Electrical connections
Levelling the tumble dryer
Before plugging the appliance into the socket, check the following:
• Make sure your hands are dry.
EN
The tumble dryer should be installed level in order to
operate correctly.
• The socket must have an earth connection.
• The socket must be able to withstand the machine’s ma-
ximum power output as indicated on the rating plate (see
Description of the tumble dryer).
After installing the tumble
dryer in its permanent
position, make sure it is level;
check its side-to-side levelling
first, followed by front-to-
back.
• The power supply voltage must fall within the values indica-
ted on the data plate (see Description of the tumble dryer).
• The socket must be compatible with the dryer’s plug.
Should this not be the case, replace the plug or the socket.
! Do not use extension cords.
! The dryer must not be installed outdoors, even if the space is
sheltered. It can be very dangerous if exposed to rain or storms.
! Once installed, the dryer’s electrical wire and plug must be
within reach.
! The power cord must not be bent or squashed.
! The power cord is supplied fitted with a BS1363 plug and with
a 13 amp BS1362 fuse. If it is necessary to fit a replacement
fuse, it must be a 13 Amp ASTA approved to BS1362 type.
WARNING: The plug must not be used without a fuse cover. If a
replacement fuse holder/cover is required, it must be of the same
colour coding or wording as shown on the base of the plug.
Replacements are available from authorised dealers.
If the tumble dryer is not
perfectly level, use a wooden
block to support it while you
adjust the two front feet, up or
down as necessary.

How to carry out a
drying cycle
Starting a drying programme
EN
1. Plug the dryer into the power supply socket.
2. Select a suitable drying programme for the type of laundry (see Laundry).
3. Open the door, ensure that the filter is clean and securely placed.
4. Load the machine, making sure that no piece of laundry gets between the door and the door seal. Close the door.
5. Turn the “Drying time selector” knob until the indicator is pointing towards the most suitable drying time for the type of fabric in
that load. Use the table to check the relationship between fabric type and load capacity (see Drying settings), and make sure you
are familiar with the instructions provided for each type of fabric (see Laundry). Do not attempt to turn the knob anticlockwise.
6. If necessary, set the temperature using the HIGH HEAT button.
7. Press the START button to start the drying cycle.
Laundry can be checked while the drying programme runs and any garments already dry can be removed, while drying continues
for the remaining items. After closing the door, press the START button to resume machine operation.
8. The final COOL TUMBLE phase (i.e. the fabrics are cooled) activates during the last few minutes of the drying programme; always
allow this phase to terminate.
9. Open the door, remove the laundry then clean the filter and replace it.
10. Disconnect the dryer from the power supply.

Drying times are approximate and may vary depending on the following:
• Amount of water retained by items after the spin cycle: towels and delicate items retain a lot of water.
• Fabrics: items of the same fabric, but with different texture and thickness may have different drying times.
• Amount of laundry: single items and small loads will take a short time to dry.
• Drying: if items are to be ironed, they can be removed from the dryer while still slightly damp. Items that require complete drying
can be left longer.
• Temperature of the room: the lower the temperature of the room, the longer it will take for the dryer to dry clothing.
• Bulk: certain bulky items require special care during the drying process. We suggest removing these items and replacing them in
the dryer once they have been shaken out: repeat this procedure several times during the course of the drying cycle.
! Do not over-dry items.
All fabrics contain natural dampness which helps to keep them soft and fluffy.
Drying programmes and options
Refresh
A short programme suitable for refreshing fibres and garments through the emission of cool air. It lasts about 10 minutes.

Laundry
Sorting laundry
• Check the symbols on the care labels of the various gar-
ments to verify whether the garments can be safely tumble
dried.
Care labels
Always check the care labels, especially when placing
garments in the tumble dryer for the first time. Below are the
most commonly used symbols:
EN
• Sort laundry according to the type of fabric.
• Empty all pockets and check for loose buttons.
• Close zips and hooks and fasten belts and strings without
tightening them.
• Wring out garments to remove the maximum amount of
water possible.
May be tumble dried.
Do not tumble dry.
Tumble dry – high heat.
Tumble dry – low heat.
Items not suitable for tumble drying:
! Do not load the dryer when garments are dripping wet.
• Items containing rubber parts or similar materials, or
plastic film covering (pillows, cushions or PVC sports
jackets), any type of inflammable object or objects con-
taining inflammable substances (used towels containing
hairspray).
Maximum load sizes
Do not overload the drum.
The following values indicate the weight of dry garments:
Natural fibres: maximum 6 kg
Synthetic fibres: maximum 3 kg
• Glass fibres (certain types of draperies).
• Items which have been previously dry cleaned.
• Items marked with the ITLC symbol (“Special garments”)
, which may be washed using special household pro-
ducts. Follow instructions carefully.
• Large bulky items (duvets, sleeping bags, pillows,
cushions, etc.) that expand when dried and hamper air
circulation inside the tumble dryer.
! Do not overload the dryer as this may result is reduced
drying performance.

Warnings
and suggestions
washed with water.
• Do not dry garments that have been treated with chemical
products.
! This appliance has been designed and built according to
international safety standards. These warnings are given for
safety reasons and must be followed carefully.
EN
• Do not tumble dry items that have been spotted or soaked
with vegetable or cooking oils, this constitutes a fire hazard.
Oil-affected items can ignite spontaneously,especially when
exposed to heat sources such as a tumble dryer. The items
become warm, causing an oxidisation reaction with the oil,
Oxidisation creates heat. If the heat cannot escape, items
can become hot enough to catch fire. Piling, stacking or
storing oil-effected items can prevent heat from escaping
and so create a fire hazard.If it is unavoidable that fabrics
containing vegetable or cooking oil or those that have been
contaminated with hair care products be placed in a tumble
dryer they should first be washed with extra detergent - this
will reduce, but not eliminate the hazard. The cool tumble
phase should be used to reduce the temperature of the
items. They should not be removed from the dryer and piled
or stacked while hot.
• Do not tumble dry items that have previously been cleaned
in or washed in, soaked in or soiled with petrol/gasoline,
dry cleaning solvents or other flammable or explosive
substances. Highly flammable substances commonly used
in domestic environments including cooking oil, acetone,
denatured alcohol, kerosene, spot removers, turpentine,
waxes and wax removers. Ensure these items have been
washed in hot water with an extra amount of detergent
before being dried in the tumble dryer.

and maintenance operations.
Cleaning the filter after each cycle
The filter is a fundamental component of the dryer: its fun-
ction is to collect lint and fluff that form during drying.
Clean the filter once drying is completed, by rinsing it under
running water or cleaning it with a vacuum cleaner. Should
the filter become clogged, the flow of air inside the dryer will
be seriously hampered: drying times becomes longer and
more energy is consumed. Moreover, the dryer may become
damaged.
The filter is located behind of
the dryer seal (see Picture).
