[. . . ] If it is not, raise or lower the feet until it is P0046 The feet must never be removed. Do not restrict the floor clearance through deep-pile carpets, strips of wood or similar. This might cause heat build-up which would interfere with the operation of the appliance. Important When operating the tumble dryer, the room temperature must not exceed 35°C, as it may affect the performance of the appliance. 8 125987091. qxp 2007-03-23 14:47 Page 9 Installation Fitting the vent hose To simplify the installation, there is a choice of vent outlets: one at the back, the others in the left and right-hand side. 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. 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 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. 9 125987091. qxp 2007-03-23 14:47 Page 10 Installation 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. 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. In this case you should select a longer drying time. On the programmes for synthetics the temperature is automatically reduced. Therefore it is not necessary to depress this button. 2 Start Button Press this button to start the dryer after having selected the programme. Experience will soon enable you to estimate the drying time needed for your usual laundry loads. Do not start by selecting a long drying time. It is better to determine the required degree of dryness by gradually increasing the drying time. For a mixed load (cotton and resistant synthetics, for example) select the time for the most delicate fibres and increase it by 10 mins. 15 125987091. qxp 2007-03-23 14:47 Page 16 Use Operating sequence Before starting up for the first time it is advisable lo load a few moist cloths into the dryer and to let it run for about 20 minutes. This ensures that no dust and dirt is left in the drum. 1. Load the laundry Open the door by pulling the catch forwards. Load the items one at a time, shaking them out loosely and close the door. Please check the laundry does not get caught between the door and filter. P0305 2. [. . . ] · 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 20 minutes. This will be necessary particularly for multilayered items (e. g. collars, pockets, etc. ). 19 125987091. qxp 2007-03-23 14:47 Page 20 Maintenance and Cleaning Maintenance and Cleaning You must disconnect the appliance from the electricity supply, before you can carry out any cleaning or maintenance work.
