- Do not use fabric softeners or products to eliminate static unless recommended by the manufacturer of the fabric softener or product.
- Do not use heat to dry articles containing foam rubber or similarly textured rubber-like materials.
- Clean lint screen before or after each load.
- Keep area around the exhaust opening and adjacent surrounding areas free from the accumulation of lint, dust, and dirt.
- The interior of the appliance should be cleaned periodically by qualified service personnel.
- Do not place items exposed to cooking oils in your dryer. Items contaminated with cooking oils may contribute to a chemical reaction that could cause a load to catch fire.
- Grounding instructions
- This appliance must be grounded. In the event of malfunction or breakdown, grounding will reduce the risk of electric shock by providing a path of least resistance for electric current.
- This appliance is equipped with a cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
WARNING :
Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. Check with a qualified electrician or service representative or personnel if you are in doubt as to whether the appliance is properly grounded.
Do not modify the plug provided with the appliance: if it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Important :
Keep these operating instructions with
your appliance. If you should sell your machine or give it to someone else, ensure that the operating instructions are provided.
Please take note of these safety instructions before installing and using your appliance.
They have been written for your safety and that of others.

-
If your installation requires alteration, only entrust the electrical and plumbing work to qualified electricians and plumbers.
-
The appliance must not be installed behind a locking door, a sliding door or a door with hinges on the opposite side to those on the dryer.
-
Your appliance is designed for normal domestic use. Do not use it for commercial or industrial purposes or for any purpose other than the one for which it has been designed
Children's safety
- This appliance must only be used by adults. Do not let children play with the appliance and keep pets away from it.
- Keep young children away from the appliance when it is operating.
- Keep the packaging materials out of children's reach (e.g.: plastic bags, polystyrene, etc.) because they can be dangerous for children: risk of suffocation.
- This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they are supervised or instructed concerning use of the appliance by the person responsible for their safety.
- Use
Important :
Your tumble dryer is designed for domestic use only, for drying textiles suitable for tumble drying.
Important :
You must observe the following instructions. We decline any responsibility and rescind the guarantee if these recommendations are ignored: failure to observe them can result in material damage and physical injury.
- Use your appliance in accordance with its method of use, thereby avoiding injury to yourself and damage to your items. Do not use solvents in the appliance (risk of fire and explosion).
- Strictly comply with the care instructions on your laundry.
-
If you have to open the door of the drum during the drying cycle, ensure that you do not touch the drum immediately, as it is very hot.
-
Substances contained in soiling such as oil, acetone, alcohol, petrol, kerosene, stain removers, turpentine or wax must be removed before drying in your machine (by using an adapted warm water washing programme with additional detergent for example).
- Precautions for using stain-removing products: any preliminary treatment by solvent, stain-remover, aerosol, such as acetone, alcohol, gasoline, kerosene, térébentine is prohibited because these products are very inflammable. If your laundry requires this type of treatment, this must be done before washing. Similarly, we recommend that you do not use these products near to the dryer or, in general, near any electrical appliance in a poorly ventilated room in order to avoid any risk of an explosion.
- If any incidents occur, which you cannot resolve using the troubleshooting advice we provide (see "TROUBLESHOOTING"), contact our Technical Service Center.

- Or a sink trap (Fig. 17).
When connecting to a trap, you must remove the filler plug. Then press home the rubber tip. If necessary, add a clamp connection (Fig. 17).
Important :
The deflector must be positioned before the drain hose connection to avoid any water splashes when taking off the hose.
Remarks :
(*) This kit is provided with the appliance or is available near your After-sales service under the ref. 57X3184 (according to model).
- CLEANING THE CONDenser
Important :
The condenser must be cleaned twice a h.
Important :
Unplug the power cable from the socket before cleaning the condenser.
- Open the grill at the front of the appliance.
- Release the condenser (Fig.18).
- Remove it carefully (Fig.19).
- Remove any fluff from the condenser.
- Clean it with water only under the tap (Fig.20).
- After cleaning, ensure that none of the tubes are "blocked" and that the fins are clean.
- Rub it superficially.
- Re-insert the condenser and lock it in place. Close the grill.
Important :
When refitting the condenser, ensure that it is pushed in firmly right to the back of its housing when locking it in
- CLEANING THE APPLIANCE
Advice :
To clean the control panel, the access to the drum and the casing, use only a sponge or a damp cloth and some soapy water.
- Ensure that there is no fluff accumulating round the dryer.
- Clean the door seal with a damp cloth.
- Clean the filter housing with your vacuum cleaner once a year.
You should not use, under any circumstances (Fig 21):
- Abrasive powders
- Metal or plastic sponges
Alcohol-based products (alcohol, thinners, etc.)
Advice :
Some incidents may arise when you are using your dryer. Here are the points you should check.
| Fault : | Check whether : |
| The dryer does not start : | - The plug is in the socket - The On/Off button is pressed in - The door is properly closed - The condenser is correctly locked in place. |
| 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 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 (too low) : switch to the next programme up or increase the drying time. - The condenser is not blocked by fluff. |
| The laundry is too dry, too creased : | - The drying time selected is too long : the drying time is better to be too short than too long: this avoids the laundry becoming too dry and difficult to iron. |
| 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 em-p-tied it, re-insert it correctly, pushing it completely into its housing |
| The “Tank Full” indicator light illumina- tes although the tank is empty : | - Check whether the container has been properly insert- ted: push it in completely. - Check if the condenser is tightly locked on the two sides. |
