• SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

1 / FOR THE USER’S ATTENTION

Important:

Keep these operating instructions with

your appliance. If you should sell your

machine or give it to someone else, ensure

that the operating instructions are provided.

Please take note of these safety instructions

before installing and using your appliance.

They have been written for your safety and

that of others.

•

Installation

— When you receive the appliance, unpack it or

have it unpacked immediately. Check that it

has not suffered any damage during trans-

port. Express any reservations in writing on

the delivery slip and keep a copy. Never

connect a damaged appliance. If your

appliance is damaged, please contact your

dealer.

— Before connecting your appliance, please

refer to the installation instructions.

— Your tumble dryer must be kept disconnec-

ted from the mains supply throughout the

whole installation process.

— The electrical connection details shown on

your appliance’s information plate must match

those of the local mains supply.

— Once your appliance has been installed, the

electrical plug must remain accessible.

— Do not alter or try to alter the appliance’s

characteristics. This could be dangerous.

— If your installation requires alteration, only

entrust the electrical and plumbing work to

qualified electricians and plumbers.

— The appliance must not be installed behind a

locking or sliding door, preventing the com-

plete opening of the dryer.

— Your appliance is designed for normal

domestic use. Do not use it for commercial or

industrial purposes or for any purpose other

than the one for which it has been designed

•

Children’s safety

— This appliance must only be used by adults.

Do not let children play with the appliance and

keep pets away from it.

— Keep young children away from the

appliance when it is operating.

— Keep the packaging materials out of chil-

dren’s reach (e.g.: plastic bags, polystyrene,

etc.) because they can be dangerous for chil-

dren: risk of suffocation.

— This appliance is not intended for use by per-

sons (including children) with reduced physi-

cal, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of

experience and knowledge, unless they are

supervised or instructed concerning use of

the appliance by the person responsible for

their safety.

•

Use

Important:

Your tumble dryer is designed for

domestic use only, for drying textiles suitable

for tumble drying.

Important:

You must observe the following instruc-

tions. We decline any responsibility and res-

cind the guarantee if these recommendations

are ignored: failure to observe them can

result in material damage and physical injury.

— Use your appliance in accordance with its

method of use, thereby avoiding injury to your-

self and damage to your items. Do not use sol-

vents in the appliance (risk of fire and explo-

sion).

— Strictly comply with the care instructions on

your laundry.

— If you have to open the door of the drum

during the drying cycle, ensure that you do not

touch the drum immediately, as it is very hot.

1 / FOR THE USER’S ATTENTION

• ENERGY SAVINGS

• ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION

The appliance’s packaging material is recyclable. Help recycle it and protect the environment by

dropping it off in the municipal receptacles provided for this purpose.

Your appliance also contains a great amount of recyclable material. It is marked with this

label to indicate that in countries that are a members of the European Union the used

appliances should not be mixed with other waste. This way, the appliance recycling orga-

nised by your manufacturer will be done under the best possible conditions, in compliance

with European Directive 2002/96/EC on Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment.

Contact your town hall or your retailer for the used appliance collection points closest to your

home.

We thank you for doing your part to protect the environment.

— Spin your textiles at high speeds; the residual dampness will be low, as will your energy consump-

tion. Even synthetic textiles must be spun before drying.

— Place the maximum load in your machine; this will optimize the energy used. When doing so, com-

ply with the indications on volume provided in this instruction manual.

— The drying time and the energy consumption are both increased by a high ambient temperature

and too small a room.

— Clean the filter after each drying cycle.

— Swich off your tumble dryer at the cycle ends.

— Substances contained in soiling such as oil, acetone, alcohol, petrol, kerosene, stain removers,

turpentine or wax must be removed before drying in your machine (by using an adapted warm water

washing programme with additional detergent for example).

— Precautions for using stain-removing products : any preliminary treatment by solvent, stain-remo-

ver, aerosol, such as acetone, alcohol, gasoline, kerosene, térébentine is prohibited because these

products are very inflammable. If your laundry requires this type of treatment, this must be done

before washing. Similarly, we recommend that you do not use these products near to your dryer or,

in general, near any electrical appliance in a poorly ventilated room in order to avoid any risk of an

explosion.

— Check the vent hose at regular intervals: this can help you to avoid your appliance malfunctioning.

Water can gather in the pipe (through condensation) depending on the operating conditions (load

of laundry, how well it has been spun and the external temperature); in this case you must empty

out any water accumulated in the vent hose.

— If any incidents occur, which you cannot resolve using the troubleshooting advice we provide (see

“TROUBLESHOOTING”), contact our Technical Service Center.

— Before disposing of your worn-out appliance, make it unusable. Unplug and cut off the power

cable flush with the appliance and make the door lock inoperable.

