8. DAILY USE

8.1 Preparing the laundry

Very often the clothes after washing cycle are kneaded and tangled altogether.

Drying kneaded and tangled clothes is inefficient.

To assure proper air flow and even drying it is recommended to shake and load one by one the clothes to the tumble dryer.

To assure proper drying process:

• Close the zips.

• Close the fasteners of duvet covers.

• Do not dry ties or ribbons loose (e.g. apron ribbons). Tie them before you start a programme.

• Remove all items from pockets.
• Turn items with the internal layer made of cotton inside out. Cotton layer must be faced outwards.
• Always set the programme suitable for the type of laundry.
• Do not put light and dark colours together.
• Use suitable programme for cottons, jersey and knitwear to reduce shrinkage.

• Do not exceed the maximum load stated in the programmes chapter or shown on the display.

• Dry only the laundry that is suitable for tumble drying. Refer to the fabric label on the items.

• Do not dry large and small items together. Small items can be trapped inside the large items and remain wet.

- Shake the large clothes, fabrics before placing in the tumble dryer. It is to avoid moist places inside the fabric after the drying cycle.

10. CARE AND CLEANING

10.1 Cleaning the filter

At the end of each cycle the ⚙ filtro symbol comes on the display and you must clean the filter.

The filter collects the lint during the drying cycle.

To achieve the best drying performances clean the filter regularly, clogged filter lead to longer cycles and energy consumption increase. Use your hand to clean the filter, and if necessary, a vacuum cleaner.

CAUTION!

Avoid the use of water to clean the filter. Instead throw away lint in the dustbin ( avoid dispersion of plastic fiber in water ambient).

1. Open the door. Pull the filter up.

10.4 Cleaning the humidity sensor

CAUTION!

Risk of humidity sensor damage. Do not use abrasive materials or steel wool to clean the sensor.

To assure best drying results the appliance is equipped with metal humidity sensor. It is placed on the inner side of the door area.

Over usage time the surface of the sensor may get dirty what deteriorates the drying performance.

We recommend to clean the sensor at least 3 or 4 times or if you observe the drop of drying performance.

To clean you can use harder side of dish-washing sponge and bit of vinegar or dish soap.

To clean the sensor:

1. Open the loading door.
2. Clean the surfaces of the humidity sensor wiping off the metal surface several times.

	Too low or too high room temperature - this is not the appliance malfunction.	Ensure a room temperature higher than +5°C and lower than +35°C. Optimal room temperature to achieve best drying results is between 19°-24°C.

1) If there is an error message on the display (e.g. E51): Turn the tumble dryer off and on. Select a new programme. Touch the Start/Pause button. If the appliance does not operate contact the service centre and provide the error code.
2) Follow the programme description — see the PROGRAMMES chapter.
3) See the CARE AND CLEANING chapter.
4) Only dryers with the Nivel de Sec. option.
5) See the HINTS AND TIPS chapter.
6) Note: After a maximum of 5 hours the drying cycle ends automatically.

11.1 Possible causes of unsatisfactory drying results:

• The filter is clogged. Clogged filter makes drying inefficient.
  • The airflow slots are clogged.
  • The humidity sensor is dirty.

• The drum is dirty.

• Inadequate default dryness level settings. See chapter Adjustment of default dryness level

• Room temperature is too low or too high. Optimal room temperature is between 19^-24^ .
