Your New Tumble Dryer

This tumble dryer will give your wash that soft, relaxed feel whatever the weather.

Extremely high quality standards both during development and manufacturing guarantee a long service life for your appliance.

Maximum economy in the operation of your dryer is achieved through very economical electricity consumption and short drying times.

Energy saving tips

To save energy 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.
• 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.

In the interest of the environment

• Materials marked with the symbol 🌐 are recyclable.
• Check with your local Council or Environmental Health Office to see if there are facilities in your area for re-cycling this appliance.
• 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.
• Help to keep your country tidy - use authorised disposal sites for your old appliance.

How do we help to protect the environment? We use recycled paper!

The Control Panel

I Programme/Time Selector Dial

Allows you to select electronically controlled or time controlled drying.

Turn the dial to the required programme or time.

The selector dial can be turned either clockwise or counterclockwise.

Electronically controlled drying (automatic)

The appliance runs these programmes with the help of probes which detect the degree of dampness of the laundry.

Simply select the programme according to the type of laundry and degree of drying required.

Time controlled drying

This can be used to finish off drying if necessary. Select the 60 minute programme for cottons or the 30 minute programme for synthetics.

To cancel a programme which is running, turn the programme selector dial to "RESET/OFF".

At the end of drying, turn the selector dial to "RESET/OFF" to switch the machine off before removing the laundry.

The selector dial is divided into 4 sections:

●Cotton (blue section)
●Synthetics (green section)
●Time controlled drying (grey section)
●Memory 1, Memory 2 (green section)

2 Display

The DISPLAY is used for setting a large number of functions and combine them with each other using only a few control elements (1 programme selector dial and 6 buttons). This simple control method is made easy thanks to the interactive display. Interactive means that the dryer display changes to reflect each step you have entered. This ensures that only those settings that make sense are made. You are able to see the current settings at any time in the information panel and in the option row.

i Hints & Tips on Drying

Before placing articles of laundry in your tumble dryer, check the care labels to ensure they are recommended for tumble drying.

Care Labels you may find on your laundry

☐ may be tumble dried
normal drying (high temperature)
delicate drying (low temperature)
do not tumble dry

Do not overload the appliance.

Here is a list of the approximate weight of some common laundry items.

Sheet 700 to 1000 g

Pillowcase 100 to 200 g

Tablecloth 400 to 500 g

Table Napkin 50 to 100 g

Kitchen Towel 70 to 120 g

Linen Hand Towel 100 to 150 g

Hand Towel 150 to 250 g

Bath Towel 700 to 1000 g

Bathrobe 1000 to 1500 g

Shirt 200 to 300 g

Apron 150 to 200 g

• Always load well spun laundry. The higher the spin speed the lower the electricity consumption and the shorter the drying time.
- DO NOT load dripping wet laundry into the dryer. Roll the article in a towel or spin to remove excess water.
- Close poppers and zips and fasten any buttons.
- Sort the laundry. Separate synthetics from cotton/linens, and dry separately.
- Remove the laundry immediately after the programme has finished.
- Use a fabric conditioning sheet to reduce static. We recommend the sheet is pinned to an article of laundry (using a safety pin).
- Mix the load i.e. large and small articles.
- When drying large items such as sheets, we recommend you periodically stop the dryer to redistribute the load.

DO NOT use the tumble dryer to dry the following:

• Articles contaminated with inflammable substances e.g. petrol, cleaning solvents, cooking oil, fats or hair lacquer.
• Woollen and synthetic/wool mixtures unless the item is labelled as suitable for tumble drying.
  • Very delicate articles such as silk.
• Very large and bulky items such as duvets or sleeping bags.

Maintenance and Cleaning

You must disconnect the appliance from the electricity supply, before you can carry out any cleaning or maintenance work.

External cleaning

Use water with a little mild washing-up liquid added rinse and then dry thoroughly.

Important: do not use methylated spirit, diluents or similar products.

Cleaning the door

Clean periodically the interior part of the door to remove any fluff from the seals around the filter. Regular cleaning ensures correct drying.

Diagram of a washing machine with open door and fan (no text or symbols)

Cleaning the filters

Your dryer will only function well if the filters are clean.

The filters collect all the fluff which accumulates during drying and they must therefore be cleaned at the end of each programme, before removing the laundry, with a damp cloth. The «Please clean filters» message appears on the display to remind you to carry out this operation.

Illustration of a hand opening a washing machine with a circular vent and fan (no text or symbols)

Line drawing of a washing machine with a hand operating the door (no text or symbols)

The filter in the inner door must be removed for cleaning.

Do not be alarmed by the amount of fluff. It is not due to excessive wear caused by the dryer. All fabric looses fluff when drying but it goes un-noticed in the air. In a tumble dryer it simply collects in the filter.

After a while, a whitish patina due to detergent residue on laundry forms on the filters. When this occurs, clean the filters with warm water using a brush. Remove the filter in the door opening as per picture (it can be positioned with the tooth facing to the left or to the right).

Line drawing of a washing machine with a door open, showing internal components (no text or symbols)

Do not use the appliance without filters.

Cleaning the condenser unit

Clean the air condenser when the «Please clean condenser» message appears on the display. The condenser is situated at the lower part of the cabinet behind a small door. To open the door, push the catch as per picture.

