Safety instructions

Energy saving

Your dryer was designed exclusively for domestic use, to dry machine-dryable fabrics.

Spin your washing at high speed, which will reduce residual humidity and energy consumption too. Synthetic fabrics should also be spun before drying.

Load your machine to maximum for optimal use of energy. To do this, use the recommended volumes indicated in this booklet.

High ambient temperatures and small rooms increase drying times and electricity consumption.

Make sure that the ventilation grill on the front of the machine is always clean and free of obstacles.

The following instructions must be strictly complied with. We decline all responsibility and will terminate any guarantee if these recommendations are ignored, which may cause damage to persons or property.

Use your machine as indicated in this manual; this will avoid damage to persons and washing. Dont use solvents inside the dryer (danger of fire and explosion)

Stain removal products. All preliminary treatment with solvents, stain removers and aerosols is strictly forbidden as they are highly inflammable products. If items require such treatment, it should be carried out before washing. We also advise you not to use such products near your dryer or other electrical appliances in general in poorly ventilated areas, in order to avoid the risk of explosion.

Scrupulously follow the drying instructions on the labels on your washing.

If you have to open the door of the drum during a drying cycle, be careful not to touch the drum immediately, as it will be very hot.

In the case of anomalies that you cant eliminate by following the instructions in section What to do if, contact a qualified professional.

Dont allow children to play with the machine and keep pets away from it.

Before disposing of your dryer render it unusable. Disconnect and cut the power cable at its entry to the machine. Put the door handle out of use.

Think of the environment. Ask your dealer or local authorities about procedures for scrapping used dryers.

If you want to change the power cable, contact a qualified professional.

Dont touch the back panel of the dryer while its working, as it may be very hot.

Installation area (A):

Your dryer emits heat. If you put it next to another appliance or item of furniture, we recommend leaving space between the two for air to circulate (A).

We strongly advise against:

- installing your dryer on a carpeted floor. If you cant avoid doing so, take the necessary steps to ensure adequate circulation of air under the base.

- installing your dryer where it may be exposed to splashes of water;

- installing your dryer in a small closed room (if this is the case, open a door or window during the drying cycle);

- installing your dryer in an inadequately ventilated room; ambient temperature should be under 35 C during drying.

Levelling (B):

Use a level to check the floor is horizontal. The maximum allowed inclination is 1.5 (ie. about 1 cm with respect to the width and depth of the dryer). Your dryer has four adjustable feet (B).

To adjust level and stability:

- tip slightly backwards;

- use a wrench or pair of pliers to screw or unscrew, depending on the floor, one or more of the feet to adjust height (B);

- put the dryer back on four feet and check stability.

Building in Reversing the door Your dryer can be recessed. See the drawing below (A) for recess dimensions.

For safety reasons, a metal top must be applied to the top of your dryer. You can obtain one from your dealer.

Make sure the dryer is unplugged before carrying out the following operations.

Proceed as follows:

- unscrew and remove the screws on the rear of the work top;

- push the work top back till it stops;

- lift the work top off;

- unscrew and remove the plastic pins (1) on the side walls of the dryer and remove the tie-rods (2);

- fit on the metal top (3) which ensures protection in the case of accidental contact with live parts;

- position the dryer in its recess, aligning it with the adjacent units and making sure it is completely underneath the work top.

Column installation (A): Your dryer can be easily stacked on top of a front-loading washing machine.

This requires a stacking kit (frame and suction pads) available from your dealer. Dont forget to adjust the feet during installation.

Power supply, (B): Electrical connection must be to NF C15- 100, especially regarding the earthing system. Line: 3 x 2.5 mm2, 230 V, connecting to:

- a meter: 20 A, 230 V 50 Hz; - a differential circuit breaker and individual

16 A fuse; - a power outlet: 16 A, 2-pole + earth.

Tips on electrical connection of your appliance:

Contact a qualified professional for replacement of the power cable.

The dryers technical characteristics data are on the serial number plate on the back of the machine. - the power outlet must be easily accessible

but out of reach of children; - dont use extensions, adaptors or multiple

sockets; - never disconnect the earth system.

We cannot be held responsible for any accident caused by improper electrical installation. If in doubt, contact your installer.

Laundry preparation

Dont dry the following in your dryer: - plasticized fabrics; - chloro-fibres (eg. Termolactyl*)

* registered trademark; - garments containing plastic foam, rubber

or reinforcements that might become detached;

- bulky items (duvets, quilts, etc.); - laundry that hasnt been spun; - laundry thats been cleaned with inflam-

mable chemical products.

Normal drying

Delicate drying

Do not tumble dry

Check the state of your fabrics: If, after washing and before putting the laundry in the dryer, you notice stains, dont dry the stained items, because stains that are then ironed or dried in a dryer usually cant be removed. Refer to the instructions that most washing machine manuals give on removal of difficult stains and, most importantly, wash the items again.

How to prepare laundry items: - close all zips and press studs;

- remove loose buttons, broaches, clips;

- do up belts, aprons strings, etc.;

- empty pockets.

Check labels on fabrics:

Recommended volumes: To reduce creasing and optimise drying times we advise keeping within a maximum of 6 kg of cotton and 3 kg of synthetic/delicate fibres.

