Drying hints
BBeeffoorreellooaaddiinnggtthheellaauunnddrryy
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 rub-
ber foam or materials similar to rub-
ber foam.
• Always follow the instructions on gar-
ment labels:
may be tumble dried
normal drying (high tempera-
ture)
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 resist-
ance approx. 30 seconds or using
the special brief spin programme on 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 sof-
tener when you are washing the
laundry or a fabric conditioner specif-
ically 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,
for at least 30 minutes. This will be
necessary particularly for multilayered
items (e.g. collars, pockets, etc.).
Do not dry wool in the dryer. May
become entangled! After air-drying,
wool may be dried with the WOOL
CARE programme.

Objective Implementation
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.
To access adjustment mode:
1. Turn the programme selector dial to switch on the
appliance.
2. In selection mode,press simultaneously the buttons
DRYNESS and START.
Press the buttons down until until «C0» appears on the digits.
Adjusting the level of conductivity: Press the START/PAUSE
button sequentially: the level of conductivity is indicated by
the lighting of the horizontal hyphens.
Normally, the appliance is factory-set to the highest level;
however, certain models may be configured differently.

You must DDIISSCCOONNNNEECCTTthe appliance
from the electricity supply, before you
can carry out any cleaning or mainte-
nance work.

IImmppoorrttaanntt: do not use methylated spirit,
diluents or similar products.

Clean periodically the interior part of
the door to remove any fluff from the
seals around the filter. Accurate clea-
ning ensures correct drying.
CClleeaanniinnggtthheeffiilltteerrss
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 clea-
ned aatttthheeeennddooffeeaacchhpprrooggrraammmmee,
before removing the laundry, with a
damp cloth.
The light is on to remind you of 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.
After a while, a whitish patina due to
detergent residue on laundry forms on
the filters. When this occurs, clean the
filters with warm water using a brush.
Remove the filter in the door opening
as per picture (it can be positioned with
the tooth facing to the left or to the
right).

Clean the condenser when light
comes on.
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.
During the drying cycle or at the end, it
is normal for water to be present on
the surface of the condenser insertion.
To pull out the condenser, first turn the
two red stops downwards and then
remove the condenser unit holding it at
the handle.
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 cabi-
net and in the inner part of the small
door with a damp cloth..
IImmppoorrttaanntt!!Do not use pointed
objects or utensils to clean the spaces
between the plates, as this could dam-
age the condenser and make it perme-
able. Re-fit the condenser, turn the red
stops upwards and close the door.

Water extracted from the laundry con-
denses inside the machine and is col-
lected 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
reminds you this operation.

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
the reservoir correctly
• Push it until it clicks and turn the yel-
low stop downwards to ensure it is
firmly locked.
• Close the small door and press the
START/PAUSE button again to allow
the programme to continue.
The reservoir must be re-inserted cor-
rectly. If this is not done the pilot light
comes on during next drying and
the programme stops, leaving the laun-
dry damp. The buzzer will sound for
1 minute.
After emptying and inserting the reser-
voir the START-button has to be
depressed again to allow the pro-

gramme to continue.
HHaannddyyttiipp::The condensed water may
be used in a steam iron or to top up a
battery, etc. In this case it must be fil-
tered (e.g. through a coffee filter).
Cleaning the air intake grille
Using a vacuum cleaner remove the
fluff from the air intake grille at the back
of the appliance.

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.
