— The appliance must not be installed behind a locking door, a sliding door or a door with hinges 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 purpose other than the one for which it has been designed

•

Use

Important :

Your tumble dryer is designed for domestic use only, for drying textiles suitable for tumble drying.

Important :

You must observe the following instructions. We decline any responsibility and rescind 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 yourself and damage to your items. Do not use solvents in the appliance (risk of fire and explosion).

— 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.

1 / FOR THE USER’S ATTENTION

— Substances contained in soiling such as oil, acetone, alcohol, petrol, kerosene, stain removers, turpentine or wax must be removed before drying in your machine (by using an adapted warm water washing programme with additional detergent for example).

— Precautions for using stain-removing products : any preliminary treatment by solvent, stain-remover, aerosol, such as acetone, alcohol, gasoline, kerosene, térébentine is prohibited 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 our Technical Service Center.

ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION

The appliance’s 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 organised 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 for 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 optimize the energy used. When doing so, comply with the indications on volume provided in this instruction 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.

— Swich off your tumble dryer at the cycle ends.

7 / TROUBLESHOOTING check.

Advice :

Some incidents may arise when you are using your dryer. Here are the points you should

Fault :

The dryer does not start :

The drying times are too long :

The laundry is too damp :

Check whether :

- the plug is in the socket

- the On/Off button is pressed in

- the door is properly closed

- the condenser is correctly locked in place.

- the filter in the drum is clogged with fluff

- the laundry has been spun enough beforehand

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

- the condenser is not clogged.

- the air inlets and outlets are unobstructed enough to ensure correct air circulation.

- the drying programme selected matches the type of items in the drum.

- 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.

- the condenser is not blocked by fluff.

The laundry is too dry, too creased : - the drying time selected is too long: the drying time is better to be too short than too long: this avoids the laundry becoming too dry and difficult to iron.

The items are unevenly dried :

The synthetic items are loaded with static electricity :

- the laundry has been dried too much

- you have used softener during washing. By using this 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 emptied it, re-insert it correctly, pushing it completely into its housing

The “Tank Full” indicator light illuminates although the tank is empty :

- 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.

- the container has been properly inserted: push it in completely.

- the condenser is tightly locked on the two sides.

8 / AFTER-SALES SERVICE
