i Your New Tumble Dryer
This tumble dryer will give your wash that soft, relaxed feel whatever
the weather.
It is fitted with a condensation system. The moisture extracted from the
wash is condensed and then collected in a water tank.
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.
Energy saving tips
In the interest
of the environment
To save energy we recommend that you follow these
hints:
■ Try to load the maximum capacity of the machine
as small loads are uneconomical.
■ Always load well spun laundry. The higher the spin
speed, the lower the electricity consumption and
the shorter the drying times.
Clothes which are dripping wet should not be
placed in the dryer.
■ Do not over-dry laundry, this avoids creasing and
saves energy.
■ Clean the filter and the condenser regularly to
avoid excessive drying times and high electricity
consumption.
■ Ventilate the room well. The room temperature
should not exceed +35°C during drying.
■
■
■
■
Materials marked with the symbol

Check with your local Council or Environmental
Health Office to see if there are facilities in your
area for re-cycling this appliance.
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.
Help to keep your country tidy - use authorised
disposal sites for your old appliance.

Do not overload appliance (see programme chart).
As some bulky items such as duvets and
eiderdowns should be dried in large commercial
machines because of their bulk, check with the
manufacturer of the item if it is suitable for drying
in a domestic machine, even if the dry weight of

2 “Full tank” light
This light lights up when the water container is full or
when it has been inserted incorrectly.
The programme will be interrupted.
Cooling
Drying programmes end with a ten minute cooling
phase. This ten minute period is calculated as part of
the overall selected drying time. During the cooling
phase, the appliance’s heating elements are switched
off and the laundry is cooled before the tumble dryer
stops automatically in position ‘0’ (end of drying
cycle). Do not shorten or interrupt the cooling phase.
Leaving warm laundry inside the drum will cause
creasing and in some cases permanent damage.
3 Mains-on light
The mains-on light is alight during the drying cycle. It
switches off at the end of selected drying time.
4 Door opening button
To open the door, press this button. Should the door be

i Drying Hints
Sort and prepare laundry before
drying
What is fluff?
When you begin to use your tumble dryer, you will be
surprised to see the amount of fluff that accumulates
in the fluff filter.
This is perfectly normal and does not mean that the
tumble dryer is damaging the laundry being dried.
When the tumble dryer is being used, as well as when
items are washed by hand or in a washing machine,
fibres and fluff are released by any laundry item and
adhere to its surface. This also happens when fabrics
are hung out to dry in outdoor environments. In a
tumble dryer fibres and fluff accumulate in the fluff
filter and increase in volume because of the heat
inside the appliance.
Sort laundry to be dried according to fabric type (see
label on each item) and desired degree of dryness.
Close all zips and tie all strings. Close pillowcases and
quilt covers to prevent small items from getting
tangled inside them.
Never tumble dry the
following:
■
■
■
Particularly delicate items such as synthetic
curtains, silk and nylon stockings.
Items containing rubber foam or materials similar
to rubber foam.
Woollens or mixed-wool garments, as these will
shrink and felt.
Time and energy consumption
Energy consumption and drying times vary according
to the quantity, residual dampness after spinning, size
and nature of the fabrics being dried and the degree of
dryness.
If the appliance is overloaded, mediocre drying results
will be obtained and the laundry will be creased.
In order to reduce energy consumption and drying
times, it is necessary to spin the laundry adequately.
The use is recommended of a washing machine
capable of spinning laundry at a speed of 800 rpm or
more.
Garments which are not ironed, such as shirts, must
also be spun for 10 - 30 seconds before they are dried
in the tumble dryer.
Do not tumble dry items treated with
inflammable liquids (petrol, methylated
spirits, dry cleaning fluid) to avoid fire risks.
Starched fabrics
Starched fabrics may also be dried in this appliance.
To obtain the best results, select ‘iron dry’ drying time
with residual dampness. When the cycle has been
completed, clean tumble dryer drum with a damp
cloth and then with a dry cloth in order to remove any
remaining starch.
How much does dry laundry weigh?
Shrinking
Please use the following values to load the appliance
correctly. These values refer to cotton garments:
Some items (such as shirts and the like) may easily
shrink to a greater or lesser extent. This is due to the
fact that these items are ‘suspended’ inside the tumble
dryer, as opposed to being hung on a washing line to
dry, which is usually the case.
Do not over-dry these items. Select ‘iron dry’ drying
time for these items.
Approximate weight in grammes
Bathrobes ...............................................................1200
Quilt covers..............................................................700
Sheets.......................................................................500
Handtowels, pillowcases..........................................200
Shirts, night-gowns..................................................200
Pyjamas, blouses......................................................100

Maintenance and Cleaning
Cleaning fluff filter
Clean fluff filter located on the inside part of the door
after every drying programme.
Proceed as follows:
■
Pull filter upwards in order to remove it.
Remove fluff from filter by hand or with a damp
cloth.
Place filter in original position.
P0638
Emptying water container (tank)
Water extracted from the laundry being dried is
collected in a special container. This container must
be emptied after every cycle, but it can also be
emptied during the drying cycle. Should you forget to
empty the container, a light will light up on the panel
and the drying cycle will stop automatically even if
the laundry is not dry yet. Insert container correctly.
P0637
Cleaning tumble dryer
The external part of the appliance, the control panel,
the drum, its plastic and rubber surfaces may be
cleaned with a damp cloth and neutral washing-up
liquid.
Cleaning inside part of drum
Should a film of limescale build up on the drum after
a while, remove it with a damp cloth and a limescale
remover.
ATTENTION! Do not use solvents or abrasive
substances.
Cleaning condenser
Remove fluff from condenser on a regular basis to
avoid prolonging drying times and increasing energy
consumption.
Proceed as follows:
1. Remove condenser by using the top handle.
2. Clean condenser with a hand-held shower or a soft
brush.
3. Clean external part, too.
4. Leave condenser to dry; when it is dry, place in
original position.
P0636
Important! Do not use pointed objects or utensils to
clean the spaces between the plates, as this could
damage the condenser and make it permeable.
Do not use this appliance if the condenser has not
been fitted.

- 89/336 EEC of 3.5.89 (Electromagnetic Compatibility Directive) and subsequent modifications.
15
Positioning
Install the appliance on a flat floor or on a washing
machine. In any case, the appliance must be perfectly
horizontal. Check this by using a spirit level and
make any necessary adjustments to appliance's
adjustable feet.
Please make sure that there is adequate ventilation
underneath the appliance and adequate air change
between the grid and base.
In consideration of the above, it is not advisable to
place the appliance on a carpet.
Important information regarding
installation
■
Hot air emitted by the appliance may reach
temperatures of up to 60°C. Therefore, do not
place appliance on floors which are not resistant
to high temperatures.
■
Make sure that the temperature of the room in
which the appliance is installed does not exceed
35°C. Excessive room temperature will prolong
drying times and cause energy consumption to
increase.
■
Please keep space surrounding tumble dryer as
clean as possible.
■
Do not remove the appliance's adjustable feet. It is
essential to provide a certain amount of space
between the floor and the appliance for ventilation
purposes. Blocking ventilation would inevitably
cause the appliance's inside temperature to
increase and would therefore affect the appliance's
efficiency.
