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 using the dryer make sure it has been in an upright position for at least 6 hours. Should you wish to change the opening side of the door, please contact our After-sales Service. (See phone number in the warranty booklet).

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.

The programme may retain some options selected in previous drying cycles.

Dryness Level

Press the relevant button several times to obtain a different level of residual moisture on your laundry. An indicator signals the level being selected.

Iron Dry: very delicate drying. Items will be more easily ironed immediately after the cycle.
Hanger Dry: a level intended for delicate garments ready to be hanged.
Cupboard Dry: the laundry is ready to be folded and put away.
Extra Dry: for laundry intended to be worn at the end of the cycle.

This option is for delaying the start of the cycle. Press the corresponding button several times to find the required delay. Once the max time is reached, the option is reset by pressing the button again. An indicator on the control panel signals the time being selected. After pressing the “Start/Pause” button, the machine signals the time remaining to the start of the cycle. If the door is opened, press the “Start/Pause” button once the door has been closed.

Crease Care
This option add a crease treatment at the end of the cycle by means of a periodic rotation of the drum (duration up to 10 hours). It is particularly suitable when it is not possible to remove the laundry as soon as the drying ends. If this option is used together with the Start Delay, the crease treatment is added also in the Start Delay phase. This option remains in memory if selected in the previous drying.

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:

1.  Open the door and pull the filter upwards.
2. 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:

1. Open the bottom cover;
2.  Take the handle and pull the filter out.
3. Open the rear side of the filter and remove the lint from the inner surface of the mesh.
4. Clean the filter chamber avoiding the direct contact with the fins.
5. Close the rear side of the filter and place it back by checking it is perfectly integrated into its seat.
6. Lower the filter handle and close the bottom cover.
7. 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
• Do not use solvents or abrasives.

TRANSPORT AND HANDLING

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