Washing Hints
Before loading the laundry
Never wash whites and coloureds together. Whites may lose
their «whiteness» in the wash.
New coloured items may run in the first wash; they should
therefore be washed separately the first time.
Make sure that no metal objects are left in the laundry (e.g. hair
clips, safety pins, pins). Button up pillowcases, close zip fasteners,
hooks and poppers. Tie any belts or long tapes.
Remove persistent stains before washing. Rub particularly
soiled areas with a special detergent or detergent paste.
Treat curtains with special care. Remove hooks or tie them
up in a bag or net.
Maximum Loads
General rules:
Cotton, linen: tub full but not too tightly packed;
Synthetics: tub no more than half full;
Delicate fabrics and woollens: tub no more than one third full.
Sorting The Laundry
Follow the wash code symbols on each garment label and
the manufacturer’s washing instructions. Sort the laundry as
follows: whites, coloureds, synthetics, delicates, woollens.
Temperatures
Hot for normally soiled white cottons and linen
(e.g. tea cloths, towels, tablecloths, sheets...)
Warm
for normally soiled, colour fast garments (e.g.
shirts, night dresses, pyjamas....) in linen,
cotton or synthetic fibres and for lightly soiled
white cotton (e.g. underwear).
Cold
for delicate items (e.g. net curtains), mixed
laundry including synthetic fibres and wool-
lens bearing the label «pure new wool, ma-
chine washable, non-shrink».
Removing Stains
Stubborn stains may not be removed by just water and deter-
gent. It is therefore advisable to treat them prior to washing.
Blood: treat fresh stains with cold water. For dried stains, soak
overnight in water with a special detergent then rub in the
soap and water.
Oil based paint: moisten with benzine stain remover, lay the
garment on a soft cloth and dab the stain; treat several times.
Dried grease stains: moisten with turpentine, lay the garment
on a soft surface and dab the stain with the fingertips and a
cotton cloth.
Rust: oxalic acid dissolved in hot water or a rust removing
product used cold. Be careful with rust stains which are not
recent since the cellulose structure will already have been
damaged and the fabric tends to hole.
Mould stains: treat with bleach, rinse well (whites and fast
coloureds only).
Grass: soap lightly and treat with bleach (whites and fast
coloureds only).
Ball point pen and glue: moisten with acetone (*), lay the gar-
ment on a soft cloth and dab the stain.
Lipstick: moisten with acetone as above, then treat stains
with methylated spirits. Remove any residual marks from
white fabrics with bleach.
Red wine: soak in water and detergent, rinse and treat with ace-
tic or citric acid, then rinse. Treat any residual marks with bleach.
Ink: depending on the type of ink, moisten the fabric first with
acetone (*), then with acetic acid; treat any residual marks on
white fabrics with bleach and then rinse thoroughly.
Tar stains: first treat with stain remover, methylated spirits or
benzine, then rub with detergent paste.
(*) do not use acetone on artificial silk.

Detergents and Additives
Good washing results also depend on the choice of deter-
gent and use of the correct quantities to avoid waste and
protect the environment. Although biodegradable, detergents
contain substances which, in large quantities, can upset the
delicate balance of nature.
The choice of detergent will depend on the type of fabric
(delicates, woollens, cottons, etc.), the colour, washing tem-
perature and degree of soiling.
All commonly available washing machine detergents may be
used in this appliance:
• powder detergents for all types of fabric,
• powder detergents for delicate fabrics and woollens,
• liquid detergents, preferably for low temperature wash
programmes for all types of fabric, or special for woollens
only.
Pour liquid detergent directly into the wash tub before adding
wash load.
The additives must be placed in the appropriate compart-
ments of the dispenser before starting the wash programme.
Any fabric softener must be poured into the compartment
marked «Softener» before starting the wash programme. Do
not exceed the «MAX» mark in the fabric softener compartment.
Overfilling can cause early dispensing of the fabric softener
which could result in stained clothes.
Do not pour fabric softener directly on the wash load.
The bleaching agent (chlorine) can be used only for white
cotton and linen items. Pour it into the compartment marked
«Bleach». Bleach is dispensed immediately to the bottom of tub
as you pour it in the «Bleach» compartment. Follow up with 250
ml of water to flush the dispenser.
Do not pour undiluted liquid chlorine bleach directly onto the
load or into the tub. Fabric damage can occur.
Quantity of Detergent to be Used
The type and quantity of detergent will depend on the type of
fabric, load size, degree of soiling and hardness of the water
used. Follow the product manufacturers’ instructions on
quantities to use.
Use less detergent if:
• you are washing a small load,
• the laundry is lightly soiled,
• large amounts of foam form during washing.
Degrees of Water Hardness
Water hardness is classified in so-called «degrees» of hard-
ness. Information on hardness of the water in your area can
be obtained from the relevant water supply company, or from
your local authority.
Before the First Use
Ensure that the electrical and water connections comply with
the installation instructions.
WARNING!
Remove any material from the tub.
We recommend you to run a Normal/Cotton cycle, with Hot
water and no laundry in the appliance, to remove any manu-
facturing residue from the tub. Pour 1/2 a measure of deter-
gent into the tub and start the cycle.

