The following instructions must be strictly complied with. We decline all responsibility and will terminate any guarantee if these recommendations are ignored, which may cause damage to persons or property. · If you have to open the door of the drum during a drying cycle, be careful not to touch the drum immediately, as it will be very hot. · In the case of anomalies that you can't eliminate by following the instructions in section "What to do if...", contact a qualified professional. · Don't allow children to play with the machine and keep pets away from it. · Before disposing of your dryer render it unusable. Disconnect and cut the power cable at its entry to the machine. Put the door handle out of use. · Think of the environment. Ask your dealer or local authorities about procedures for scrapping used dryers. · If you want to change the power cable, contact a qualified professional. · Don't touch the back panel of the dryer while it's working, as it may be very hot. · Use your machine as indicated in this manual; this will avoid damage to persons and washing. Don't use solvents inside the dryer (danger of fire and explosion) · Stain removal products. All preliminary treatment with solvents, stain removers and aerosols is strictly forbidden as they are highly inflammable products. If items require such treatment, it should be carried out before washing. We also advise you not to use such products near your dryer or other electrical appliances in general in poorly ventilated areas, in order to avoid the risk of explosion. · Scrupulously follow the drying instructions on the labels on your washing. Energy saving · Spin your washing at high speed, which will reduce residual humidity and energy consumption too. Synthetic fabrics should also be spun before drying. · Load your machine to maximum for optimal use of energy. To do this, use the recommended volumes indicated in this booklet. · High ambient temperatures and small rooms increase drying times and electricity consumption. · Make sure that the ventilation grill on the front of the machine is always clean and free of obstacles. 58 Description of machine Control panel Filter Condenser Condensation water container Condenser access cover 59 Installing your dryer Installation area (A): Your dryer emits heat. If you put it next to another appliance or item of furniture, we recommend leaving space between the two for air to circulate (A). A We strongly advise against: - installing your dryer on a carpeted floor. If you can't avoid doing so, take the necessary steps to ensure adequate circulation of air under the base. - installing your dryer where it may be exposed to splashes of water; - installing your dryer in a small closed room (if this is the case, open a door or window during the drying cycle); - installing your dryer in an inadequately ventilated room; ambient temperature should be under 35° C during drying. Levelling (B): Use a level to check the floor is horizontal. The maximum allowed inclination is 1.5° (ie. about 1 cm with respect to the width and depth of the dryer). Your dryer has four adjustable feet (B). To adjust level and stability: - tip slightly backwards; - use a wrench or pair of pliers to screw or unscrew, depending on the floor, one or more of the feet to adjust height (B); - put the dryer back on four feet and check stability. B 60 Building in ­ Reversing the door Your dryer can be recessed. See the drawing below (A) for recess dimensions. · For safety reasons, a metal top must be applied to the top of your dryer. You can obtain one from your dealer. · Make sure the dryer is unplugged before carrying out the following operations. Proceed as follows: - unscrew and remove the screws on the rear of the work top; 3 - push the work top back till it stops; - lift the work top off; - unscrew and remove the plastic pins (1) on the side walls of the dryer and remove the tie-rods (2); - fit on the metal top (3) which ensures protection in the case of accidental contact with live parts; - position the dryer in its recess, aligning it with the adjacent units and making sure it is completely underneath the work top. A 565 600 1 2 830 829 600 595 Reversing the door (B): If you wish, you can change the way the door opens, as follows: - remove the four screws (1) in the front panel fixing the hinges (2) of the door (3); - move the micro-switch activator (5) from position (a) to position (b); - move the plugs covering the holes from position (6) to position (1); - mount the door on holes (6). B 3 5(a) 1 2 1 6 5(b) 61 Column installation ­ Power supply Column installation (A): Your dryer can be easily stacked on top of a front-loading washing machine. This requires a stacking kit (frame and suction pads) available from your dealer. Don't forget to adjust the feet during installation. Frame B 62 A Power supply, (B): Electrical connection must be to NF C15100, especially