The control panel
1. Programme chart
To help select the correct time for drying.
2. Mains-on light
Comes on when the appliance is switched on (ON/OFF button pressed down) and goes out when the ON/OFF
button is released.
3. ON/OFF button
This button is used to switch the dryer on. At the end of the programme, release this button by pressing it again
to switch the dryer off.
4. Low temperature button
Press this button to reduce the temperature when drying particularly delicate cotton or linen items. In this case
a longer drying time should be selected.
5. Cool tumble button
By depressing this button the heat is cut off. This is particularly useful to freshen the laundry or to dry extremely
delicate items.
6. Start button
Press this button to start the dryer after having selected the programme.
If the door of the appliance is opened while the programme is running, this button must be pressed again after
closing the door in order to restart the programme from the point at which it was interrupted.
7. Water full indicator light

This light illuminates when the reservoir is full or improperly fitted.
8. Time selector dial
The selector dial incorporates two drying cycles, one of up to 150 minutes at a high temperature for cotton and
linen, and one of up to 100 minutes at a low temperature for synthetic fabrics. To set the machine to the
selected time, turn the dial clockwise until the time you want coincides exactly with the pointer.
NEVER attempt to turn the dial in an anticlockwise direction.
When selecting the drying time remember that it includes a 10 minute cooling phase. This phase should not be
shortened, stopped or avoided, as this could cause skin burns or damages to the laundry.
Programme chart
Cottons
Selector dial up to 150 minutes (high temperature section)
Synthetics
Selector dial up to 100 minutes (low temperature section)

NB Please follow the instructions on labels when drying mixed fabrics.
Drying times are given as a guide only and vary according to the size of the load, the type of laundry, the degree of
spinning prior to drying.
Start by selecting a short drying time. If necessary, perform an additional drying cycle afterwards.
Size of load
It is not necessary to weigh the laundry, if these instructions are followed:
•Cottons, linen: full drum, but not overloaded
•Synthetics: half drum
For a mixed load (cotton and synthetics, for example) select the drying time suitable for the most delicate fabrics and
then increase it by approximately 10 minutes.
Operating sequence
Drying
1. Open the door.
2. Load the items one at a time, shaking them out loosely.
3. Close the door. Please check the laundry does not get caught between the door and filter.
4. Press the ON/OFF button: the mains-ON light comes on.
5. Select the drying time.
6. If required, press the low temperature button or the cool tumble button.
7. Press the start button: the machine starts operating.
The drum turns alternately in both directions during drying.
All drying programmes end with a 10 minute cooling phase. The machine stops automatically at the end of this
phase.
8. Release the ON/OFF button (the mains-ON light goes out) and immediately remove the laundry.
After each use
Switch the appliance off by releasing the ON/OFF button. The mains-ON light goes out.

NB If the drying programme has to be stopped before it reached the end, turn the programme selector dial to the
cooling position and wait until the end of this phase before removing the laundry. This will avoid a build-up of heat
inside the appliance.
Modifying the programme
To change a programme which is running without opening the door, first depress the ON/OFF button and then turn
the time selector dial to the required time. Press the ON/OFF button again.
