WATER CONTAINERS

The water removed from the laundry during the drying cycle is collected in a container. When the container is full, an indicator light, or on some models a message on the display, will advise you that it MUST be emptied (however, we recommend to empty it after each drying cycle).
Very little water will collect during the first few cycles of a new machine as an internal reservoir is filled first.
To remove the container tank in door drawer

Gently pull out the water container holding the handle (A).
When it is full the water container will weigh about 6 kg.
Tilt the water container to empty the water out through the spout (B).
When empty, replace the water container back as shown; (C) first insert the base of the container into position as shown (1) then gentle push the top into position (2).
Press the programme start button to restart the cycle.

ONLY FOR MODELS WITH DRAIN HOSE KIT

If you have the option of drainage near to the dryer you can use the discharge kit to provide a permanent drainage for the water collected in the container of the dryer. This means that you don’t have to empty the water container.

To remove the container bottom water drawer

Gently pull the top of the kickplate so that it unclips from the dryer. The bottom section can then be unhinged allowing the kickplate to be completely removed (A).
Pull firmly on the handgrip and slide the water container out of the dryer (B). Support the container with both hands (C). When full, the water container will weigh about 4 kg.
Open the lid located on the top of the container and empty the water at the end of each drying cycle and before starting the next one (D).
Refit the lid and slide the water container back into position (D). PUSH FIRMLY INTO PLACE.
Refit the kickplate by engaging the hinges at the top and ‘snapping’ the lower clips into place.

PRACTICAL HINTS

Before using the tumble dryer for the first time:

Please read this instruction book thoroughly.
Remove all items packed inside drum.
Wipe the inside of the drum and door with a damp cloth to remove any dust which may have settled in transit.

Clothes preparation

Make sure that the laundry you are going to dry is suitable for drying in a tumble dryer, as shown by the care symbols on each item. Check that all fastenings are closed and that pockets are empty. Turn the articles inside out. Place clothes loosely in the drum to make sure that they don’t get tangled.

Do not tumble dry

Silk, nylon stockings, delicate embroidery, fabrics with metallic decorations, garments with PVC or leather trimmings.

WARNING

Do not dry articles which have been treated with a dry cleaning fluid or rubber clothes (danger of fire or explosion).
During the last 15 minutes the load is always tumbled in cool air.

Energy saving

Only put into the tumble dryer laundry which has been thoroughly wrung or spin-dried. The drier the laundry the shorter the drying time thus saving electricity.

ALWAYS

Check that the filters are clean before every drying cycle.

NEVER

Put dripping wet items into the tumble dryer, this may damage the appliance.

Sort the load as follows

By care symbols

These can be found on the collar or inside seam:
Suitable for tumble drying.
Tumble drying at high temperature.
Tumble dry at low temperature only.
Do not tumble dry.
If the item does not have a care label it must be assumed that it is not suitable for tumble drying.

By amount and thickness

Whenever the load is bigger than the dryer capacity, separate clothes according to thickness (e.g. towels from thin underwear).

By type of fabric

Cottons/linen: Towels, cotton jersey, bed and table linen.
Synthetics: Blouses, shirts, overalls, etc. made of polyester or polyamid, as well as for cotton/synthetic mixes.
Do not overload the drum, large items when wet exceed the maximum admissible clothes load (for example: sleeping bags, duvets).

Cleaning the dryer

Clean the lint filters after every drying cycle.
In models equipped with a water collection tray, the tray should be emptied after every drying cycle.
After each period of use, wipe the inside of the drum and leave the door open for a while to allow circulation of air to dry it.
Wipe the outside of the machine and the door with a soft cloth.
DO NOT use abrasive pads or cleaning agents.
To prevent the door sticking or the buildup of fluff clean the inner door and gasket with a damp cloth after every drying cycle.

WARNING
