To save energy and to help protect the environment,
we recommend that you follow these hints:
• Try to load the maximum capacity of the machine
as small loads are uneconomical.
• Always load well spun laundry. The higher the spin
speed, the lower the electricity consumption and
the shorter the drying times.
• Do not over-dry laundry, this avoids creasing and
saves energy.
Select the drying programme according to the type
of laundry and the required degree of dryness.
• To utilize the maximum load, laundry which is to be
dried ready to put away (store dry) can be dried
together with items to be ironed. To do this, select
the programme for iron-dry, remove the iron-dry
items at the end of the programme and then finish-
dry the rest of the load.
• Clean the filters regularly to avoid excessive drying
times and high electricity consumption.
• Ventilate the room well. The room temperature
should not exceed +35°C during drying.
Tips for environmental protection
• Packaging materials
The materials marked with the symbol are
recyclable.
This means that they can be recycled by disposing of
them properly in appropriate collection containers.
• Machine
Use authorised disposal sites for your old appliance.
Help to keep your country tidy!

Installation
Warning!
Unpacking
Slide out the polythene bag with the
polystyrene stuffing before using the appliance.
Positioning
It is recommended that, for your convenience, the
machine is positioned close to your washing machine.
Whilst drying, the tumble dryer will expel a certain
amount of warm, very moist air, and this should be
removed from the room as quickly as possible to
prevent condensation. In an extremely well ventilated
room or close to an open window, this may occur
naturally.
However, in general, it is better to carry the dryer's
exhaust outside via the 100 mm diameter flexible
hose supplied with the appliance; ending either
temporarily at an open window, or permanently at a
fixed ventilation grille, fitted to an exterior wall or
window.
The tumble dryer must be installed in a clean place,
where dirt does not build up.
Make sure there are no obstructing items or material
near the air-intake louvres provided at
the back (e.g. paper, rags etc.).
To keep vibration and noise to a minimum when the
dryer is in use, it should be placed on a firm, level
surface.
Once in its permanent operating position, check that
the dryer is absolutely level with the aid of a spirit
level. If it is not, raise or lower the feet until it is.
P0046
P1106
The feet must never be removed.
Do not restrict the floor clearance through deep-
pile carpets, strips of wood or similar. This might
cause heat build-up which would interfere with
the operation of the appliance.
Important
When operating the tumble dryer, the room
temperature must not exceed 35°C, as it may affect
the performance of the appliance.
Fitting the vent hose
To simplify the installation, there is a choice of vent
outlets: one at the back, the others in the left and
right-hand side.
Connect the hose to whichever is the more
convenient by pulling the ring nut (A) from the vent
outlet at the back, screwing it on to the hose and
pushing it firmly back into place.
The unused vents should now be sealed with the
special snap covers provided.
Advice: If the hose is long and the room
temperature low, the moisture might condense to
water inside the hose. This is an unavoidable
natural phenomenon. To prevent this water from
Iying in the hose or flowing back into the tumble
dryer, it is advisable to drill a small hole (dia.
3 mm) in the lowest point of the hose and to place a
small container below it.(See picture, point B).

Once connected to the dryer, run the vent hose to
the desired outlet point, ensuring that the run’s
overall length is less than 2 m, and that it contains no
more than two bends. As to the outlet itself, if you
have decided on a fixed wall/window grille, a good
local builder’s merchant should be able to supply you
with the necessary fittings and installation advice.
It is important not to connect the vent
hose to, for example, a cooker hood, or
a chimney or flue pipe designed to carry
the exhaust from a fuel burning
appliance.
Note that to avoid condensation problems, it is
essential that the dryer be fitted with the flexible hose
to carry its “exhaust” at least beyond the kitchen
units; preferable outside the kitchen.
In order to prevent the appliance from overheating, it
is important that the steam exhaust is unobstructed.
Therefore, in case of a permanent hose fitted to an
exterior wall or ceiling, it must be ensured an
exhaust capacity of at least 150 m3/h.
If the dryer is fitted next to kitchen units, make
sure that the vent hose is not squashed. If the
hose is partially squashed, drying efficiency will
be reduced, resulting in longer drying times and
higher energy consumption.
If the hose is completely squashed, the safety
cut-outs with which the machine is fitted may
operate.
P0055
Electrical connection
This machine is designed to operate on a 220-230 V,
single-phase, 50 Hz supply.
Check that your domestic electrical installation can
take the maximum load required (2.2 kW), also
taking into account any other appliances in use.
Connect the machine to an earthed socket, in
accordance with current wiring regulations.
The manufacturer declines any
responsibility for damage or injury
through failure to comply with the
above safety precaution.
Stacking kit
A special stacking kit is available through your
dealer, to enable the mounting of the dryer on top of
your washing machine.