regarding the earthing system. Line: 3 x 2.5 mm2, 230 V, connecting to: - a meter: 20 A, 230 V ­ 50 Hz; - a differential circuit breaker and individual 16 A fuse; - a power outlet: 16 A, 2-pole + earth. Tips on electrical connection of your appliance: Contact a qualified professional for replacement of the power cable. The dryer's technical characteristics data are on the serial number plate on the back of the machine. - the power outlet must be easily accessible but out of reach of children; - don't use extensions, adaptors or multiple sockets; - never disconnect the earth system. We cannot be held responsible for any accident caused by improper electrical installation. If in doubt, contact your installer. Your appliance complies with EC directives 73/23 (Low Voltage) and 89/336 (Electromagnetic Compatibility) as amended by EC directive 93/68. (see stacking kit) Suction pads (see stacking kit) Laundry preparation Check the state of your fabrics: If, after washing and before putting the laundry in the dryer, you notice stains, don't dry the stained items, because stains that are then ironed or dried in a dryer usually can't be removed. Refer to the instructions that most washing machine manuals give on removal of difficult stains and, most importantly, wash the items again. Check labels on fabrics: Normal drying Delicate drying Do not tumble dry Don't dry the following in your dryer: - plasticized fabrics; - chloro-fibres (eg. Termolactyl*) * registered trademark; - garments containing plastic foam, rubber or reinforcements that might become detached; - bulky items (duvets, quilts, etc.); - laundry that hasn't been spun; - laundry that's been cleaned with inflammable chemical products. How to prepare laundry items: - close all zips and press studs; - remove loose buttons, broaches, clips; - do up belts, aprons strings, etc.; - empty pockets. Loading the laundry Recommended volumes: To reduce creasing and optimise drying times we advise keeping within a maximum of 6 kg of cotton and 3 kg of synthetic/delicate fibres. - 6 kg of cotton corresponds to the volume of a full drum (items uncompressed); - 3 kg of synthetic/delicate fibres corresponds to the volume of a half drum; - 1,5 kg of synthetic/delicate fibres corresponds to the volume of a quarter drum. Before the first drying cycle, clean the inside of the drum with a damp cloth to remove any dust that may have deposited.

How to use the drying programmes On/Off Anti-crease exclusion Start Programme switch Led Description Programming a drying cycle: · press the "ON/OFF" button (acoustic signal); · if you want a delayed start, choose one of the four programmed delay times (1 to 4) before setting the programme and wait 3 seconds. An acoustic signal will tell you when your choice has been accepted; · now choose a programme by turning the switch to the desired setting; · the "Anti-crease exclusion" option may be chosen at this point; · press the "Start" button *, an acoustic signal will tell you drying has begun. * the "Start" button doesn't stay pressed down. ON flashes ON flashes ON flashes rapidly then stays lit Adding or removing an item during a drying cycle: · open the door; · add or remove laundry *; · press the "Start" button (acoustic signal). * be careful not to scald yourself. ON flashes ON flashes rapidly then stays lit Modifying a drying cycle in progress: · set the pointer on the switch to "Stop" and wait for the acoustic signal; · choose another programme; · restart the drying cycle (see above). ON flashes Cancelling a drying cycle in progress: · press the "ON/OFF" button at any time during drying. Maintaining your dryer's performance: · clean the filter after each cycle (the "Filter" led lights up at the end of the cycle); · empty the tank after each cycle; · clean the condenser once a month. Tank filter full Important: remember that if there's a power failure or if the door is opened during a drying cycle, the appliance will automatically restart once the initial conditions are restored. On completion of the drying cycle, a cool air ventilation phase will start automatically. After this, four acoustic signals will tell you the cycle has ended. If you haven't selected the Anti-crease exclusion option, the 60 minute anti-crease phase will now start. During this stage the laundry may be taken out at any time. 64 Your drying programmes Cotton Jeans Weight Fabric type Household linen, blue jeans Cotton Drying result Dry Fabric Prog. selection yes 1 6 kg Ready to wear Ready to steam iron iron machine iron 6 kg Dry yes 2 6 kg 6 kg 6 kg Cotton Cotton Cotton Slightly damp Damp Damper yes yes yes 3 4 5 Mixed Ready to wear Ready to fold Ready to wear Flash 3 kg 3 kg 3 kg 3 kg Delicates/synthetics Delicates/synthetics Delicates/synthetics Delicate/synthetic/mixed Dry Drier Damper Fast no no no no 7 6 8 9 Other drying programmes Extra drying 60-45-30-15 min.

