Environmental tips

• In the dryer, laundry becomes fluffy and

soft. Fabric softeners are not therefore

needed when washing.

• Your dryer will function most economically

if you:

– always keep the ventilation slots on the

base of the dryer unobstructed;

– use the loading volumes specified in the

programme overview;

– ensure you have good ventilation in the

installation room;

– clean the micro-fine filter and fine strain-

er after each drying cycle;

– spin the laundry well before drying.

Energy consumption depends on spin-

ning speed set in washing machine.

Higher spinning speed - lower energy

consumption.

distilled water, e.g. for steam ironing.

However it must first be filtered (e.g. with

a coffee filter) to remove any residue and

small pieces of fluff.

Cleaning heat exchanger

If the

HEAT EXCHANGER is displayed,

the heat exchanger needs to be cleaned.

Caution! Do not use abrasives or steel

wool to clean the drum.

Lime in the water or cleaning agents may

form a barely visible lining on the inside

of the drum. The degree to which the

laundry has been dried is then no longer

detected reliably. The laundry is damper

than expected when removed from the

appliance.

Use a standard domestic cleaner (e.g. vine-

gar-based cleaner) to wipe down the inside

of the drum and drum ribs.

Clean control panel and housing

Water hardness

Water contains, a variable

quantity of limestone and min-

eral salts of which quantities

vary according to geographical

locations thus varying its con-

ductivity values.

Relevant variations of the con-

ductivity of the water compared

to those prefixed by the factory

could slightly influence the re-

sidual humidity of the laundry at

the end of the cycle. Your dryer

allows you to regulate the sen-

sitivity of the drying sensor

based on conductivity values of

the water.

1. Turn the programme selector to any programme.

2. Press simultaneously the Droogtegraad and START/PAUZE

buttons and hold down for approx. 5 seconds. The current set-

ting is on the display:

–

low conductivity <300 micro S/cm

–

medium conductivity 300-600 micro S/cm

–

high conductivity >600 micro S/cm

3. Press the START/PAUZE START PAUZE button sequentially

until you set desired level.

4. To memorize setting press simultaneously the the Droogte-

graad and START/PAUZE buttons or turn knob to O off po-

Hints for test institutes

Parameters possible to checked by the Test

Institutes:

• Energy consumption (corrected with final

humidity) during the cupboard dry cotton

cycle with nominal load.

• Energy consumption (corrected with final

humidity) during the cupboard dry cotton

cycle with half load.

• Final humidity (during cupboard dry cot-

ton, iron dry cotton and cupboard dry easy

care)

• Condensation efficiency (corrected with fi-

nal humidity) during cupboard dry cotton

cycle with nominal and half load

All the cycles have to be checked in accord-

ance with EN 61121 (Tumble dryers for

household use – Methods for measuring the

performance).

Installation

Important! The appliance must be moved in

vertical position for transport.

Appliance positioning

• It is recommended that, for your conven-

ience, the machine is positioned close to

your washing machine.

• The tumble dryer must be installed in a

clean place, where dirt does not build up.

• Air must be able to circulate freely all round

the appliance. Do not obstruct the front

ventilation grille or the air intake grilles at

the back of the machine.

• To keep vibration and noise to a minimum

when the dryer is in use, it should be

placed on a firm, level surface.

• Once in its permanent operating position,

check that the dryer is absolutely level with

the aid of a spirit level. If it is not, raise or

lower the feet until it is.

• The feet must never be removed. Do not

restrict the floor clearance through deep-

pile carpets, strips of wood or similar. This

might cause heat built-up which would in-

terfere with the operation of the appliance.

Important!

The hot air emitted by the tumble dryer can

reach temperatures of up to 60°C. The ap-

pliance must therefore not be installed on

floors which are not resistant to high temper-

atures.

When operating the tumble dryer, the room

temperature must not be lower than +5°C

and higher than +35°C, as it may affect the

performance of the appliance.

Important! Should the appliance be moved,

it must be transported vertically.

Important! The appliance must not be

installed behind the lockable door, a sliding

door a door with a hinge on the opposite side

to that of the appliance.
