Important information
To ensure that the condenser dryer functions
efficiently, the following routine maintenance
procedures must be carried out:
Fluff filter  CLEAN off any fluff build-up on the
filter after each drying cycle.
Step 1
Open the dryer door by pressing
it as shown in the picture.
Step 2
Pull out the filter (using two
fingers).
Step 3
Clean off any fluff build-up on the
internal surface of the filter net.
Step 4
Replace the filter  ne er operate
the dryer without the filter in
place.
Failure to clean the filter after each drying cycle
can undermine drying performance as the
machine takes longer to dry and thus consumes
more energy.
Water container  empty the water container after
each drying cycle.
Step 1
Pull the water container towards
you and remo e it completely
from the dryer.
Step 2
Empty all the water in the water
container.
Step 3
Replace the water container
making sure that it is securely
fixed.
Failure to empty the water container may cause
the following:
- The dryer stops heating (thus the load may still
be damp at the end of the drying cycle).
- The Empty water container LED lights up to
signal that the water container is full.
Filling of the Water Container
When the dryer is first used water will not
immediately enter the water container as the pump
needs to be primed. This is done automatically and
will take a few minutes, during this period the
efficiency of the drying process is not affected.

EN
3
Condenser unit - remove any fluff build-up
from the condenser on a monthly basis.
Step 1
Open the condenser co er
- grip the handle and pull
towards you.
Step 2
Remo e the condenser by
turning the 3 catches, then pull
the condenser towards you. (It is
normal for some residual water
to be left in the tubes).
Step 3
Clean the condenser with running
water o er the rear side to
remo e any fluff deposits.
Step 4
Replace the condenser unit;
make sure that the unit is
securely in place, that all 3
catches are fixed and that the
position arrows on the front end
of the condenser are pointing
upwards.
Failure to clean the condenser unit may cause
premature faults to the dryer.

Where to install the tumble dryer
 Install the dryer far from gas
ranges, sto es, radiators or
hobs, as flames may damage it.
If the dryer is installed below a
worktop, ensure there are 10
mm between the upper panel of
the dryer and any objects
abo e it, and 15 mm between
the sides of the machine and
the walls or furniture units
adjacent to it. This ensures
adequate air circulation.
Ventilation
 The room must be adequately entilated while the dryer is
running. Make sure that the dryer is installed in a room free
of humidity and with adequate air circulation. The flow of air
around the dryer is essential to allow water to condense
during drying; the dryer will not function properly if it is
placed in an enclosed space or inside a cabinet.
! Some condensation may form if the dryer is used in a
small or cold room.
! We do not recommend installing the dryer in a cupboard;
moreo er, ne er install the machine behind a lockable, sliding
or hinged door located on the opposite side of the dryer
door.
Water drain
If your dryer is installed next to a drain the water can be
plumbed into this drain. This does away with the need to
empty the water container. If the dryer is stacked onto or
installed next to a washing machine it can share the same
drain. The height of the drain must be less than 3' (1 m)
from the bottom of the dryer.
Remo e existing hose from position shown in picture A
and fit a suitable length of hose and connect as shown
in picture B.
! Make sure that the hose is not squashed or kinked
when the dryer is in its final location.

without a fuse co er. If a replacement fuse holder/co er is
required, it must be of the same colour coding or wording as
shown on the base of the plug.
Replacements are a ailable from authorised dealers.
Changing the plug
The wires in the power cord are coloured in accordance
with the following.
 If the plug being replaced is a non-rewirable type, then the
cut-off plug must be disposed of safely. DO NOT lea e it where
it can be inserted into a socket and create a shock hazard.
 The power cord should be checked periodically and replaced
by a cord specially prepared for this dryer and fitted only by
authorized technicians (see Service). New or longer power
cords are supplied at an extra charge by authorized dealers.
 The manufacturer denies any responsibility should any
of these rules not be followed.

