[. . . ] If the machine is used for any other purposes or is not used correctly, the manufacturer accepts no responsibility for any damage that might occur. · Clothes which are dripping wet should not be placed in the dryer. · Danger of explosion: Never tumble dry items that have been in contact with inflammable solvents (petrol, methylated spirits, dry cleaning fluid and the like). · Please make sure that no gas lighters have accidentally been left in pockets of garments to be loaded into appliance. [. . . ] · Clean the filter and condenser unit regularly to avoid excessive drying times and high electricity consumption. The room temperature should not exceed +35°C during drying. 5 ENGLISH 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.

The tumble dryer must be installed in a clean place, where dirt does not build up. Do not obstruct the front ventilation grille or the air intake grilles at the back of the machine. 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. Do not restrict the floor clearance through deeppile carpets, strips of wood or similar. This might cause heat build-up which would interfere with the operation of the appliance. Important The hot air emitted by the tumble dryer can reach temperatures of up to 60°C. 20 min. (1) Never overfill the drum (do not load large quilts, for example). Drying times vary according to: · The type of laundry · The size of the load · The degree of spinning prior to drying. Fresh & Cool This position on programme selector dial can be used to freshen the laundry (e. g. to remove a persistent odour of moth-balls). Load It is often difficult to estimate the weight of items to be dried. We therefore recommend that you adopt the following guidelines: · cotton, linen: drum full but not too tightly packed; · synthetics: drum no more than half full; · delicate fabrics: drum no more than one third full. 10 Operating sequence Before using your tumble dryer for the first time, we recommend to place a few damp cloths inside the appliance and dry for 20 minutes. There may be dust inside a brand new tumble dryer. After each use · Switch the appliance off by turning the programme selector dial to "0". · Clean the filter and empty the water reservoir (see page 13). If the drying programme has to be stopped before it reaches the end, we recommend that you turn the programme selector dial to position (cooling) and wait until the end of this phase before removing the laundry. Modifying the programme To change a programme which is running, first cancel it by turning the programme selector dial to "0". To remove any starch residues, wipe out the internal drum after drying with a moist cloth and then rub it dry. · To avoid a static charge when drying is completed, use either a fabric softener when you are washing the laundry or a fabric conditioner specifically for tumble dryers. · If individual items are still damp after drying, set a brief post-drying time, but at least 20 minutes. [. . . ] Pull the filter upwards in order to remove it. 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. 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. P1026 Important: Remove the fluff around the filter too. [. . . ]
