FOIRE AUX QUESTIONS - SIWATHERM C6 SIEMENS

Que faire si le sèche-linge ne démarre pas ?

Vérifiez que l'appareil est branché et que le bouton Start/Stop a été enfoncé. Assurez-vous que la porte et le volet de maintenance sont bien fermés. Si le fusible a sauté, remplacez-le. La température ambiante ne doit pas être inférieure à 5 °C.

Comment nettoyer le filtre à peluches ?

Ouvrez la porte, retirez le filtre en le tirant vers le haut, enlevez les peluches à la main. En cas d'encrassement important, rincez-le à l'eau tiède et séchez-le soigneusement avant de le remettre en place. Nettoyez-le après chaque cycle.

Pourquoi le temps de séchage est-il trop long ?

Les causes possibles sont : filtre à peluches bouché, unité de condensation encrassée, réservoir d'eau plein, température ambiante supérieure à 30 °C, manque de ventilation. Nettoyez le filtre et le condenseur, videz le réservoir et assurez une bonne aération.

Comment utiliser le panier à laine ?

Le panier à laine permet de sécher les pulls en laine et les baskets. Placez le panier horizontalement dans le tambour vide, insérez les vêtements sans les tasser. Sélectionnez le programme Drying basket et réglez la durée (par ex. 80 min pour un pull fin). Ne dépassez pas 2h30.

Comment vider le réservoir d'eau ?

Retirez le réservoir en le tenant à l'horizontale, videz l'eau dans un évier. Remettez-le en place jusqu'à ce qu'il s'enclenche. Ne buvez pas cette eau. Si le voyant Vider réservoir s'allume, videz-le dans les 90 minutes.

Que faire en cas de voyant 'Nettoyer filtre' allumé alors que le filtre est propre ?

Rincez le filtre à l'eau tiède et séchez-le soigneusement. Vérifiez également l'unité de condensation : si elle est obstruée, nettoyez-la. Si le problème persiste, consultez la notice ou le service après-vente.

Comment inverser le sens d'ouverture de la porte ?

Dévissez les charnières, retirez la porte et inversez la position du loquet et des charnières. Utilisez un tournevis Torx T10 et T20. Serrez toutes les vis à la main. Reportez-vous à la notice pour les étapes détaillées.

L'ampoule intérieure ne fonctionne plus, comment la changer ?

Débranchez l'appareil. Ouvrez la porte, dévissez le cache-ampoule (vis Torx T20) et remplacez l'ampoule par une neuve de 15 W pour E14. Revissez le cache. N'utilisez pas de tournevis électrique.

Pourquoi de l'eau s'écoule-t-elle du sèche-linge ?

Vérifiez l'étanchéité des joints de porte et du volet de maintenance. Nettoyez ou remplacez les joints si nécessaire. Assurez-vous que le réservoir d'eau est correctement inséré et que le tuyau de vidange n'est pas plié (si installé).

Comment activer le verrouillage enfant ?

Sélectionnez un programme, puis appuyez sur le bouton Menu jusqu'à ce que le symbole de verrouillage clignote. Utilisez le bouton Change pour activer la fonction. Pour désactiver, maintenez Start/Stop enfoncé pendant 4 secondes.

Every dryer which leaves our factory is carefully check- ked to ensure that it functions correctly and is in perfect condition. Our customer service will be happy to help you should you have any questions - especially regarding installation.

Further information and a selection of our products can be found on our website:

http://www.siemensappliances.co.uk

Notes on disposal

Disposing of packaging

Danger of suffocation

There is a danger of suffocation from the cardboard box and plastic film.

Do not allow children to play with the packaging.

All the packaging materials are environmentally friendly and recyclable. Please dispose of the packaging in an environmentally responsible manner.

Your local dealer or local authority will be able to advise you about the disposal methods which are currently available.

Disposing of the old dryer

Danger

The old dryer is dangerous due to the electrical voltage and the risk of suffocation.