Drying Hints
Before loading the laundry
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 re-
quired.
• 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 advis-
able to allow for shrinkage when choosing the size of new
purchases.
• 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, for at least 30 minutes. This will be
necessary particularly for multilayered items (e.g. collars,
pockets, etc.).
Before the First Use
Ensure that the electrical connections comply with the instal-
lation instructions.
WARNING!
IMPORTANT!
IMPORTANT!
Remove any material from the drum.
Before using your tumble dryer for the first time, we recom-
mend that you place a few damp cloths inside the appliance
and dry for 30 minutes. There may be dust inside a brand
new tumble dryer.

Dryer Operating Sequence
1. Check that the lint filter is
clean and in place.
2. Load the dryer and close the door.
• Load items loosely. The average wet load will fill the
drum 1/3 to 1/2 full. Items need room to tumble freely
for even drying and less wrinkling.
• If desired, place a dryer fabric softener sheet on top of
the load at the beginning of the cycle.
• To save energy and time and avoid uneven drying and
wrinkling, do not overload the dryer.
• When drying large items, dry only two or three items at
a time. Fill out the load with small and medium sized
items.
• For delicate or very small loads, add two or three similar
items to improve tumbling action.
3. Select the appropriate programme and settings for each load.
See «Drying Hints» and «Dryer Programme Table» for more
details.
4. Wake up and start the dryer.
• Close the dryer door. The dryer will not operate with the
door open.
• Push in or turn the cycle selector knob 1or turn any op-
tion knob 2or 3to “wake” the dryer. You will hear three
beeps to indicate dryer is ready to operate.
• After making your selections, push in the selector knob
1to start the cycle. You will hear one beep before the
drum begins to rotate.
• To add or remove items when the dryer is running, push
in the cycle selector knob 1to pause the cycle and
open the door. Opening the door with a cycle running
will also pause the cycle. You will hear two beeps. Allow
the drum to come to a complete stop before reach-
ing inside. Add or remove the item, close the door and
push in the selector knob 1again, continuing the current
cycle.
• To stop a running cycle, push in the cycle selector knob 1.
13
Do not operate dryer without lint filter in place.
IMPORTANT!
If drying a single large or bulky item, such as a comforter,
remove the item part way through the cycle and turn it “inside
out” to maximize drying effectiveness. Place item back in
dryer and re-start cycle.
NOTE
5. When the programme ends...
• Remove the items promptly and hang or fold.
• You are advised to unplug the appliance.
• Clean the filter after every drying programme. A clean
filter ensures correct functioning of the appliance.

14
Care and Cleaning
Inside Dryer
• Your dryer will only function well if the filter is clean. Clean the lint («fluff»)
filter after every load. Lint build-up on the filter restricts air flow, which
causes longer drying times. The filter is located at the bottom of the
door opening. Remove filter by pulling straight up. Remove the lint and
replace the filter.
Inside Washer
• Remove items from the washer as soon as the cycle ends. Excess wrin-
kling, color transfer, and odors may develop in items left in the washer.
• Descaling: The water we use normally contains lime. It is a good idea to
periodically use a water softening powder in the appliance. Do this sepa-
rately from any laundry washing, and according to the softening powder
manufacturer’s instructions. This will help to prevent the formation of lime
deposits.
• When extremely soiled items have been washed, a dirty residue may
remain on the tub. Remove this by wiping the tub with a nonabrasive
household cleanser. Rinse thoroughly with water.
Fabric Softener Dispenser
• Remove the dual chamber insert (a) from the bleach and fabric softener
dispenser by pinching at the chamber divider and lifting upward. Also
remove the siphon cap (b).
• Rinse the insert and cap with a combination of 200 ml liquid chlorine
bleach and 4 litres hot tap water to remove any buildup. Large amounts
of fabric softener residue may indicate improper dilution or more fre-
quent cleaning is required. Rinse well with tap water.
• For the dispenser well, use a small brush to clean the recesses. Remove
all residue.
• Replace the siphon cap and insert by pressing it in place until you hear a
slight click.
External Cleaning
• Clean the exterior cabinet of the appliance with soap and water only,
and then dry thoroughly.
• If your water is very hard or contains traces of lime deposit, the water in-
let filter may become clogged. It is therefore a good idea to clean it from
time to time. Turn off the water tap. Unscrew the water inlet hose. Clean
the filter using a hard bristle brush. Tighten up the inlet hose.
The dangers of freezing
If the appliance is exposed to temperatures below 0°C, certain precautions
should be taken.

