We recommend that you keep this instruction booklet for future reference and pass it on to any future owners. Transport damages After unpacking the machine please check it is not damaged. If in doubt, do not start it but contact your local Service Centre. The symbols you will see on some paragraphs of this booklet have the following meaning: The warning triangle emphasize information that is particularly important for your safety or correct functioning of the appliance. The information marked with this symbol provides additional instructions and practical tips on the use of the appliance. [. . . ] The unused vents should now be sealed with the special snap covers provided. 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). 7 ENGLISH Electrical connection This machine is designed to operate on a 220-230 V, single-phase, 50 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. P1056 B Connect the machine to an earthed socket, in accordance with current wiring regulations. The manufacturer declines any responsibility for damage or injury through failure to comply with the above safety precaution. 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. 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. Stacking kit A special stacking kit is available through your dealer, to enable the mounting of the dryer on top of your washing machine. P1107 Door reversal 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. To make it easier to load or unload the laundry the door can be reversed. If only light flashes, this means that the anticreasing phase has finished. 8 Programme/Time selector dial Allows you to select electronically controlled or time controlled drying. Turn the dial to the required programme or time. Electronically controlled drying (automatic) The appliance runs these programmes with the help of probes which detect the degree of dampness of the laundry. Simply select the programme according to the type of laundry and degree of drying required. Time controlled drying Can be used to finish off drying if necessary. Select the 60 minute programme for cottons ("I") or the 30 minute programme for synthetics ("L"). To cancel a programme which is running, turn the programme selector dial to "0". At the end of drying, turn the selector dial to "0" before removing the laundry. 10 Programme chart Automatic drying (electronic programmes) Type of laundry Cotton Degree of drying required extra dry store dry slightly damp iron dry machine iron dry Synthetics Max-load (1) kg 5 5 5 5 5 Programme A B (*) C D (*) E extra dry store dry slightly damp 2. 5 2. 5 2. 5 F G (*) H (*) According to CEI 1121 Standards.

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. [. . . ] 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. Close press studs, zips and hooks and tie belts and apron strings. [. . . ]
