ENVIRONMENTAL NOTE
This appliance has been designed and manufactured with great care for the environment.
Dispose of the packaging in an appropriate way. Select the materials (polystyrene,
cardboard, plastic bags, etc.) in accordance with current standards and local regulations
governing waste disposal.
Remove the protective tapes from
the basket and the top and bottom
hangers.
Remove the accessories that come
inside the appliance on a polystyrene
tray.
1UNPACKING THE IRONING CENTRE
The specifications label is located
inside the water collection container.
This label must never be removed,
since it provides information about
the exact model of the ironing centre,
required power supply, serial number
and warranty.

This appliance does not require special installation but thought should be given to where it is to
be located in the home.
– 59 –
For correct operation, it is important
for the appliance to be installed
perpendicular to the floor; adjust the
two front legs and use a spirit level
to level the appliance.
1. Near the washing machine, to
make it easy to move the clothes
from one to the other.
2. Make sure that it is well ventilated;
in other words, that the air intake
and outlet grilles at the rear and on
the front (base) of the appliance are
not obstructed.
3. If possible, position the Driron in
a well-aired, cool place in the home.
If the ambient temperature around
the Driron is very high, the duration
of the programmes could be
excessive.
If you have installed the Driron
outside your home, make sure it is
protected from very low tempera-
tures. Otherwise, the water inside
the appliance could freeze and burst
a pipe or the tank in the interior.
4. Since the air is expelled through
the front base of the appliance at a
temperature of approximately 40°C,
take care when installing it on
delicate carpets.
2LOCATION IN THE HOME
3LEVELLING

At the rear of the appliance,
unscrew the pipe bracket.
Remove the pipe from the nozzle
and leave it hanging where it is.
The drainage pipe is in the top
basket inside the appliance. First
of all, fit the pipe to the drain and
then to the nozzle. Fasten the
bracket.
There should be a fixed water
outlet drain at a distance of
between 25 and 100 cm from
the floor.
Make sure that the drainage pipe
is not bent or squashed.
a
This container must be emptied after
each drying cycle.
Collection of the water in the removable container in the appliance:
If the appliance is not connected to the home drains, the water will automatically be collected
in a removable container in the bottom drawer at the front of the appliance.
b
The Driron has a condensation system that extracts the humidity from the clothes during the
drying process. This humidity is turned into water.
There are two types of installation: drainage to the mains or collection of the water in the removable
container in the appliance.
Connection to the drain system:
If the appliance is located such that it can be connected to mains drainage, the condensated
water will be discharged to mains drainage. Proceed as follows:

6PRELIMINARY CLEANING

1TYPES OF CLOTHES AND FABRICS
Chapter III - USE OF THE APPLIANCE
Types of clothes that can be treated in the Driron.
• The Driron does not cause wear to clothes since they do not move throughout the entire process.
They do not rub against each other and the warm air flows over them while they are dried and
ironed at moderate temperatures. There is no risk of fading, since they are not exposed to the
sun. The deterioration of the fabric fibres is reduced as direct contact with the iron is avoided or
minimised. The Driron processes do not use chemical products.
As a result, there are very few limitations to the Driron.
– 62 –
• It can also treat fabrics made with synthetic fibres only (conventional
polyester, polyamide, lycra, elastane or combinations of these fibres).
However, given the popularity of synthetic fibres in recent years, we
recommend caution and advise you to look at the manufacturer’s
recommendations for drying the fabrics. In any case, it is advisable
to position them as far away as possible from the hot-air intake grille
at the bottom of the wardrobe, making sure they do not slip and fall
on it. Place them on the hangers at the top or, if they do not crease,
use the top basket.
• The Driron can be used for all kinds of everyday clothing, shirts,
T-shirts, blouses, trousers, skirts and, in general, for all machine-
washable clothes.
• It can also be used for household linen, sheets, pillowcases, towels,
kitchen cloths, etc.
• It also has a basket for drying small clothes (socks, underwear,
etc.), which do not normally need to be ironed.
• Take particular care with light knitwear, which should never be
hung for drying, since it stretches easily. Given that this clothing
does not normally crease, it can be placed in the top basket.
• Clothes made of leather, suede, plastic, fur and, in general, clothes
that may be damaged by damp and heat must not be treated in
the Driron. For this type of clothing, use only the airing and
deodorisation programmes.
Treating the different types of fibres and fabrics
• The Driron can treat fabrics made from all kinds of natural fibre, cotton, linen, wool, silk, flannel,
viscose, etc. or fabrics made from combinations of these fibres. It can also treat fabrics which
contain a certain percentage of synthetic fibres.

