LOUVRES

Install the appliance in a well
ventilated room or close to a
window since, whilst drying,
the tumble dryer will expel a
certain amount of moist air.
Room temperature must not
exceed 35°C,
Condensation may be
discharged either through a
vent outlet provided at the
back or through the side vent
outlet.
The unused outlets must be
covered with the cover
provided for such a purpose.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE INSTALLER
With the special plastic
flexible tube (vent hose),
available on request by your
local dealer, you may
discharge condensation
directly outdoors.
The length of the vent hose
must not be more than 2 m
and it must not contain more
than two bends when it is
placed in position for
operation.
It is absolutely essential not
to connect the flexible vent
hose to, for example, a
chimney or flue pipe
designed to carry the exhaust
from a fuel burning heating
appliance.
The capacity of the venting
circuit must be at least
150 m*/h.
The tumble dryer must be
installed in a clean place,
where dirt does not build up.
Make sure there are no
obstructing items or materials
near the air-intake louvres
provided at the back (such as
for example paper, rags, etc.).
Level the tumble dryer into
place by screwing or un-
screwing the front feet as
required.
Accurate levelling will keep
vibration and noise to a mini-
mum when the dryer is in use.

PROGRAMME
SELECTOR DIAL
The selector dial is marked
with times in minutes
corresponding with those on
the chart (page 11).
To set the machine to the
selected time, turn the dial
clockwise until the time you
want coincides exactly with
the pointer.
The selector incorporates
two drying cycles, one of up
to 120 minutes at a high tem-
perature for natural fabrics,
and one of up to 80 minutes
at a low temperature for
synthetic fabrics.
Never attempt to turn the
dial in an anticlockwise
direction,
SET
THE TUMBLE DRYER
Load the damp laundry and
then, before starting the
appliance, carry out follow-
ing checks:
— The mains switch is on.
— The vent hose, if you have
one, is in position.
— The door is properly
closed.
Select the drying time by
turning the selector dial
clockwise to the required
time (see chart on page 11).
Switch on the on/off
switch, the pilot light «power»
will then come on and the
machine will start.
The machine will automa-
tically complete the selected
time.
Depress the on/off switch
, open the door, and
unload the laundry.
If necessary, you may
interrupt dryer operation by
depressing the on/of switch.
This dryer has two drying
times of up to 120 and 80
minutes, giving a high or low
heat according to the fabric
type.
This can be extended when
the original programme is
completed, by resetting the
control knob for a further
period of drying.
It is better to select a time
which is too short and then
set the dial for a further
period if necessary.
Select the drying time
according to your experi-
ence.
The programme guide is
designed to help you.
Remember that during the
last 8 minutes of the opera-
tion the heat is cut off in
order to carry out a fabric
cooling phase, which pre-
vents any creasing or
crumpling of the fabrics.