Installation
Unpacking
All transit bolts and packing must be removed before using
the appliance. You are advised to keep all transit devices
so that they can be refitted if the appliance ever has to be
transported again.
1.After removing all the packaging, carefully lay the appliance
on its left side. Use a rug, blanket or piece of cardboard to
protect the floor.
2.With a suitable spanner unscrew and remove the following
from the bottom and rear of the appliance:
• shipping bolt
• plastic spacer
• wire clip securing drain hose end
3.Carefully return the appliance to an upright position.
Positioning
Install the appliance on a flat hard floor. Make sure that air
circulation around the appliance is not impeded by carpets,
rugs etc. Check that the appliance does not touch the wall or
other kitchen units. Make sure there are no obstructing items
or material near the air-intake louvres provided at the back
(e.g. paper, rags etc.).
Level the appliance by raising or lowering the feet. The feet
may be tight to adjust, but the appliance MUST be level and
stable. Any necessary adjustment can be made with a span-
ner. The feet must never be removed.
Accurate levelling prevents vibra-
tion, noise and displacement of
the appliance during operation.
Never place cardboard, wood
or similar materials under the
appliance to compensate for any
unevenness in the floor.
If necessary, check the setting
with a spirit level. Improper instal-
lation could cause an increase of
vibration and noise, especially during spinning phases.

Electrical connection
This machine is designed to operate on a 220-240 V, single phase, 50 or
60 Hz (depending on country of final destination). Check that your domes-
tic electrical installation can take the maximum load required (4,5 Kw) also
taking into account any other appliances in use.
Connect the machine to an earthed socket, in accordance with current
wiring regulations.
The power supply cable must be accessible after installing the ma-
chine. If the flexible cord is provided without plug, the appliance must
be provided an accessible all pole disconnection according to 61058-1
for overvoltage category 3. The nominal cross-sectional area of con-
ductors must be minimum 4,0 mm2.
IMPORTANT!
WARNING!
The manufacturer declines any responsibility for damage or injury
through failure to comply with the above safety precautions.
Supplied strain relief fits supply cords ranging from 11.4 mm to 18.0 mm.
If your installation requires a cord outside these dimension parameters,
purchase and install the appropriate strain relief from a local supply store.
IMPORTANT!
After installation ensure that earth wire is longer than power wires.
IMPORTANT!
Installing power supply cord
1. Turn off power supply to outlet.
2. Remove large, plastic access cover shield (item 11, page 5) on
dryer back sheet.
3. Remove the screw (6) securing the terminal block access cover on
the back of the dryer.
4. Remove the strain relief cap nut (7) and thread the dryer power cord
through it.
5. Continue threading the power supply cord through the strain relief
below the terminal access, temporarily leaving the cap nut loose at
this time.
6. Attach the power cord neutral conductor to the “N” terminal (5) on
the terminal block. Tighten the screw securely.
7. Attach the power cord ground (earth) conductor to the “ ” terminal
(4) on the terminal block. Tighten the screw securely.
8. Attach the power cord “live” conductor to the “L” terminal (3) on the
terminal block. Tighten the screw securely.

Venting
Whilst drying, the tumble dryer will expel a certain amount
of warm, very moist air, and this should be removed from
the room as quickly as possible to prevent condensation.
Carry the dryer’s exhaust outside via a 100 mm diameter
venting system ending at a fixed ventilation grille fitted to an
exterior wall. The dryer must be exhausted outdoors. Do
not exhaust dryer into a chimney, a wall, a ceiling, an attic, a
crawl space or any concealed space of a building. A clothes
dryer produces combustible lint. If the dryer is not exhausted
outdoors, some fine lint will be expelled into the laundry area.
An accumulation of lint in any area of the home can create a
health and fire hazard.
Exhaust air must not be discharged into a flue which is used
for exhausting fumes from appliances burning gas or other
fuels, for example, a
cooker hood, or a chim-
ney or flue pipe designed
to carry the exhaust from
a fuel burning appliance.
Use only 100 mm diameter rigid or flexible metal duct and
approved vent hood which has a swing-out damper(s) that
open when the dryer is in operation. When the dryer stops,
the dampers automatically close to prevent drafts and the
entrance of insects and rodents. To avoid restricting the
outlet, maintain a minimum of 30 cm clearance between the
vent hood and the ground or any other obstruction.
WARNING!
WARNING!
The appliance must not be installed behind the lockable door,
a sliding door or a door with a hinge on the opposite side to
that of the appliance, in such a way that a full opening of the
tumble dryer door is restricted.

Exceeding the length of duct pipe or number of elbows
allowed in the “MAXIMUM LENGTH” chart can cause an ac-
cumulation of lint in the exhaust system. Plugging the system
could create a fire hazard, as well as increase drying times.
Install male fittings in correct direction:
correct incorrect
If installing flexible metal (semi-rigid) venting, do not exceed 2 m
total duct length.
Do not screen the exhaust ends of the vent system, or use
any screws, rivets or other fasteners that extend into the duct
to assemble the exhaust system. Lint can become caught in
the screen, on the screws or rivets, clogging the duct work
and creating a fire hazard as well as increasing drying times.
Use an approved vent hood to terminate the duct outdoors,
and seal all joints with metal foil duct tape.
All male duct pipe fittings MUST be installed downstream
with the flow of air.
