appliance. Do not obstruct the front ventilation
grille or the air intake grilles at the back of the
machine.
The feet must never be removed.
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.
P1044
Important
The hot air emitted by the tumble dryer can reach
temperatures of up to 60°C. The appliance must
therefore not be installed on floors which are not
resistant to high temperatures.
Connecting a drain hose
If there is a sink or drain near the appliance, the
condensed water can be discharged directly
through a hose that is available on the market.

The laundry must be suitably spun in your washing machine before being placed in the tumble dryer
(800 rpm minimum). If the washing machine spins at a lower speed than 800 rpm, it is advisable to
buy a spin-dryer.
Drying times are given as a guide only and vary according to the size of the load, the type of laundry,
the degree of spinning prior to drying.
Start by selecting a short drying time. If necessary, perform an additional drying cycle afterwards.
Experience will soon enable you to estimate the drying time needed for your usual laundry loads. It is
advisable to take note of them.
Size of load
It is not necessary to weigh the laundry, if these instructions are followed:
■ Cottons, linen: full drum, but not overloaded.
■ Synthetics: half drum.
■ Particularly delicate fabrics: do not fill the drum more than 1/3.
For a mixed load (cotton and synthetics, for example) select the drying time suitable for the most
delicate fabrics and then increase it by approx 10 mins.
8
■ Knitted textiles (knitted underwear) may shrink
a little during drying. Please do not overdry
items of this type. It is advisable to allow for
shrinkage when choosing the size of new
purchases.
i
Useful hints
■ Try to load to the maximum capacity of the
machine as small loads are uneconomical.
For information, here is a list of the average
weights of some common laundry items.
■ You can also put starched items into your
dryer. However, to achieve the desired
starched effect, choose the programme “iron
dry”. To remove any starch residues, wipe out
the internal drum after drying with a moist cloth
and then rub it dry.

■ If individual items are still damp after drying,
set a brief post-drying time, but at least 20
minutes. This will be necessary particularly for
multilayered items (e.g. collars, pockets, etc.).
Man’s pyjamas
Ladies’ nightdress
■ Never tumble dry the following:
Particularly delicate items such as net curtains,
woollen, silk, fabrics with metal trim, nylon
tights, bulky materials such as anoraks,
blankets, eiderdowns, sleeping bags, feather
quilts and any items containing rubber foam or
materials similar to rubber foam.
■ Always follow the instructions on garment
labels.
normal drying (high temperature)
delicate drying (low temperature)
do not tumble dry
■ Close pillowcases and covers with fasteners to
prevent small laundry items getting tangled
inside them. Close press studs, zips and hooks
and tie belts and apron strings.
■ Sort laundry according to type and degree of
drying required.
■ Do not over-dry laundry, this avoids creasing
and saves energy.
■ Avoid drying dark clothes with light coloured
fluffy items such as towels as they could attract
the fluff.
■ The laundry must be thoroughly spun before
tumble drying.
■ Easy-care items, too, e.g. shirts, should be
briefly pre-spun before drying (depending on
crease resistance approx. 30 seconds or using
the special brief spin programme of your
washing machine).

i
Drying sequence
Before starting up for the first time it is advisable
lo load a few moist cloths into the dryer and to let
it run for about 20 minutes. This ensures that no
dust and dirt is left in the drum.
Operation
1. Connect the appliance.
2. Load the laundry.
3. Close the door.
4. Select the desired drying time (in high or low
temperature section, depending on the
laundry).

: the programme starts.
on the dial is reached, the
heating is automatically cut off and the laundry is
cooled.
After around 10 minutes, the programme is over.
Important: It is not advisable to open the door
during operation to check the degree of dryness.
As the laundry is warm, when touched it gives
the impression of still being damp, even if it is
dry. Open the door after the programme has
finished.
P0918
If the programme has to be interrupted, it is
advisable to perform the cooling phase to
prevent the heat from building up inside the
machine.
After drying
■ Switch off the appliance.
■ Clean the filter and empty water container
(see pages 11 and 12).

MAINTENANCE
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.
Important: do not use methylated spirit, diluents
or similar products.
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 with a
damp cloth.
P1026
Pull the filter upwards to extract it and remove
the fluff. Then refit the filter.
Do not be alarmed by the amount of fluff. It is not
due to excessive wear caused by the dryer. All
fabric loses fluff when drying but it goes un-
noticed in the air. In a tumble dryer it simply
collects in the filter.
Remove the fluff around the filter and around
the seat of the condenser in the inner door
using a damp cloth.
Cleaning condenser
Remove fluff from the condenser regularly
according to how frequently the machine is used
and to the type of laundry being dried. However it
should always be cleaned when deposits of fluff
can be seen.
Extract the condenser using the top handle;
remove fluff with a hand-held shower head or a
soft brush.
P0639
P0636
Attention: never use the tumble dryer without
the condenser.
11
Emptying water container
Water extracted from the laundry being dried is
collected in a special container.
This container must be emptied after every
cycle.
Important: should the container be filled during a
drying programme, the corresponding light will
light up on the panel to indicate that the container
has to be emptied. The time selector dial rotates
to position “O”, but the drying cycle is not
completed. In this case, after emptying out the
container, the remaining drying time has to be
selected again.
P0637
Insert container correctly.
Attention: After this procedure, before the dryer
resumes the operation, for a few seconds it could
remain still and the “water container full” light
could remain on.
Note:
The water collected in the container can be used
in a steam iron provided it is filtered (for example
with a strainer or a coffee filter).
