Your New Tumble Dryer
This tumble dryer will give your wash that soft, relaxed feel whatever
the weather.
Extremely high quality standards both during development and
manufacturing guarantee a long service life for your appliance.
Maximum economy in the operation of your dryer is achieved through
very frugal electricity consumption and short drying times.

are
as small loads are uneconomical.
I
Always load well spun laundry. The higher the
spin speed, the lower the electricity consumption
and the shorter the drying times.
Check with your local Council or Environmental
Health Office to see if there are facilities in your
area for re-cycling this appliance.
I
I
I
I
I
Do not over-dry laundry, this avoids creasing and
saves energy.
When the appliance is to be scrapped, cut off the
power supply cable and make the door closing
device unusable to prevent young children from
being trapped inside.
Clean the filter regularly to avoid excessive drying
times and high electricity consumption.
Help to keep your country tidy - use authorised
disposal sites for your old appliance.
Ventilate the room well. The room temperature
should not exceed +35°C during drying.
How do we help to protect the
environment? We use recycled paper!

1 Programme Chart
This will help you to select the correct time for
drying.
3 Drying Time Selector Dial
The selector dial incorporates two drying cycles, one
of up to 120 minutes at a high temperature for cotton
and linen, and one of up to 80 minutes at a low
temperature for synthetic fabrics.
2 Mains-On Light
This lights up when the machine starts operating and
goes out at the end of the programme.
To set the machine to the selected time, turn the dial
clockwise until the time you want coincides exactly
with the pointer.
NEVER attempt to turn the dial in an anticlockwise
direction.
When selecting the drying time, you should
remember that it includes a 10 minute cooling phase
(position
on the dial).
This phase should not be shortened, stopped or
avoided, as this could cause skin burns or damages to
the laundry.

Operating Sequence
Before using your tumble dryer for the first time, we
recommend to place a few damp cloths inside the
appliance and dry for approximately 20 minutes.
There may be dust inside a brand new tumble dryer.
1. Load the laundry
Open the door by pulling the door handle forwards.
Load the items one at a time, shaking them out
loosely and close the door.
Please check the laundry does not get caught between
the door and filter.
P0305
2. Select the drying time
Turn the selector dial clockwise to the desired time
(in the high or low temperature range, according to
the fabrics). The mains-on light illuminates and the
programme starts.

P0486S
3. When drying is completed
The machine stops automatically and the mains-on
light goes out.
Open the door and take out the laundry.
Clean the filter after every drying programme.
A clean filter ensures correct functioning of the
appliance.

Hints & Tips on Drying
I
Before placing articles of laundry in your tumble
dryer, check the care labels to ensure they are
recommended for tumble drying.
Always load well spun laundry. The higher the
spin speed the lower the electricity consumption
and the shorter the drying time.
I
DO NOT load dripping wet laundry into the
dryer. Roll the article in a towel or spin to remove
excess water.
Care Labels you may find on your laundry
normal drying (high temperature)
delicate drying (low temperature)
may be tumble dried
I
I
Close poppers and zips and fasten any buttons.
Sort the laundry. Separate synthetics from
cotton/linens, and dry separately.
I
I
Remove the laundry immediately after the
programme has finished.
do not tumble dry
Use a fabric conditioning sheet to reduce static.
We recommend the sheet is pinned to an article of
laundry (using a safety pin).
Do not overload the appliance.
Here is a list of the approximate weight of some
common laundry items.
I
I
Mix the load i.e. large and small articles.
When drying large items such as sheets, we
recommend you periodically stop the dryer to
redistribute the load.
Sheet
700 to 1000 g
Pillowcase
Tablecloth
Table Napkin
Kitchen Towel
Linen Hand Towel
Hand Towel
Bath Towel
Bathrobe
100 to 200 g
400 to 500 g
50 to 100 g
DO NOT use the tumble dryer to dry the
following:
70 to 120 g
100 to 150 g
150 to 250 g
700 to 1000 g
1000 to 1500 g
200 to 300 g
150 to 200 g
I
Articles contaminated with inflammable
substances e.g. petrol, cleaning solvents, cooking
oil, fats or hair lacquer.
I
Woollen and synthetic/wool mixtures unless the
item is labelled as suitable for tumble drying.
Shirt
Apron
I
Very delicate articles such as silk.
I
Very large and bulky items such as duvets or
sleeping bags.

