Your New Tumble Dryer
This tumble dryer will give your wash that soft, relaxed feel whatever
the weather.
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
To save energy we recommend that you follow these
hints:
of the environment
Materials marked with the symbol
recyclable.
I
are
I
Try to load the maximum capacity of the machine
as small loads are uneconomical.
I
I
Check with your local Council or Environmental
Health Office to see if there are facilities in your
area for re-cycling this appliance.
I
Always load well spun laundry. The higher the
spin speed, the lower the electricity consumption
and the shorter the drying times.
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.
I
I
I
Do not over-dry laundry, this avoids creasing and
saves energy.
Clean the filter regularly to avoid excessive
drying times and high electricity consumption.
I
Help to keep your country tidy - use authorised
disposal sites for your old appliance.
Ventilate the room well. The room temperature
should not exceed +35°C during drying.
How do we help to protect the
environment? We use recycled paper!

This will help you to select the correct time for
drying.
4 Door Opening Button
Depress this button to open the door.
Should the door be opened while appliance is
working, the tumble dryer will stop functioning but
the time selector dial continues to turn.
2 Full Tank Indicator Light
This light illuminates when the water reservoir is full
or improperly fitted.
The programme will be interrupted.
Attention: The time selector dial continues to turn
towards the “0” position, but the drying cycle is

drying programme again for the time required to
complete drying.
5 Time Selector Dial-On/Off
Switch
Turn the dial clockwise (to the right) to select the
time for drying (see Chart page 6). At the same time
the machine is switched on and the programme starts.
This dryer has two drying cycles of up to 120 and 80
minutes, giving a high or low heat temperature
according to the type of fabric.
After this operation, the dryer can remain inactive for
20 seconds before starting the programme and during
this period the FULL TANK light remains alight.
When selecting the drying time you should remember
that it includes a 12 minute cooling phase (position
on the dial).
This phase should not be shortened, stopped or
avoided, as this could cause skin burns or damage to
the laundry.
3 Mains-On Light
This light indicates operating status. It switches off at
the end of the programme.

Hints & Tips on Drying
I
Before placing articles of laundry in your tumble
dryer, check the care labels to ensure they are
recommended for tumble drying.
Always load well spun laundry. The higher the
spin speed the lower the electricity consumption
and the shorter the drying time.
I
DO NOT load dripping wet laundry into the
dryer. Roll the article in a towel or spin to remove
excess water.
Care Labels you may find on your laundry
normal drying (high temperature)
delicate drying (low temperature)
do not tumble dry
I
I
Close poppers and zips and fasten any buttons.
Sort the laundry. Separate synthetics from
cotton/linens, and dry separately.
I
I
Remove the laundry immediately after the
programme has finished.
may be tumble dried
Use a fabric conditioning sheet to reduce static.
We recommend the sheet is pinned to an article of
laundry (using a safety pin).
Do not overload the appliance.
Here is a list of the approximate weight of some
common laundry items.
I
I
Mix the load i.e. large and small articles.
When drying large items such as sheets, we
recommend you periodically stop the dryer to
redistribute the load.
Sheet
700 to 1000 g
Pillowcase
Tablecloth
Table Napkin
Kitchen Towel
Linen Hand Towel
Hand Towel
Bath Towel
Bathrobe
100 to 200 g
400 to 500 g
50 to 100 g
DO NOT use the tumble dryer to dry the
following:
70 to 120 g
100 to 150 g
150 to 250 g
700 to 1000 g
1000 to 1500 g
200 to 300 g
150 to 200 g

Maintenance and Cleaning
You must disconnect the appliance from the
electricity supply, before you can carry out any
cleaning or maintenance work.
Cleaning the condenser unit
Clean the air condenser periodically, 3 or 4 times a
year depending on how frequently the dryer is used.
Pull out the condenser, holding it at the top, and
remove all fluff. Clean it with a brush and rinse it
under the shower if necessary.
External cleaning
Use only soap and water and then dry thoroughly.
From time to time, apply a little wax furniture cream
with a soft cloth.
Important: do not use methylated spirit, diluents or
similar products.
Cleaning the filter
The tumble dryer cannot operate efficiently with a
clogged filter. The filter collects all the fluff which
forms during drying and it is therefore essential to
remove and clean this filter after each drying
programme before removing the laundry.
P0636
P0639
Also clean the outside, removing all fluff.
Clean the rubber seal round the porthole door and the
seal of the condenser in the inner door with a damp
cloth.
Remove the fluff around the filter too.
Emptying the water reservoir(tank)
Water extracted from the laundry condenses inside
the machine and is collected in a reservoir.
The reservoir must be emptied after each drying
cycle to ensure efficient operation when the machine
is next used.
P0638S
If this is not done a safety device trips: pilot light
FULL TANK on the control panel comes on and the
programme stops, leaving the laundry damp.
You should not be alarmed by the amount of fluff
which collects on the filter; this is due to normal
wearing of the fabrics dried and not to incorrect
operation of your machine. Rubbing of the fibres
during normal wear and washing forms fluff. If
laundry is dried on a line, this fluff simply flies away,
whereas inside the tumble dryer it collects together
and swells considerably as a result of the drying
action.
The reservoir can be emptied even in the middle of a
programme.
P0637
The reservoir must be re-inserted correctly.
Important: When emptying the reservoir during the
drying cycle, the machine stops drying, but the
drying time selector dial will continue to step on.
Handy tip: The condensed water may be used in a
steam iron or to top up a battery, etc. In this case it
must be filtered (e.g. through a coffee filter).

Positioning
It is recommended that, for your convenience, the
dryer 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 in 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 four adjustable
feet until it is.
P0046
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.
Important
When operating the tumble dryer, the room
temperature must not exceed 35°C, as it may affect
the performance of the appliance.
Stacking kit
A special stacking kit is available through your
dealer, to enable the mounting of the dryer on top of
your washing machine.
