[. . . ] Read these instructions carefully: the following pages contain important information on installation and useful suggestions for operating the appliance. 1 Important information EN To ensure that the condenser dryer functions efficiently, the following routine maintenance procedures must be carried out: Fluff filter – CLEAN off any fluff build-up on the filter after each drying cycle. Step 1 Open the dryer door by pressing it as shown in the picture. 2 Failure to clean the filter after each drying cycle can undermine drying performance as the machine takes longer to dry and thus consumes more energy. Water container – empty the water container after each drying cycle. Step 1 Pull the water container towards you and remove it completely from the dryer. Step 2 Empty all the water in the water container. Step 2 Pull out the filter (using two fingers). Step 3 Replace the water container making sure that it is securely fixed. Step 3 Clean off any fluff build-up on the internal surface of the filter. Failure to empty the water container may cause the following: - The dryer stops heating (thus the load may still be damp at the end of the drying cycle). [. . . ] The “Delay start” indicator light flashes and the display visualises the time remaining to the start of the selected programme. • It is necessary to press the START/PAUSE button to resume the programme. The progress indicator lights signal the running phase and the START/PAUSE indicator light stops flashing and turns green. • During the post anti-crease phase, the programme ends. Pressing the START/PAUSE button reactivates a new programme from the beginning. • By turning the Programme selection knob, a new programme is selected and the START/PAUSE indicator light flashes green. This procedure can be used to select the COOL drying programme to cool garments if they are judged to be dry enough. Press the START/PAUSE button to start the new programme. Note: If you have a power cut, switch off the power or remove the plug. When power is restored, plug in the machine, press and hold the ON/OFF button until the dryer reactivates, then press Start/Pause button. 10 Laundry Sorting laundry • Check the symbols on the care labels of the various garments to verify whether the garments can be safely tumble dried. • Sort laundry according to the type of fabric. • Bulk: certain bulky items require special care during the drying process. We suggest removing these items and replacing them in the dryer once they have been shaken out: repeat this procedure several times during the course of the drying cycle. All fabrics contain natural dampness which helps to keep them soft and fluffy. The drying times provided refer to the automatic Cupboard dry programmes. The Timed drying settings are also indicated to enable you to select the most suitable timed option. The weight refers to dry items. Drying times Drying times are approximate and may vary depending on the following: • Amount of water retained by items after the spin cycle: towels and delicate items retain a lot of water. • Fabrics: items of the same fabric, but with different texture and thickness may have different drying times.
