ENGLISH

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 filter regularly to avoid excessive drying

times and high electricity consumption.

• Ventilate the room well. The room temperature

should not exceed +35°C during drying.

Tips for environmental protection

• 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!

Installation

Positioning

It is recommended that, for your convenience, the

machine is positioned close to your washing

machine.

Whilst drying, the tumble dryer will expel a certain

amount of warm, very moist air, and this should be

removed from the room as quickly as possible to

prevent condensation. In an extremely well

ventilated room or close to an open window, this

may occur naturally.

However, in general, it is better to carry the dryer's

exhaust outside via the 100 mm diameter flexible

hose supplied with the appliance; ending either

temporarily at an open window, or permanently at a

fixed ventilation grille, fitted to an exterior wall or

window.

The tumble dryer must be installed in a clean place,

where dirt does not build up.

Make sure there are no obstructing items or material

near the air-intake louvres provided at

the back (e.g. paper, rags etc.).

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

When operating the tumble dryer, the room

temperature must not exceed 35°C, as it may affect

the performance of the appliance.

P0046

Fitting the vent hose

To simplify the installation, there is a choice of vent

outlets: one at the back, the others in the left and

right-hand side.

Connect the hose to whichever is the more

convenient by pulling the ring nut (A) from the vent

outlet at the back, screwing it on to the hose and

pushing it firmly back into place.

The unused vents should now be sealed with the

special snap covers provided.

Advice: If the hose is long and the room

temperature low, the moisture might condense to

water inside the hose. This is an unavoidable

natural phenomenon. To prevent this water from

Iying in the hose or flowing back into the tumble

dryer, it is advisable to drill a small hole (dia.

3 mm) in the lowest point of the hose and to place a

small container below it.(See picture, point B).

Once connected to the dryer, run the vent hose to

the desired outlet point, ensuring that the run’s

overall length is less than 2 m, and that it contains

no more than two bends. As to the outlet itself, if you

have decided on a fixed wall/window grille, a good

local builder’s merchant should be able to supply

you with the necessary fittings and installation

advice.

125994480.qxd 06/02/01 10.00 Pagina 7 (Nero/Process Black pellicola)

It is important not to connect the vent

hose to, for example, a cooker hood, or

a chimney or flue pipe designed to carry

the exhaust from a fuel burning

appliance.

Note that to avoid condensation problems, it is

essential that the dryer be fitted with the flexible hose

to carry its “exhaust” at least beyond the kitchen

units; preferable outside the kitchen.

In order to prevent the appliance from overheating, it

is important that the steam exhaust is unobstructed.

Therefore, in case of a permanent hose fitted to an

exterior wall or ceiling, it must be ensured an

exhaust capacity of at least 150 m3/h.

If the dryer is fitted next to kitchen units, make

sure that the vent hose is not squashed. If the

hose is partially squashed, drying efficiency will

be reduced, resulting in longer drying times and

higher energy consumption.

If the hose is completely squashed, the safety

cut-outs with which the machine is fitted may

operate.

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.

Operate as follows:

- Remove the door by unscrewing the two screws

(1) fastening the hinge to the cabinet (Fig. A).

- Remove the safety catch (2) and the plug (3) by

bending the two fastening tags (Fig. A).

- Refit the safety catch (2) and plug (3) on the door

by reversing their positions (Fig. B).

- Remove the plastic plate (4) by unscrewing the two

fastening screws (Fig. A).

P0055

- Refit the plastic plate (4) on the opposite side

(Fig. B).

- Refit the door by screwing in the two screws (1)

which fasten the door to the cabinet (Fig. B).

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.

Stacking kit

A special stacking kit is available through your

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

your washing machine.

1 Programme Chart

This will help you to select the correct time for drying.

2 Mains-On Light

This lights up when the machine starts operating and

goes out at the end of the programme.

3 Drying Time Selector Dial

The selector dial incorporates two drying cycles, one

of up to 150 minutes at a high temperature for

cotton and linen, and one of up to 100 minutes at a

low temperature for synthetic fabrics.

To set the machine to the selected time, turn the dial

clockwise until the time you want coincides exactly

with the pointer.

NEVER attempt to turn the dial in an anticlockwise

direction.

When selecting the drying time, you should

remember that it includes a 10 minute cooling phase

(position on the dial).

This phase should not be shortened, stopped or

avoided, 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).

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.
