CONTROL PANEL
FIRST TIME USE
Remove all the tapes used to hold items on the machine. Before you use it, clean the inside of the drum to remove any dust that could have accumulated during transport. Slight odour or vapour may be found if you open the door during its first use, this is normal and should only last a few minutes. Make sure that the ventilation hose is properly inserted (refer to the Safety Instructions).
DESCRIPTION OF CONTROL PANEL
- “Drying Time” selection knob
- This is used to set the drying time: turn the knob in a clockwise direction until the indicator is set to the desired drying time. The 0 position switches off the dryer.
- “High Heat” button
- To be used to increase the heat on drying cycles.

OPENING 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” button to resume machine operation.
DAILY USE
- Doing this will keep your machine working at its BEST: remember to clean your filter after each drying cycle.
- Refer to the Care & Maintenance section.
- Plug the dryer into the power supply socket.
- Open the door, ensure that the filter is clean and securely placed, check to see if the drum is empty before loading it.
- Load garments; always refer to instructions on clothing labels and the max loads indicated in the drying time table. 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.
- Turn the “Drying Time” selection knob until the indicator is pointing towards the most suitable drying time for the type of fabric in that load.
- Note: do not attempt to turn the knob anticlockwise.
- If necessary, set the temperature using the “High Heat” button.
- Press the “Start” button to begin drying.
- A final COOL TUMBLE phase (i.e. the fabrics are cooled) activates during the last few minutes of the drying cycle; always allow this phase to finish.
- The cycle ends when the selection knob reaches the “0” zero position and the drum stops.
- Open the door, remove the laundry.
- Disconnect the dryer from the power supply.

CARE LABEL
Always check the care labels, especially when placing garments in the tumble dryer for the fi rst time. Below are the most commonly used symbols:
- May be tumble dried.
- Do not tumble dry.
- Tumble dry – high heat.
- Tumble dry – low heat.
DRYING TIMES AND OPTIONS
Refresh
- A short cycle suitable for refreshing fibres and garments through the emission of fresh air. It lasts about 10 minutes.
- As this is not a drying cycle, it is not to be used for garments that are still wet.
- It can be used on any load size but is more effective on smaller loads.
High Heat
- This button selects the drying temperature. When the button is out low heat is selected and when it is pushed in high heat is selected.
Drying Times
- The drying time depends on the size of the load and on the type of fabric it contains (see the table below).
- A cool tumble cycle runs during the final 10 minutes of the cycle.
High Heat Cotton is the most efficient setting in terms of energy consumption (EU 392/2012). To reach maximum efficiency, select the highest temperature option.
“Turn and Go” cotton full load 160 min
- A cycle suitable for a full cotton load. It sets up the right timing in just one turn of a dial.
Drying Times table
- The tables below show approximate drying times in minutes.
- Weights refer to dry garment weights.
High Heat Cotton – High (full) Heat
Drying times 800-1000 rpm spin in washing machine
1-2 kg| 3-4 kg| 5-6 kg| 7-8 kg
20-45 mins| 45-70 mins| 70-100 mins| 90-120 mins
Synthetics – High (full) Heat
Drying times on reduced spin in washing machine
1 kg| 2 kg| 3 kg
20-30 mins| 35-45 mins| 45-60 mins
Acrylics – Low (gentle) Heat
Drying times 800-1000 rpm spin in washing machine
1 kg| 2 kg
25-40 mins| 40-60 mins
Drying times are approximate and may vary depending on the following:
- Amount of water retained after the spin cycle: towels and delicate items can retain a lot of water (if laundry retains a large amount of water, use a longer cycle than the one recommended).
- Fabrics: items of the same fabric, but with different texture and thickness may have different drying times.
- Amount of laundry: single items and small loads take less time to dry.
- Ironing: if you will be ironing laundry, remove while slightly damp for better results. Items not being ironed can be left longer.
- Temperature of the room: the lower the temperature of the room, the longer it will take for the dryer to dry clothing.
- Bulky items: bulky items require special care. We recommend removing several times the items during the drying cycle to shake them out.
_ Warning: _do not over-dry items.
All fabrics contain natural dampness which helps to keep them soft and fluffy.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE
WARNING: unplug the dryer during the cleaning and maintenance procedures.
Cleaning the door filter after each cycle
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.
The filter is an essential part for drying. It is intended to collect the lint formed during the drying process. If the filter is clogged, the air flow inside the dryer can become seriously affected: this will increase the drying time and energy consumption, and could damage the dryer.
Cleaning the tumble dryer
- The external metal, plastic and rubber parts can be cleaned with a damp cloth.
- At least every two or three months you MUST clean fluff build up around the filter housing and the vent tube. Check the vent tube and any permanent venting fixture to make sure that there has been no accumulation of fluff or lint.
- Do not use solvents or abrasives.
TRANSPORT AND HANDLING
Never lift the dryer by holding on to its top side.
- Unplug the dryer.
- Make sure that the door is properly closed.
- Disconnect the vent tube from the dryer.
