To save energy and to help protect the environment,
we recommend that you follow these hints:
• Try to load the maximum capacity of the machine
as small loads are uneconomical.
• Always load well spun laundry. The higher the spin
speed, the lower the electricity consumption and
the shorter the drying times.
• Do not over-dry laundry, this avoids creasing and
saves energy.
Select the drying programme according to the
type of laundry and the required degree of
dryness.
• To utilize the maximum load, laundry which is to
be dried ready to put away (store dry) can be dried
together with items to be ironed. To do this, select
the programme for iron-dry, remove the iron-dry
items at the end of the programme and then
finish-dry the rest of the load.
• Clean the filters regularly to avoid excessive drying
times and high electricity consumption.
• Ventilate the room well. The room temperature
should not exceed +35°C during drying.

Adjusting the level of conductivity
Water contains, a variable quantity of limestone and
mineral salts of which quantities vary according to
geographical locations thus varying its conductivity
values.
Relevant variations of the conductivity of the water
compared to those prefixed by the factory could
slightly influence the residual humidity of the laundry
at the end of the cycle.
Your dryer allows you to regulate the sensitivity of
the drying sensor based on conductivity values of
the water by using the following procedure.
Procedure:
Turn the programme selector dial to switch on the
appliance
In selection mode press simultaneously the buttons
3and 6until «C0» appears on the digits.
Adjusting the level of conductivity:
Press button 5 sequentially: the level of conductivity
is indicated by the lighting of the horizontal hyphens.

appliance. Do not obstruct the front ventilation grille
or the air intake grille 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. If it is not, raise or lower the feet until
it is.
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.
Important
The hot air emitted by the tumble dryer can reach
temperatures of up to 60°C. The appliance must
therefore not be installed on floors which are not
resistant to high temperatures.
P1106

temperature must not be lower than +5°C and
higher than +35°C, as it may affect the performance
of the appliance.
Electrical connection
This machine is designed to operate on a 220-230 V,
single-phase, 50 Hz supply.
Check that your domestic electrical installation can
take the maximum load required (2.4 kW), also
taking into account any other appliances in use.
Connect the machine to an earthed socket, in
accordance with current wiring regulations.
The manufacturer declines any
responsibility for damage or injury
through failure to comply with the
above safety precaution.
Should the appliance power supply
cable need to be replaced, this must
be carried out by our Service
Centre.
Important!
The power supply cable must be accessible after
installing the machine.
Stacking kit
A special stacking kit is available through your
dealer, to enable the mounting of the dryer on top of
a front loading washing machine with cover’s depth
between 48 and 60 cm.

Useful hints
• Try to load to the maximum capacity of the
machine as small loads are uneconomical.
For information, here is a list of the average
weights of some common laundry items.
Sheet 700 - 1000 g
Tablecloth 400 - 500 g
Kitchen towel 70 - 120 g
Table napkin 50 - 100 g
Towelling hand towel 150 - 250 g
Bathrobe 1000 - 1500 g
Man’s shirt 200 - 300 g
Pillowcase 100 - 200 g
Man’s pyjamas 400 - 500 g
Ladies’ nightdress 200 - 250 g
• Never tumble dry the following:
Particularly delicate items such as net curtains,
woollen, silk, fabrics with metal trim, nylon tights,
bulky materials such as anoraks, blankets,
eiderdowns, sleeping bags, feather quilts and any
items containing rubber foam or materials similar
to rubber foam.
• Always follow the instructions on garment labels:
may be tumble dried
normal drying (high temperature)
delicate drying (low temperature)
do not tumble dry
• Close pillowcases and covers with fasteners to
prevent small laundry items getting tangled inside
them. Close press studs, zips and hooks and tie
belts and apron strings.
• Sort laundry according to type and degree of
drying required.
• Do not over-dry laundry, this avoids creasing and
saves energy.
• Avoid drying dark clothes with light coloured fluffy
items such as towels as they could attract the
fluff.
• The laundry must be thoroughly spun before
tumble drying.
•Easy-care items, too, e.g. shirts, should be
briefly pre-spun before drying (depending on
crease resistance approx. 30 seconds or using the
special brief spin programme of your washing
machine).
• Knitted textiles (knitted underwear) may shrink a
little during drying. Please do not overdry items of
this type. It is advisable to allow for shrinkage
when choosing the size of new purchases.
• You can also put starched items into your dryer.
However, to achieve the desired starched effect,
choose the programme “iron dry”. 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.
• Remove the laundry when the dryer has finished
drying.
• If individual items are still damp after drying, set a
brief post-drying time, but at least 30 minutes.
This will be necessary particularly for multilayered
items (e.g. collars, pockets, etc.).

You must disconnect the appliance from the
electricity supply, before you can carry out any
cleaning or maintenance work.
External cleaning
Use only soap and water and then dry thoroughly.
Important: do not use methylated spirit, diluents or
similar products.
Cleaning the door
Clean periodically the interior part of the door to
remove any fluff from the seals around the filter.
Accurate cleaning ensures correct drying.
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.
The light “Pluizenfilters” is on to remind you this
operation.
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 loses fluff when drying but it goes un-noticed
in the air. In a tumble dryer it simply collects in the
filter.

Clean it with a brush and rinse it under the shower if
necessary.
Also clean the outside, removing all fluff.
Clean the rubber seal round the condenser cabinet
and in the inner part of the small door with a damp
cloth.
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.
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. The pilot light“Waterhouder”
reminds you this operation.
Proceed as follows:
•Pull out the reservoir
•Turn it upside down and let water flow down
•Re-fit the reservoir
The reservoir must be re-inserted correctly.
If this is not done the pilot light “Waterhouder”
comes on during next drying and the programme
stops, leaving the laundry damp. The buzzer will
sound.
After emptying and inserting the reservoir the
START/PAUZE-button has to be depressed again to
allow the programme to continue

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).
Cleaning the drum
When your laundry does not reach the desired
degree of dryness, in other words, when it turns out
either too dry or too damp, we advise you to clean
the inside of the drum with a cloth soaked with
vinegar.
This will eliminate the slight patina that has formed
in the drum (due to residues of detergent and
softeners used in the washing, and to the lime
contained in the water), which prevents the probes
from detecting the correct degree of dryness.