Illustration of a hand writing on a grid paper with a blank screen (no text or symbols)

During the drying cycle or at the end, it is normal for water to be present on the surface of the condenser.

To pull out the condenser, first turn the two red stops downwards as shown below and then remove the condenser unit holding it at the handle.

Clean it with a brush and rinse it under the shower if necessary.

Illustration of a hand using a tool to clean or wash a small container (no text or symbols visible)

Also clean the outside, removing all fluff.

Clean the rubber seal round the condenser cabinet and in the inner part of the small door with a damp cloth.

Important! Do not use pointed objects or utensils to clean the spaces between the plates, as this could damage the condenser and make it permeable.

Re-fit the condenser, turn the red stops upwards and close the door.

Do not use this appliance if the condenser has not been fitted.

Emptying the water reservoir

Water extracted from the laundry condenses inside the machine and is collected in a reservoir.

The reservoir must be emptied after each drying cycle to ensure efficient operation when the machine is next used.

The message «The tank is full, please empty» written on the display reminds you to do this.

Proceed as follows:

• Pull out the reservoir
• Turn it upside down and let water flow down
  • Re-fit the reservoir

The reservoir must be re-inserted correctly.

If this is not done the same message comes on during next drying and the programme stops, leaving the laundry damp. The buzzer will sound.

After inserting the reservoir the START/PAUSE button has to be pressed again to allow the programme to continue.

Handy tip: The condensed water may be used in a steam iron or to top up a battery, etc. In this case it must be filtered (e.g. through a coffee filter).

Cleaning the drum

When your laundry does not reach the desired degree of dryness, in other words, when it turns out either too dry or too damp, we advise you to clean the inside of the drum with a cloth soaked with vinegar.

This will eliminate the slight patina that has formed in the drum (due to residues of detergent and softeners used in the washing, and to the lime contained in the water), which prevents the probes from detecting the correct degree of dryness.

Something Not Working

Certain problems are due to lack of simple maintenance or oversights, which can be solved easily without calling out an engineer. Before contacting your local Service Centre, please carry out the checks listed below.

During machine operation it is possible that one of the following messages appears on the display:

Problem with filters/condenser .....«Please clean filters/condenser» Please check filters/condenser.

Problem with water reservoir .....«The tank is full, please empty» Please check the water reservoir.

Door open ....«Can't lock door» Please check the door.

Once the problem has been eliminated, press the START/PAUSE button to restart the programme.

IMPORTANT: if the «Warning» message and an alarm code (e.g. E21) appear on the display and the buzzer sounds, switch the machine off and call the Service Centre.

• 89/336 EEC of 3.5.89 (Electromagnetic Compatibility Directive) and subsequent modifications.

Adjusting the Level of Conductivity

Water contains, a variable quantity of limestone and mineral salts of which quantities vary according to geographical locations thus varying its conductivity values.

Relevant variations of the conductivity of the water compared to those prefixed by the factory could slightly influence the residual humidity of the laundry at the end of the cycle.

Your dryer allows you to regulate the sensitivity of the drying sensor based on conductivity values of the water by using the following procedure.

Procedure:

Turn the programme selector dial to switch on the appliance.

In selection mode press the «Option» button until the Set Up menu appears on the display.

Press «Change» button to enter in the Set Up menu and then press the «Option» button sequentially until the message «Water hardness» appears.

Adjusting the level of conductivity:

Pressing «Change» button you can choose the required water hardness degree. The level of water hardness is indicated by 3 degree shown on the display: hard, normal and soft.

Display Conductivity degree		Approximative value "dH"
SOFT	Low < 14
NORMAL	Medium 15 - 2
HARD	High > 21

Memorising the new setting:

To fix your choice press the «Exit» button. The previous selected drying cycle and options appears again on the display and the buzzer sounds.

Normally, the appliance is factory-set to the highest level; however, certain models may be configured differently.

Unpacking

Warning!

⚠️ Slide out the polythene bag containing the polystyrene block before using the appliance. Pull off adhesive strips from inside machine on top of drum.

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 grill or the air intake grills 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.

Stacking kit (optional accessory)

It should be possible to stack your new dryer on top of a front loading washing machine with a lid depth of between 48 and 60 cm.

Read carefully the instructions supplied with the kit. Please contact your local Service Force Centre or retailer for further advice.

WARNING: THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED.

The manufacturer declines any liability should this safety measure not be observed. Should the appliance power supply cable need to be replaced, this must be carried out by our Service Centre.

Before switching on, make sure the electricity supply voltage is the same as that indicated on the appliance's rating plate. (See picture on page 4).

The appliance is supplied with a 13amp plug fitted. In the event of having to change the fuse in the plug supplied, a 13amp ASTA approved BS 1363/A fuse must be used.

Should the plug need to be replaced for any reason, proceed as described below. The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code:

Green and Yellow - Earth

Blue - Neutral

Brown - Live

The wire coloured green and yellow must be connected to the terminal marked with the letter «E» or by the earth symbol ♡ coloured green and yellow.

The wire coloured blue must be connected to the terminal «N» or coloured black.

The wire coloured brown must be connected to the terminal marked «L» or coloured red.

Upon completion there must be no cut, or stray strands of wire present and the cord clamp must be secure over the outer sheath.

WARNING:
