1 / FOR THE USERS ATTENTIONEN

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. This appliance is not intended for use by per- sons (including children) with reduced physi- cal, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concer- ning use of the appliance by a person respon- sible for their safety.

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). 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.

59

1 / FOR THE USERS ATTENTIONEN

Precautions for using stain-removing products : 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 products 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. 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 that in countries that are a members of the European Union the used appliances should not be mixed with other waste. This way, the appliance recycling orga- nised by your manufacturer will be done under the best possible 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 collection 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 consumption. 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.

THE APPLIANCES SURROUNDINGS

Important : We would strongly advise against :

Installing your appliance on a carpeted floor. If you cannot avoid this, take all possible mea- sures not to obstruct the circulation of air at its base. Installing your dryer in a location where it could be subject to being splashed with water. Installing your dryer in a small closed room (if this is the case, open the door or the win- dow during drying) Installing your dryer in a poorly ventilated room. The temperature in the room must remain below 30C during drying.

1 cm mini

Advice : Your tumble dryer releases heat. If you place it next to another appliance or a unit, we would

advise you always to leave a space in-between to assist air circulation (Fig. 02).

Important : Use a spirit level to check that the

appliance is horizontal :

Your dryer is fitted with 4 adjustable feet (Fig.03). To adjust its horizontality and stability : Tip it slightly backwards Screw one or more of the feet in or out using a spanner or a screwdriver to adjust their height to suit the shape of the floor (Fig.03) Set your dryer back on its feet and check that it is stable.

We cannot be held responsible for any incident caused by poor electrical installation.

Advice : In order to find your appliances reference numbers easily in future, we recommend that

you note them down on the After-Sales Service and Consumer Relations page (this page also explains where to find these on your appliance).

Your appliance complies with European Directives 2006/95/EEC (Low Voltage Directive) and 2004/108/EEC (Electromagnetic Compatibility).

REPLACING THE ELECTRIC POWER CABLE

Important : To ensure your safety, this must be carried out by the manufacturer's after-sales service

team or a qualified professional.

65

4 / PREPARING YOUR ITEMSEN

Advice : If, before you insert your laundry in the

tumble dryer, you notice any stains, even after washing, do not dry the items concer- ned. As a general rule, stains that have been ironed or tumble-dried can no longer be removed. Please refer to the instructions for treating stubborn stains provided in most washing machine operating instructions manuals and, in particular, wash the stained items again.

Preparing your items : Close all zip fasteners and press studs. Remove any loose buttons, pins or hook fasteners. Knot any belts, apron strings, etc... Empty the pockets.

Special notes on steam programs : Sort the laundry by fabric type Do not mix new coloured fabrics with white fabrics.

Important : Check the labels on your texti-

les

Open the door by pushing (press where the label is) (Fig. 05). Check that the filter is in its housing . Insert the washed and spun laundry loosely in the drum without folding it or piling it up. Take care not to let any fabrics get caught in the door. Close the door.

Recommended volumes : The maximum capacity of the dryer is 8 kg. To reduce creasing and optimise drying times, we recommend you do not overload the machine. To optimise the performance of the wrinkle- removing cycles, we recommend that you limit the quantity of laundry.

Important : Do not tumble-dry the following

articles : Plastic-coated fabrics Chlorofibres (Thermolactyl* for example) *Registered trademark Items containing plastic foam, rubber or underwiring that could become detached Bulky items (duvets, eiderdowns, etc...) Laundry that has not been spun Laundry cleaned with inflammable chemi- cals.

5 / PROGRAMMINGEN

"STEAM" PROGRAMS Your appliance is equipped with 3 programs :

- Steam Cotton - Steam Mixed - Steam refresh

Thanks to their steam action, the "Cotton" and "Mixed" programs allow you to gently remove wrin- kles from your laundry and soften creases, whether the fabric was air dried or put through the dryer. As a result, your ironing becomes faster and easier and some items can even be put away without ironing. The Steam refresh program lets you "air out" and freshen laundry that has been shut away in a closet.

Important : These programs can only be used for laundry that is already dry, just before ironing. We

recommend that you do not exceed the recommended load (see chart on following pages).

Important : The steam programs should not be used with the following textiles: knitted wool; leather;

clothing with metal, wood or plastic notions; clothing made from metal that may rust; oilskin or other similarly coated garments.

Important : The Steam tank is empty when your appliance is delivered. Before using the Steam pro-

gram for the first time, fill the tank with demineralised water or with water from the recovery tank (see how to proceed in the "EVERYDAY MAINTENANCE" chapter).

Important : Before starting a Steam program ensure that :

The amount of water contained in the tank is above the "Min." level The drying filter has been cleaned

Cotton program : Thanks to the combined action of steam and laundry tumbling, this program allows you to rid "Cotton"-type textiles of wrinkles to facili- tate their ironing. This program lasts 18 minutes. Choose your program using the Programs knob . The blue crescent around the pro- grams knob, "Steam" and "Cotton" flashes. Validate by pressing the "Start/Pause" button

Les temps de schage sont trop longs :

- The filter in the drum is clogged with fluff. - The condenser is not clogged. - The filter and condenser housings are not clogged or

soiled. - The laundry has been spun enough beforehand

(500rpm minimum, but spinning at 850rpm provides better drying times).

- The room temperature is not too high, particularly if the room is small: if needed, open the door or win- dow.

- The air inlets and outlets are unobstructed enough to ensure correct air circulation. - The selected drying program does indeed correspond

to the type of laundry 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.

Fault : Check whether :

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.

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.

The "Empty tank" indicator is lit up: - The steam tank is empty: after emptying it, put it back into position, pressing it firmly into the housing. The program picks up where it had stopped.
