Unpacking Slide out the polythene bag with the polystyrene stuffing before using the appliance. When operating the tumble dryer, the room temperature must not be lower than +5°C and higher than +35°C, as it may affect the performance of the appliance. Electrical connection This machine is designed to operate on a 220-230 V, single-phase, 50 Hz supply. Check that your domestic electrical installation can take the maximum load required (2.4 kW), also taking into account any other appliances in use. Connect the machine to an earthed socket, in accordance with current wiring regulations. The manufacturer declines any responsibility for damage or injury through failure to comply with the above safety precaution. Should the appliance power supply cable need to be replaced, this must be carried out by our Service Centre. Important! P1106 Should the appliance be moved, it must be transported vertically. Positioning It is recommended that, for your convenience, the machine 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 grille at 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 feet until it is. The feet must never be removed. Do not restrict the floor clearance through deeppile carpets, strips of wood or similar. This might cause heat build-up which would interfere with the operation of the appliance. Important The hot air emitted by the tumble dryer can reach temperatures of up to 60°C. The appliance must therefore not be installed on floors which are not resistant to high temperatures. The power supply cable must be accessible after installing the machine. Stacking kit A special stacking kit is available through your dealer, to enable the mounting of the dryer on top of a front loading washing machine with cover's depth between 48 and 60 cm.

The condenser is situated at the lower part of the cabinet behind a small door. To open the door, push the catch as per picture. P1150 Cleaning the filters Your dryer will only function well if the filters are clean. The filters collect all the fluff which accumulates during drying and they must therefore be cleaned at the end of each programme, before removing the laundry, with a damp cloth. The light is on to remind you this operation. 50' - 60' 30' - 35' 650 E RS VE RE TO AU P1153 kg 5 kg 2,5 70' - 90' 35' - 50' 800 / 900 1000 / 1200 65' - 85' 30' - 45' 80' - 100' 70' 55' - 800 / 900 1000 / 1200 kg 2,5 kg 1 75' - 95' 50' - 65' During the drying cycle or at the end, it is normal for water to be present on the surface of the condenser insertion. To pull out the condenser, first turn the two red stops downwards and then remove the condenser unit holding it at the handle. P1110 P1151 The filter in the inner door must be removed for cleaning. Do not be alarmed by the amount of fluff. It is not due to excessive wear caused by the dryer. All fabric loses fluff when drying but it goes un-noticed in the air. In a tumble dryer it simply collects in the filter. After a while, a withish patina due to detergent residue on laundry forms on the filters. When this P1154 P1155 Clean it with a brush and rinse it under the shower if necessary. 11 ENGLISH 125992320 gb.qxd 16/10/2003 10:42 Pagina 12 Also clean the outside, removing all fluff. Clean the rubber seal round the condenser cabinet and in the inner part of the small door with a damp cloth. 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. Re-fit the condenser, turn the red stops upwards and close the door. Do not use this appliance if the condenser has not been fitted. Cleaning the air intake grille Using a vacuum cleaner remove the fluff from the air intake grille at the back of the appliance. P1162 Emptying the water reservoir 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. The pilot light reminds you this operation. Proceed as follows: Cleaning the drum When your laundry does not reach the desired degree of dryness, in other words, when it turns out either too dry or too damp, we advise you to clean the inside of the drum with a cloth soaked with vinegar. This will eliminate the slight patina that has formed in the drum (due to residues of detergent and softeners used in the washing, and to the lime contained in the water), which prevents the probes from detecting the correct degree of dryness. · Pull out the reservoir · Turn it upside down and let water flow down · Re-fit the reservoir P1156 P1157 The reservoir must be re-inserted correctly. If this is not done the pilot light comes on during next drying and the programme stops, leaving the laundry damp. The buzzer will sound. After emptying and inserting the reservoir the START-button has to be depressed again to allow the programme to continue. 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). 12 125992320 gb.qxd 16/10/2003 10:42 Pagina 13 Something not working?