Your old dryer:

• Pull off the mains plug.
• Cut off the mains cable and discard along with the plug.
• Break the door lock. This prevents children from locking themselves in the dryer.

Environmentally-friendly disposal conserves valuable raw materials.

Your local dealer or local authority will be able to advise you about the disposal methods which are currently available.

Safety information

Using your dryer correctly

• Only for domestic use.
• Only for drying fabrics washed in water.
• Do not leave children unsupervised near the dryer.

Risk of explosion/fire

Solvent danger.

Do not use the dryer if:

• the laundry has been treated with a solvent or has been colour-treated (e.g. stain remover, petroleum ether).

Dust danger

Do not use the dryer if:

• the laundry contains dust, e.g. coal dust or flour
• the laundry contains foam/rubber
• the laundry contains traces of hairspray, nail varnish remover or similar substances.

Before using the dryer

Install the dryer in accordance with the installation instructions (see page 40).
- Do not connect the dryer if it has visible signs of damage. If in doubt, contact your local dealer.

Drying your laundry

• Do not leave children unsupervised near the dryer.
• Keep pets away from the dryer.
• Remove all objects from pockets, especially lighters - risk of explosion.

End of programme

• Switch off the dryer when the programme has ended.

Looking after your dryer

• Do not climb onto the dryer.
• Do not lean or sit on the door - the dryer may tip over.
• Do not use detergent boosters containing solvents or dirt and stain removers near the dryer. These substances may damage the dryer.
• Do not lift the dryer by any of the projecting parts - they may break off - risk of injury.
• Empty the dryer completely before transporting it or placing it in storage (see page 29).
  i Do not install the dryer in a room where there is a risk of freezing.

Notes on environmental protection/economical drying

Environmentally-friendly and economical drying

• Spin the laundry thoroughly before drying. Spin the laundry thoroughly in the washing machine before drying. The higher the spin speed, the shorter the drying time and the lower the energy consumption.
  You should also spin easy-care laundry.
• Use optimum capacities
• Use the maximum recommended capacities. Do not exceed the capacities (see the table of programmes from page 16 onwards).
• Ensure good room ventilation Open a window or door while drying laundry.
• Clean the filter. Clean the filter after each drying cycle (see page 30).
• Keep the condenser unit clean (see page 32).
• Do not obstruct the cooling air supply
• Do not block or seal the ventilation grille.

Description of the dryer

The dryer works on the principle of condensation. The condensation produced during the drying cycle is collected in a container. The container should be emptied after each drying cycle.

Simple to use

The water container does not have a lock on it. Simply turn the container upside down to empty it. A pipe inserted in the outlet prevents water from overflowing.

The door is easily opened and closed by pressing on the press-release mechanism.

The door may also be opened during the drying cycle.

Laundry information

Fabric symbols

Check the following fabric symbols:

~一~ drying at normal temperature.
= drying at a lower temperature: Press the Low heat button too or select (super delicate drying).

空 = do not tumble - dry.

Do not tumble-dry the following fabrics:

• Airtight fabrics (e.g. rubber-coated fabrics).
• Delicate materials (silk, curtains made from synthetic material) - they may crease.
• Dripping-wet laundry - high energy consumption.
• Wool or fabrics containing wool, unless you use the woollens basket (see page 24).
• Observe the manufacturer's instructions.

Drying tips

Important for all drying cycles:

• To obtain a uniform drying result, sort the laundry by fabric type and drying programme.
• Fasten zips, hooks and eyes. Tie loose belts, apron strings etc, together.
• Do not over-dry easy-care laundry: This may result in creasing. Allow laundry to finish drying in the air.
• Do not iron laundry immediately after drying. Leave laundry folded up for a short while. This helps the residual moisture to distribute evenly.
• Knitted fabrics (e.g. T-shirts, jackets) often shrink slightly the first time they are tumble-dried. Do not use the "Very dry"/"Extra dry" programmes.

Preparing to use your dryer

Please read through this instruction manual carefully before using the dryer for the first time.
