SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS AND WARNINGS

PREPARING FOR DRYING

Before drying the washing, spin it at the recommended rpm for the type of load. Spinning at maximum rpm will result in up to a 35% saving in energy. The higher the spin speed, the better the drying re- sult. Before drying the washing in the drier, check the items to make sure they can be ma- chine dried. Refer to the clothing care sym- bols on the labels. If the label has no drying sym- bol, proceed as follows:

white/coloured washing and crease-proof wash- ing can be dried at nor- mal temperature using the appropriate drying program.

delicate washing, acrylics for example, must be dried at low temperature. General advice: Jersey often shrinks, not only in the wash but also during drying. Pure linen.

Only dry if indicated by the manufacturer on the label. Otherwise, the fabric could roughen.

Do not dry dark coloured washing together with light coloured washing in order to prevent discolouring. Read these operating in- structions carefully before using the drier. This will ensure your safety and prevent damage to the drier. Repairs to our driers can only be carried out by au- thorised personnel. Repairs carried out by oth- ers or by the user may nul- lify the guarantee. There is no electricity sup- ply to the drier only if the plug has been removed from the mains socket or if the main domestic supply switch has been switched off. Children must be kept away from the drier when it is in operation. Always close the door after using the drier. This will prevent children from leaning on the door and possibly overturning the drier.

if the washing contains parts in rubber or foam rubber;

if the washing has been treated with flammable detergent (stain remov- ing fluid for example);

if the washing has been in contact with hair spray or nail varnish solvent or similar prod- ucts; then there is a risk of fire! Store these operating instructions in a safe place. Sort the washing into fabric types. ADVICE:

delicate fabrics (silk for ex- ample) that require dry cleaning or hand washing cannot be dried too often in the drier (see fabric label).

woollen items must have the “pure new wool” mark with the writing “will not fray”, “superwash”, “will not shrink” or similar. Woollen items with the “wool” mark only should not be dried in the drier.

fabrics containing rubber or foam rubber elements cannot be dried in the drier.

fabrics that have been treated with a stain removing fluid or poisonous or narcotic type products cannot be dried in the drier in that there is a risk of spontaneous combustion. In some countries, the clothing items have wash labels with ma- chine dry symbols. In Holland, for example, this is still not compulsory and not all items of clothing have these symbols. Nevertheless, the labels in ques- tion bear the following informa- tion:

In addition to cleaning af- ter each drying cycle, the fil- ter must also be washed regularly with soapy water to remove any dust. This will greatly improve the effi- ciency of the drier. NOTE: The required drying time depends on:

weight and thickness of the fabric;

degree of dampness of the washing.

If the condensation drain hose is not connected directly to the drainage system, the condensa- tion is collected in the reservoir (fig. 11). The reservoir must be emptied after each drying cycle. To empty the reservoir, proceed as follows:

empty the container. The drain hole is located on the top right.

after emptying the container, replace it in position and slide it as far as it will go.

to continue, or start the pro- gram, repeat the operations from point “4” (condensation drain button).

If the reservoir is not emptied or it fills up during a drying cycle, the condensation res- ervoir warning light with light up and the drier will stop.

Disconnect the drier from the mains supply before cleaning. It is important to clean the drier after each drying cycle in order to save in drying time and consequently en- ergy. Remove the filter by pulling up- wards and then clean it. (fig. 10).

Then proceed as described above.SM1733

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

INTERNAL LIGHT The drier is fitted with an inter- nal light. To replace the bulb, proceed as follows:

remove the plug from the mains socket or switch off the power supply.

remove the lamp cover. RECOMMENDATIONS When drying large items, re- arrange them during the dry- ing cycle. This will help reduce creas- ing to a minimum.

The washing must be spun dry before being placed in the drum of the drier. While the energy con- sumed by the spin is mini- mal, the drying action is another matter. It is rec- ommended, therefore, that the washing is spun dry whenever possible at the highest possible rpm or in a separate spin drier. In this way, the drying time is reduced with a re- sulting substantial saving in energy.

of rating higher than 15 W!

Replace the lamp cover. IIt is also possible to remove the two thread filters from the door opening and clean them (fig. 12). The filters can be cleaned by simply placing them under hot running water. The condenser should be

cleaned two or three times a year (fig. 13-16). Open the door, rotate the le- ver to the vertical position and remove the cover (fig. 13). Rotate the 3 levers to the ver- tical position and remove the condenser (fig. 14). Wash the front and back (fig. 15-

16) and sides of the condenser.

To dry the condenser, rest it on one side on a towel. When the condenser is dry, re- place it following the same pro- cedure in reverse order.SM1733

RECOMMENDATIONS ■ Always add a softener to the wash. This will improve the drying results and reduce drying time. ■ The layer of fibre threads in the filter is not the result of the drying procedure. The threads come from the MAINTENANCE
