Do not allow the children to play with the
appliance.
Prevent your children and pets to enter the
dryer drum.
Air in the dryer environment should not
contain dust particles.
The air where the dryer is installed, should
be well ventilated to prevent feedback of
gases released from the gas appliances with
open fire (e.g. fireplace).
Final drying cycle includes cooling; be
careful not to extract excessively hot
laundry from the drum.
Clean the filters after each drying cycle. If
you have removed the filters, replace them
before the next drying cycle.
After each cleaning insert the condenser
back into the air duct. Operation of the
appliance without condenser, or with
damaged condenser is extremely dangerous
and may cause fire.
Always switch off the dryer after use (the
program selector switch should be in the
"OFF" position) and unplug the power cord
from the wall outlet (to prevent the hazard of
lightning or voltage overload).
Leave any repairs and similar tasks on the
dryer to an expert.
Unprofessional repair may result in an
accident or major malfunction. Call the
authorized service department (see list of
service departments attached).
The warranty does not cover (consumables
(light bulbs), minor deviations in colour,
increased noise which is a consequence of
the appliance age and does not affect the
functionality of the appliance, and aesthetic
defects on components that do not affect

5 cm
493183
Ventilation slots and the opening on the front and rear side should always be kept free.
Do not install the appliance in a room where there is danger of frost.
The room in which the appliance is installed should be adequately ventilated, with
temperature between 10°C and 25°C. When the dryer is operated at a lower ambient
temperature, condensate can accumulate in the appliance interior.Frozen water in the
condensate tank or pump may damage the dryer.
The surrounding illumination in the installation room should be adequate to read the front
panel properly.
When installing the dryer in a room, note the required clearance as indicated in the image.
In case of failure to heed the required minimum clearance, the dryer may overheat.

13
POSITIONING THE APPLIANCE
4X
493183
Positioning the appliance on top of the washing machine by using the vacuum feets or
side by side.
Dryer can be stand freely on the floor or on a washing machine of the same dimensions
– minimum width 517 mm, minimum depth 476 mm. The surface on which the dryer is
placed should be clean and level.
Use the vacuum feet attached; they are designed to prevent the dryer from sliding.
(Vacuum feet are attached or can be purchased (depending on model)).
Washing machine on which you wish to install the dryer must be able to bear the weight
of the dryer (see washing machine's rating plate or technical information).

14
493183
Do not place the dryer behind lockable or sliding door or door
with a hinge opposite the dryer. Install the dryer in such way
that the door can always be freely opened.
Never block the cool air opening (see dryer description).
Drying machine on top should be placed by at least two
persons.
Do not place the dryer on a carpet with long fibres as this may
impede air circulation.
The appliance may not be in contact with a wall or adjacent
furniture.
Lint must not be allowed to accumulate around the tumble
dryer.

15
INSTALLATION
493183
Level the dryer in
longitudinal and
traverse direction
by rotating the
adjustable feet
which allow levelling
by +/- 1 cm. Use
key nr. 22 and spirit
level.
Floor on which the machine is placed must have a concrete
base. They must be clean and dry; otherwise, the machine may
slide. Also clean the adjustable feet.
The appliance must stand level and stable on a solid base.
Vibrations, moving of the appliance across the room, or loud
operation due to improperly adjusted feet are not covered by
the warranty.
Sometimes, unusual or loud noise may appear during
appliance operation; these are mostly the result of improper
installation.

16
CONDENSATE DISCHARGE
max 80 cm
493183
The moisture from the laundry is extracted in the condenser unit
and accumulated in the condensate tank.
During the drying process, a control light will warm you of a full
condensate tank which has to be emptied.
Interruption of the drying cycle due to full condensate tank can be
avoided by running the condensate discharge tube found at the
back of the appliance directly into a drain.
If the condensate discharge tube is run into a drain, make sure
the tube is firmly secured. This will prevent any water spillage
which could result in unexpected damage.
In this case, the steam generator tank will not be filled
automatically. It will always require manual filling (see section
Filling and replenishing the steam generator tank).
1Pull the tube to remove it with
flat screw-driver,
from the holder on
the appliance back
wall (on the left
hand side under the
cover).
2Install tube into the drain, at
a height of 80 cm
from the ground.

17
ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
2h
493183
The dryer should be left to stand still for at least two hours
before it is connected to the power mains to allow the system to
stabilize.
Use the power cord to connect the dryer to the power mains
through a power outlet. The dryer may not be connected to the
power mains through an extension cable (danger of overheating
and fire). Nominal voltage and other information is given on the
rating plate located under the door frame.
To prevent from damage by excess voltage on the mains due
to lightning strike we recommend to use a class I over-voltage
protector between the machine and the mains.
After installation, the wall outlet should be freely accessible.
The outlet should be fitted with an earth contact (in
compliance with the relevant regulations).
A damaged power cord may only be replaced by a person
authorized by the manufacturer.

18
SUBSEQUENT TRANSPORT
MOVING AND TRANSPORT
493183
After each drying certain amount of condensed water is retained
in the appliance. Switch on the appliance and choose one of the
programs, then let the appliance operate for approximately half
a minute. This will pump out the remaining water and prevent
damage to the dryer during transport.
After transport, the dryer should be left to stand still for at
least two hours before it is connected to the power mains to
allow the system to stabilize. We recommend that installation
and connection should be done by a qualified person.
If the appliance was not transported in compliance with the
instructions, the dryer should be left to stand still at least two
hours before it is reconnected to the power mains.
Before connecting the appliance, read the instructions for
use. Repair or any warranty claim resulting from incorrect
connection or use of the appliance shall not be covered by the
warranty.
The belt can be replaced by a servising engineer only, who
incorporates an original spare part with the marking OPTIBELT
EPH 1906, code 104265, OPTIBELT 8 EPH 1941, code 160165
(depending on model).

19
EMPTYING THE STEAM GENERATOR TANK
(ONLY FOR MODELS WITH STEAM GENERATOR)
493183
Before transporting a dryer that has been previously used, the
steam generator tank must also be emptied. Otherwise, water
from the tank may spill into the dryer interior. Move the dryer
approximately 40 cm away from the wall and tilt it backwards.
1The steam
generator tank
emptying plug is
located on the front
side (lower right
hand side).
2Place an empty vessel under the
plug (approximately
2 l) and pull out the
plug
3When the water is discharged,
replace the plug
(if the plug is not
replaced, water will
spill from the dryer
during the next
drying cycle).

STEAM GENERATOR SYSTEM
(DEPENDING ON THE MODEL)
493183
After the end of the drying program, immediately remove the
laundry from the dryer to prevent it from creasing again.
Care and treatment of your laundry with steam.
Use steam to straighten the creases and refresh the laundry. The
laundry will become soft and smooth, making ironing much easier.
