[. . . ] 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. P1106 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. 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. P1056 A P1028 A P1027 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.

Load It is often difficult to estimate the weight of items to be dried. We therefore recommend that you adopt the following guidelines: · cotton, linen: drum full but not too tightly packed; · synthetics: drum no more than half full; · delicate fabrics: drum no more than one third full. 11 ENGLISH 125980961 -gb. qxp 2005-02-24 08:39 Page 12 Operating sequence Before using your tumble dryer for the first time, we recommend to place a few damp cloths inside the appliance and dry for 30 minutes. There may be dust inside a brand new tumble dryer. Turn the programme selector dial to "0"; light goes out. Release the ON/OFF button ON/OFF button ("AAN/UIT") (the mains-ON light goes out) and immediately remove the laundry. Drying 1. Open the door. After each use · Turn the programme selector dial to "0". · Switch the appliance off by releasing the ON/OFF button ("AAN/UIT"). · Clean the filters (see page 14). If the drying programme has to be stopped before it reaches the end, we recommend that you turn the programme selector dial to position (cooling) and wait until the end of this phase before removing the laundry. This will avoid a build-up of heat inside the appliance. 3. [. . . ] 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 30 minutes.
