Should the appliance be sold or transferred to another owner, or should you move house and leave the appliance, always ensure that the book is supplied with the appliance in order that the new owner can get to know the functioning of the appliance and the relevant warnings. s s s s Do not operate the appliance with a damaged filter as this may cause a fire. Do not overload the appliance. Do not allow fluff to accumulate around the dryer. SERVICE/REPAIR s These warnings have been provided in the interest of safety. You MUST read them carefully before installing or using the appliance. Under no circumstances should you attempt to repair the machine yourself. Repairs carried out by inexperienced persons may cause injury or serious malfunctioning. Refer to your local Service Centre. Always insist on genuine spare parts. INSTALLATION s GENERAL SAFETY s s s s Any electrical work required to install this appliance should be carried out by a qualified electrician or competent person. Make sure that the appliance does not stand on its electrical supply cable. If the machine is situated on a carpeted floor, please adjust the feet in order to allow air to circulate freely. This tumble dryer is designed to be vented through to the open air. It should have its own ventilation system which should not be joined with any other ventilation system connected to any other appliance. s s It is dangerous to modify or try to modify the specifications of this appliance in any way. This appliance is designed to be used by adults. Children should not be allowed to touch the controls or play with the product. Pets and small children may climb into tumble dryers. Check your appliance each time before use. ENVIRONMENT PROTECTION s USE s s The materials used on this appliance marked with the symbol are recyclable. This means that they can be recycled by disposing of them properly in appropriate collection containers. If you take your appliance to a refuse disposal site, cut off the power cable flush with the appliance to avoid the danger of the appliance being re-used, and disable the door catch to prevent children becoming trapped inside. s s s s s Always unplug the appliance after use. Clothes which are dripping wet should not be placed in the dryer. Always load well spun laundry. The higher the spin speed, the lower the electricity consumption and the shorter the drying times. Never tumble dry items that have been in contact with chemicals such as dry cleaning fluid. These are of a volatile nature and could cause an explosion. As some bulky items such as duvets and eiderdowns should be dried in large commercial machines because of their bulk, check with the manufacturer of the item if it is suitable for drying in a domestic machine, even if the dry weight of the item is within the limit advised. Always check that no cigarette lighters have been left in pockets. Leave the porthole door slightly ajar when not in use to preserve the door seal. The fluff filter must be cleaned after every use. s 3 DESCRIPTION OF THE APPLIANCE 1 34 56 1 2 3 4 05 06 07 08 09 Worktop Programme chart Low Temperature Button Cool Tumbling Button Mains-On Light Drying Time Selector Dial Rating Plate Fluff filter Adjustable feet COTTONS STORE DRY IRON DRY MANGLE DRY 800-1200 800-1200 800-1200 5.0kg 90-115 75-100 65- 90 2.5kg 55- 75 35- 55 25- 45 SYNTHETICS STORE DRY 2.0kg 650 30- 40 1.0kg 25- 30 WT 75 min. min. min. min. 2 7 8 9 10 Side vent outlets 11 Ring nut 12 Rear vent outlet 12 11 10 4 INSTALLATION Positioning It is recommended that, for your convenience, the machine is positioned close to your washing machine. Whilst drying, the tumble dryer will expel a certain amount of warm, very moist air, and this should be removed from the room as quickly as possible to prevent condensation. In an extremely well ventilated room or close to an open window, this may occur naturally. However, in general, it is better to carry the dryer's exhaust outside via the 100 mm diameter flexible hose supplied with the appliance; ending either temporarily at an open window, or permanently at a fixed ventilation grille, fitted to an exterior wall or window. The tumble dryer must be installed in a clean place, where dirt does not build up. Make sure there are no obstructing items or material near the air-intake louvres provided at the back (e.g. paper, rags etc.). 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 two adjustable feet at the front of the machine until it is. 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. P0046 Fitting the vent hose To simplify the installation, there is a choice of vent outlets: one at the back, the others in the left and right-hand side. Connect the hose to whichever is the more convenient by pulling the ring nut (A) from the vent outlet at the back, screwing it on to the hose and pushing it firmly back into place. The unused vents should now be sealed with the special snap covers provided. A P1028 A P1027 5 Advice: If the hose is long and the room temperature low, the moisture might condense to water inside the hose. This is an unavoidable natural phenomenon. To prevent this water from Iying in the hose or flowing back into the tumble dryer, it is advisable to drill a small hole (dia. 3 mm) in the lowest point of the hose and to place a small container below it.(See picture, point A). Once connected to the dryer, run the vent hose to the desired outlet point, ensuring that the run's overall length is less than 2 m, and that it contains no more than two bends. As to the outlet itself, if you have decided on a fixed wall/window grille, a good local builder's merchant should be able to supply you with the necessary fittings and installation advice. It is important not to connect the vent hose to, for example, a cooker hood, or a chimney or flue pipe designed to carry the exhaust from a fuel burning appliance. A P0279 P0055 Note that to avoid condensation problems, it is essential that the dryer be fitted with the flexible hose to carry its "exhaust" at least beyond the kitchen units; preferable outside the kitchen. In order to prevent the appliance from overheating, it is important that the steam exhaust is unobstructed. Therefore, in case of a permanent hose fitted to an exterior wall or ceiling, it must be ensured an exhaust capacity of at least 150 m3/h. If the dryer is fitted next to kitchen units, make sure that the vent hose is not squashed. If the hose is partially squashed, drying efficiency will be reduced, resulting in longer drying times and higher energy consumption. If the hose is completely squashed, the safety cut-outs with which the machine is fitted may operate. 6 Door reversal To make it easier to load or unload the laundry the door can be reversed. This operation must be carried out by qualified personnel. Operate as follows: - Remove the door by unscrewing the two screws (1) fastening the hinge to the cabinet (Fig. A). - Remove tang (2) by pulling it downwards (Fig. A) and refit it on the lower part of the door. - Remove screws (3), plastic plates (4) and (5) (Fig. A) using a screwdriver. Take care not to damage the cabinet. - Refit the pieces (3), (4) and (5) on the opposite side (Fig. B). - Refit the door by screwing in the two screws (1) which fasten the door to the cabinet (Fig. B). 2 5 1 3 4 P0883 A 5 4 3 2 1 P0884 B Stacking kit A special stacking kit is available through your dealer, to enable the mounting of the dryer on top of your washing machine.
