[. . . ] TUMBLE DRYER INSTRUCTION BOOKLET EDE 425 M 125 996 633 GB i YOUR NEW TUMBLE DRYER This tumble dryer will give your wash that soft, relaxed feel whatever the weather. Extremely high quality standards both during development and manufacturing guarantee a long service life for your appliance. Maximum economy in the operation of your dryer is achieved through very frugal electricity consumption and short drying times. Energy saving tips To save energy we recommend that you follow these hints: Try to load the maximum capacity of the machine as small loads are uneconomical. The higher the spin speed, the lower the electricity consumption and the shorter the drying times. [. . . ] 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 A). 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 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. 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. P0279 A P0055 Note that to avoid condensation problems, it is essential that the dryer be fitted with the flexible hose to carry its "exhaust" at least beyond the kitchen units; preferable outside the kitchen. In order to prevent the appliance from overheating, it is important that the steam exhaust is unobstructed. Therefore, in case of a permanent hose fitted to an exterior wall or ceiling, it must be ensured an exhaust capacity of at least 150 m3/h. If the dryer is fitted next to kitchen units, make sure that the vent hose is not squashed. If the hose is partially squashed, drying efficiency will be reduced, resulting in longer drying times and higher energy consumption. If the hose is completely squashed, the safety cut-outs with which the machine is fitted may operate. 7 Door reversal To make it easier to load or unload the laundry the door can be reversed. This operation must be carried out by qualified personnel. Operate as follows: - Remove the door by unscrewing the two screws (1) fastening the hinge to the cabinet (Fig. - Remove the safety catch (2) and the plug (3) by bending the two fastening tags (Fig. - Refit the safety catch (2) and plug (3) on the door by reversing their positions (Fig. - Remove the plastic plate (4) by unscrewing the two fastening screws (Fig. - Refit the plastic plate (4) on the opposite side (Fig. - Refit the door by screwing in the two screws (1) which fasten the door to the cabinet (Fig. B). 3 P0283 2 1 4 A 4 1 2 3 P0748 B Electrical connection This machine is designed to operate on a 220 V, single-phase, 60 Hz supply. Check that your domestic electrical installation can take the maximum load required (2. 2 kW), also taking into account any other appliances in use. Connect the machine to an earthed socket, in accordance with current wiring regulations. Important If the socket in your house is not earthed, you have to do a separate earth connection using the special green and yellow ground wire which you can find on the back of your appliance. This wire has to be connected to an efficient earth. [. . . ] This will be necessary particularly for multilayered items (e. g. collars, pockets, etc. ). Close pillowcases and covers with fasteners to prevent small laundry items getting tangled inside them. Close press studs, zips and hooks and tie belts and apron strings. Sort laundry according to type and degree of drying required. [. . . ]
