Advice and tips before you tumble-dry
Here are some tips that may help you before you
begin tumble-drying.
Have the clothes been spun?
Items to be tumble-dried should be spun at 1000
rpm or faster. Higher spin speeds save energy
and reduce drying time.
Materials that can be tumble-dried
This symbol means that the material is
suitable for tumble-drying. Fabrics best suited
to tumble-drying are cotton fabrics, terry cloth
and synthetic bres. Garments will be softer and
lighter when tumbled than when hung out to dry.
NOTE!
The tumble dryer does not cause any signicant
wear on fabrics. The lint that collects in the lint
lter consists of dust and bre residues formed
when the items are used.
Materials that must not be tumble-
dried
This symbol means that the material is not
suitable for tumble-drying. Certain materials may
melt or become a re hazard if exposed to heat,
and others can lose their shape or shrink.
And do not tumble-dry
• materials labelled "Do not dry near heat".
• garments that have been dry-cleaned at
home.
• plastic foam.
• breglass material.
• wool must not be tumble-dried because of the
risk of felting.
Static electricity
• To reduce the risk of static electricity in the
laundry after tumble drying you can:
• Use fabric softener when washing.
• Wait ve minutes after the drying program
ends before opening the door and removing
the laundry from the dryer.
NOTA!
You can stop the tumble dryer by pressing the
Stop button for three seconds or by opening the
door. In both cases the programme is stopped
and starts from the beginning if restarted.
If you do not want to restart the programme then
immediately remove all laundry and spread it out
to allow the heat to dissipate.

10
Below are step-by-step instructions to help you
achieve the best possible tumble-drying results.
1
Sort your fabrics
You will achieve the most uniform drying
results if the items are made of the same
type of material. Do up zips and buttons, fasten
belts, sort the items and adjust the load and
temperature.

Installation
Positioning the tumble dryer
The tumble dryer can be free-standing or in a
stack. Remember that the tumble dryer produces
heat and should therefore not be located in a
room that is too small. If the room is very small,
drying will take longer due to the limited quantity
of air.
WARNING!
• Any electrical installation must be carried out
by qualied professionals.
• The machine must not be installed behind a
lockable door, a sliding door or a door with
hinges on the opposite side to those of the
tumble dryer.
• The tumble dryer's plinth ventilation must not
be blocked by a rug or the like.
NOTE!
To improve ventilation, leave the door to the room
where the tumble dryer is located open.
Freestanding
The tumble dryer can be positioned beside the
washing machine. An air gap of at least 5 mm
must be left between the washing machine and
the tumble dryer.
Stacking
The tumble dryer can be placed on top of a IMESA
washing machine. Use the two foot cups found
in the document bag included with the machine
and the two tip guards attached to the bottom left
corner of the back of the machine.
How to assemble the stack:
1. Remove the two tip guards from the back of
the tumble dryer. Replace the screws that held
the tip guards in place.
2. Undo the two screws indicated on the back of
the washing machine.
3. Secure the anti-tilt device using the screws as
shown in the picture.
4. Attach the plastic cups for xing the tumble
dryer’s front feet to the washing machine’s
top cover. This is essential, as only when the
tumble dryer’s feet are resting in the plastic
cups can you be sure that the tumble dryer is
correctly positioned on the washing machine.
Break o tag A on the cup tted on the right-
hand side and tag B on the cup tted on the
left-hand side. Then remove the paper from
the self-adhesive surface under the plastic
cups.

5. Fit the plastic cups so that the “tags” marked
with arrows are against the front edge or side
edge of the cover and press them rmly onto
the cover. Then break o the remaining tags.
6. Push out the knock-out hole on the back of
the tumble dryer (you must not remove it, just
open it) using a hammer and screwdriver.
7. Push the tumble dryer in under the metal
brackets. At the same time keep the front edge
raised by 10 mm to 20 mm.
8. Lower the tumble dryer’s front feet into the
plastic cups and adjust the tumble dryer to
ensure it is level.
Adjusting the feet
Screw the feet in or out so that the tumble dryer is
both stable and level.
Air evacuation
The air vented from the tumble dryer must be
channelled to an exhaust air duct or an exhaust
outlet in the wall using the supplied vent hose.
Connection to the tumble dryer
The tumble dryer has three options for venting
air: at the back, on the right side and on the left
side. One hole is open when the tumble dryer is
supplied. The other two have covers. The tumble
dryer comes with a connector (1), a plastic band
(2) and a vent hose (3).

Fit the air evacuation system as follows:
1. Slip the vent hose onto the connector and
secure it using the plastic band.
2. Remove the plastic cover if you want to t the
vent hose to one of the holes other than the
one already open.
3. Insert the connector with the vent hose into the
opening.
4. Place the cover over the open hole.
