Drying hints

Before loading the laundry

Never tumble dry the following:

Particularly delicate items such as

net curtains, woollen, silk, fabrics

with metal trim, nylon tights, bulky

materials such as anoraks, blankets,

eiderdowns, sleeping bags, feather

quilts and any items containing rub-

ber foam or materials similar to rub-

ber foam.

• Always follow the instructions on gar-

ment labels:

may be tumble dried

normal drying (high tempera-

ture)

delicate drying (low tempera-

ture)

do not tumble dry

• Close pillowcases and covers with

fasteners to prevent small laundry

items getting tangled inside them.

Close press studs, zips and hooks

and tie belts and apron strings.

• Sort laundry according to type and

degree of drying required.

• Do not over-dry laundry, this avoids

creasing and saves energy.

• Avoid drying dark clothes with light

coloured fluffy items such as towels

as they could attract the fluff.

• The laundry must be thoroughly spun

before tumble drying.

•

E

a

s

y

-

c

a

r

e

i

t

e

m

s

, too, e.g. shirts,

should be briefly pr

e-spun befor

e

drying (depending on crease resist-

ance approx. 30 seconds or using

the special brief spin programme of

your washing machine).

• Knitted textiles (knitted underwear)

may shrink a little during drying.

Please do not overdry items of this

type. It is advisable to allow for

shrinkage when choosing the size of

new purchases.

• You can also put starched items into

your dryer. However, to achieve the

desired starched effect, choose the

programme “iron dry”. To remove any

starch residues, wipe out the internal

drum after drying with a moist cloth

and then rub it dry.

• To avoid a static charge when drying

is completed, use either a fabric sof-

tener when you are washing the

laundry or a fabric conditioner specif-

ically for tumble dryers.

• Remove the laundry when the dryer

has finished drying.

• If individual items are still damp after

drying, set a brief post-drying time,

but

a

i

n

u

t

s

. This will be

necessary particularly for multilayered

items (e.g. collars, pockets, etc.).

Make sure that no metal objects

are left in the laundry (e.g. hair

clips, safety pins, pins).

Button up pillowcases, close zip

fasteners, hooks and poppers. Tie any

belts or long tapes.

To avoid laundry becoming tangled:

close zips, button up duvet covers and

tie loose ties or ribbons (e.g. of aprons).

Turn items with double-layered fabrics

inside out (e.g. with cottonlined anoraks,

the cotton layer should be outermost).

These fabrics will then dry better.

Programme information

Adjusting the level

of conductivity

Water contains, a variable quantity of limestone and mineral salts

of which quantities vary according to geographical locations thus

varying its conductivity values. 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.

Press the START/PAUSE button sequentially: the level of

conductivity is indicated by the phase pilot lights, which light

in various combinations as follows:

Low < 300

Medium 300-600

Normally, the appliance is factory-set to the highest level;

however, certain models may be configured differently.

Care and cleaning

You must DISCONNECT the appliance

from the electricity supply, before you

can carry out any cleaning or

maintenance work.

External cleaning

Use only soap and water and then dry

thoroughly.

do not use methylated spirit,

diluents or similar products..

Cleaning the door

Clean periodically the interior part of

the door to remove any fluff from the

seals around the filter. Accurate clean-

ing ensures correct drying.

Cleaning the filters

Your dryer will only function well if the fil-

ters are clean.

The filters collect all the fluff which

accumulates during drying and they

must therefore be cleaned

, before removing

the laundry, with a damp cloth.

The light is on to remind you this

operation.

The filter in the inner door must be

removed for cleaning.

Do not be alarmed by the amount of fluff. It

is not due to excessive wear caused by the

dryer.

All fabric loses fluff when drying but it

goes un-noticed in the air. In a tumble

dryer it simply collects in the filter.

After a while, a withish patina due to

detergent residue on laundry forms on

the filters. When this occurs, clean the

filters with warm water using a brush.

Remove the filter in the door opening

as per picture (it can be positioned with

the tooth facing to the left or to the

right).

Cleaning the condenser unit

Clean the condenser when light comes

on.

The condenser is situated at the lower part

of the cabinet behind a small door. To open

the door, push the catch as per picture.

During the drying cycle or at the end, it is normal

for water to be present on the surface of the

condenser insertion.

To pull out the condenser, first turn the two

red stops downwards and then remove the

condenser unit holding it at the handle.

Clean it with a brush and rinse it under the

shower if necessary.

Also clean the outside, removing all fluff.

Clean the rubber seal round the condenser

cabinet and in the inner part of the small

door with a damp cloth.

Do not use pointed objects

or utensils to clean the spaces

between the plates, as this could dam-

age the condenser and make it perme-

able.

Re-fit the condenser, turn the red stops

upwards and close the door.

After emptying and inserting the reservoir

the START-button has to be depressed

again to allow the programme to continue.

Handy tip: The condensed water may be

used in a steam iron or to top up a battery,

etc. In this case it must be filtered (e.g.

through a coffee filter)).

Cleaning the air intake grille

Using a vacuum cleaner remove the fluff

from the air intake grille at the back of the

appliance.

Cleaning the drum

When your laundry does not reach the desired

degree of dryness, in other words, when it

turns out either too dry or too damp, we

advise you to clean the inside of the drum with

a cloth soaked with vinegar.

This will eliminate the slight patina that has

formed in the drum (due to residues of

detergent and softeners used in the wash-

ing, and to the lime contained in the water),

which prevents the probes from detecting

the correct degree of dryness.
