuse disposal

site, cut off the power cable flush with the appli-

ance to avoid the danger of the appliance being

re-used, and disable the door catch to prevent

children becoming trapped inside.

Positioning

The appliance may be placed on any type of flat floor.

It must be perfectly level (use a spirit level if neces-

sary). Adjust the feet to compensate for any uneven-

ness in the floor.

To ensure correct operation, the surrounding area

must be kept clean, free of dust and fluff.

Air must be able to circulate freely all round the appli-

ance. Do not obstruct the front ventilation grille or the

air intake grilles in the back of the machine.

Do not remove the feet.

Do not reduce the clearance between the appliance

and the floor by placing it on deep pile carpet or rugs,

as this could lead to a build-up of heat which would

adversely affect operation of the machine.

Important:

The hot air emitted by the tumble dryer can reach

temperatures of up to 60°C. The appliance must

therefore not be installed on floors which are not resis-

tant to high temperatures.

The ambient temperature must not exceed 35°C, even

when the appliance is working. If it does, open the

door or window.

Door Reversal Instructions

Electrical Connections

WARNING: THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED.

The manufacturer declines any liability should this

safety measure not be observed.

If the plug that is fitted to your appliance is not suitable

for your socket outlet, it must be cut off, and the

appropriate plug fitted.

Remove the fuse from the cut off plug. The cut off plug

should then be disposed of to prevent the hazard of

electric shocks, in case it should be plugged into a 13

Amp socket in another part of your home.

IMPORTANT

The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accor-

dance with the following code:

Green and Yellow - Earth

Blue - Neutral

Brown - Live

If you fit your own plug, the colours of the wires in the

mains lead of your appliance may not correspond with

the markings identifying the terminals in your plug.

To fit the plug, proceed as follows:

Connect the green and yellow (earth) wire to the termi-

nal in the plug which is marked with the letter «E» or

the earth symbol , or coloured green and yellow.

Connect the blue (neutral) wire to the terminal in the

plug which is marked with the letter «N» or coloured

black.

Connect the brown (live) wire to the terminal in the

plug which is marked with the letter «L» or coloured

red.

The plug moulded on to the lead incorporates a fuse.

For replacement, use a 13 Amp BS1362 fuse. Only

ASTA or BSI approved fuses should be used.

The plug must not be used if the fuse cover/carrier is

lost. The cover/carrier is indicated by the coloured

insert at the base of the plug.

A replacement cover/carrier must be obtained from

your local ZANUSSI Service Centre whose address is

listed in the Customer Care Booklet which accompa-

nies your instruction manual.

GETTING TO KNOW YOUR MACHINE

1 Programme chart

2 Water Full Indicator Light (red)

This light illuminates when the reservoir is full or

improperly fitted.

The programme will be interrupted.

3 Door Open Button

Depress this button to open the door.

The door of the machine can be opened at any time

during the programme if you want to feel the dryness

of the fabrics.

4 Mains On Light (green)

The pilot light indicates operating status.

5 On/OffDial - Time Selector Dial

Turn the dial clockwise (to the right) to select the time

for drying (see Chart page 9). At the same time the

machine is switched on and the programme starts.

This dryer has two drying cycles of up to 120 and 80

minutes, giving a high or low heat temperature accord-

ing to the fabric type.

When selecting the drying time you should remember

that it includes a 12 minute cooling phase (position

on the dial).

This phase should not be shortened, stopped or avoid-

ed, as this could cause skin burns or damages to the

laundry.

Additional drying

If, at the end of the programme, the laundry is still too

damp, set the dial for a further period of drying

(remembering to take into account the cooling period).

(1) Never overfill the drum (do not load large quilts, for example).

The laundry must be suitably spin dried in your washing machine before being placed in the tumble dryer (500rpm

minimum).

Drying times vary according to:

- The type of laundry

- The size of the load

- The degree of spinning prior to drying

Drying times are given as a guide only. Experience will soon enable you to estimate the drying time needed for your

usual laundry loads.

Do not start by selecting a long drying time. It is better to determine the required degree of dryness by gradually

increasing the drying time.

For a mixed load (cotton and resistant synthetics, for example) select the time for the most delicate fibres and

increase it by 10 mins.

DRYING TIMES

10

Drying

1. Load the laundry Open the door by press-

ing button .

Load the items one at a

time, shaking them out

loosely and close the

door.

Check the laundry does

not get caught between

the door and filter.

2. Select the drying time Turn the selector dial

clockwise to the required

minute setting (in the

high or low temperature

range, according to the

fabric).

The mains-on light will il-

luminate and the dryer

will start to work.

3. When drying is completed

The machine stops automatically and the mains-on

light goes out.

If the laundry is still too damp, select a further brief

drying time, bearing in mind that during the last 12 mi-

nutes the dryer carries out the cooling and anticrease

treatment phase.

Remove the clothes from the machine.

Clean the filter after every drying programme. A

clean filter ensures correct functioning of the

appliance.

Useful hints

■Try to load to the maximum capacity of the

machine as small loads are uneconomical.

For information, here is a list of the average

weights of some common laundry items.

Sheet 700 - 1000 g

Tablecloth 400 - 500 g

Kitchen towel 70 - 120 g

Table napkin 50 - 100 g

Hand towel 150 - 250 g

Bathrobe 1000 - 1500 g

Man’s shirt 200 - 300 g

Pillowcase 100 - 200 g

Man’s pyjamas 400 - 500 g

Ladies’ nightdress 200 - 250 g

■Never tumble dry the following:

Particularly delicate items such as net curtains,

woollen, silk, fabrics with metal trim, nylon tights,

bulky materials such as anoraks, blankets, eider-

downs, sleeping bags, feather quilts and any items

containing rubber foam or materials similar to rub-

ber foam.

■Always follow the instructions on garment labels.

Tumble dry normal (high temperature)

Tumble dry delicate (low temperature)

Do not tumble dry

■Close pillowcases and covers with fasteners to

prevent small laundry items getting tangled inside

them. Close press studs, zips and hooks and tie

belts and apron strings.

■Sort laundry according to type and degree of dry-

ing required.

■Do not over-dry laundry, this avoids creasing and

saves energy.

■Avoid drying dark clothes with light coloured fluffy

items such as towels as they could attract the fluff.

■ Remove the laundry when the dryer has finished

drying.

■ To avoid a static charge when drying is completed,

use either a fabric softener when you are washing

the laundry or a fabric conditioner specifically for

tumble dryers.

Laundry Shrinkage

Certain fabrics such as woollens and silks are gener-

ally not suitable for tumble drying. Due to the struc-

ture of some woollen garments which are recom-

mended for tumble drying, shrinking could still occur,

but once the garment is worn again, it should regain

its shape.

Starched Laundry

Starched laundry can also be dried in the tumble

dryer. Make sure that the time selected is for iron dry.

After completion of the programme wipe out the drum

with a damp cloth and dry to remove any traces of

starch.
