Your New Tumble Dryer
This tumble dryer will give your wash that soft, relaxed feel whatever the weather.
Extremely high quality standards both during development and
manufacturing guarantee a long service life for your appliance.
Maximum economy in the operation of your dryer is achieved through
very frugal electricity consumption and short drying times.
• When the appliance is to be scrapped, cut off the power
Energy saving tips
To save energy we recommend that you follow these hints:
supply cable and make the door closing device unusable
to prevent young children from being trapped inside.
• Try to load the maximum capacity of the machine
as small loads are uneconomical.
• Help to keep your country tidy - use authorised
disposal sites for your old appliance.
• Always load well spun laundry. The higher the spin
speed, the lower the electricity consumption and the
shorter the drying times.
How do we help to protect the
environment? We use recycled paper!

Attention! Please follow the instructions on labels when drying mixed fabrics.
Drying times are given as a guide only and vary according to the size of the load, the type of laundry, the degree
of spinning prior to drying.
Start by selecting a short drying time. If necessary, perform an additional drying cycle afterwards.
Experience will soon enable you to estimate the drying time needed for your usual laundry loads. It is advisable
to take note of them.
Size of load
It is not necessary to weigh the laundry, if these instructions are followed:
• Cottons, linen: full drum, but not overloaded.
• Synthetics: half drum.
For a mixed load (cotton and synthetics, for example) select the drying time suitable for the most delicate
fabrics and then increase it by approx 10 mins.

Hints & Tips on Drying
Before placing articles of laundry in your tumble
dryer, check the care labels to ensure they are
recommended for tumble drying.
• Always load well spun laundry. The higher the spin
speed the lower the electricity consumption and the
shorter the drying time.
• DO NOT load dripping wet laundry into the dryer.
Roll the article in a towel or spin to remove excess
water.
Care Labels you may find on your laundry
may be tumble dried
• Close poppers and zips and fasten any buttons.
normal drying (high temperature)
delicate drying (low temperature)
do not tumble dry
• Sort the laundry. Separate synthetics from
cotton/linens, and dry separately.
• Remove the laundry immediately after the
programme has finished.
• Use a fabric conditioning sheet to reduce static. We
recommend the sheet is pinned to an article of
laundry (using a safety pin).
Do not overload the appliance.
Here is a list of the approximate weight of some
common laundry items.
• Mix the load i.e. large and small articles.
• When drying large items such as sheets, we
recommend you periodically stop the dryer to
redistribute the load.

8
Maintenance and Cleaning
You must disconnect the appliance from the
electricity supply, before you can carry out any
cleaning or maintenance work.
After a while, a whitish film due to detergent residue
on laundry forms on the filters. When this occurs,
clean the filters (specially the filter in the door
opening) with warm water using a brush. Remove it
as per picture (it can be positioned with the tooth
facing to the left or to the right).
External cleaning
Use only soap and water and then dry thoroughly.
Important: do not use methylated spirit, diluents or
similar products.

Do not use the appliance without filters.
Cleaning the condenser unit
Clean the air condenser periodically, 3 or 4 times a
year depending on how frequently the dryer is used.
P1150
The condenser is situated at the lower part of the
cabinet behind a small door. To open the door, push
the catch as per picture.
Cleaning the filters
Your dryer will only function well if the filters are
clean.
The filters collect all the fluff which accumulates
during drying and they must therefore be cleaned at
the end of each programme, before removing the
laundry, with a damp cloth.

To pull out the condenser, first turn the two red stops
inwards as shown and then remove the condenser
unit holding it at the handle.
P1151
P1110
The filter in the inner door must be removed for
cleaning.
Do not be alarmed by the amount of fluff. It is not
due to excessive wear caused by the dryer. All fabric
looses fluff when drying but it goes un-noticed in the
air. In a tumble dryer it simply collects in the filter.
P1155
P1159
It is quite normal to find droplets of water on
top of or at the front of the condenser unit.
This is not a fault with the appliance.
9
Clean it with a brush and rinse it under the shower if
necessary.
P1202
P0639
The reservoir must be re-inserted correctly.
Push it until it clicks.
Also clean the outside, removing all fluff.
After inserting the reservoir the programme will
continue after about 20 seconds.
Clean the rubber seal round the condenser cabinet
and in the inner part of the small door with a damp
cloth.
Handy tip: The condensed water may be used in a
steam iron or to top up a battery, etc. In this case it
must be filtered (e.g. through a coffee filter).
Important! Do not use pointed objects or utensils to
clean the spaces between the plates, as this could
damage the condenser and make it permeable.
Re-fit the condenser, turn the red stops upwards and
close the door.
Cleaning the air intake grille
Using a vacuum cleaner remove the fluff from the
air intake grille at the back of the appliance.
Do not use this appliance if the condenser
has not been fitted.
Emptying the water reservoir
Water extracted from the laundry condenses inside
the machine and is collected in a reservoir.
The reservoir must be emptied after each drying
cycle to ensure efficient operation when the machine
is next used.
P1162
If this is not done a safety device trips: pilot light
on the control panel comes on and the
programme stops, leaving the laundry damp.
The reservoir can be emptied even in the middle of a
programme.
Proceed as follows:
• Open the small door at the lower part of the
cabinet
• Turn the yellow stop upwards
• Pull out the reservoir
• Open the small cover and let water flow down
• Close the small cover and re-insert correctly the
reservoir
Push it until it clicks and turn the yellow stop
downwards to lock firmly it
•
Close the small door and press the
START/PAUSE button again to allow the
programme to continue.
•

P1148
P1106
Door reversal
To make it easier to load or unload the laundry the
door can be reversed.
Should the appliance be moved, it must be
transported vertically.
This operation must be carried out by qualified
personnel.
Please contact the nearest Service Force Centre.
This will be a chargeable option.
Positioning
It is recommended that, for your convenience, the
machine is positioned close to your washing
machine.
The tumble dryer must be installed in a clean place,
where dirt does not build up.
Electrical connection
Any electrical work required to install this appliance
should be carried out by a qualified electrician or
competent person.
Air must be able to circulate freely all round the
appliance. Do not obstruct the front ventilation grille
or the air intake grilles at the back of the machine.
WARNING: THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE
EARTHED.
To keep vibration and noise to a minimum when the
dryer is in use, it should be placed on a firm, level
surface.
Once in its permanent operating position, check that
the dryer is absolutely level with the aid of a spirit
level. If it is not, raise or lower the feet until it is.
The manufacturer declines any liability
should this safety measure not be observed.
Should the appliance power supply cable
need to be replaced, this should be carried
out by our Service Centre.
The feet must never be removed.
Do not restrict the floor clearance through deep-
pile carpets, strips of wood or similar. This might
cause heat build-up which would interfere with
the operation of the appliance.
Before switching on, make sure the electricity supply
voltage is the same as that indicated on the
appliance’s rating plate. (See picture on page 4).
Important
The appliance is supplied with a 13amp plug fitted.
In the event of having to change the fuse in the plug
supplied, a 13amp ASTA approved (BS 1363/A) fuse
must be used.
The hot air emitted by the tumble dryer can reach
temperatures of up to 60°C. The appliance must