— For your safety’s sake, if you wish to change your appliance’s power cable, contact a qualified

electrician.

— If any operating anomalies occur, disconnect your appliance and call our Technical Service

Center.

Fig. 02

Important:

We strongly advise against:

— Installing your appliance on a carpeted floor.

If you cannot avoid this, take all possible mea-

sures not to obstruct the circulation of air at

its base.

— Installing your dryer in a location where it

can be subject to being splashed with water.

— Installing your dryer in a small closed room

(if this is the case, open the door or the win-

dow during drying).

— Installing your dryer in a poorly ventilated

room. The temperature in the room must

remain below 30°C during drying.

1 cm mini

Advice:

Your tumble dryer releases heat. If you place it next to another appliance or a unit, we

advise you always to leave a space in-between to assist in air circulation (Fig. 02).

Important:

Use a level to check that the appliance

is horizontal.

Your dryer is fitted with 4 adjustable feet

(Fig.03).

To adjust the stability and levelness:

— Tip it slightly backwards.

— Screw one or more of the feet in or out using

a spanner or a screwdriver to adjust their

height to suit the shape of the floor

(Fig.03).

— Set your dryer back on its feet and check

that it is stable.

• LEVELLING

• THE APPLIANCE’S SURROUNDINGS

3 / INSTALLING YOUR TUMBLE DRYER

• VENTING THE AIR

During drying, the hot, humidity-laden air

coming from your appliance must be vented

away.

• Either directly to the room:

(Fig. 04)

If the room is well-ventilated (if possible, install

your appliance near to a half-open window).

• Or via a permanent connection in

the wall:

(Fig. 05)

Close to the appliance’s outlet (outlet nozzle

situated at a height of 30 cm to avoid conden-

sation forming in the vent hose).

The slats in the outlet nozzle must be at least

15mm apart to avoid clogging.

Make sure that the room is well-ventilated, to

prevent gas from appliances burning other

fuels, including open fires, from blowing back

into the room.

• Or temporarily: (Fig. 05)

By putting the end of the hose out of an open

window.

Important:

Grills with fly screens should not be

used.

The diameter of the passage through the wall

must be at least the same as the vent hose’s

external diameter.

Important:

Never duct into a chimney flue or a

mechanical ventilation system, or into a sys-

tem that extracts fumes emitted by

appliances fired by gas or other combustible

substances (risk of drawing combustion

gases).

Important:

The vent hose must be installed hori-

zontally or upwards and must never hang

down (Fig. 06); it should contain as few bends

as possible (2 at most).

On the drawings above, the appliance is

shown from the rear. The flexible hose must

be pulled out of the dryer.

You have three possible outlets:

— Right-hand side air outlet

— Left-hand side air outlet

— Rear air outlet

When it is delivered, your appliance’s air outlet

is on the right (viewed from the front) but you

can alter this. To do this, you must first of all

release the flexible vent hose.

— Right-hand side air outlet

— Unclip the handle by pulling it outwards and

then release the vent hose

(Fig.07).

— Left-hand side air outlet

(Fig.08)

— Remove the left-hand hole cover

) using cutting

pliers.

— Release the duct carefully to avoid any risk

of being cut (

Fig. 09).

Certain precautions must be taken when ins-

talling the vent hose:

— It must not be increased in length.

— It must have as few bends as possible (2 at

most); see Fig.05 on the previous page.

You will then obtain good performance and

maximum drying efficiency.

6 / REGULAR MAINTENANCE

Advice:

Some incidents may arise when you are using your dryer. Here are the points you should

check.

Fault: Check whether:

The dryer does not start:

- the plug is in the socket.

- the door is properly closed.

- the “Start” key was pressed (if the appliance was not

in pause).

The drying times are too long:

- the filter in the drum is clogged with fluff.

- the laundry has been spun enough beforehand

(500rpm minimum, but spinning at 850rpm provides

better drying times).

- the vent hose has too many bends.

- the air inlets and outlets are unobstructed enough to

ensure correct air circulation.

- the drying program selected matches the type of

items in the drum.

The laundry is too damp:

- the filter in the drum is clogged with fluff.

- the type of drying has been selected correctly: switch

to the next programme up.

The laundry is too dry, too creased:

- the drying program selected matches the type of

items in the drum.

The items are unevenly dried:

- the types of textiles in the load are too different (e.g.

sheets together with jeans).

- the laundry has been laid correctly ‘unfolded’ in the

dryer.

- the drum is not overloaded.

The synthetic items are loaded with

static electricity:

- the laundry has been dried too much.

- you have used softener during washing. By using this

product, you can reduce most of the problems with

static electricity.
