DAILY USE

8.1 Preparing the laundry
Loading the drum up to the maximum capacity indicated for the respective programmes will contribute to the energy saving.
Very often the clothes after washing cycle are kneaded and tangled altogether. Drying kneaded and tangled clothes is inefficient. To assure proper air flow and even drying it is recommended to shake and load one by one the clothes to the tumble dryer.
To assure proper drying process:
· Close the zips. · Close the fasteners of duvet covers. · Do not dry ties or ribbons loose (e.g.
apron ribbons). Tie them before you start a programme.

· Remove all items from pockets. · Turn items with the internal layer made of
cotton inside out. Cotton layer must be faced outwards. · Always set the programme suitable for the type of laundry. · Do not put light and dark colours together. · Use suitable programme for cottons, jersey and knitwear to reduce shrinkage. · Do not exceed the maximum load stated in the programmes chapter or shown on the display. · Dry only the laundry that is suitable for tumble drying. Refer to the fabric label on the items. · Do not dry large and small items together. Small items can be trapped inside the large items and remain wet. · Shake the large clothes, fabrics before placing in the tumble dryer. It is to avoid moist places inside the fabric after the drying cycle.

20 ENGLISH

10.3 Cleaning the filter
At the end of each cycle the Filter symbol comes on the display and you must clean the filter.
The filter collects the lint during the drying cycle.

To achieve the best drying performance clean the filter regularly. The clogged filter causes the longer drying cycle and as a consequence the energy consumption increase. Clean the filter by hand. Use a vacuum cleaner if necessary.
CAUTION!
When cleaning the filters, the lint should be thrown in the garbage bin and not washed through the drain in order to avoid spreading microplastics in the used water system.
1. Open the door. Pull the filter up.

Throw the lint in the dustbin. 4. If necessary, clean the filter with a
vacuum cleaner. Close the filter. 5. If necessary, remove lint from the filter
socket and gasket. You can use a vacuum cleaner. Place the filter back inside the filter socket.

2. Push the hook to open the filter.

3. Gather lint with hand from both internal parts of the filter.

10.5 Cleaning the condenser
If the symbol Heat exchanger flashes on the display, inspect the condenser and its compartment. If it is dirty, clean it. Do the check not less than once a 6 months.
WARNING!
Do not touch the metal surface with bare hands. Risk of injury. Wear protective gloves. Clean carefully to avoid damaging the metal surface.
CAUTION!
Do not use hard attachment on vacuum cleaner to remove the fluff from the condenser. This may damage the ribs of the condenser, what leads to the lower performance of the appliance and longer drying time.

3. Turn the levers to unlock the condenser lid.
4. Lower the condenser lid.

22 ENGLISH

To clean the sensor:
1. Open the loading door. 2. Clean the surfaces of the humidity sensor
wiping off the metal surface several times.

5. If necessary, remove the fluff from the condenser and its compartment. You can use a vacuum cleaner with a brush attachment.

10.7 Cleaning the drum

6. Close the condenser lid. 7. Turn the levers until it clicks into position. 8. Put the filter back.
10.6 Cleaning the humidity sensor
CAUTION!
Risk of humidity sensor damage. Do not use abrasive materials or steel wool to clean the sensor.
To assure best drying results the appliance is equipped with metal humidity sensor. It is placed on the inner side of the door area.
Over usage time the surface of the sensor may get dirty which deteriorates the drying performance.
We recommend to clean the sensor at least 3 or 4 times a year or if you observe the drop of drying performance.
To clean you can use harder side of dishwashing sponge and bit of vinegar or dish soap.

WARNING! Disconnect the appliance before you clean it.
Use a standard neutral soap detergent to clean the inner surface of the drum and drum lifters. Dry the cleaned surfaces with a soft cloth.
CAUTION! Do not use abrasive materials or steel wool to clean the drum.
10.8 Cleaning the control panel and housing
Use a standard neutral soap detergent to clean the control panel and housing.
Use a moist cloth to clean. Dry the cleaned surfaces with a soft cloth.
CAUTION! Do not use furniture cleaning agents or cleaning agents which can cause corrosion.
10.9 Cleaning the airflow slots
Use a vacuum cleaner to remove fluff from the airflow slots.

TROUBLESHOOTING

WARNING! Refer to Safety chapters.
11.1 Error Codes
The appliance does not start or it stops during operation. First try to find a solution to the problem (refer to the table). If the problem persists, contact the Authorised Service Centre.
WARNING! Deactivate the appliance before carrying out any check.
In case of major problems, the acoustic signals operate, the display shows an error code and the Start/Pause button may flash continuously:

Error code E50
E90 or E91
EH0

Possible cause

Remedy

Appliance motor overloaded.

The programme was not completed. Re-

Too much laundry or entrapped in the drum. move the laundry from the drum, set the

programme and restart the cycle.

Internal fail. No communication between electronic elements of the appliance.

The programme was not finished properly or the appliance stoped too early. Switch the appliance off and on again. If the error code appears again, contact the Authorised Service Centre.

The mains supply is unstable.

When the appliance is showing EH0, please wait until main supply is stable than press start. If the appliance paused the cycle with- out any indication then press the cycle start. If the warning will occur again check the power cord / socket integrity or main supply.

If the display shows other error codes, deactivate and activate the appliance. If the problem continues, contact the Authorised Service Centre.
In case of different problem with the tumble dryer check the table below for possible solutions.

11.2 Troubleshooting

Problem
The tumble dryer does not operate.

Possible cause The tumble dryer is not connected to the mains supply. The door is open. The On/Off button was not pushed. The Start/Pause button was not touched. The appliance is in standby mode.

Remedy Connect it to the mains socket. Check the fuse in the fuse box (domestic installation). Close the door. Push the On/Off button. Touch the Start/Pause button. Push the On/Off button.

Possible cause

Remedy

The filter is clogged.

Clean the filter.

The load is too large.

Do not exceed the maximum load size.

Drying cycle too long 5)

The laundry was not spun sufficiently.

Spin the laundry well in the washing ma- chine.

Too low or too high room temperature – this is not the appliance malfunction.

Ensure a room temperature higher than +5°C and lower than +35°C. Optimal room temperature to achieve best drying results is between 18°-25°C.

1. Follow the program description — see the PROGRAMS chapter . 2) See the CARE AND CLEANING chapter. 3) Only dryers with the Dryness Level option. 4) See the HINTS AND TIPS chapter . 5) Note: After a maximum of 6 hours the drying cycle ends automatically.

11.3 Possible causes of unsatisfactory drying results:
· The filter is clogged. Clogged filter makes drying inefficient.
· The airflow slots are clogged. · The humidity sensor is dirty. · The drum is dirty.

· Inadequate default dryness level settings. See chapter Adjustment of default dryness level
· Room temperature is too low or too high.
Optimal room temperature is between
18°-25°C.