English
1. Ironing and drying all kinds of newly washed garments.
The Driron removes the creases from clothes, making it unnecessary
to iron almost all everyday garments, leaving them dry and ready
to wear.
Simply take the clothes from the washing machine, place them
correctly in the Driron and select the desired programme. The
clothes will be ready to wear or put away in the wardrobe in
approximately 120 minutes.
2. Ironing dry garments.
The Driron has a specific programme for ironing dry garments
that do not need washing either because they have been in the
wardrobe for a long time or because they have become creased
during a journey, etc.
3. Drying damp clothes.
Especially designed as a complementary programme to
programmes 1 and 2, for garments that are still damp and for
damp clothes in general.
4. Airing dry garments.
The Driron airs and deodorises garments in approximately 60
minutes, so they are ready to be worn again.
5. An all-round solution for treating clothes at home.
Once the programme has finished, you can leave the clothes inside
the Driron until you want to take them out, without having to worry
about them getting wet, fading or creasing.
With the Driron at home, you don’t need a clothes line or a drier
and the pile of clothes waiting to be ironed disappears. Next to
the washing machine, it provides an all-round process for garments
at home.
6. Automatic programme end.
Except for programme (or group of programmes) No. 4, (Drying
damp clothes programme and Dry garments airing programme),
the machine uses an intelligent electronic control to decide when
the clothes are ready and, consequently, when the programme
should end. This means you do not have to worry about the
appliance or the programme.

How to use the clips
3ACCESSORIES FOR POSITIONING THE CLOTHES
Reinforced tenter clip
For the correct operation of the Driron, the clothes must be positioned correctly in the wardrobe.
To help with this, the Driron comes with a set of accessories made from materials that are heat-
and humidity-resistant.
– 64 –
Light tenter clip
Hanger: the top part swivels to
make it easy to hang the garments
and place them in the wardrobe.
Tenter clip: This must be placed
on the bottom of shirts and T-shirts
for better ironing.
They do not need to be used with
garments made of silk or viscose or
for garments with a high content of
synthetic fibres, such as polyester,
acrylic, etc.
The Driron has two types of Tenter
clips: a ‘strong’ clip for shirts in
general or for more creased
garments; and another ‘light’ clip
for cotton T-shirts or garments which
may stretch or go out of shape with
the stronger clip.
Once the shirt or T-shirt has been
buttoned up and placed on the
hanger, open a clip and insert the
bottom of the garment, making sure
that the clip is horizontal and in the
middle. Release the clip and let it
close. The garment should be
clipped tight and stretched along
the entire width of the clip.
When you place the garment in the
Driron, make sure that the clip
hangs freely in the wardrobe and
does not catch on other garments
or on the hangers at the bottom.
Hanger
You must use the hangers
that come with the Driron as
they are made of heat- and
humidity-resistant material.
IMPORTANT

English
Sleeve-straighteners
Trouser/skirt clip
– 65 –
Sleeve-straighteners: these help
to iron shirt sleeves.
Hold the straightener closed in one
hand and insert one in each sleeve,
making sure that the fabric of the
sleeve is stretched along the entire
length of the sleeve.
Release the straighteners so that
they open and the sleeves are
stretched.
Leave the lower tips of the
straightener outside the sleeve so
that it does not overstretch the cuff.
Trouser/skirt clip: these clips have
been specially designed for the easy
hanging of these garments inside
the wardrobe.
Attach the clip on the wardrobe
hanger, inserting it through the top
opening.
Insert the trouser leg into the clip
from bottom to top and release.
When you insert the trousers, the
top of the clip opens and, when it
is released, it closes to trap the
trousers.
Do the same with the other leg.
Leave the trousers to hang, making
sure that both legs are parallel and
opposite each other so as not to
crease the trousers.
To remove the garment, open the
top of the clip with a finger and the
leg falls out.
Do not use these
straighteners when the
sleeve fabric is prone to
overstretching. Take
particular care with the
narrow sleeves of T-shirts.
CAUTION

4PREPARING THE CLOTHES
– 66 –
Shirt/T-shirt: place the garment on
the hanger. Button it up. Place the
Tenter clip on the bottom and insert
the Sleeve-straighteners.
To place it in the wardrobe, make
sure the sleeves are in front of the
shirt.
Trousers: We recommend using
two hangers, one for each trouser
leg, as long as there is sufficient
room in the wardrobe.
Hang the trousers upside down,
making sure that both legs are
parallel and opposite each other.
Skirt: Fit to clips on the same
hanger.
Hang the skirt upside down.
Smalls: Lay out the clothes on both
levels of the removable top basket.
Household linen (sheets and
towels): Hang the sheets, pillowca-
ses, towels, etc. directly on the top
hangers. Hang the sheets correctly
folded. We recommend you use at
least two hangers for each sheet for
correct drying.
To hang the shirt on the
hangers and fit the tenter
clip, pull the top basket a
little bit out and hang the
hanger on it.
NOTE:

English
5PLACING THE CLOTHES IN THE WARDROBE
Make sure that the clothes do not
come into contact with or obstruct
the lower air outlet grille and are at
least 3 cm away. Under no
circumstances should garments be
placed on the grille.
– 67 –
Always make sure the central area
of the bottom hangers is free so that
the warm air can flow from bottom
to top (like a chimney) inside the
wardrobe.
Top basket: Remove the basket,
which has a stop to prevent it from
turning over and make it easy to put
in the wardrobe. Lay the garments
out evenly on both levels.
Spread the clothes out evenly:
Position the clothes evenly, covering
all the inside of the wardrobe. Do
not put one garment on top of
another or pile garments up on the
hangers.

