Rev. nº 03/0418
DANGER!
RISK OF SPONTANEOUS COMBUSTION
Because of the temperature of the linen, there is a potential risk of spontaneous combustion of the laundry load
inside the dryer.
To avoid the risk of spontaneous combustion, it is very important to follow these instructions:
 Finish off drying programs with the cooling phase and do not remove the load until the cycle is completely
finished.
 Once the drying cycle has finished or in situations where there is a power failure, remove the linen quickly
from inside the dryer.
 Do not allow lint to accumulate in critical areas of the machine. Lint is readily flammable.
 No washing machine can completely remove oils from fabrics. Never dry articles of linen that are stained
with oil. Never dry articles of linen containing rubber. Use the dryer ONLY to dry fabrics washed in water.
DANGER!
SPECIFIC WARNINGS FOR DRYERS WITH ELECTRIC HEATING
If the machine is at a high temperature and the fan stops or the power supply is disconnected, the heat
accumulated in the heater box is released through the grille in the top cover as hot air. Therefore:
 Never obstruct this ventilation grille.
 Do not place any object or substance on this cover.
 Do not touch the dryer’s top cover.
DANGER!
SPECIFIC WARNINGS FOR GAS-HEATED DRYERS

It is essential for the machine to be connected to external protection (earthed).
HIGH TEMPERATURE RISKS
Do not remove any safety guards without first making sure the machine is cool (<35 ºC / 90 ºF).
Do not put the hands anywhere near the exposed surface of the drum, particularly, the laundry
output area or the heating circuit elements.
Wear heat insulating gloves to protect the hands from the continuous contact with hot laundry.
FIRE RISKS
Lint and soot are highly flammable substances.
It is essential to avoid these building up inside the machine and the exhaust ducting running from
the machine to the outside.
To achieve this, all the places likely to collect lint and soot must be regularly cleaned (e.g.:
covers, exhaust ducting, filter, fan, etc.).
Also keep the area around the machine free from lint and any other inflammable materials or
substances.
Remove the linen from inside the dryer without delay. This will prevent creases in the fabric and
reduce the risk of spontaneous combustion.

4.3.1. Program groupings
The dryer has 50 programs grouped into three types:
 Programs that can be programmed by the user: Programs that are empty of content, where programs can
be created and stored. (Maximum number of programs that can be programmed: 40.
 Preset programs: Ten preset programs with different drying cycles. Only their names can be changed, not
their content.
 Manual program. A program that allows the user to program a drying cycle for a single use only, and which
is NOT stored in the dryer’s memory. Its appearance on the program list is optional and can be selected in
the OPTIONS menu from the Tools menu (see Section 7.1.2).
4.3.2. Order that the programs are displayed on the screen
The machine displays four programs per screen in the following order of appearance:
 Top four: List of the four most commonly used programs (either preset or programmed), arranged by
frequency of use. On starting up the dryer for the first time the screen displays the first four pre-recorded
programs. As different programs are run, these are displayed in the top four positions.
 Manual program: If the manual program display is enabled and is not used, it will be positioned after the list
of the top four.
 Programs created by the user: List of the created programs. If no programs have yet been created, the
machine displays the preset programs directly.
 Preset programs: List of ten programs preset in the machine’s memory.

Precautions at the end of the drying program
N.B. It is very important:
 To remove the linen from inside the dryer without delay. This will
prevent creases in the fabric and reduce the risk of spontaneous
combustion.
 To clean the lint filter on a regular basis. Lint prevents extraction and
reduces the performance of the dryer. Use the indication for periodic
cleaning of the lint filter in the general settings Configuration menu.
(Section 7.1.1). Further information about cleaning the filter can be
found in Chapter 11.
 The final temperature of the linen can be high. Protect hands with heat-
insulated gloves.
4.3.5. Standby mode at end of program
If the load is not removed immediately on completing the drying program and corresponding cooling phase, the
machine will remain in standby mode. In this state, the machine will rotate the drum every 30 minutes for 1
minute and run the extractor.
The maximum time in standby mode is 120 minutes.
