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

[. . . ] 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. 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. 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). P1056 B P0046 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. 5 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. 7 ENGLISH 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. Electrical connection This machine is designed to operate on a 230-240 V, single-phase, 50 Hz supply. Drying times vary according to: · The type of laundry · The size of the load · The degree of spinning prior to drying · The degree of dryiness required. 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. 11 ENGLISH 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. Release the ON/OFF button (the mains-ON light goes out) and immediately remove the laundry. After each use · Turn the programme selector dial to "0". · Switch the appliance off by releasing the ON/OFF button . · 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 buildup of heat inside the appliance. Load the items one at a time, shaking them out loosely. Please check the laundry does not get caught between the door and filter. [. . . ] · If individual items are still damp after drying, set a brief post-drying time, but at least 30 minutes. This will be necessary particularly for multilayered items (e. g. collars, pockets, etc. ). · 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.
