High Heat
This button selects the drying temperature. When the button
is out low heat is selected and when it is pushed in high heat is
selected.
Drying Times
The drying time depends on the size of the load and on the type
of fabric it contains (see the table below).
A cool tumble cycle runs during the nal 10 minutes of the cycle.
High Heat Cotton is the most ecient setting in terms of
energy consumption (EU 392/2012). To reach maximum eciency,
select the highest temperature option.
Drying Times table
Maximum load sizes: 7 kg Maximum load sizes: 8 kg
DRYING TIMES AND OPTIONS
Drying times are approximate and may vary depending on the
following:
• Amount of water retained after the spin cycle: towels and
delicate items can retain a lot of water (if laundry retains
a large amount of water, use a longer cycle than the one
recommended).
• Fabrics: items of the same fabric, but with dierent texture and
thickness may have dierent drying times.
• Amount of laundry: single items and small loads take less time
to dry.
• Ironing: If you will be ironing laundry, remove while slightly
damp for better results. Items not being ironed can be left
longer.
• Temperature of the room: the lower the temperature of the
room, the longer it will take for the dryer to dry clothing.
• Bulky items: Bulky items require special care. We recommend
removing several times the items during the drying cycle to
shake them out.
Warning:do not over-dry items.
All fabrics contain natural dampness which helps to keep them
soft and uy.

Refresh
A short cycle suitable for refreshing bres and garments through
the emission of fresh air. It lasts about 10 minutes.
As this is not a drying cycle, it is not to be used for garments that
are still wet.
It can be used on any load size but is more eective on smaller
loads.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE
WARNING: unplug the dryer during the cleaning and
maintenance procedures.
Emptying the water tank after each cycle (see Fig. A).
Pull the container out of the dryer and empty it into a sink or
other suitable drain, then place it back properly. Do not use the
dryer without having inserted the container back in place.
Cleaning the door lter after each cycle (see Fig. B).
Pull the lter out and clean it by removing the lint from the lter
surface under running water or using a vacuum cleaner. For optimal
performance, dry up the lter before inserting it back in place.
Do not use the dryer without having reinserted the lter in place.
Remove the door lter as described below:
1. Open the door and pull upwards.
2. Open the lter and remove lint from all its parts. Replace the
lter correctly making sure it is fully seated.
The lter is an essential part for drying. It is intended to
collect the lint formed during the drying process. If the
lter is clogged, the air ow inside the dryer can become
seriously aected: this will increase the drying time and
energy consumption, and could damage the dryer.
Cleaning the condenser unit (see Fig. C).
Remove the condenser unit regularly (monthly) and clean o
any u deposits from the plates by running cold water along its
rear end.
Removing the condenser:
1. Open the condenser cover, unlock the three catches by
turning them 90° anticlockwise.
2. Pull on the grip to remove the condenser.
3. Clean the surface of the seals.
4. Replace the unit with the arrows pointing upwards, while
making sure that the catches are securely xed.
Cleaning the tumble dryer
• The external metal, plastic and rubber parts can be cleaned
with a damp cloth.
• Clean the front air intake grille regularly (every 6 months)
with a vacuum cleaner to remove any lint, u or dust
deposits. Furthermore, remove any lint deposits from the
front part of the condenser and from the lter area, using a
vacuum cleaner every so often.
• Do not use solvents or abrasives.
TRANSPORT AND HANDLING
Never lift the dryer by holding on to its top side.
1. Unplug the dryer
2. Remove the water from the water tank completely.
3. Make sure that door and water tank are properly closed.
4. If the drain hose is connected to your drainage system, re-
connect it to the back of the dryer (see "Installation" section in
the Safety Instructions).
