Sorting and preparing laundry

Sorting laundry

- Sort by fabric type:

- Cotton/linen for programmes in KA-TOEN (COTTONS) programme group.

- Mixtures and synthetics for programmes in SYNTHETICA (SYNTHETICS) programme group.

- Sort by care label: The care labels mean:

	Drying in the tumble dryer possible in principle
	Drying at normal temperature
	Drying at reduced temperature (press DELICAAT (DELICATE) button!)
	Drying in the tumble dryer not possible

Important! Do not place in the appliance any wet laundry which is not specified on the care label as being suitable for tumble-drying. This appliance can be used for all wet laundry items which are labelled as suitable for tumble-drying.

- Do not dry new, coloured textiles together with light-coloured laundry items. Textile colours may bleed.

- Do not dry cotton jersey and knitwear with the EXTRA DRY programme. Items may shrink!

- Wool and wool-like textiles can be dried using the WOOL CARE programme.

Preparing laundry

- To avoid laundry becoming tangled: close zips, button up duvet covers and tie loose ties or ribbons (e.g. of aprons).

- Empty pockets. Remove metal items (paper clips, safety pins, etc).

- Turn items with double-layered fabrics inside out (e.g. with cotton-lined anoraks, the cotton layer should be outermost). These fabrics will then dry better.

Important! Do not overload the appliance. Observe max. loading volume of 7 kg.

Selecting additional functions

You can choose from the additional functions:

button 1 - DELICATE button 2 - LONG ANTI-CREASE button 3 - BUZZER button 5 - DELAY START

DELICATE

Pressing this button allows drying to be performed at a lower temperature, for delicate items. The corresponding pilot light comes on. This option can also be used for time controlled drying.

LONG ANTI-CREASE

A long anti-crease phase lengthens the anti-crease phase (30 min.) at the end of the drying additionally by 60 minutes. The drum rotates at intervals during this phase. This keeps the laundry loose and free of creases. Phase lasts in total 90 minutes. The laundry can be removed at any time during the anti-crease phase.

When the option is active, the LONG ANTI-CREASE light is on.

BUZZER

When the drying cycle has finished, an intermittent audible signal will sound. By depressing button BUZZER the acoustic signal is switched off in the following cases:

• when selecting the programme
• when depressing the buttons
• when the programme selector dial is turned to another position during the programme or when you depress an option button during the cycle

- at the end of the programme.

The corresponding light comes on.

DELAY START

With the DELAY START button, you can delay the start of a programme by 3, 6, or 9 hours.

1. Select the programme and additional functions.
2. Press the DELAY START button as many times as necessary (the lights show which delay time has been chosen).
3. To activate the delay timer, press the START/PAUSE button. The lights 9h, 6h, 3h change every three hours until the time is getting close to the start cycle.

Starting the programme

Press the START/PAUSE button. The programme is started.

The programme phase is shown by appropriate lights. From top to bottom: DRYING (light 10), COOLING (light 11), to ANTI-CREASE/END (light 12).

Changing programme

To change a programme which has been selected by mistake once the programme has started, first turn the programme selector to the OFF position. The programme is cancelled.

The programme can no longer be changed directly once the programme has started. If nevertheless there is an attempt to change the programme on the programme knob or if a function button (excluding the BUZZER button) is pressed, the START/PAUSE button starts flashing temporarily in yellow. The drying programme is not however affected by this (laundry protection).

Drying cycle complete / removing laundry

Once the drying cycle is complete, the lights ANTI-CREASE/END and FILTER are on. If the buzzer function is active, an acoustic signal will sound intermittently for about one minute.

The drying cycles are automatically followed by an anti-crease phase which lasts around 30 minutes. The drum rotates at intervals during this phase. This keeps the laundry loose and free of creases. The laundry can be removed at any time during the anti-crease phase. (The laundry should be taken out towards the end of the anti-crease phase at the latest to prevent creases from forming.) If the LONG ANTI-CREASE function has been selected, the anti-crease phase is lengthened by 60 minutes.

1. Open door.
2. Remove laundry.
3. Remove the filter after the clothes have been removed. Clean the filter.

Warning! Before you place the filter, check that there is nothing inside the filter seat.

1. Turn the programme selector to "O" (OFF).

Important! Clean the filter after each drying cycle.

1. Close the door.

Cleaning and maintenance

Warning! The tumble dryer is not to be used if industrial chemicals have been used for cleaning!

Cleaning the fluff filter

The filter collects all the fluff that accumulates during drying. To ensure that the dryer works perfectly, the fluff filter must be cleaned after every drying cycle.

The warning light FILTER 📋 is on to remind you of this operation.

Caution! Never operate the dryer without the fluff filter or with a damaged or blocked fluff filter.

Open the loading door and remove the laundry. 2. Remove the filter, which is built into the lower part of the loading aperture.

Open the filter by pressing the button, holding it between two fingers in the slots. Clean the filter using a damp hand or cloth. After a period of time, a patina due to detergent residue on laundry forms on the filters. When this occurs, clean the filter with warm water using a brush.

Close the filter and do not forget to put it back.

Warning! Before you place the filter, please check that there is nothing inside the filter seat.

1. The filter can be positioned only to one side. If the position is wrong, the filter overhangs.

If the filter will not snap into place, the loading door cannot be closed.

Cleaning the door

Clean periodically the interior part of the door to remove any fluff. Accurate cleaning ensures correct drying.

Cleaning the drum

Caution! Do not use abrasives or steel wool to clean the drum.

Lime in the water or cleaning agents may form a barely visible lining on the inside of the drum. The degree to which the laundry has been dried is then no longer detected reliably. The laundry is damper than expected when removed from the dryer.

Use a standard domestic cleaner (e.g. vinegar-based cleaner) to wipe down the inside of the drum and drum ribs.

Clean operating screen and housing

Caution! Do not use furniture cleaners or aggressive cleaning agents to clean the machine.

Use a damp cloth to wipe down the operating screen and housing.

1) Different loading volume data may be needed in some countries as a result of different measuring methods. 2) in accordance with EN 61121

Installation

Important! The appliance must be moved in vertical position for transport.

Appliance 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 grilles 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 deeply carpets, strips of wood or similar. This might cause heat built-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.

Warning! Should the appliance be moved, it must be transported vertically. Warning! The appliance must not be installed behind the lockable door, a sliding door or a door with a hinge on the opposite side to that of the appliance.

Removing transport safety packaging

Caution! Before use all parts of the transport packaging must be removed.

1. Open loading door.
2. Pull off adhesive strips from inside machine on top of drum.
3. Remove foil hose and polystyrene padding from the machine.

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.

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 lying in the hose or flowing back into the tumble dryer, it is advisable to drill a small hole (via. 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.

Warning! 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. 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.

Door reversal

To make it easier to load or unload the laundry, the door can be reversed. The door must only be reversed by an authorised service engineer. Please contact your local Service Force Centre. The engineer will carry out the door reversal at your cost.

Electrical connection

Details on mains voltage, type of current and the fuses required should be taken from the type plate. The type plate is fitted near the loading aperture (see “Product description” chapter).

Connect the machine to an earthed socket, in accordance with current wiring regulations.

Environmental tips

• In the dryer, laundry becomes fluffy and soft. Fabric softeners are not therefore needed when washing.
• Your dryer will function most economically if you:

– always keep the ventilation slots on the base of the dryer unobstructed; – use the loading volumes specified in the programme overview; – clean the filter after each drying cycle; – spin the laundry well before drying. Example: Consumption data – depending on spinning speed – for 7 kg of laundry, dried using the COTTON STORAGE DRY programme.
