1 / FOR THE USER’S ATTENTION

Important :

Keep these operating instructions with your appliance. If you should sell your machine or give it to someone else, ensure that the operating instructions go with it.

Please take note of these safety instructions before installing and using your appliance.

They have been drawn up for your safety and that of others.

•SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

•

Installation

— When you take delivery of the appliance, unpack it or have it unpacked immediately.

Check that it has not suffered any damage during transport. Express any reservations in writing on the delivery note and keep a copy.

Never connect up a damaged appliance.

If your appliance is damaged, please contact your dealer.

— Before proceeding to connect up your appliance, please refer to the Installation

Instructions.

— Your tumble dryer must be kept disconnected from the mains supply throughout the whole installation process.

— Never connect the vent hose to a chimney flue (risk of combustion gas backflowing) or a mechanical ventilation system.

— The electrical connection details shown on your appliance’s information plate must match the those of the local mains supply.

— Once your appliance has been installed, the plug must remain accessible.

— Do not alter or try to alter this appliance’s characteristics. This could be dangerous for you.

— If your installation requires alteration, only entrust the electrical and plumbing work to appropriately qualified electricians and plumbers.

— 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 other purpose than the one for which it has been designed

•

Children’s safety

— This appliance must only be used by adults.

Do not let children play with the appliance and keep pets away from it.

— Keep young children away from the appliance when it is operating.

— When you have unpacked your appliance, keep the packing out of children’s reach.

— Keep the packaging materials out of children’s reach (e.g.: plastic bags, polystyrene, etc.) because they can be dangerous for children: risk of suffocation.

•

Use

Important :

Your tumble dryer is designed only for domestic use, 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).

— Precautions for using stain-removing products:

Any preliminary treatment with solvents, stainremovers or aerosols is forbidden 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.

1 / FOR THE USER’S ATTENTION

— 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.

— Check the vent hose at regular intervals: this can help you to avoid your appliance malfunctioning.

Water can gather in the pipe (through condensation) depending on the operating conditions (load of laundry, how well it has been spun and the external temperature); in this case you must empty out any water accumulated in the vent hose.

— If any incidents occur, which you cannot resolve using the troubleshooting advice we provide (see

“TROUBLESHOOTING”), contact an appropriately qualified professional.

— Before disposing of your worn-out appliance, make it unusable. Unplug and cut off the power cable flush with the appliance and make the door lock inoperable.

— For your safety’s sake, if you wish to change your appliance’s power cable, contact an appropriately qualified electrician.

— If any operating anomalies occur, disconnect your appliance and call your After-Sales Service.

•ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION

This 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 the used appliances that 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 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 utilise energy optimally. When doing so, comply with the indications on volume we provide in this instructions 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.

3 / INSTALLING YOUR TUMBLE DRYER

• THE APPLIANCE’S SURROUNDINGS

Advice :

Your tumble dryer releases heat. If you place it next to another appliance or a unit, we would advise you always to leave a space in-between to assist air circulation (Fig. 02).

Important :

We would strongly advise against:

— Installing your appliance on a carpeted floor.

If you cannot avoid this, take all possible measures not to obstruct the circulation of air at its base.

— Installing your dryer in a location where it could be subject to being splashed with water.

— Installing your dryer in a small closed room

(if this is the case, open the door or the window during drying)

— Installing your dryer in a poorly ventilated room. The temperature in the room must remain below 30°C during drying.

Fig. 02

• LEVELLING

Important :

Use a spirit level to check that the appliance is horizontal:

Your dryer is fitted with 4 adjustable feet

(Fig.03). To adjust its horizontality and stability:

— Tip it slightly backwards

— Screw one or more of the feet in or out using a spanner or a screwdriver to adjust their height to suit the shape of the floor (Fig.03)

— Set your dryer back on its feet and check that it is stable.

Fig. 03

3 / INSTALLING YOUR TUMBLE DRYER

• VENTING THE AIR

During drying, the hot, humidity-laden air coming from your appliance must be vented away.

• Either directly to the room :

(Fig. 04) if the room is well-ventilated (if possible, install your appliance near to a half-open window)

• Or via a permanent connection in the wall :

(Fig. 05) close to the appliance’s outlet (outlet nozzle situated at a height of 30cm to avoid condensation forming in the vent hose).

The slats in the outlet nozzle must be at least

15mm apart to avoid clogging.

Ensure that the room is appropriately ventilated to avoid any risk of gas backflowing from any associated appliances.

• Or temporarily :

(Fig. 05) by putting the end of the hose out of an open window.

Important :

Grills with fly screens should not be used.

The diameter of the passage through the wall must be at least the same as the vent hose’s external diameter.

Important :

Never connect to a chimney flue (risk of combustion gas backflowing) or a mechanical ventilation system.

Important :

The vent hose must be installed horizontally or upwards and must never hang down (Fig. 06); it should contain as few bends as possible (2 at most).

3 / INSTALLING YOUR TUMBLE DRYER

• MODIFYING THE AIR OUTLET

Important :

The following actions must be taken before connecting your dryer :

On the drawings above, the appliance is shown from the rear. The flexible hose must be pulled out of the dryer.

You have three possible outlets:

Flexible vent hose

— Right-hand side air outlet

— Left-hand side air outlet

— Rear air outlet

When it is delivered, your appliance’s air outlet is on the right (viewed from the front) but you can alter this. To do this, you must first of all release the flexible vent hose.

— Right-hand side air outlet

- Unclip the handle by pulling it outwards and then release the vent hose (Fig.07).

— Left-hand side air outlet

(Fig.08)

- Remove the left-hand hole cover

- Pass the hose and handle assembly through the panel, orienting the handle to do this (

Fig. 08

➁

- Insert the right-hand hole cover.

— Rear air outlet

(Fig.09)

- Release the cover (

Fig. 08

➀

) using cutting pliers.

- Release the duct carefully to avoid any risk of being cut (

Fig. 09).

Certain precautions must be taken when installing the vent hose:

- It must not be increased in length

- It must have as few bends as possible (2 at most); see Fig.05 on the previous page.

You will then obtain good performance and maximum drying efficiency.

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 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 temperature in the room is not too high, particularly if the room is small: if necessary, open the door or the window

- The vent hose has too many bends

- 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 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 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 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.
