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.

• This tumble dryer is designed to be vented through

to the open air. It should have its own ventilation

system which should not be joined with any other

ventilation system connected to any other

appliance.

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 Zanussi Service

Centre. Always insist on genuine Zanussi 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.

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 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.

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

Warning!

Unpacking

Slide out the polythene bag with the

polystyrene stuffing before using the appliance.

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.

P0046

P1106

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.

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).

P1056 B

P1027

P1028

125994492.qxp 2004-08-11 12:56 Page 7

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.

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.

P0055

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.

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 Zanussi Service Centre.
