FIRST TIME USE

Make sure that the water tank is correctly inserted. Make sure that the drain hose on the back of the dryer is ﬁxed correctly, either to the dryer’s water tank, or to your domestic drainage system. The dryer must be installed in a room with a temperature ranging between 5°C and 35°C to ensure proper operation. Before you use your dryer ensure that it has been in a upright position for at least 6 hours.

DAILY USE

Doing this will keep your machine working at its BEST:

remember to empty your water tank after each drying cycle.
remember to clean your filters after each drying cycle.

Care & Maintenance section

Plug the dryer into the power supply socket.
Open the door and load garments; always refer to instructions on clothing labels and the max loads indicated in the programme section. Empty pockets. Make sure garments do not get caught between the door and/or the door filter. Do not load items that are dripping wet. Do not tumble dry large, very bulky items.
Close the door.
Press the “On/Off” button.
Select the most suitable programme for the type of fabric in that load.
Select the options, if necessary.
Press the “Start/Pause” button to begin drying.
At the end of the drying cycle, a buzzer will beep. An indicator on the control panel signals the end of the cycle. Pull the load out immediately to prevent the formation of creases on laundry.
Turn the machine off by pressing the “On/Off” button, open the door and pull the clothing out. If the machine is not switched off manually, after about a quarter of an hour from the end of the cycle , the appliance turns off automatically to save energy. Note that some programme/option accords with “Crease Care”

This means that for some hours, after the end of the drying cycle, the drum rotates at regular intervals to prevent the formation of creases

OPENING OF THE DOOR DURING THE CYCLE

Laundry can be checked while the drying cycle runs and any garments already dry can be removed, while drying continues for the remaining items. After closing the door, press the “Start/Pause” button to resume machine operation. Keep the door closed until the cycle end to save time and energy.

CARE LABEL

Always check the care labels, especially when placing garments in the tumble dryer for the first time. Below are the most commonly used symbols:

May be tumble dried.
Do not tumble dry.
Tumble dry- high heat.
Tumble dry-low heat.

PROGRAMS

The duration of these programs will depend on the size of the load, types of textiles, the spin speed used in your washer and any extra options selected. In machines equipped with display, the duration of the cycles is shown on the control panel. The remaining time is constantly checked and adjusted during the drying cycle to show the best possible estimate. Option to use – If all your loads on Automatic Cycles are consistently less dry or more dry than you would like, you may increase or decrease the dryness level using the specific option.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

WARNING: unplug the dryer during the cleaning and maintenance procedures.

Emptying the water tank after each cycle (see Fig. A).
Pull the container out of the dryer and empty it into a sink or other suitable drain, then place it back properly. Do not use the dryer without having inserted the container back in place.
Cleaning the door filter after each cycle (see Fig. B).
Pull the filter out and clean it by removing the lint from the filter surface under running water or using a vacuum cleaner. For optimal performance, dry up the filter before inserting it back in place. Do not use the dryer without having reinserted the filter in place.

Remove the door filter as described below:

Open the door and pull the filter upwards.
Open the filter and remove the lint from all its parts. Replace the filter correctly making sure it is fully seated.

Cleaning the bottom filter when the relevant indicator turns on (see Fig. C).

Pull the filter out and remove the lint from its surface by washing it under runing water or by using a vacuum cleaner. However, it is advisable to clean this filter after each cycle to optimise drying performance. Do not use the dryer without having reinserted the filter in place.

Remove the bottom filter as described below:

Open the bottom cover.
Take the handle and pull the filter out.
Open the rear side of the filter and remove the lint from the inner surface of the mesh.
Clean the filter chamber avoiding the direct contact with the fins.
Close the rear side of the filter and place it back by checking it is perfectly integrated into its seat.
Lower the filter handle and close the bottom cover.
Make sure the air intake is free.

The filters are essential parts for drying. They are intended to collect the lint formed during the drying process. In case of clogged filters, the air flow inside the dryer would be seriously affected: the drying times would be longer, the energy consumption would increase and the dryer could be damaged. If these procedures are not carried out properly, the dryer may not start.

Cleaning the tumble dryer

The external metal, plastic and rubber parts can be cleaned with a damp cloth.
Clean the front air intake grille regularly (every 6 months) with a vacuum cleaner to remove any lint, fluff or dust deposits. Furthermore, remove any lint deposits from the filters area, using a vacuum cleaner every so often.
Do not use solvents or abrasives

TRANSPORT AND HANDLING

Never lift the dryer by holding it at the worktop.

Unplug the dryer.
Remove the water from the water tank completely.
Make sure that door and water tank are properly closed.
If the drain hose is connected to your drainage system, re-connect it to the back of the dryer (see “Installation” section in the Safety Instruction guide).