- 6 kg of cotton corresponds to the volume of a full drum (items uncompressed);

- 3 kg of synthetic/delicate fibres corre- sponds to the volume of a half drum;

- 1,5 kg of synthetic/delicate fibres corre- sponds to the volume of a quarter drum.

Before the first drying cycle, clean the inside of the drum with a damp cloth to remove any dust that may have deposited.

Putting the laundry into the drum: - open the door by pulling the handle

outwards; - check the filter is in its housing; - put the washed and spun laundry into the

drum without compressing it; - close the door.

How to use the drying programmes

On/Off Programme switch

Anti-crease exclusion Start

Important: remember that if theres a power failure or if the door is opened during a drying cycle, the appliance will automatically restart once the initial conditions are restored. On completion of the drying cycle, a cool air ventilation phase will start automatically. After this, four acoustic signals will tell you the cycle has ended. If you havent selected the Anti-crease exclusion option, the 60 minute anti-crease phase will now start. During this stage the laundry may be taken out at any time.

LedDescription Programming a drying cycle: press the ON/OFF button (acoustic signal); if you want a delayed start, choose one of the four programmed

delay times (1 to 4) before setting the programme and wait 3 seconds. An acoustic signal will tell you when your choice has been accepted;

now choose a programme by turning the switch to the desired setting;

the Anti-crease exclusion option may be chosen at this point; press the Start button*, an acoustic signal will tell you drying has

begun. * the Start button doesnt stay pressed down.

Adding or removing an item during a drying cycle: open the door; add or remove laundry *; press the Start button (acoustic signal).

* be careful not to scald yourself.

Modifying a drying cycle in progress: set the pointer on the switch to Stop and wait for the acoustic

signal; choose another programme; restart the drying cycle (see above).

Cancelling a drying cycle in progress: press the ON/OFF button at any time during drying.

Maintaining your dryers performance: clean the filter after each cycle (the Filter led lights up at the end

of the cycle); empty the tank after each cycle; clean the condenser once a month.

Routine maintenance

Its important to remember that the filter must be cleaned after each cycle. The filter is in the bottom part of the opening of your dryer.

To clean it: - pull the filter upwards out of its housing

(A); - clean it by removing the thin layer of fluff

covering it (B)

Use a piece of crumpled plush fabric to remove fibres from the filter.

Under no circumstances must it be cleaned with water (C).

- replace it in its housing , pushing down well.

Cleaning the dryer: The only acceptable way to clean the control panel, the access to the drum and the bodywork is with a wet sponge or cloth and some liquid soap.

In any case, never use (E): abrasive powders; metallic or plastic pads; alcohol based products (alcohol, diluents, etc.)

Cleaning the humidity probes (D): If you have an electronic dryer, a layer of scale may deposit on the probes (inside the drum, on top of the stainless steel blade). Remove by wiping the probes with a cloth soaked in vinegar

Maintaining the condensation water container and condenser Emptying the condensation water container: The container is in the bottom part of the machine. It collects the water extracted from the laundry during the wash. To empty it, open the skirting flap and remove the container from its housing by pulling outward (A and B).

The container must emptied after each drying cycle.

If this isnt done, the next cycle will be interrupted; around 20 seconds after youve emptied and replaced the container, the cycle resumes and the container full led goes out.

Risk of freezing: If there is a risk of freezing, empty the water container.

Moving the dryer: If you want to move or tilt the machine, empty the water container.

Cleaning the condenser

The condenser should be cleaned twice a month.

Take the plug out before cleaning the condenser.

- open the skirting flap on the front of the machine (A);

- remove the condenser panel by sliding the locking devices towards one another in the direction of the arrows (C);

- turn the lever 90 to free the condenser (D);

- remove the condenser (E);

- free it from fluff;

- rinse with tap water only (F);

- after cleaning, make sure all the tubes are unblocked and that the fins are clean;

- dry it summarily;

- remove all deposits of fibre from the surface of the condenser housing and around the water discharge hole (F);

- replace the container in its housing, secure it and put the cover and skirting back on.

Important: when you remount the condenser, keep it firmly pressed against the bottom of its housing whilst securing it.

What to do if

Malfunction Check that:

the drum filter isnt covered with fluff; the condenser isnt covered with scale; the laundry has been well spun (min. 500 rpm; 850 rpm

shortens drying time); the ambient temperature isnt too high (especially if the

room is small); if necessary open the door or window; the air intake and vent are free enough to ensure proper

circulation.

the drum filter isnt covered with fluff; the selected type of drying is right; if necessary, choose

a drier programme; the condenser isnt blocked with fluff.

The following malfunctions may occur when using your dryer. Here are some solutions.

Drying times are too long. Check that:

The laundry is too damp. Check that:

the laundry is sufficiently separated before going into the drum;

the drum isnt too full.

Drying isnt even. Check that:

the laundry isnt too dry. you have used a softener in the wash;

softeners solve much of the problem with static.

Synthetic items are charged with static electricity. Check that:

the condensation water container is full; having emptied it, correctly put it back and secure it to the bottom of its housing.

The container full led is on. Check whether:

your dryer is horizontal.The container full led comes on during a cycle when the container is only partly full. Check that:

The dryer doesnt start. Check that:

the fuses are in perfect condition; its plugged in properly; youve pressed the on/off or start button; youve closed the door properly; the condenser is well screwed in; the condensation water container is empty and properly

positioned; the filter is in its housing properly.
