YOUR NEW TUMBLE DRYER

With your new tumble dryer you will have soft dry

laundry with any weather conditions.

It is fitted with a condensing device that

condenses the moist air drawn from the laundry

which is then collected in a water container. The

water container can be discharged directly by

means of a suitable drain hose.

The appliance has been developed meeting all

top quality requirements in order to guarantee its

long life.

Low energy consumption and short drying time

make the operation of your tumble dryer

extremely economical.

Ecological hints

In order to obtain energy savings, it is advisable

to follow these instructions:

■Whenever possible, dry the maximum load for

the selected programme, as described in the

programme tables. Small loads are

uneconomical.

■The laundry should be well spun before being

loaded into the dryer. The higher the spin

speed, the shorter the drying time and

therefore the lower the energy consumption.

■Avoid overdrying the laundry by selecting the

suitable time according to the degree of

dryness required. Overdried laundry is not

easily ironed.

■To take advantage of the maximum load

capacity, laundry that has to be store dried

can be dried with laundry that has to be iron

Environment protection

■Packaging recycling

Materials marked with the symbol are

recyclable. To enable them to be recycled, they

must be placed in the appropriate collection

areas (or containers). Check with your local

Council or Environmental Health Office.

>PE<= polyethylene

>PS<= polystyrene

>PP<= polypropylene

■Tumble dryer scrapping

When the appliance is to be scrapped, cut off

the power supply cable and make the door

closing device unusable to prevent young

children from being trapped inside.

Use authorised disposal sites for your old

appliance.

The symbols you will see on some paragraphs of this booklet have the following meaning:

Important information concerning the

safety in the use of your machine.

Disregarding this information might

lead to damages.

Information for correct use of your

machine and to obtain the best

performance.

dried. Select the iron dry programme; when

this is over, remove the laundry to be ironed

and dry the remaining items.

■If the filter and the condenser are regularly

cleaned, short drying time and low energy

consumption are guaranteed.

■The room should be well ventilated. The

room temperature must not exceed +35°C

during drying.

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 exceed 35°C, as it may

affect the performance of the appliance.

The tumble dryer must be installed in a clean

place, where dirt does not build up.

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.

INSTALLATION

Stacking kit

It is possible to mount the dryer on top of all

washing machines having a worktop 60 cm wide

Store dry

The laundry must be suitably spun in your washing machine before being placed in the tumble dryer

(800 rpm minimum). If the washing machine spins at a lower speed than 800 rpm, it is advisable to

buy a spin-dryer.

Drying times are given as a guide only and vary according to the size of the load, the type of laundry,

the degree of spinning prior to drying.

Start by selecting a short drying time. If necessary, perform an additional drying cycle afterwards.

Experience will soon enable you to estimate the drying time needed for your usual laundry loads. It is

advisable to take note of them.

Size of load

It is not necessary to weigh the laundry, if these instructions are followed:

■Cottons, linen: full drum, but not overloaded.

■Synthetics: half drum.

■Particularly delicate fabrics: do not fill the drum more than 1/3.

For a mixed load (cotton and synthetics, for example) select the drying time suitable for the most

delicate fabrics and then increase it by approx 10 mins.

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

■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.

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 20

minutes. This will be necessary particularly for

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

Drying sequence

Before starting up for the first time it is advisable

lo load a few moist cloths into the dryer and to let

it run for about 20 minutes. This ensures that no

dust and dirt is left in the drum.

Operation

1. Connect the appliance.

2. Load the laundry.

3. Close the door.

4. Select the desired drying time (in high or low

temperature section, depending on the

laundry).

5. In case, press button .

6. Press button : the programme starts.

If the position on the dial is reached, the

heating is automatically cut off and the laundry is

cooled.

After around 10 minutes, the programme is over.

Important: It is not advisable to open the door

during operation to check the degree of dryness.

As the laundry is warm, when touched it gives

the impression of still being damp, even if it is

dry. Open the door after the programme has

finished.

If the programme has to be interrupted, it is

advisable to perform the cooling phase to

prevent the heat from building up inside the

machine.

After drying

■Switch off the appliance.

■Clean the filter and empty water container

(see pages 11 and 12).