1 Programme Chart
This will help you to select the correct time for drying.
2 Low Temperature Button
Press this button to reduce the temperature when
drying particularly delicate cotton or linen items.
In this case you should select a longer drying time.
On the programmes for synthetics the temperature is
automatically reduced.
Therefore it is not necessary to depress this button.
3 Start Button
After selecting the drying time press this button to
start the programme.
If the door is opened during drying, this button has to
be depressed again after closing the door to allow
the programme to continue.
4 Mains-On Light
This lights up when the machine starts operating and
goes out by turning the selector dial to “O” and when
you open the door.
5 Drying 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, you should
remember that it includes a 10 minute cooling phase
(position on the dial).
This phase should not be shortened, stopped or
avoided, as this could cause skin burns or damages
to the laundry.
Additional drying
If at the end of the programme the laundry is still too
damp, set the dial for a further period of drying
(remembering to take into account the cooling
period).

Never overfill the drum (do not load large quilts, for example).
The laundry must be suitably spin dried in your washing machine before being placed in the tumble dryer
(500rpm minimum).
Drying times vary according to:
- The type of laundry
- The size of the load
- The degree of spinning prior to drying
Drying times are given as a guide only. Experience will soon enable you to estimate the drying time needed for
your usual laundry loads.
Do not start by selecting a long drying time. It is better to determine the required degree of dryness by gradually
increasing the drying time.
For a mixed load (cotton and resistant synthetics, for example) select the time for the most delicate fibres and
increase it by 10 mins.

load a few moist cloths into the dryer and to let it run
for about 20 minutes. This ensures that no dust and
dirt is left in the drum.
1. Load the laundry
Open the door.
Load the items one at a time, shaking them out
loosely and close the door.
Please check the laundry does not get caught
between the door and filter.
2. Depress button ,if required
3. Select the drying time
Turn the selector dial clockwise to the desired time,
in the high or low temperature section, depending on
the laundry.

4. Start the machine
Depress Start-button , the mains-on light comes
on and the machine starts operating.
5. When drying is completed
The machine stops automatically. Turn the selector
dial to “O”, the mains-on light goes out.
If the laundry is still too damp, select a further brief
drying time, bearing in mind that during the last 10
minutes the dryer carries out the cooling and anti-
crease treatment phase.
Clean the filters after every drying programme
(see page 13).
This will ensure correct functioning of the
appliance.

Useful hints
• Try to load to the maximum capacity of the
machine as small loads are uneconomical.
For information, here is a list of the average
weights of some common laundry items.
Sheet 700 - 1000 g
Tablecloth 400 - 500 g
Kitchen towel 70 - 120 g
Table napkin 50 - 100 g
Towelling hand towel 150 - 250 g
Bathrobe 1000 - 1500 g
Man’s shirt 200 - 300 g
Pillowcase 100 - 200 g
Man’s pyjamas 400 - 500 g
Ladies’ nightdress 200 - 250 g
• Never tumble dry the following:
Particularly delicate items such as net curtains,
woollen, silk, fabrics with metal trim, nylon tights,
bulky materials such as anoraks, blankets,
eiderdowns, sleeping bags, feather quilts and any
items containing rubber foam or materials similar
to rubber foam.
• Always follow the instructions on garment labels:
may be tumble dried
normal drying (high temperature)
delicate drying (low temperature)
do not tumble dry
• Close pillowcases and covers with fasteners to
prevent small laundry items getting tangled inside
them. Close press studs, zips and hooks and tie
belts and apron strings.
• Sort laundry according to type and degree of
drying required.
• Do not over-dry laundry, this avoids creasing and
saves energy.
• Avoid drying dark clothes with light coloured fluffy
items such as towels as they could attract the fluff.
• The laundry must be thoroughly spun before
tumble drying.
•Easy-care items, too, e.g. shirts, should be briefly
pre-spun before drying (depending on crease
resistance approx. 30 seconds or using the special
brief spin programme of your washing machine).
• Knitted textiles (knitted underwear) may shrink a
little during drying. Please do not overdry items of
this type. It is advisable to allow for shrinkage
when choosing the size of new purchases.
• You can also put starched items into your dryer.
However, to achieve the desired starched effect,
choose the programme “iron dry”. To remove any
starch residues, wipe out the internal drum after
drying with a moist cloth and then rub it dry.
• To avoid a static charge when drying is completed,
use either a fabric softener when you are washing
the laundry or a fabric conditioner specifically for
tumble dryers.
• Remove the laundry when the dryer has finished
drying.
• If individual items are still damp after drying, set a
brief post-drying time, but at least 20 minutes.
This will be necessary particularly for multilayered
items (e.g. collars, pockets, etc.).

Maintenance and Cleaning
You must disconnect the appliance from the
electricity supply, before you can carry out any
cleaning or maintenance work.
External cleaning
Use only soap and water and then dry thoroughly.
Important: do not use methylated spirit, diluents or
similar products.
Cleaning the door
Clean periodically the interior part of the door to
remove any fluff from the seals around the filter.
Accurate cleaning ensures correct drying.
Cleaning the filters
Your dryer will only function well if the filters are
clean.
The filters collect all the fluff which accumulates
during drying and they must therefore be cleaned at
the end of each programme, before removing the
laundry, with a damp cloth.
The filter in the inner door must be removed for
cleaning.
Do not be alarmed by the amount of fluff. It is not
due to excessive wear caused by the dryer. All fabric
loses fluff when drying but it goes un-noticed in the
air. In a tumble dryer it simply collects in the filter.
