ENGLISH 125981111 gb.qxp 2005-03-07 08:39 Page 4 Tips for environmental protection To save energy and to help protect the environment, we recommend that you follow these hints: · Try to load the maximum capacity of the machine as small loads are uneconomical. · Always load well spun laundry. The higher the spin speed, the lower the electricity consumption and the shorter the drying times. · Do not over-dry laundry, this avoids creasing and saves energy. Select the drying programme according to the type of laundry and the required degree of dryness. · To utilize the maximum load, laundry which is to be dried ready to put away (store dry) can be dried together with items to be ironed. To do this, select the programme for iron-dry, remove the iron-dry items at the end of the programme and then finish-dry the rest of the load. · Clean the filters regularly to avoid excessive drying times and high electricity consumption. · Ventilate the room well. The room temperature should not exceed +35°C during drying.

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. Your dryer allows you to regulate the sensitivity of the drying sensor based on conductivity values of the water by using the following procedure. EINDE AFKOELEN DROGEN Conductivity degree Low Medium High Approximative value (µS/cm) < 300 300 - 600 > 600 To access adjustment mode: Turn the programme selector dial to switch on the appliance. In selection mode, press simultaneously the buttons 2 and 4. IPress the buttons down until the pilot lights above each ones begin to flash and one of the pilot lights indicating the drying phase lights "DROGEN", cooling "AFKOELEN", or end cycle "EINDE" remains lit Normally, the appliance is factory-set to the highest level; however, certain models may be configured differently. Memorizing the new setting: Simultaneously press the buttons 2 and 4. Press the buttons down until the pilot lights above each ones stop flashing and the buzzer sounds. 9h 6h 3h 12345 Adjusting the level of conductivity: Press the button Start/Pauze (Start/Pause) sequentially: the level of conductivity is indicated by the lighting of the horizontal hyphens. 5 125981111 gb.qxp 2005-03-07 08:39 Page 6 Installation Warning! Unpacking Slide out the polythene bag with the polystyrene stuffing before using the appliance. Pull off adhesive strips from inside machine on top of drum 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! The power supply cable must be accessible after installing the machine. 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. 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. Read carefully the instructions supplied with the kit. P1148 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. Please contact the nearest Service Centre. 6 125981111 gb.qxp 2005-03-07 08:39 Page 7 Use The control panel ENGLISH 123456 1 Quick drying button - "Kort" By depressing this button the drying time is reduced in the following COTTON programmes: · ...
