Care Labels you may find on your laundry may be tumble dried normal drying (high temperature) delicate drying (low temperature) do not tumble dry · Always load well spun laundry. The higher the spin speed the lower the electricity consumption and the shorter the drying time. · DO NOT load dripping wet laundry into the dryer. Roll the article in a towel or spin to remove excess water. · Close poppers and zips and fasten any buttons. · Sort the laundry. Separate synthetics from cotton/linens, and dry separately. · Remove the laundry immediately after the programme has finished. · Use a fabric conditioning sheet to reduce static. We recommend the sheet is pinned to an article of laundry (using a safety pin). · 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. Do not overload the appliance. Here is a list of the approximate weight of some common laundry items. Sheet Pillowcase Tablecloth Table Napkin Kitchen Towel Linen Hand Towel Hand Towel Bath Towel Bathrobe Shirt Apron 700 to 1000 g 100 to 200 g 400 to 500 g 50 to 100 g 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 DO NOT use the tumble dryer to dry the following: · Articles contaminated with inflammable substances e.g. petrol, cleaning solvents, cooking oil, fats or hair lacquer. · Woollen and synthetic/wool mixtures unless the item is labelled as suitable for tumble drying. · Very delicate articles such as silk. · Very large and bulky items such as duvets or sleeping bags. 16 Maintenance and Cleaning You must disconnect the appliance from the electricity supply, before you can carry out any cleaning or maintenance work. External cleaning Use only soap and water and then dry thoroughly. Important: do not use methylated spirit, diluents or similar products. After a while, a whitish coating due to detergent residue on laundry forms on the filters. When this occurs, clean the filters with warm water using a brush. Remove the filter in the door opening as per picture (it can be positioned with the tooth facing to the left or to the right). 80' - 100' 70' 55' 800 / 900 1000 / 1200 kg 5 kg 2,5 70' - 90' 35' - 50' 800 / 900 1000 / 1200 65' - 85' 30' - 45' 75' - 95' 50' - 65' kg 1 kg 2,5 50' - 60' 30' - 35' 650 E RS VE RE TO AU Cleaning the door Clean periodically the interior part of the door to remove any fluff from the seals around the filter.

Cleaning the condenser unit P1150 Clean the air condenser when the CONDENSER light illuminates. 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. 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 FILTER light reminds you to carry out this operation. P1153 kg 5 kg 2,5 E RS VE RE TO AU 70' - 90' 35' - 50' 800 / 900 1000 / 1200 65' - 85' 30' - 45' 80' - 100' 70' 55' - 800 / 900 1000 / 1200 75' - 95' 50' - 65' kg 2,5 kg 1 50' - 60' 30' - 35' 650 To pull out the condenser, first turn the two red stops downwards as shown below 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 looses fluff when line-drying but it goes un-noticed in the air. In a tumble dryer it simply collects in the filter. P1154 P1155 17 Clean it with a brush and rinse it under the shower if necessary. The reservoir must be re-inserted correctly. If this is not done the pilot light FULL TANK comes on during next drying and the programme stops, leaving the laundry damp. The buzzer will sound. After inserting the reservoir the START/PAUSE 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). P0639 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. Cleaning the air intake grill Using a vacuum cleaner remove the fluff from the air intake grill at the back of the appliance. Do not use this appliance if the condenser has not been fitted. 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 FULL TANK light reminds you to perform this operation. Proceed as follows: · Pull out the reservoir · Turn it upside down and let water empty · Re-fit the reservoir Cleaning the drum If the laundry is not drying to the level of dryness you have set, either too dry or too damp, we advise you to clean the inside of the drum with a cloth soaked in vinegar. This will eliminate the slight residues of detergent and softeners used in the washing, or to any residues of lime contained in the water. A build up of these residues will prevent the sensors from correctly measuring the degree of dryness of the laundry. P1156 P1157 18 Adjusting the level of conductivity Water contains, a variable quantity of limestone and mineral salts of which quantities vary according to geographical locations thus varying its conductivity values. Relevant variations of the conductivity of the water compared to those prefixed by the factory could slightly influence the residual humidity of the laundry at the end of the cycle.
