To fit this:— Take off the existing pipe and push it insidethe 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

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. 5.4). — (*) This kit is provided with the appliance or is available near your After-sales service (according to model). — The deflector must necessarily be positioned before the drain hose connection.

4.6 - CHANGING THE BULB

Some incidents may arise when you are using your dryer. Here are the points you should check:

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). 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 not in pause). 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 window. - the condenser is not clogged. - the air inlets and outlets are unobstructed enough to ensure correct air circulation. - the drying program selected matches the type of items in the drum. The laundry is too damp: - the filter in the drum is clogged with fluff. - the type of drying has been selected correctly: switch to the next programme. - the condenser is not blocked by fluff. The laundry is too dry, too creased: - the drying program selected matches the type of items in the drum. 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 dryer. - the drum is not overloaded. The synthetic items are loaded with static electricity: - 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 into its housing. The “Tank Full” indicator light illumina- tes although the tank is empty: - the container has been properly inserted: push it in completely. - the condenser is tightly locked on the two sides. NOTES
