Electronic Equipment. Contact your town hall or your retailer for the used

appliance collection points closest to your home.

We thank you doing your part to protect the environment.

Installation of your new evacuation tumble dryer

The air that comes out of your

appliance is full of moisture and has to

be evacuated (See fig. 1)

a) Whether directly into the room if it is

sufficiently ventilated (if possible the

appliance should be installed near a

opened window),

b) Or through a fixed exhaust duct in the

wall near the outlet of the appliance

(install an air vent in the bottom area to

avoid condensing inside the duct).

• The distance between the fins of the

air vent must be no less than 15 mm

to avoid dirtying.

• The diameter of the hole crossing the

wall must at least be equal with the

external diameter of the duct.

c) Or, temporarily, the duct end can be

put out through an opened window.

IMPORTANT : never connect the duct to

a chimney (risk of combustion gas

returning), or to a controlled mechanical

ventilation device.

The appliance is delivered with the outlet

at the righthand side, but you can change

it.

The duct fitting needs some care :

• never extend it

• limit the number of elbows to a

maximum of two, so that you will have

an efficient and a high performance

drying.

Changing the air outlet :

This modification should be done

before connecting your tumble dryer.

See fig. 2 (b,c), the appliance is shown

from the back view.

b) Unclip the handle, by pulling it out, then

release the duct.

c) Push the duct with the handle through

the side plate by turning the handle as

shown on the picture.

Lefthand side outlet

(See fig. 3)

Remove the stopper at the left side

➀➀

Put the duct with its handle into the left

outlet by operating as explained before.

Once the handle has been put into

position, fit it in.

Replace the stopper at the right-hand

side ➁

Outlet at the rear side

see fig. 4

Take the flexible duct out from the rear.

Putting in place

It is not recommended to install your dryer

on a carpeted floor. If this cannot be

avoided, provide proper air circulation

underneath the appliance.

LEVELLING (FIG. 5)

The tumble dryer has to be in a

horizontal position, not sloping.

Levelling is essential to ensure proper

operation of the machine.

Adjust the feet using a spanner to ensure

that the dryer is level and check with a

spirit level (maximum angle 1.5°, that is

less than 1 cm).

ENVIRONMENT

Your tumble dryer releases hot air.

If it is placed near another appliance or

next to a cabinet, a minimum 1 cm space

should be provided in between to assist

ventilation.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION (Fig. 6)

The electrical installation must be made in

accordance to the standard.

Do not connect the appliance through an

extension but plug it directly into an

electrical socket.

In case of supply cord defect call for a

skilled person to replace it because

special tools are required.

Replacing the electric lead

WARNING: In the interests of safety,

the electrical supply lead should ONLY

be replaced by the manufacturer’s

after-sales staff or a similarly qualified

person.

We cannot be held liable for any

damage and possible repercussions

resulting from a faulty earthing, or the

absence of earthing of the appliance.

DOOR OPENING

Lift the cover to reach the drum.

Cover safety device : It is only possible

to switch on if the cover is properly

closed.

LAUNDRY LOADING

After your clothes have been washed and

spun, put the laundry loosely in the drum

without folding and squeezing.

Any items which have been treated

with a chemical stain remover or an

aerosol, must not be put into the

tumble dryer : inflammable products,

danger of explosion

If your laundry needs such treatment,

it must

absolutely

be done before

washing.

LINT FILTER CLEANING (fig. 7)

WARNING : After every drying process it

is necessery to clear the lint deposits on

the filter.

Do not clean it with water.

The lint filter, on the lefthand side of the

drum, has to be cleaned without any

water after every cycle. Never rinse it

with water at the end of the programme.

➀ Remove the filter by pulling it upwards

➁ Once the thin layer of lint has been

removed from the filter, put it back into

position by pushing it firmly downwards.

At the end of the programme, your

appliance stops at the position “STOP”.

The lamp ‘’filter cleaning’’ lights up to

remind you that you have to clean the filter.

The lamp ‘’on’’ goes out.

Using

Your machine conforms to European

Directives EC/73/23 (Low Voltage

directive) and EEC/89/336

(Electromagnetic Compatibility) as

modified by EEC/93/68.

Selecting a Drying programme

SWITCHING ON

SELECTION OF DRYING TIME

see picture 8

➁➁

With the knob ➁ , select the required

drying time according to the type and the

load of laundry as well as to the spinning

efficiency of your washing machine.

This operation switches on your

appliance.

DRYING TIME

Recommended loads according to the

kind of the laundry are the following :

COTTON : Maximum 5 kg dry laundry

Minimum 1.5 kg dry laundry

SYNTHETIC : Maximum 2 kg dry laundry

Minimum 0.5 kg dry laundry

The drying times below include an 8- minute

cooling phase at the end of the cycle and

are given as a general indication, as they

vary according to :

- the desired result : dry, slightly damp,...

- the room temperature (the indications

correspond to 20°).

- the spinning efficiency.

For a spinning speed of 850 r.p.m. :

COTTON : 5 kg between 1h 30 and 1h 40

MIXED : 3.5 kg between 1h 30 and 1h 40

For a spinning speed of 500 r.p.m. :

MIXED : 2 kg between 50 and 60 mn.

DELICATE : 1 kg between 55 and 65 mn.

Lower spinning speeds mean relatively

longer drying times.

SWITCHING OFF

After the 8-minute coolong phase, the

knob will be in the “STOP” position.Turn it

to the off “O” position. As a precaution,

the supply cable should be disconnected.

COLD PROGRAMME

This position can be selected to freshen

clothes which have been kept for a long

time.

This programme can also be used as

supplementary drying for clothes which

have not been sufficiently dried at the end

of the normal programme.

Regular maintenance

After-sales

Machine cleaning :

Use only soap and water.

Control panel cleaning :

Use only a damp rag.

Never use :

- abrasive powders

- detergents with alcohol (alcohol,

solvents, ...)

- scouring pad or plastic sponges.

Any servicing operations on your

appliance should be carried out by a

qualified professional working with the

brand name. When you call, mention the

complete reference number of your

appliance (model, type, serial number).

This information appears on your warranty

card and on the rating plate.

User tips

Better drying

Different laundry fabrics come from

different origins, so their reaction during

drying is very varied.

You can usually dry together items which

have been washed together, apart from

the fabrics which carry the “Do not

Tumble Dry” Symbol.

It is better to avoid :

• drying together light materials with thick

cotton items, the weight of the cotton will

crease the lighter fabrics

• overloading the drum : the drying time

will be longer ( Maximum : 1 wash load)

• ‘’overdrying’’ your laundry : this accentuates

creasing because the cotton is ‘’broken’’.

Non colourfast materials should be dried

separately.

Economical drying

In order to save energy, spin your laundry

very well : the higher the spin speed, the

shorter the drying time and the lower the

energy consumption.

Ensure a low room temperature.

If necessary, open the door or the window.

Particular care

Usually, all machine washable textile

fabrics can be dried in the tumble dryer,

with the exception of the following items :

• Woolen or silk materials

• Fabrics with chlorine fibres

( ex. : Thermolactyl*, Rhovyl*)

* registered trademark

• Any item with the forbidding symbol.

• Some particular items : net curtains,

nylon tights and stockings, bulky items

(like duvet, pillow,...etc.), items containing

foam rubber or plastic parts, metallic

parts, which could come off, plastic

covered textiles, any non-spun laundry.

Follow scrupulously the recommendations

on the fabric labels.

order, we recommend that you use
