FUSE RATING: DRYING CAPACITY: CONSUMPTION: This appliance complies with the following E. E. C.

[. . . ] Air must be able to circulate freely all round the appliance. Do not obstruct the front ventilation grille or the air intake grilles at the back of the machine. 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. Do not restrict the floor clearance through deeppile carpets, strips of wood or similar. This might cause heat build-up which would interfere with the operation of the appliance. Important The hot air emitted by the tumble dryer can reach temperatures of up to 60°C. The appliance must therefore not be installed on floors which are not resistant to high temperatures. When operating the tumble dryer, the room temperature must not exceed 35°C, as it may affect the performance of the appliance. C Stacking kit A special stacking kit is available through your dealer, to enable the mounting of the dryer on top of your washing machine. P1044 Connecting a drain hose If there is a sink or drain near the appliance, the condensed water can be discharged directly through a hose that is available on the market. In order to connect the hose to the appliance proceed as follows: · Remove the clamp (A); · Pull out the plug (B); · Insert the drain hose (C); · Fasten the hose (C) to the appliance using the clamp (A). Electrical connection This machine is designed to operate on a 220-230 V, single-phase, 50 Hz supply. 20 min. (1) Never overfill the drum (do not load large quilts, for example). Drying times vary according to: · The type of laundry · The size of the load · The degree of spinning prior to drying. Fresh & Cool This position on programme selector dial can be used to freshen the laundry (e. g. to remove a persistent odour of moth-balls). 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. 10 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 20 minutes. There may be dust inside a brand new tumble dryer. After each use · Switch the appliance off by turning the programme selector dial to "0". · Clean the filter and empty the water reservoir (see page 13). 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. Modifying the programme To change a programme which is running, first cancel it by turning the programme selector dial to "0". Select the new programme and press the Start button . Drying 1. To remove any starch residues, wipe out the internal drum after drying with a moist cloth and then rub it dry. [. . . ] Do not use this appliance if the condenser has not been fitted. External cleaning Use only soap and water and then dry thoroughly. From time to time, apply a little wax furniture cream with a soft cloth. Important: do not use methylated spirit, diluents or similar products. Cleaning the filter The tumble dryer cannot operate efficiently with a clogged filter. The filter collects all the fluff which forms during drying and it is therefore essential to remove and clean this filter after each drying programme using a damp cloth. [. . . ]
