WEEE contains both polluting substances (which
can cause negative consequences for the
environment) and basic components (which can
be re
-
used). It is important to have WEEE
subjected to specific treatments, in order to
remove and dispose properly all pollutants, and
recover and recycle all materials. Individuals can
play an important role in ensuring that WEEE
does not become an environmental issue; it is
essential to follow some basic rules:

WEEE should not be treated as
household
waste;

WEEE should be handed over to the relevant
collection points managed by the municipality or
by registered companies. In many countries, for
large WEEE, home collection could be present.
In many countries, when you buy a new
appliance, the old one may be returned to the
retailer who has to collect it free of charge on a
one
-to-
one basis, as long as the equipment is of
equivalent type and has the same functions as
the supplied equipment.

2. VENTILATION
It is essential to use a venting hose to
carry the hot moist air away from the
dryer unless the dryer is situated in an
open space with a good air flow around it.
Recirculation of the moist air will prevent
the efficient operation of the dryer.
The hose is assembled to the machine as
shown.
The hose may be fitted through a wall or
through an open door or window. The
hose is 110 mm in diameter and will
extend 1,8 meters.
The following guidelines should be followed
when installing the exhaust hose.
Do not use two hoses joined together as
the drying performance will be reduced.

Do not restrict the flow of air through the
hose e.g. by kinking it or fitting a smaller
diameter connector to mount to a wall
opening.
Avoid the hose making U shaped curves
as this will restrict the flow of air and
increase the chance that water will collect
in the hose.
Check the hose regularly to remove any
build-up of fluff or water that may have
collected in it.
The following diagrams give examples of
good and bad installations.
H max
20 inches
(50.80 cm)
WARNING
The installation should prevent air
flowing back into the machine through
the exhaust hose. The machine could
be damaged electrically, and its safety
compromised, if the exhaust hose air
is allowed to re-enter the tumble dryer.

NOTES:
The management and the control of the
machine via App is only possible "by
proximity": it is therefore not possible to
perform remote operations (e.g.:
from
another room ; outside of the house).
The replacement of some components of
the smartphone (e.g. back cover, battery,
etc...) with non-
original ones, could result
in the NFC antenna removal, preventing
the full use of the App.
Thick cases or metallic stickers on
your smartphone could affect or
prevent the transmission of data
between machine and telephone. If
necessary, remove them.
If you do not know the position of
your NFC antenna, slightly move the
smartphone in a circular motion over
the One Touch logo until the App
confirms the connection. In order for
the data transfer to be successful, it is
essential TO KEEP THE SMARTPHONE
ON
THE DASHBOARD DURING THESE
FEW SECONDS OF THE PROCEDURE;
a message on the device will inform
about the correct outcome of the
operation and advise you when it is
possible to move the smartphone
away.
Place your smartphone so that the
NFC antenna on its back matches
