INSTALLING THE APPLIANCE

INSTALLATION

Installation must be carried out by qualified 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.

Place the filter in its normal position as shown (fig. 4).

Clean the inside of the drying drum using a damp cloth to remove any dust deposits.

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 (fig. 3).

Never cover the air intake at the back of the appliance.

LEVELLING THE DRIER

Adjustable feet. Place the drier upright so that it rests firmly on all four feet. Level the drier by adjusting the feet as follows:

Lift the drier slightly.
Adjust the feet to the correct height (fig. 5).

Do not unscrew the feet to 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 floor.

CONNECTING THE AIR EXHAUST TUBE

Connect the exhaust tube to the outlet on the back of the drier (fig.6), as follows:

Connect one end of the tube to the connector piece supplied.
Rotate the connecting piece (together with the tube) anticlockwise in the drier outlet hole.
- Carry the tube away from the back of the drier to the left or

right by means of the recess at the bottom of the drier body.

Position the other end of the tube near to a window or a ventilation outlet on an external wall. If this is not possible, ensure that the room is well ventilated when the drier is being used. Use the support supplied to anchor the tube (fig. 7).

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 exhausted air must not be conveyed to a chimney discharging fumes generated by gas or other fuel burning appliances.

INSTALLING THE APPLIANCE

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION

Make sure that the voltage indicated on the identification 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 identification plate.
The mains supply to which the appliance is connected must be fitted with an earthing sys

tem. If this is not the case, the manufacturer will not be held liable for any incidents that may occur (fig. 8).

If the power supply cable is damaged in any way, contact the appropriate specialised customer technical 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.

USING THE APPLIANCE DESCRIPTION OF THE FUNCTIONS

Drying time control knob: Rotate the knob to select the required drying times (fig. 9). Refer to the program table to select the program according to the type of fabric.
At the end of each drying cycle, the appliance effects a 4-5 minute cooling cycle, during which time the appliance is still switched on.
ON/OFF button: Press this button to connect the appliance to the mains supply and not to start it. (fig. 10).

Delicate or energetic drying button: This button is used to select the type of drying cycle to run: Energetic or delicate (fig.11).

■ INDICATOR LIGHT: Stays lit during the drying cycle. Flashes before the program has been set, and at the end of the drying cycle together with an intermittent audible signal.

USING THE APPLIANCE

DOOR

The drier is the front-loading type. Pull the handle outwards, without forcing it, and gently open the door. The appliance will stop if the door is opened during a drying cycle. The drum will continue to rotate for a while, slowing down gradually to a stop.

Important:

Obviously, during a drying cycle the washing in the drum will be hot. The washing is cooled during the cooling cycle (Last 4-5 minutes of each cycle).

To avoid being scalded by

steam or burned by the hot washing, pay particular attention when opening the door during the drying phase.

DRYING THE WASHING CORRECTLY

Follow the procedure below:

A

Spin the washing.

B

Separate the items into types or fabrics.
Close any zips and fasten buttons and remember to empty the pockets of any clothing.
Turn jumpers inside out.

C

Open the door
Load the washing in the drum and remember to load sheets from a corner first.
It is advisable to load small and large items together.

D

Close the door
Dry your hands (never touch electric appliances with wet hands).
Make sure that the ON/OFF button is OFF.
Insert the plug in the mains socket.

E

Make sure that the programmer is positioned on "STOP", press

the ON/OFF button and, after the audible signal, set the required program. (see program table)

At this point, the appliance will start and the indicator light will stay on.

IMPORTANT:

• When you want to change the programme being used;
• When you want to add some items after the drying cycle has already started;
• When, for whatever reason, there is an electric power cutout during drying cycle;

In order to re-start the machine, position the knob on STOP, wait for the light to stop flashing and then reset the programme required.

At the end of the drying cycle, if the selector is not turned on STOP, or if the ON/OFF switch is not positioned on OFF, the machine will automatically perform an anticrase cycle with simultaneous acoustic signalling.

F

After having removed the dry washing, clean the filter as follows:

• Lift the filter
• Open it and clean it using a soft brush
• Close it and replace it in its seating
• The filter must be washed periodically using soapy water in order to remove very small particles.

Unplug the appliance from the mains supply.

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 specified 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.

Reposition the filter in the slide guides (fig. 13).

FAULT FINDING

All electric appliance may breakdown at some time. Remember to call a qualified electrician in these cases. However, many problems can be resolved without the need for external intervention.

Important: If a fault occurs, disconnect the appliance from the mains supply immediately. Before calling the customer service centre, check the points listed below.

RESOLVING PROBLEMS

If the drier doesn't start

• Check that:

1) The appliance is plugged into the mains supply.
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

• Check that:

1) The door is closed properly.

The washing does not dry

• Check that:

1) The air exhaust tube is not twisted or kinked.
2) The filter is not blocked. (Remember that when the door is opened, the internal parts of the drier and the washing may be very hot).

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 efficient repair.

OPTIONAL ACCESSORIES

The retailer can provide an accessory to enable the drier to be mounted on top of a front-loading washing machine, thus saving space. The installer will inform you of the appliance model for which this option is possible.
