OPENING OF THE DOOR DURING THE CYCLE
Laundry can be checked while the drying cycle runs and any
garments already dry can be removed, while drying continues for
the remaining items. After closing the door, press the "Start/Pause"
button to resume machine operation.
Keep the door closed until the cycle end to save time and energy.
DAILY USE
Doing this will keep your machine working at its BEST:
- remember to empty your water tank after each drying cycle.
- remember to clean your lters after each drying cycle.
Refer to the Care & Maintenance section.
1. Plug the dryer into the power supply socket.
2. Open the door and load garments; always refer to instructions on
clothing labels and the max loads indicated in the programme
section. Empty pockets. Make sure garments do not get caught
between the door and/or the door lter. Do not load items that
are dripping wet. Do not tumble dry large, very bulky items.
3. Close the door.
4. Press the "On/O" button.
5. Select the most suitable programme for the type of fabric in that
load.
6. Select the options, if necessary.
7. Press the " Start/Pause" button to begin drying.
8. At the end of the drying cycle, a buzzer will beep. An indicator on
the control panel signals the end of the cycle. Pull the load out
immediately to prevent the formation of creases on laundry.
9. Turn the machine o by pressing the "On/O" button, open the
door and pull the clothing out. If the machine is not switched o
manually, after about a quarter of an hour from the end of the
cycle , the appliance turns o automatically to save energy.
Note that some programme/option accords with "Crease Care"
system. This means that for some hours, after the end of the
drying cycle, the drum rotates at regular intervals to prevent the
formation of creases.
In case of power failure, it is necessary to press the "Start/Pause"
button to restart the cycle.
CARE LABEL
Always check the care labels, especially when placing garments in
the tumble dryer for the rst time. Below are the most commonly

PROGRAMS
Eco kg Max*
This is the most ecient programme in terms of energy
consumption and is suitable for drying normal wet cotton
laundry. The values on the Energy Label are based on this
programme.
NOTE: For optimal energy eciency this cycle by default is set up to
"Cupboard Dry" level. For a higher dryness level we suggest using
the Cotton cycle.

fabrics together.
Bed linen kg Max*

Shirts kg 3
This is a programme for Shirts made from cotton or cotton
blend/synthetics.

easier. Suitable for small load of damp or dry cotton and cotton
blend fabrics. Not for wet items.
Refresh
A short programme suitable for refreshing bres and
garments through the emission of fresh air. Do not use on wet
items. It can be used on with any load size but is more eective

level of residual moisture on garments. An indicator signals the

FreshCare+
If laundry is left inside of the drum once the cycle has
ended, it can be subjected to bacterial proliferation. This
option helps to prevent this from happening by controlling the
temperature and gently rotating the drum. This will continue for
up to 6 hours after the end of the cycle. This setting will remain in
the memory of the previous cycle. If this is used alongside Start
Delay, a crease treatment will be perfomed during this phase by
periodic rotations of the drum.

the "On/O" button. When the machine is on:
• to activate the option, keep the button pressed until the
machines signals that the option has been enabled.
• to disable the option, keep the button pressed until the machine
signals that the option has been disabled.
This option remains in memory if selected in previous drying.

cycle. Enable it if you are not sure to hear the normal sound at the
end of the cycle. This option remains in memory if selected in the
previous drying.

warnings remain active.
• to activate the option, keep the button pressed until the
indicator goes on.
• to disable the option, keep the button pressed until the indicator
goes o.
The duration of these programs will depend on the size of the
load, types of textiles, the spin speed used in your washer and
any extra options selected. In machines equipped with display,
the duration of the cycles is shown on the control panel. The
remaining time is constantly checked and adjusted during the
drying cycle to show the best possible estimate.
Option to use - If all your loads on Automatic Cycles are
consistently less dry or more dry than you would like, you may
increase or decrease the dryness level using the specic option.
*MAX LOAD 8 Kg (Dry load)

2. Air Intake
3. Bottom lter and condenser
4. Door lter
The lters are essential parts for drying. They are intended
to collect the lint formed during drying process. In case
of clogged lters, the air ow inside the dryer would be
seriously aected: the drying times would be longer, the
energy consumption would increase and the dryer could be
damaged. If these procedures are not carried out properly,
the dryer may not start.
