6 - TROUBLESHOOTING Some incidents may arise when you are using your dryer. Here are the points you should check: 7 - INTERVENTIONS

5.A - DRYING TIME The drying times below are given to you as an indication, because they are function:— The desired result: dry, damp, etc.— The ambient temperature (these values correspond to an ambient temperature of 20°C).— The quality of the prior spin-drying.For lower spin speeds, the times will be relatively longer.(For example, for 5kg of normal laundry spun at 500 rpm: 120 to 160 minutes). Type of items Load For items spun at ... Drying cycle time

8 kg 1200 rpm 100 to 120 minutes

5 kg 1200 rpm 60 to 80 minutes

3,5 kg 1200 rpm 50 to 60 minutes

5 kg 850 rpm 80 to 100 minutes

2,5 kg 850 rpm 50 to 60 minutes

3 kg 500 rpm 60 to 80 minutes

1,5 kg 500 rpm 40 to 50 minutes

Fault: Check whether:

The dryer does not start:

- the plug is in the socket.

- the door is properly closed.

- the condenser is correctly locked in place.

- the “Start” key was pressed (if the appliance was

The drying times are too long:

- the filter in the drum is clogged with fluff.

- the laundry has been spun enough beforehand

(500rpm minimum, but spinning at 850rpm provides

better drying times).

- the room temperature is not too high, particularly if

the room is small: if necessary, open the door or

- the condenser is not clogged.

- the air inlets and outlets are unobstructed enough to

ensure correct air circulation.

- the laudry choice selected matches the type of

The laundry is too damp:

- the filter in the drum is clogged with fluff.

- the type of laundry has been selected correctly or if

the drying time is good enough.

- the condenser is not blocked by fluff.

The laundry is too dry, too creased:

- the drying time selected is too long: the drying time

is better to be too short than too long: this avoids

the laundry becoming too dry and difficult to iron.

The items are unevenly dried:

- the types of textiles in the load are too different (e.g.

sheets together with jeans).

- the laundry has been laid correctly ‘unfolded’ in the

- the drum is not overloaded.

The synthetic items are loaded with

- the laundry has been dried too much.

- you have used softener during washing. By using

this product, you can reduce most of the problems

with static electricity.

The “Tank Full” indicator light is lit:

- the condensate container is full: once you have emp-

tied it, re-insert it correctly, pushing it completely

The “Tank Full” indicator light illumi-

nates although the tank is empty:

- the container has been properly inserted: push it in

- the condenser is tightly locked on the two sides.

4.5 - DIRECT EVACUATION OF WATER CONDEN-

SER (Top condensate container models only)To avoid having to empty the collection tank every time you use the appliance, you have a kit (*) for removing the water from the condenser directly intothe drain (hose and deflector). To fit this: — Take off the existing pipe and push it inside the appliance(Fig. 4.5.1). — Clip the deflector with the top of the pump (Fig. 4.5.1).— Connect the hose from the kit to the end

C B A connector on the appliancl (Fig. 4.5.2).You can connect the other end of the hose either:- To a ventilated trap (Fig. 4.5.3).- Or a sink trap (Fig. 4.5.4).When connecting to a trap, you must remove the fil-ler plug. Then press home the rubber tip. If neces-sary, add a clamp connection(Fig. 4.5.4). — (*) This kit is provided with the appliance or is available near your After-sales service (accordingto model). — The deflector must necessarily be positioned before the drain hose connection. D

4.4 - CLEANING THE APPLIANCE To clean the control panel, the access to the drum and the casing, use only a sponge or a damp clothand some soapy water. — Ensure that there is no fluff accumulating round the dryer.— Clean the door seal with a damp cloth and the fil-ter housing with your vacuum cleaner once a year. — You should not use, under any circumstances,

the abrasive powders, the metal or plastic sponges and the alcohol-based products (Fig. 4.4). 4.6 - CHANGING THE BULB (according to model) You can replace the light bulb (type E14-15W/230V) yourself(Fig. 1.1) . To do this:— Unscrew the glass cover located at the top, insidethe appliance.— Unscrew the extinguished bulb and replace it .

— Screw on the glass cover tightly. Important: Unplug the power cord before

changing the bulb. The bulb must be repla- ced when the appliance is cooled down.

G Any work on your appliance must be performed by a Brand-approved qualified professional. When you call, mention your appliance’s full reference (model, type, serial number). These details are shown on the manufac-turer’s information plate(Fig. 1.1).
