DESCRIPTION OF THE APPLIANCE

INSTALLING THE APPLIANCE

Installation must be carried out by qualifi ed personnel in line with the instructions supplied by the manufacturer. Incorrect installation may result in damage and injury.▼ Install the drier near to a window to facilitate the evacuation of the damp air from the drier.▼ The exhaust tube must be used to prevent condensation, and must be inserted in hole A at the bottom of the back panel of the appliance (fi g. 3).INSTALLATIONThe drier is a domestic appliance capable of drying any type of fabric at any time.▼ The drier has been constructed in steel panels, which have been treated and painted to guarantee that its aesthetic qualities remain unaltered over time.▼ The motor and all moving parts have been designed and manufactured to guar-antee the minimum possible noise levels▼ The control panel has been designed to enable the user to run the desired drying program without diffi culty.▼ The wide door makes loading and unloading the washing much easier. 1 - Door2 - Filter 3 - Adjustable feet 4 - Rating plate5 - Exhaust outlet6 - Connector piece7 - Exhaust tube8 - Tube support

INSTALLING THE APPLIANCE

▼ Never cover the air intake on the back of the appliance. ▼ Place the fi lter in its normal position as shown (fi g. 4). ▼ Clean the inside of the drum using a damp cloth to remove any dust deposits.

Connect the exhaust tube to the outlet on the back of the drier (fi g.6), as follows: ▼ Connect one end of the tube to the connecting piece supplied. ▼ Rotate the connecting piece (together with the tube) anticlockwise in the drier outlet. ▼ Feed the tube away from the back of the drier to the left or right through the recess at the bottom of the drier body. ▼ Position the other end of the tube near a window or a ventilation aperture on an external wall. If this is not possible, make sure that the room is well ventilated when the drier is being used. Use the support supplied to anchor the tube (fi g. 7). Adjustable feet. Place the drier upright so that it rests fi rmly on all four feet. Level the drier by adjusting the feet as follows: ▼ Lift the drier slightly. ▼ Adjust the feet to the correct height (fi g. 5). (Do not unscrew the feet too much and do not use a screwdriver). ▼ Lower the drier. A badly levelled machine may cause damage to the bearings and lead to their premature wear. This drier does not need to be anchored to the fl oor.

Important: The air exhaust tube must be connected even if the air is not discharged outdoors, otherwise the drier will re-absorb the discharged damp air and thus prolong the drying time. Damp air can also damage the drier. Although the air discharged from the exhaust tube is only warm and damp and does not constitute a danger, it must never be directed towards people, animals or plants. Important: The exhaust air must not be conveyed to a chimney discharging fumes generated by gas or other fuel burning appliances.

INSTALLING THE APPLIANCE

▼ Make sure that the voltage indicated on the identifi cation plate attached to the back of the appliance corresponds to that of the mains supply. ▼ On completion of the installation, the appliance must be connected to the mains supply through a two-pole switch. ▼ All cutouts, electric wiring and mains sockets must have a rating such that enables them to support the maximum load indicated on the identifi cation plate. ▼ The mains supply to which the appliance is connected must be fi tted with an earthing system. If this is not the case, the manufacturer will not be held liable for any incidents that may occur (fi g. 8). ▼ If the power supply cable is damaged in any way, contact the nearest customer service centre. ▼ The drier must not be connected to the mains supply using indirect methods such as extension leads or multiple adapters. ▼ Position the appliance so that the power supply cable is easily accessible for disconnection when the need arises. Important: On completion of the drying cycle, disconnect the appliance from the mains supply to prevent young children from operating the drier. OPENING THE DOOR AND CHANGING THE OPENING DIRECTION ▼ Press on the right side of the door (fi g. 9) to open it. If the direction of the door opening has been changed, press the left side. ▼ The opening direction of the door opening can be modifi ed according to needs (fi g. 10). N.B.: This operation must only be carried out by a qualifi ed technician. Contact the customer service centre.

MAINTENANCE

PRECAUTIONS FOR FABRIC TYPES

In the case of doubt as to the type of fabric, read the label on the item itself. Almost all items that can be machine dried have this information specifi ed on the label. To avoid static electricity being generated in the items, add a conditioner to the rinse cycle of the washing machine. Remove synthetic materials from the drum immediately to prevent them from creasing.

1) The appliance is plugged into the mains

2) The mains socket is working correctly:

2a) The fuse has not blown. (Check by plugging in another appliance such as a table lamp). 2b) All the instructions in the manual have been followed. If the drier doesn’t start

1) The door is closed properly.

2) The “START” button has been pressed.

The washing does not dry

1) The air exhaust tube is not twisted or

2) The fi lter is not blocked. (Remember that

when the door is opened, the internal parts of the drier and the washing may be very hot).

TROUBLESHOOTING IS ONE WORD

If, after all these checks have been carried out, the appliance still does not work, inform the nearest customer service centre. When contacting the service centre, inform them of the appliance model, serial number and type of fault. This information will help the service centre operator in procuring the necessary spare parts, thus guaranteeing a speedy and effi cient repair service. OPTIONAL ACCESSORIES To save space, the retailer can supply an accessory to enable the drier to be mounted on top of a front- loading washing machine. The installer can provide the information on the model of appliance on which this accessory can be fi tted. FAULT FINDING All electric appliances may breakdown at some point. Remember to call a qualifi ed electrician in these cases. However, many problems can be resolved without the need for external intervention.
