EN 1 / FOR THE USERS ATTENTION

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 go with it. Please take note of these safety instructions before installing and using your appliance. They have been drawn up for your safety and that of others.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS Installation When you take delivery of the appliance, unpack it or have it unpacked immediately. Check that it has not suffered any damage during transport. Express any reservations in writing on the delivery note and keep a copy. Never connect up a damaged appliance. If your appliance is damaged, please contact your dealer. Before proceeding to connect up your appliance, please refer to the Installation Instructions. Your tumble dryer must be kept disconnec- ted from the mains supply throughout the whole installation process. The electrical connection details shown on your appliances information plate must match the those of the local mains supply. Once your appliance has been installed, the plug must remain accessible. Do not alter or try to alter this appliances characteristics. This could be dangerous for you. If your installation requires alteration, only entrust the electrical and plumbing work to appropriately qualified electricians and plum- bers. The appliance must not be installed behind a locking door, a sliding door or a door with hin- ges 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 other purpose than the one for which it has been designed

Childrens 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. When you have unpacked your appliance, keep the packing out of childrens reach. Keep the packaging materials out of chil- drens reach (e.g.: plastic bags, polystyrene, etc.) because they can be dangerous for chil- dren: risk of suffocation.

Use Important : Your tumble dryer is designed only for

domestic use, for drying textiles suitable for tumble drying.

Important : You must observe the following instruc-

tions. We decline any responsibility and res- cind 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 your- self and damage to your items. Do not use sol- vents in the appliance (risk of fire and explo- sion). Precautions for using stain-removing pro- ducts: Any preliminary treatment with solvents, stain- removers or aerosols is forbidden 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 pro- ducts near to your dryer or, in general, near any electrical appliance in a poorly ventilated room in order to avoid any risk of an explosion. .

50

EN 1 / FOR THE USERS ATTENTION

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. If any incidents occur, which you cannot resolve using the troubleshooting advice we provide (see TROUBLESHOOTING), contact an appropriately qualified professional. Before disposing of your worn-out appliance, make it unusable. Unplug and cut off the power cable flush with the appliance and make the door lock inoperable. For your safetys sake, if you wish to change your appliances power cable, contact an appropria- tely qualified electrician. If any operating anomalies occur, disconnect your appliance and call your After-Sales Service.

ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION This appliances packaging material is recyclable. Help recycle it and protect the environment by dropping it off in the municipal receptacles provided for this purpose.

Your appliance also contains a great amount of recyclable material. It is marked with this label to indicate the used appliances that should not be mixed with other waste. This way, the appliance recycling organised by your manufacturer will be done under the best possi- ble conditions, in compliance with European Directive 2002/96/EC on Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment. Contact your town hall or your retailer for the used appliance collec-

tion points closest to your home. We thank you doing your part to protect the environment.

ENERGY SAVINGS Spin your textiles at high speeds; the residual dampness will be low, as will your energy consump- tion. Even synthetic textiles must be spun before drying. Place the maximum load in your machine; this will utilise energy optimally. When doing so, com- ply with the indications on volume we provide in this instructions manual. The drying time and the energy consumption are both increased by a high ambient temperature and too small a room. Clean the filter after each drying cycle. Clean the condenser twice a month.

EN 7 / TROUBLESHOOTING

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 programme 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 emp- tied it, re-insert it correctly, pushing it fully into its housing

The Tank Full indicator light illumina- tes although the tank is empty:

- Check whether the container has been properly inser- ted: push it in fully.

- Check if the condenser is tightly locked on the two sides.
