safety recommendations when using the dryer
• Never insert your hands or load or unload clothing when your dryer is in
operation or when the drum is turning.
• Clean the dryer’s lint trap after each cycle in order for the dryer to per-
form better and avoid lint around the area where the dryer is installed.
Never operate the dryer without the lint trap
• Do not dry clothing or articles that are stained with combustible or explosive
substances (such as wax, oil, paint, gasoline, degreasers, dry cleaning
solvents, kerosene, etc.) applied on cleaning cloths, sackcloth, towels used in
beauty salons, restaurants, barber shops, etc., because they could catch on
or cause an explosion.
• The washing and drying process can reduce the retardant capacity of the
fabrics. To avoid this result, carefully follow the instructions found on the
manufacturer’s tag on the clothing item. For example, padded bras, tennis
shoes, rubber shoes, bath mats, rugs, bibs, rubber underpants for babies,
plastic balls, pillows, etc.) which could melt or burn. Some rubber materials,

loading and using the dryer
Always follow the manufacturer care tag for the fabric when you wash and dry clothing.
advice for sorting and loading clothing
As a general rule, if the clothing is appropriately sorted for the washer, it is
appropriately sorted for the dryer as well. Do not add fabric softener sheets once
the load of clothing has begun to warm. They can cause stains.
Do not overload the dryer. This will waste energy and cause wrinkles. Do not dry
the following articles: Articles made of fiberglass, wool, those covered in rubber,
plastics, with plastic trims or parts, or those filled with foam.
This function is activated only in the automatic cycles (COTTONS, PERMANENT
PRESS and DELICATES).
The Dryness Sensor provides greater accuracy in the drying process than in standard
machines, resulting in shorter dry times and better care of the garments.
While the clothing spins in the drum, it touches the Dryness Sensor.
The sensor stopsthe heat cycle as soon as the clothing has reached the dryness level;
it will stop regardless of the cycle and/or time selected, thereby saving energy.

models with light bulb
Before replacing the bulb of the rotating drum,
make sure to disconnect the dryer from the power

Damage to your dryer caused by these products is not covered by warranty.
the lint trap filter
Clean the lint trap filter after every use.
Remove it by pulling it in a straight line
upward. Run your fingers across the filter.

obstruction. A partially obstructed exhaust duct can lengthen dry time.
1. Turn off the power supply, disconnecting the
plug from the wall outlet.
2. Disconnect the duct from the dryer.
3. Vacuum the duct with the vacuum hose and
reconnect the duct.