Special/Sport/Partial Programmes
Eco Time Programme
This programme is ideal for safely drying small loads in a short time, thereby optimising energy consumption. Suitable for loads of
up to 2 kg, it lasts about 1:00 (hrs:mins). The programme may last longer depending on the size and density of the load and on the
spin speed used during the wash cycle
We recommend checking whether garments are labelled with the symbol and to turn them inside out before drying them.
Wool Programme
This programme is specific for items that withstand tumble drying and are labelled with the symbol. It is suitable for loads of up
to 1 kg (about 3 jerseys). We recommend turning the garments inside out before drying them. This programme lasts about 1:00
(hrs:mins), although it may last longer depending on the size and density of the load and on the spin speed used during the wash
cycle. Garments dried with this programme are usually ready to be worn, although the edges of hea ier garments may be slightly
damp. Lea e them to dry naturally, as an additional drying process may damage them.
Unlike other materials, the shrinking process in wool is irre ersible, i.e. the garment does not resume its original dimension and
shape.
This programme is not suited for acrylic items.
Silk Programme
This programme is specifically intended for drying delicate silk garments. It can be used for loads of up to 0.5 kg.
This programme lasts about 1:50 (hrs:mins), although it may last longer depending on the size and density of the load and on the
spin speed used during the wash cycle. Garments dried with this programme are usually ready to be worn, although the edges of
hea ier garments may be slightly damp. If this occurs, remo e the load, open the garments and reacti ate the programme for a
short while.
Only for garments bearing the tumble dry symbol on the care label.
Programmes and options
The duration of the wash cycles can be monitored on the display.

Jeans Programme
This programme is suited to washing cotton denim jeans. Turn the front pockets inside out before drying the jeans. It is suitable for
loads of up to 3 kg (about 4 pairs).
This programme lasts about 1:25 (hrs:mins), although it may last longer depending on the size and of the load and on the spin
speed used in the wash cycle. Garments dried using this programme are usually ready to be worn, though edges and seams may
be slightly damp. In this occurs, turn the jeans inside out and reacti ate the programme for a short while.
Use this cycle for 100% cotton garments only; do not mix dark and light colours and a oid using this programme for garments
with embroidery and accessories (elastic strings around the waist area, brooches, etc.); turn pockets inside out.
Outwear Programme
This programme is specific for drying water-repellent fabrics and sports jackets (e.g. Gore-Tex, polyester, nylon). Drying the
garment after a wash cycle has a beneficial effect as it reacti ates the garments water-repellent treatment.
It can be used for loads of up to 2 kg. The programme lasts about 2:00 (hrs:mins), although it may last longer depending on the
size and density of the load and on the spin speed used during the wash cycle.
Sport Intensive Programme
This programme is studied for safely drying garments such as tracksuits and shorts bearing the symbol. It is ideal for clothes
which do not need to be dried fully. Suitable for loads of up to 4 kg, it lasts about 1:20 (hrs:mins), although it may last longer
depending on the size and density of the load and of the spin speed used during the wash cycle. We suggest turning garments
inside out before drying them.
Sport Light Programme
This programme is studied for safely drying garments such as tracksuits and shorts bearing the symbol. It is ideal for those
garments that do not need to be dried fully or which ha e to be ironed. Suitable for loads of up to 4 kg, it lasts about 1:10
(hrs:mins), although it may last longer depending on the size and density of the load and of the spin speed used during the washing
cycle. We suggest turning garments inside out before drying them.
Special Shoes Programme
This programme is specific for drying sports shoes of sizes 37-46. The shoes must ha e been pre iously washed and spun at a
minimum spin speed of 400 revolutions.
A specific shoe rack is pro ided and must be used, otherwise the dryer will be damaged if shoes are dried in the drum. Remo e the
filter from its holder on the front part of the dryer and position the shoe rack.
Place shoelaces inside the shoes then load with the tips of the shoes facing downwards and the soles frontwards.
Drying times ary according to the shape and type of the shoe. If the shoes are not completely dry at the end of the programme,
restart the programme.
Do not dry shoes that ha e gel or flashing lights inside them. Only dry shoes made of synthetic material or rope. Once the
programme ends, remo e the shoe rack and replace the filter into its holder.
Easy Iron
A short 10-minute programme that relaxes the garments fibres in order to facilitate ironing and folding.
This programme is particularly recommended for cotton or mixed cotton fabrics.
For optimal results, do not o erload the drum (the following alues refer to the weight of dry garments):
Fabric: maximum load
Cotton and mixed cotton: 2.5 kg
Synthetic garments: 2 kg
Jeans: 2 kg
Empty the dryer as soon as the programme ends; hang, fold or iron garments then place them in the wardrobe. If this is not
possible, repeat the programme.
As this is not a drying programme, it is not to be used for garments that are still wet.
The effect produced by the programme aries according to the characteristics of the each fabric: fabrics such as acrylic fibres or
Tencel® do not gi e the same results as traditional fibres (e.g. cotton).
Refresh
A short programme suitable for refreshing fibres and garments through the emission of cool air. It lasts about 0:20 (hrs:mins).
As this is not a drying programme, it is not to be used for garments that are still wet.
