You MUST read them carefully before installing or using the appliance. Installation · Any electrical work required to install this appliance should be carried out by a qualified electrician or competent person. [. . . ] Unpacking Slide out the polythene bag with the polystyrene stuffing before using the appliance. 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. 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. Should the appliance power supply cable need to be replaced, this must be carried out by our Service Centre. Important! Should the appliance be moved, it must be transported vertically. The power supply cable must be accessible after installing the machine. Stacking kit Positioning It is recommended that, for your convenience, the machine is positioned close to your washing machine. The tumble dryer must be installed in a clean place, where dirt does not build up. Air must be able to circulate freely all round the appliance. Do not obstruct the front ventilation grille or the air intake grilles at the back of the machine. To keep vibration and noise to a minimum when the dryer is in use, it should be placed on a firm, level surface. Once in its permanent operating position, check that the dryer is absolutely level with the aid of a spirit level. to remove a persistent odour of moth-balls). Size of load It is not necessary to weigh the laundry, if these instructions are followed: · Cottons, linen: full drum, but not overloaded. For a mixed load (cotton and synthetics, for example) select the drying time suitable for the most delicate fabrics and then increase it by approx 10 mins. 8 Before using your tumble dryer for the first time, we recommend to place a few damp cloths inside the appliance and dry for 20 minutes. There may be dust inside a brand new tumble dryer. After each use · Clean the filters (see page 11). · Empty the water reservoir (see page 12). If the drying programme has to be stopped before it reaches the end, we recommend that you turn the time selector dial to position (cooling) and wait until the end of this phase before removing the laundry. This will avoid a build-up of heat inside the appliance. Modifying the programme To change a programme which is running without opening the door, simply turn the time selector dial to the required time. Drying 1. Load the items one at a time, shaking them out loosely. 4. Please check the laundry does not get caught between the door and filter. [. . . ] The filters collect all the fluff which accumulates during drying and they must therefore be cleaned at the end of each programme, before removing the laundry, with a damp cloth. To pull out the condenser, first turn the two red stops downwards and then remove the condenser unit holding it at the handle. The filter in the inner door must be removed for cleaning. 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 un-noticed in the air. [. . . ]