To select the desired programme, proceed as follows:
When the clothes have been placed inside the wardrobe, turn the appliance on. The controls are
located in the bottom part of the Driron.

6SELECTING THE DRYING AND IRONING PROGRAMME

The Driron has various programmes depending on the treatment to be given to the garments and
the type of fabric.
(*) The duration of programmes
1, 2 and 3 is set automatically by
the appliance using the signals
transmitted to the Electronic
programmer during the process.
Consequently, a cycle can last more
or less time depending on the
number of clothes to be treated and
how damp they are. The table
shows approximate times for
reference purposes.

(**) Programme 3: this programme
uses steam and the tank in the
bottom of the functional part of the
appliance must have sufficient water
to generate the steam. This tank is
filled with the water that
condensates during the Drying and
ironing programmes (programmes
1 and 2). The tank may be empty
when the appliance is new and
neither of the two programmes have
been used or it may have emptied
as a result of several consecutive
Ironing programmes with dry
garments. In these cases, one or
more programmes must be run with
damp garments so that the tank
fills up with sufficient water.
(***) The duration of programmes
4 is set by the user using the cycle
time button (in minutes). Each
time the button is pressed, the cycle
time is increased by 20 minutes up
to a maximum of 2 hours (120
minutes) for the additional drying
programme. And 15 minutes for
each press of the button up to a
maximum of 1 hour (60 minutes) for
the Drying damp clothes.
The selected time is shown on the
display.
Once started, the display shows the
minutes remaining to the end of the
programme.
N.B. In the dry clothes airing
programme, it is a good idea to open
the Driron and remove the clothes
once the airing cycle has finished.
The Driron leaves the factory with the water tank empty. When the appliance is turned on for the first
time the pilot light comes on because the tank is empty. Consequently, before using Programme
3(dry clothes ironing) for the first time, run one or more programmes with damp garments (programme
1 or 2) until the pilot light remains off.

10 SELECTING ADDITIONAL FUNCTIONS
a

Interrupting the programme
Throughout the programme, the
drying level pilot light remains on
to indicate the target.
At the beginning of the
programme, the damp option
indicator flashes to indicate the
initial phase.
Once the first level of dampness
has been reached, the pilot light
remains on and the next level
begins to flash, and so on until the
selected option is reached. The
flashing pilot light indicates the
phase of the programme.
Once the selected option has been
reached, all the pilot lights will be
on (not flashing): final phase.
The exact duration of Programmes 1, 2 and 3 can not be known beforehand. It depends on the
following:
• Amount of garments to be dried and ironed.
• How damp the clothes are.
• The selected options.
The Driron itself determines the end of the programme automatically using its electronic sensors.
However, the user can see the approximate phase of the programme at any given time:
Press the general switch or the
button.
If you wish to interrupt the cycle,
to change the option or the
programme, first turn off the
Driron, select the new option or
programme and press the
button.
If you only want to interrupt the
programme for it to continue later,
press the button to pause it and
then press the same button when
you wish to continue the cycle.
Obviously, in these cases, you do
not need to open the door.

11 PROGRAMME CONTROL AND PROGRESS

ab

Opening the door
Whichever programme is being
used, if the wardrobe door is
opened (and it can be opened at
any time), the programme will be
automatically interrupted. And
when the door is closed, it will
continue at the point where it was
interrupted.
English
IMPORTANT
If you hear noises, do not worry. They are not
important and occur naturally. They do not affect
the operation of the Driron in any way.
You may still hear a fan noise inside.
This is not a reason for concern. It is
a safety device on the appliance which
comes on in certain cases and stops
automatically after approximately 2
minutes.
Noise during the heating and
cooling phase
During the heating phase, at the
beginning of the programme, and
during the cooling phase, once the
programme has finished, some of the
materials with which the Driron has
been made expand and contract,
making noises inside the appliance.
When the programme has
been interrupted
IMPORTANT
However, we recommend you do not open the door when the Driron is running
unless strictly necessary. This is because of the following:
• If you are working with Programme 1 or 2, when you open the wardrobe door, all
the hot air and damp will escape from inside, which could be very unpleasant for the
user.
When you close the door, the programme will continue from where it was interrupted,
but there may have been a significant loss of humidity and temperature required for
the ironing process. This will have a negative effect on the results and lead to an
unnecessary use of electricity.
• If you are working with Programme P3, besides the reasons given for Programmes
1 and 2, opening the door may, in random cases, cause interference to the electronic
safety systems on the appliance, blocking the operation of the Driron and causing the
display to show a fault message.
If this happens, turn off the Driron (by pressing the general switch) and leave it off for
between five and 10 minutes. Then restart the programme.
