Important safety information

Installation

• Any electrical work required to install this appliance

should be carried out by a qualified electrician or

competent person.

• Care must be taken to ensure that the appliance

does not stand on the 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

• This appliance is designed for domestic use only. If

the machine is used for any other purposes or is

not used correctly, the manufacturer accepts no

responsibility for any damage that might occur.

• Always unplug the appliance after use.

• Clothes which are dripping wet should not be

placed in the dryer.

•Danger of explosion: Never tumble dry items that

have been in contact with inflammable solvents

(petrol, methylated spirits, dry cleaning fluid and

the like). As these substances are volatile, they

could cause an explosion. Tumble dry only items

washed with water.

• Please make sure that no gas lighters have

accidentally been left in pockets of garments to be

loaded into appliance.

• Do not dry canvas shoes or sports shoes, as they

could get stuck between the door and the drum,

thus blocking this latter.

• Leave the door slightly ajar when the appliance is

not being used. This will allow the seal to be

preserved.

• Clean fluff filters after using the tumble dryer. To

prevent fire risks, do not use the appliance if the

fluff filters are damaged or without filters.

• Do not allow fluff to accumulate around the dryer.

General safety

• It is dangerous to alter the specifications or attempt

to modify this product in any way.

• Under no circumstances should you attempt to

repair the machine yourself. Repairs carried out by

inexperienced persons may cause injury or serious

malfunctioning. Contact your local Service Centre.

Always insist on genuine spare parts.

Child safety

• Children are often not aware of how dangerous

electrical appliances can be. When the machine is

working, children should be carefully supervised

and not be allowed to play with the appliance.

• The packaging components (e.g. plastic film,

polystyrene) can be dangerous to children - danger

of suffocation! Keep them out of children’s reach.

• Make sure that children or pets do not climb into

the drum.

• When the appliance is to be scrapped, cut off the

electrical supply cable and destroy the plug with

the remaining cable. Disable the door catch in

order to prevent children from becoming trapped

inside while playing.

These warnings have been provided in the interest of safety. You MUST read them carefully before installing or

using the appliance.

• Packaging materials

The materials marked with the symbol are

recyclable.

This means that they can be recycled by disposing of

them properly in appropriate collection containers.

• Machine

Use authorised disposal sites for your old appliance.

Help to keep your country tidy!

To save energy and to help protect the environment,

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.

Select the drying programme according to the type

of laundry and the required degree of dryness.

• To utilize the maximum load, laundry which is to be

dried ready to put away (store dry) can be dried

together with items to be ironed. To do this, select

the programme for iron-dry, remove the iron-dry

items at the end of the programme and then finish-

dry the rest of the load.

• 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.

Installation

Warning!

Unpacking

Slide out the polythene bag with the

polystyrene stuffing before using the appliance.

Should the appliance be moved, it must be

transported vertically.

Positioning

It is recommended that, for your convenience, the

machine is positioned close to your washing

machine.

The tumble dryer must be installed in a clean place,

where dirt does not build up.

Air must be able to circulate freely all round the

appliance. Do not obstruct the front ventilation grille

or the air intake grilles at the back of the machine.

To keep vibration and noise to a minimum when the

dryer is in use, it should be placed on a firm, level

surface.

Once in its permanent operating position, check that

the dryer is absolutely level with the aid of a spirit

level. If it is not, raise or lower the feet until it is.

The feet must never be removed.

Do not restrict the floor clearance through deep-

pile carpets, strips of wood or similar. This might

cause heat build-up which would interfere with

the operation of the appliance.

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

resistant to high temperatures.

When operating the tumble dryer, the room

temperature must not be lower than +5°C and higher

than +35°C, as it may affect the performance of the

appliance.

P1106

Electrical connection

This machine is designed to operate on a 220-230 V,

single-phase, 50 Hz supply.

Check that your domestic electrical installation can

take the maximum load required (2.2 kW), also

taking into account any other appliances in use.

Connect the machine to an earthed socket, in

accordance with current wiring regulations.

The manufacturer declines any

responsibility for damage or injury

through failure to comply with the

above safety precaution.

Should the appliance power supply

cable need to be replaced, this must

be carried out by our Service

Centre.

Important!

The power supply cable must be accessible after

installing the machine.

Stacking kit

A special stacking kit is available through your

dealer, to enable the mounting of the dryer on top of

a front loading washing machine with cover’s depth

between 48 und 60 cm.

Read carefully the instructions supplied with the kit

before installing the dryer.

Door reversal

To make it easier to load or unload the laundry the

door can be reversed.

This operation must be carried out by qualified

personnel.

Please contact the nearest Service Centre.

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

Towelling 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,

eiderdowns, sleeping bags, feather quilts and any

items containing rubber foam or materials similar

to rubber foam.

• Always follow the instructions on garment labels:

may be tumble dried

normal drying (high temperature)

delicate drying (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

drying 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.

• The laundry must be thoroughly spun before

tumble drying.

•Easy-care items, too, e.g. shirts, should be briefly

pre-spun before drying (depending on crease

resistance approx. 30 seconds or using the special

brief spin programme of your washing machine).

• Knitted textiles (knitted underwear) may shrink a

little during drying. Please do not overdry items of

this type. It is advisable to allow for shrinkage

when choosing the size of new purchases.

• You can also put starched items into your dryer.

However, to achieve the desired starched effect,

choose the programme “iron dry”. To remove any

starch residues, wipe out the internal drum after

drying with a moist cloth and then rub it dry.

• 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.

• Remove the laundry when the dryer has finished

drying.

• If individual items are still damp after drying, set a

brief post-drying time, but at least 30 minutes.

This will be necessary particularly for multilayered

items (e.g. collars, pockets, etc.).