Maintenance and Cleaning
You must disconnect the appliance from the electricity
supply, before you can carry out any cleaning or
maintenance work.
External cleaning
Use only soap and water and then dry thoroughly.
From time to time, apply a little wax furniture cream
with a soft cloth.
Important: do not use methylated spirit, diluents or
similar products.
Cleaning the door
Clean periodically the interior part of the door to
remove any fluff.
Accurate cleaning ensures correct drying.
P0328
Cleaning the filter
Your dryer will only function well if the filter is clean.
The filter collects all the fluff which accumulates
during drying and it must therefore be cleaned at the
end of each programme, before removing the
laundry, with a damp cloth.
The filter cannot be removed.
P0767
Do not be alarmed by the amount of fluff. It is not due
to excessive wear caused by the dryer. All fabric
looses fluff when drying but it goes un-noticed in the
air. In a tumble dryer it simply collects in the filter.
10

This appliance complies with the following E.E.C. Directives:
- 73/23 EEC of 19.2.73 (Low Voltage Directive) and subsequent modifications;
- 89/336 EEC of 3.5.89 (Electromagnetic Compatibility Directive) and subsequent modifications.

Positioning
It is recommended that, for your convenience, the
machine is positioned close to your washing machine.
Whilst drying, the tumble dryer will expel a certain
amount of warm, very moist air, and this should be
removed from the room as quickly as possible to
prevent condensation. In an extremely well ventilated
room or close to an open window, this may occur
naturally.
However, in general, it is better to carry the dryer's
exhaust outside via a 100 mm diameter flexible hose
available trough your dealer; ending either
temporarily at an open window, or permanently at a
fixed ventilation grille, fitted to an exterior wall or
window.
The tumble dryer must be installed in a clean place,
where dirt does not build up.
Make sure there are no obstructing items or material
near the air-intake louvres provided at
the back (e.g. paper, rags etc.).
To keep vibration and noise to a minimum when the
dryer is in use, it should be placed on a firm, level
surface.
Once in its permanent operating position, check that
the dryer is absolutely level with the aid of a spirit
level. If it is not, raise or lower the two adjustable feet
at the front of the machine until it is.
The feet must never be removed.
P0046
Do not restrict the floor clearance through deep-
pile carpets, strips of wood or similar. This might
cause heat build-up which would interfere with
the operation of the appliance.
Important
When operating the tumble dryer, the room
temperature must not exceed 35°C, as it may affect
the performance of the appliance.
Fitting the vent hose
To simplify the installation, there is a choice of vent
outlets: one at the back, the others in the left and
right-hand side.
A
Connect the hose to whichever is the more
convenient by pulling the ring nut (A) from the vent
outlet at the back, screwing it on to the hose and
pushing it firmly back into place.
The unused vents should now be sealed with the
special snap covers provided.

Advice: If the hose is long and the room temperature
low, the moisture might condense to water inside the
hose. This is an unavoidable natural phenomenon.
To prevent this water from lying in the hose or
flowing back into the tumble dryer, it is advisable to
drill a small hole (dia. 3 mm) in the lowest point of
the hose and to place a small container below it.(See
picture, point B).

P1056
Once connected to the dryer, run the vent hose to the
desired outlet point, ensuring that the run’s overall
length is less than 2 m, and that it contains no more
than two bends. As to the outlet itself, if you have
decided on a fixed wall/window grille, a good local
builder’s merchant should be able to supply you with
the necessary fittings and installation advice.
It is important not to connect the vent
hose to, for example, a cooker hood, or
a chimney or flue pipe designed to
carry the exhaust from a fuel burning
appliance.
P0055
Note that to avoid condensation problems, it is
essential that the dryer be fitted with the flexible hose
to carry its “exhaust” at least beyond the kitchen units;
preferable outside the kitchen.
In order to prevent the appliance from overheating, it
is important that the steam exhaust is unobstructed.
Therefore, in case of a permanent hose fitted to an
exterior wall or ceiling, it must be ensured an exhaust
capacity of at least 150 m3/h.
If the dryer is fitted next to kitchen units, make
sure that the vent hose is not squashed. If the hose
is partially squashed, drying efficiency will be
reduced, resulting in longer drying times and
higher energy consumption.
If the hose is completely squashed, the safety cut-
outs with which the machine is fitted may operate.
