Sort laundry by:

Material thickness: Whenever there is greater load than the dryer can handle, separate laundry according to weight (e.g. dry towels and thin underwear separately).

Type of material: Cotton (linen); synthetic textiles (easy care).

Degree of drying: Cupboard dry, iron dry etc.

Do not tumble dry: Woolens, silk, nylon stockings, delicate embroidery, fabrics with metallic decorations, bulky items such as sleeping bags or pillows.

Check that all fastenings are closed and that pockets are empty. Ensure that there are no cigarette lighters in the wash. Turn laundry inside out.

Place laundry loosely in the drum to achieve equal drying throughout. Then close the door.

Select the drying programme required by turning the programme selector knob (for information, refer to programme table).

Select a time programme for drying small loads.

Select the option required by pressing the corresponding button.

The indicator lamp above the relevant button lights up to confirm your selection. A fast blinking lamp indicates that a wrong selection is made (incompatible option). Press the button again to cancel the option.

The drying programme in started by pressing the "Start" button. The relevant indicator lamp lights up. A fast blinking "Start"-lamp indicates that the door is not well closed or the heat-exchanger is not well inserted.

Changing programme selection: If the programme selected is changed during drying, the dryer stops. The "Start" indicator lamp flashes.

To operate the new programme, press the "Start" button again.

Warning: Never stop a tumble dryer before the end of the drying cycle, unless all items are quickly removed and spread out so that the heat is dissipated.

The final part of a drying cycle occurs without heat (cool-down cycle) to ensure that the items reach a lower temperature to avoid wrinkling.

Anti-Crease: If the laundry is not removed at the end of the drying cycle, an automatic anti-crease cycle will operate for maximum 15 min. The drum rotates to prevent the laundry from creasing.

End: Take the laundry out of the dryer. The drying process is complete and the anti-crease phase has been reached (active).

Set the programme selector knob to "Off" ("O").

Cleaning the lint filter: Open door, pull lint filter up and out of machine and open it. Brush lint using a soft brush or your fingertips. Close lint filter and push firmly back into place (more detailed informations are given in the Instructions For Use). Emptying the water container: Pull container out by the handle and empty. Replace the container when empty by pushing it completely back into place.

Empty the water container after each drying process, because a full water container will stop the drying process before the laundry is dry.

Please note: Only use additives/plastic items specified as dryer safe and rinse items that have been treated with stain remover thoroughly in plenty of water before drying. Never dry rubber objects or objects stained with vegetable oils in the dryer.

The Manufacturer is not liable for any damage to laundry resulting from inadequate or incorrect fabric care instructions which have been provided with the garment or article.

Interrupting and restarting of the drying process prolongs the drying time significantly and can lead to overdrying.

2. Electrical Connections

• Electrical connections must be carried out by a qualified technician in compliance with the manufacturer's instructions and current standard safety regulations.
• Electrical connections must comply with local Electricity Board regulations.
• Data regarding voltage, power consumption and the required fuse protection is shown on the rating plate mounted at the rear of the dryer.
  • The dryer must be earthed as prescribed by law.
• Before carrying out any maintenance on the dryer disconnect it from the mains supply.
• Mains cable replacement must only be carried out by the After-Sales Service.
• After installation, access to the mains plug or to an all-pole disconnection switch must be ensured at all times.
• Light bulb replacement must only be carried out by the After-Sales Service.

3. Installation

• Do not install your dryer where it may be exposed to extreme conditions, such as: poor ventilation, temperature below 5°C or above 35°C.

• The appliance must not be installed behind a lockable door, a sliding door or a door with hinges on the opposite side to that of the tumble dryer, in such a way as to prevent the tumble dryer door from being fully opened.

• Small indoor located storage rooms, bathrooms, toilets, shower rooms and enclosed areas without ventilation are not suitable locations for installation of the dryer. If it must be installed in such a location, adequate ventilation must be ensured (open doors, ventilation grid or slot larger than 500 cm ^2 ).

PRECAUTIONS AND GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS

To minimise the risk of fire in the tumble dryer, following precautions should be observed:

- Oil-soaked items ignite spontaneously, especially when exposed to heat sources such as in a tumble dryer. The items become warm, causing an oxidation reaction in the oil. Oxidation creates heat. If the heat cannot escape, the item can become hot enough to catch fire. Piling, stacking or storing oil-soaked items can prevent heat from escaping and so create a fire hazard.

- Do not dry unwashed items in the tumble dryer.

- Ensure that the appliance is maintained as shown in the section "Maintenance and cleaning".

- Ensure that the appliance is installed as per the instructions above.

- Items that have been soiled with substances such as cooking oil, acetone, alcohol, petrol, kerosene, spot removers, turpentine, waxes and wax removers must be washed in hot water with an extra amount of detergent before being dried in the tumble dryer.

• Do not use flammable cleaning agents.

- Do not use the tumble dryer if chemicals have been used for cleaning.

- Items such as foam rubber (latex foam), shower caps, waterproof textiles, rubber backed articles and clothes or pillows fitted with foam rubber pads must not be dried in the tumble dryer.

- Fabric softeners or similar products should be used as specified in the fabric softener instructions.

- Remove all objects from pockets, such as lighters and matches.

- Never use or store flammable materials near to the dryer.

- Never stop a tumble dryer before the end of the drying cycle, unless all items are quickly removed and spread out so that the heat is dissipated.

Warning: rear panel may be hot.

• The dryer is suitable for indoor use only.

• Do not use extension leads or multiple adaptors.

• Always set the programme/time selector knob to the "0" position after use. This prevents the dryer from being switched on accidentally.
• Before cleaning or carrying out maintenance, switch off the dryer and disconnect it from the mains supply.
• To clean the outside of the dryer, use a neutral detergent and a damp cloth.
  • Do not use abrasive detergents.
• The final phase of a drying cycle always occurs without heat (cool-down phase) so that the items are left at a temperature which ensures that they will not be damaged.
• Wipe away any lint from the door seal and the door using a damp cloth.
• If the lint filter mesh is clogged, clean it with water and a soft brush.
• Since lint can penetrate through the filter, it is necessary to clean the entire filter area (including below the filter) from time to time using a brush, a damp cloth or a vacuum cleaner.

Energy saving tips

• Always dry a full load, depending on the type of laundry and the programme/drying time. For more detailed information, see the programme chart.
• By preference use the maximum spin speed allowed by your washing machine, since draining the water mechanically requires less energy. You will save time and energy when running your drying cycle.
  • Do not overdry the laundry.
• Clean the lint filter after every drying cycle.
  • Clean the heat exchanger every month.
• Place your dryer in a room with a temperature between 15°C and 20°C. If the temperature is higher then ventilate the room, e.g. by opening the window.
  • Always select the correct programme/drying time for the load in order to obtain the desired drying results.
• Select the 'Gentle' option only in case of drying small loads.
• When drying cotton, for example, dry Iron Dry and Cupboard Dry loads together. Start with the Iron Dry programme/drying time setting, remove the laundry to be ironed at the end of that cycle and dry the remainder of the load on the Cupboard Dry setting.

- Always set the program selector knob to the "0" position after the end of the cycle.
