— The appliance must not be installed behind a

locking door, a sliding door or a door with hin-

ges on the opposite side to those on 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 laundry 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

— 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 disengage the door lock.

— 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.

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.

•ENERGY SAVINGS

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

consumption. Even synthetic textiles must be spun before drying.

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

comply 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.

3 / INSTALLING YOUR TUMBLE DRYER

• THE APPLIANCE’S SURROUNDINGS

Important :

We would 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

could 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.

Advice :

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

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

Important :

Use a spirit level to check that the

appliance is horizontal :

Your dryer is fitted with 4 adjustable feet

(Fig.03).

To adjust its horizontality and stability :

— 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

Fig. 02

Fig. 03

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)

Important :

Do not let fluff accumulate around your

dryer.

• Or via a permanent connection in

the wall :

(Fig. 05)

close to the appliance’s outlet (outlet nozzle

situated at a height of 30cm 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 the appliance is suitably ventilated

to avoid the risk of fumes being drawn from

other fuel-burning appliances, including open

fires.

• 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 :

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).

Fig. 04

Important :

Never duct into a chimney flue or a mechanical ventilation system, or into a system that

extracts fumes emitted by appliances fired by gas or other combustible substances (risk of dra-

wing combustion gases).

3 / INSTALLING YOUR TUMBLE DRYER

• MODIFYING THE AIR OUTLET

On the above drawings, 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).

— Rear air outlet

- Follow the actions shown in the drawings

(Fig.08 et Fig.09)

- Bring the extraction pipe out through the

hatch opening

— Left-hand side air outlet

- Remove the left-hand hole cover

- Pass the hose and handle assembly through

the panel. Orienting the handle to do this.

(Fig.10).

- Insert the right-hand hole cover.

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.06 on the previous page.

You will then obtain good performance and

maximum drying efficiency.

• ELECTRICAL CONNECTION

Danger :

For making the electrical connection to your appliance :

— Do not use an extension, an adapter, a multiple socket or a programmable timer.

— The plug must be easily accessible but be out of children’s reach.

— If in any doubt about the condition of your installation, contact your installer or a qualified pro-

fessional of the brand.

— Never eliminate the electrical Earthing system.

The electrical installation must comply with the prevailing standards and the Electricity Board’s

regulations in the country concerned, particularly as regards Earthing and installation in shower

rooms.

We cannot be held responsible for any incident caused by poor electrical installation.

Advice :

In order to find your appliance’s reference numbers easily in future, we recommend that

you note them down on the “After-Sales Service and Consumer Relations” page (this page also

explains where to find these on your appliance).

Your appliance complies with European Directives 2006/95/EEC (Low Voltage Directive) and

2004/108/EEC (Electromagnetic Compatibility).

• REPLACING THE ELECTRIC POWER CABLE

Important :

For your safety, this must be carried out by the manufacturer’s after-sales department or

by a qualified professional.

4 / PREPARING YOUR ITEMS

• CHECKING THE CONDITION OF YOUR TEXTILES

Advice :

If, before you insert your laundry in the

tumble dryer, you notice any stains, even

after washing, do not dry the items concer-

ned. As a general rule, stains that have been

ironed or tumble-dried can no longer be

removed.

Please refer to the instructions for treating

stubborn stains provided in most washing

machine operating instructions manuals

and, in particular, wash the stained items

again.

••

Preparing your items :

— Close all zip fasteners and press studs.

— Remove any loose buttons, pins or hook

fasteners.

The filter is located on the left-hand side inside

the drum.

To clean it :

— Remove the filter from its holder by pulling it

from bottom to top

(Fig. 12).

— Clean the filter by removing the thin layer of

fluff covering it

(Fig. 13).

Important :

The filter must never be rinsed in water

(Fig. 14)

—

Replace the filter in its holder, pushing it in com-

pletel

Important :

Every 6 months, vacuum the ventilation

grills at the front and back ot the machine to

remove any dust and fluff.

Advice :

Use some of the fluff rolled into a ball

to rub the filter to unstick the fibres from it.

To keep your appliance in good working order, we recommend that you use Clearit household

products.

Professional expertise for the general public

Clearit offers you professional products and adapted solutions for the daily upkeep of your house-

hold and kitchen appliances.

You may find them in conventional retail outlets, along with a complete line of by-products and

consumables.

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 cover is properly closed

- The programme has been selected.

The drying times are too long :

- The filter in the drum is clogged with fluff

- The laundry has been spun enough beforehand (500

rpm minimum, but spinning at 850 rpm provides better

drying times)

- The vent hose has too many bends

The laundry is too damp :

- The filter in the drum is clogged with fluff

- The type of drying has been selected correctly (too

low) : switch to the next programme up or increase

the drying time.

The laundry is too dry, too creased :

- The drying time selected is too long : the drying time

is better to be too short than too long : this avoids the

laundry becoming too dry and difficult to iron.

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.
