9. Close door in plinth.

CAUTION!

Never operate the dryer without the heat exchanger.

Cleaning the drum

CAUTION!

Use a standard domestic cleaner (e.g. vinegar-based cleaner) to wipe down the inside of the drum and drum ribs.

30

Care and cleaning

Clean operating screen and housing

Changing the bulb for interior lighting

Only use a special bulb which is designed specially for dryers. The special bulb can be obtained from the Customer Care Department, ET no. 112 552 000-5.

When the appliance is switched on, the interior lighting switches itself off after 4 minutes when the door is open.

WARNING!

Do not use standard bulbs! These develop too much heat and may damage the machine!

WARNING!

Before replacing the bulb, disconnect the mains plug.

1. Unscrew cover above the bulb (this can be found directly behind the loading aperture, at the top; refer to “Description of machine” section.)

2. Replace defective bulb.

3. Screw cover back down.

Check the correct positioning of o-ring gasket before screwing back the door light cover. Do not operate the dryer when missing o-ring gasket on door light cover.

WARNING!

For safety reasons, the cover must be screwed down tightly. If this is not done, the dryer must not be operated.

Water hardness

Water contains, a variable quantity of limestone and mineral salts of which quantities vary according to geographical locations thus varying its conductivity values.

Relevant variations of the conductivity of the water compared to those prefixed by the factory could slightly influence the residual humidity of the laundry at the end of the cycle. Your dryer allows you to regulate the sensitivity of the drying sensor based on conductivity values of the water.

Emptying water tank - warning message permanent off

Hints for test institutes

Hints for test institutes

Parameters possible to checked by the Test Institutes:

• Energy consumption (corrected with final humidity) during the cupboard dry cotton cycle with nominal load.

• Energy consumption (corrected with final humidity) during the cupboard dry cotton cycle with half load.

• Final humidity (during Cupboard dry cotton, Iron dry cotton and Cupboard dry

Easy care)

• Condensation efficiency (corrected with final humidity) during cupboard dry cotton cycle with nominal and half load

All the cycles have to be checked in accordance with IEC 61121 (Tumble dryers for household use – Methods for measuring the performance).

Installation

Appliance positioning

• It is recommended that, for your convenience, the machine is positioned close to your washing machine.

• The tumble dryer must be installed in a clean place, where dirt does not build up.

• Air must be able to circulate freely all round the appliance. Do not obstruct the front ventilation grille or the air intake grilles at the back of the machine.

• 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 feet until it is.

• The feet must never be removed. Do not restrict the floor clearance through deeppile carpets, strips of wood or similar. This might cause heat built-up which would interfere with the operation of the appliance.

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.

When operating the tumble dryer, the room temperature must not be lower than

+5°C and higher than +35°C, as it may affect the performance of the appliance.

Environment

Environmental tips

• In the dryer, laundry becomes fluffy and soft. Fabric softeners are not therefore needed when washing.

• Your dryer will function most economically if you:

– always keep the ventilation slots on the base of the dryer unobstructed;

– use the loading volumes specified in the programme overview;

– ensure you have good ventilation in the installation room;

– clean the micro-fine filter and fine strainer after each drying cycle;

– spin the laundry well before drying. Example: Consumption data – depending on spinning speed – for 7kg of laundry, dried using the COTTONS CUPBOARD

DRY programme.
