INDICATORS

Dryness level: Dry dry - Hanger dry - Cupboard dry - Extral dry Cycle phase: Drying - Cool down - End of cycle Empty water tank - Clean door filter - Clean bottom filter

Refer to troubleshooting section: 📋Failure: Call after sales service

FIRST TIME USE

Make sure that the water tank is correctly inserted. Make sure that the drain hose on the back of the dryer is fixed correctly, either to the dryer's water tank, or to your domestic drainage system.

The dryer must be installed in a room with a temperature ranging between 5°C and 35°C to ensure proper operation. Before you use your dryer ensure that it has been in a upright position for at least 6 hours.

DAILY USE

Doing this will keep your machine working at its BEST:

- remember to empty your water tank after each drying cycle.

- remember to clean your filters after each drying cycle. Refer to the Care & Maintenance section.

1. Plug the dryer into the power supply socket.

2. Open the door and load garments; always refer to instructions on clothing labels and the max loads indicated in the programme section. Empty pockets. Make sure garments do not get caught between the door and/or the door filter. Do not load items that are dripping wet. Do not tumble dry large, very bulky items. For optimal drying result, garments should be loaded one by one.

3. Close the door.

4. Press the "On/Off" button.

5. Select the most suitable programme for the type of fabric in that load.

6. Select the options, if necessary.

7. Press the "Start/Pause" button to begin drying.

8. At the end of the drying cycle, a buzzer will beep. An indicator on the control panel signals the end of the cycle. Turn the machine off by pressing the "On/Off" button, open the door and pull the clothing immediately out to prevent the formation of creases on laundry.

If the machine is not switched off manually, after about a quarter of an hour from the end of the cycle, the appliance turns off automatically to save energy.

Note that some models perform a final cool tumble phase, for this reason the fabrics may not feel hot.

In case of power failure, it is necessary to press the "Start/Pause" button to restart the cycle

Opening the door during the cycle

The tumble dryer door can be opened at any time during the cycle to check progress and remove any garments already dry. However, since opening the door can extend the drying time, the recommendation is to keep the door closed throughout the cycle process to save time and energy.

After closing the door, press the "Start/Pause" button within 15 minutes to resume the machine operation.

CARE LABEL

Always check the care labels, especially when placing garments in the tumble dryer for the first time. Below are the most commonly used symbols:

☐ May be tumble dried.
Do not tumble dry.
Tumble dry – high heat.
Tumble dry – low heat.

PROGRAMS

The duration of these programs will depend on the size of the load, types of textiles, the spin speed used in your washer and any extra options selected. In machines equipped with display, the duration of the cycles is shown on the control panel. The remaining time is constantly checked and adjusted during the drying cycle to show the best possible estimate. Option to use - If all your loads on Automatic Cycles are consistently less dry or more dry than you would like, you may increase or decrease the dryness level using the specific option.

Enables quicker drying.

FRESH

FreshCare+

CARE+ If laundry is left inside of the drum once the cycle has ended, it can be subjected to bacterial proliferation. This option helps to prevent this from happening by controlling the temperature and gently rotating the drum. This will continue for up to 6 hours after the end of the cycle. This setting will remain in the memory of the previous cycle. If this is used alongside Start Delay, a crease treatment will be performed during this phase by periodic rotations of the drum.

Mute

This option turns off all sounds of control panel. Only warnings remain active.

• to activate the option, keep the button pressed until the indicator goes on.
• to disable the option, keep the button pressed until the indicator goes off.

High heat

It improves the drying capacity. Option suitable for drying tough garments, it is used with timed cycles.

Anti tangle

This option performs a special drum movement that reduces tangling and knotting of your clothes. It gives best results when used with smaller loads.

Gentle

Enables a more gentle treatment of the laundry by reducing the drying temperature.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

WARNING: unplug the dryer during the cleaning and maintenance procedures.

Emptying the water tank after each cycle (see Fig. A).

Pull the container out of the dryer and empty it into a sink or other suitable drain, then place it back properly. Do not use the dryer without having inserted the container back in place.

Cleaning the door filter after each cycle (see Fig. B).

Pull the filter out and clean it by removing the lint from the filter surface under running water or using a vacuum cleaner. For optimal performance, dry up the filter before inserting it back in place.

Do not use the dryer without having reinserted the filter in place.

Remove the door filter as described below:

1. Open the door and pull the filter upwards.

2. Open the filter and remove the lint from all its parts. Replace the filter correctly making sure it is fully seated.

Cleaning the bottom filter when the relevant indicator turns on (see Fig. C).

Pull the filter out and remove the lint from its surface by washing it under running water or by using a vacuum cleaner.

However, it is advisable to clean this filter after each cycle to optimise drying performance.

Do not use the dryer without having reinserted the filter in place.

Remove the bottom filter as described below:

C1. Open the bottom cover; take the handle and pull the filter out.

C2. Open the rear side of the filter and remove the lint from the inner surface of the mesh.

C3/C4. Check the bottom filter chamber every month. If you see residual lint accumulated on the metal fins, clean it with a vacuum cleaner, using a nozzle with a brush.

It's crucial to do vertical movements, you may destroy the component if you try to clean it in horizontal direction. Avoid the direct contact of the hand with the fins - risk of cut.

C5. Close the rear side of the filter and place it back by checking it is perfectly integrated into its seat, then lower the filter handle.

C6. Close the bottom cover.

Make sure the air intake is free.

The filters are essential parts for drying. They are intended to collect the lint formed during the drying process. In case of clogged filters, the air flow inside the dryer would be seriously affected: the drying times would be longer, the energy consumption would increase and the dryer could be damaged. If these procedures are not carried out properly, the dryer may not start.

NOTE: After cleaning the filters the relevant indicator remains on; this is normal, it will disappear when you start a new drying cycle.

Cleaning the tumble dryer

• The external metal, plastic and rubber parts can be cleaned with a damp cloth.
• Clean the front air intake grille regularly (every 6 months) with a vacuum cleaner to remove any lint, fluff or dust deposits. Furthermore, remove any lint deposits from the filters area, using a vacuum cleaner every so often.
• Do not use solvents or abrasives.

TRANSPORT AND HANDLING

Never lift the dryer by holding it at the worktop.

1. Unplug the dryer.
2. Remove the water from the water tank completely.
3. Make sure that door and water tank are properly closed.
4. If the drain hose is connected to your drainage system, re-connect it to the back of the dryer (see "Installation" section in the Safety Instruction guide).
