[. . . ] It should have its own ventilation system which should not be joined with any other ventilation system connected to any other appliance. n n It is dangerous to modify or try to modify the specifications of this appliance in any way. This appliance is designed to be used by adults. Children should not be allowed to touch the controls or play with the product. Pets and small children may climb into tumble dryers. [. . . ] 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. P0046 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 71 ENGLISH 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). 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. P1056 B 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. Additional drying If at the end of the programme the laundry is still too damp, set the dial for a further period of drying (remembering to take into account the cooling period). 2 Low Temperature Button Press this button to reduce the temperature when drying particularly delicate cotton or linen items. 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. 3 Cool Tumbling Button By depressing this button the heat is cut off. This is particularly useful to freshen the laundry (e. g. to remove a persistent odour of moth-balls). 74 Drying Times Cotton and Linen Selector dial: up to 120 minutes Degree of drying required Degree of spin given rpm 800-900 Store dry 1000-1200 5 2. 5 5 2. 5 5 2. 5 70-90 35-50 85-105 60-75 80-100 55-70 Quantity kg 5 2. 5 Drying times mins 75-95 40-55 800-900 Iron dry 1000-1200 Synthetics Selector dial: up to 80 minutes Degree of drying required Degree of spin given rpm 650 Quantity kg 2. 5 Drying times mins 50-60 Store dry 2 . 5 Iron dry 650 1 Never overfill the drum (do not load large quilts, for example). 40-50 25-30 The laundry must be suitably spin dried in your washing machine before being placed in the tumble dryer (500rpm minimum). Drying times vary according to: - The type of laundry - The size of the load - The degree of spinning prior to drying Drying times are given as a guide only. 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. [. . . ] The filter collects all the «fluff» which accumulates during drying and it must therefore be cleaned at the end of each programme with a damp cloth. Do not be alarmed by the amount of fluff. It is not due to excessive wear caused by the dryer. All fabric loses fluff when drying but it goes unnoticed in the air. [. . . ]
