Tips for environmental protection

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.

Description of the appliance

1 Control panel 2 Water reservoir 3 Fluff filters 4 Rating Plate 5 Consenser Unit 6 Adjustable feet

Adjusting the level of conductivity

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

Relevant variations in 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 the conductivity values of the water by using the following procedure.

To access adjustment mode:

Turn the programme selector dial to switch on the appliance. In selection mode, press simultaneously the buttons 2 and 4.

Press the buttons down until the pilot lights above each one begin to flash and one of the pilot lights indicating the drying phase lights "DROGEN", cooling "AFKOELEN", or end cycle "EINDE" remains lit

Adjusting the level of conductivity:

Press the Start/Pause button

sequentially: the level of conductivity is indicated by the lighting of the horizontal hyphens.

Display	Conductivity degree	Approximative value (μS/cm)
EINDE	Low < 300
AFKOELEN	Medium 300 - 600
DROGEN	High > 600

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

Memorizing the new setting:

Simultaneously press buttons 2 and 4.

Press and hold the buttons until the pilot lights above each one stop flashing and the buzzer sounds.

Installation

Warning!

Unpacking

Slide out the polythene bag with the polystyrene stuffing before using the appliance. Pull off adhesive strips from inside the machine on top of the 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 grille or the air intake grille 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.

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 (2.4 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. Should the appliance power supply cable need to be replaced, this must be carried out by our Service Centre.

Important!

The power supply cable must be accessible after installing the machine.

Stacking kit

A special stacking kit is available through your dealer, to enable the mounting of the dryer on top of a front loading washing machine with cover's depth between 48 and 60 cm.

Fresh & Cool "Cooling down"

This position on the programme selector dial can be used to freshen the laundry (e.g., to remove a persistent odour of mothballs). Programme duration: 10 minutes.

Load

It is often difficult to estimate the weight of items to be dried. We therefore recommend that you adopt the following guidelines:

• Cotton, linen: drum full but not too tightly packed; • Synthetics: drum no more than half full;
• Delicate fabrics: drum no more than one third full.

Operating sequence

Before using your tumble dryer for the first time, we recommend placing a few damp cloths inside the appliance and drying for 30 minutes.

There may be dust inside a brand new tumble dryer.

Drying

1. Connect the appliance.
2. Open the door (see picture).

1. Load the items one at a time, shaking them out loosely.
2. Close the door. Please check that the laundry does not get caught between the door and filter.
3. Select the drying programme or time. The lights "Drying", "Cooling" and "End" come on. The light of the START/PAUSE button flashes and the display shows the duration of the programme.
4. If required, press the "Low temperature" button and/or the "Buzzer OFF" button or the "Quick drying" button.
5. Select the "DELAYED START" if required.
6. Press the Start button START/PAUSE: the corresponding light stops flashing and drying starts. Only the light "Drying" remains lit. If the programme selector dial is turned to another position, when the machine is running, the buzzer will sound and the programme phase indicator lights will flash.

The drum turns alternately in both directions during drying.

All drying programmes end with a 10 minute cooling phase (light "Cooling" is on).

You may remove the laundry after this phase.

The lights "End", "Fluff filters" and "Reservoir" illuminate and the buzzer sounds to inform you the end of the cycle.

1. If the laundry is not removed at the end of the cycle, the dryer performs an anti-creasing phase (duration: 30 minutes maximum).

If you do not remove the laundry, the dryer will stop automatically at the end of the anti-creasing phase. The lights "End", "Fluff filters" and "Reservoir" remain lit and the buzzer sounds for 2 minutes.

10 Turn the programme selector dial to "RESET"; all the lights go out. The appliance is switched off. Remove the laundry.

If you open and then close the door before turning the selector dial to "RESET" all the lights corresponding to the phases making up the performed programme come on.

After each use

• Clean the filters (see page 12). • Empty the water reservoir (see page 13).

Important!

If the drying programme has to be stopped before it reaches the end, we recommend that you turn the programme selector dial to position "Cooling" and wait until the end of this cooling phase before removing the laundry. This will avoid a build-up of heat inside the appliance. To do this first turn the dial to "RESET" and then to "Cooling" and depress Start button START/PAUSE.

Modifying the programme

To change a programme which is running, first cancel it by turning the programme selector dial to "RESET". Select the new programme and press the Start button START/PAUSE.

Useful hints

- Try to load to the maximum capacity of the machine as small loads are uneconomical. For information, here is a list of the average 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

Bathrobe 1000 - 1500 g

Man's shirt 200 - 300 g

Pillowcase 100 - 200 g

Man's pyjamas 400 - 500 g

Ladies' nightdress 200 - 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:

may be tumble dried

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 30 minutes. This will be necessary particularly for multilayered items (e.g. collars, pockets, etc.).

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 only soap and water 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. Accurate cleaning ensures correct drying.

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 light "Pluizenfilters" is on to remind you of this operation.

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 loses fluff when drying but it goes unnoticed 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).

Do not use the appliance without filters.

Cleaning the condenser unit

Clean the condenser when light "Condensor" comes on.

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.

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

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

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

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 pilot light "Reservoir" reminds you of this operation.

Proceed as follows:

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

The reservoir must be re-inserted correctly.

If this is not done, the pilot light "Reservoir" comes on during the next drying cycle and the programme stops, leaving the laundry damp. The buzzer will sound.

After emptying and inserting the reservoir, the START/PAUSE button has to be depressed 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?

Before contacting your local Service Centre, please make the following checks.

Important!

If light “Einde” flashes, the buzzer sounds and an alarm code is displayed, switch the machine off and call the Service Centre.
