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 temperature)

delicate drying (low temperature)

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.

•

Easy-ccare iitems

, too, e.g. shirts,

should be briefly pre-spun before

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

at lleast 330 mminutes

. This will be

necessary particularly for multilayered

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

Do not dry wool in the dryer. May

become entangled! After air-drying,

wool may be dried with the WOOL

CARE programme.

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.

Remove persistent stains before

washing.

Rub particularly soiled areas with a

special detergent or detergent paste.

Treat curtains with special care. Remove

hooks or tie them up in a bag or net.

the programme charts.

General rules:

Cotton, linen: drum full but not too

tightly packed;

Synthetics: drum no more than half full;

Delicate fabrics and woollens: drum

Try to load to the maximum capacity

of the machine as small loads are

uneconomical.

therefore recommend that you adopt

the following guidelines:

• cotton, linen: drum full but not too

tightly packed;

• synthetics: drum no more than half

full;

• delicate fabrics: drum no more than

one third full.

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.

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.

Important:

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

at tthe eend

of eeach pprogramme

, 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).

Do nnot uuse tthe aappliance wwithout ffilters.

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.

Important!

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.

Do nnot uuse tthis aappliance iif tthe ccondenser

has nnot bbeen ffitted.

Emptying the water reservoir

Water extracted from the laundry condens-

es inside the machine and is collected in a

reservoir.

The reservoir must be emptied after each

drying cycle to ensure efficient operation

when the machine is next used. The pilot

light reminds you this operation.

Proceed as follows:

• Open the small door at the lower part of

the cabinet

• Turn the yellow stop upwards

• Pull out the reservoir

• Open the small cover and let water flow

down

• Close the small cover and re-insert cor-

rectly the reservoir

•

Push it until it clicks and turn the yellow

stop downwards to lock firmly it

•

Close the small door and press the

START/PAUSE button again to allow the

programme to continue.

The rreservoir mmust bbe rre-iinserted ccorrectly.

If this is not done the pilot light comes

on during next drying and the programme

stops, leaving the laundry damp. The

buzzer will sound for 1 minute.

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.