It has to be emptied for the drying cycle to be completed. It's best to empty it after each cycle 66 Routine maintenance Cleaning the filter It's important to remember that the filter must be cleaned after each cycle. The filter is in the bottom part of the opening of your dryer. To clean it: - pull the filter upwards out of its housing (A); - clean it by removing the thin layer of fluff covering it (B) Under no circumstances must it be cleaned with water (C). - replace it in its housing , pushing down well. A B Use a piece of crumpled plush fabric to remove fibres from the filter. Once every six months, hoover the vents at the front and back of the machine to eliminate dust and fluff. C Cleaning the humidity probes (D): If you have an electronic dryer, a layer of scale may deposit on the probes (inside the drum, on top of the stainless steel blade). Remove by wiping the probes with a cloth soaked in vinegar D Cleaning the dryer: The only acceptable way to clean the control panel, the access to the drum and the bodywork is with a wet sponge or cloth and some liquid soap. In any case, never use (E): · abrasive powders; · metallic or plastic pads; · alcohol based products (alcohol, diluents, etc.) 67 E Maintaining the condensation water container and condenser Emptying the condensation water container: The container is in the bottom part of the machine. It collects the water extracted from the laundry during the wash. To empty it, open the skirting flap and remove the container from its housing by pulling outward (A and B). The container must emptied after each drying cycle. If this isn't done, the next cycle will be interrupted; around 20 seconds after you've emptied and replaced the container, the cycle resumes and the "container full" led goes out. Risk of freezing: If there is a risk of freezing, empty the water container. Moving the dryer: If you want to move or tilt the machine, empty the water container. C B A Cleaning the condenser The condenser should be cleaned twice a month. Take the plug out before cleaning the condenser. - open the skirting flap on the front of the machine (A); - remove the condenser panel by sliding the locking devices towards one another in the direction of the arrows (C); - turn the lever 90° to free the condenser (D); - remove the condenser (E); - free it from fluff; - rinse with tap water only (F); - after cleaning, make sure all the tubes are "unblocked" and that the fins are clean; - dry it summarily; - remove all deposits of fibre from the surface of the condenser housing and around the water discharge hole (F); - replace the container in its housing, secure it and put the cover and skirting back on. Important: when you remount the condenser, keep it firmly pressed against the bottom of its housing whilst securing it. 68 D E F What to do if... The following malfunctions may occur when using your dryer. Here are some solutions. Malfunction The dryer doesn't start. Check that: Check that: · the fuses are in perfect condition; · it's plugged in properly; · you've pressed the on/off or start button; · you've closed the door properly; · the condenser is well screwed in; · the condensation water container is empty and properly positioned; · the filter is in its housing properly. · the drum filter isn't covered with fluff; · the condenser isn't covered with scale; · the laundry has been well spun (min. 500 rpm; 850 rpm shortens drying time); · the ambient temperature isn't too high (especially if the room is small); if necessary open the door or window; · the air intake and vent are free enough to ensure proper circulation. · the drum filter isn't covered with fluff; · the selected type of drying is right; if necessary, choose a "drier" programme; · the condenser isn't blocked with fluff. · the laundry is sufficiently "separated" before going into the drum; · the drum isn't too full. · the laundry isn't too dry. · you have used a softener in the wash; softeners solve much of the problem with static. · the condensation water container is full; having emptied it, correctly put it back and secure it to the bottom of its housing. · your dryer is horizontal. Drying times are too long. Check that: The laundry is too damp. Check that: Drying isn't even. Check that: Synthetic items are charged with static electricity. Check that: The "container full" led is on. Check whether: The "container full" led comes on during a cycle when the container is only partly full. Check that: 69 Kundeservice Eventuelle indgreb i apparatet skal udføres af: - enten forhandleren - eller kvalificerede teknikere, som er autoriserede af producenten.
