Installation  
Where to install the tumble dryer  
Electrical connections  
EN  
• Install the dryer far from gas  
ranges, stoves, radiators or  
hobs, as flames may damage it.  
If the dryer is installed below a  
worktop, ensure there are 10  
mm between the upper panel of  
the dryer and any objects  
Before plugging the appliance into the socket, check the following:  
• Make sure your hands are dry.  
• The socket must have an earth connection.  
• The socket must be able to withstand the machines  
maximum power output as indicated on the data plate (see  
Description of the tumble dryer).  
• The power supply voltage must fall within the values indicated  
on the data plate (see Description of the tumble dryer).  
• The socket must be compatible with the dryers plug.  
Should this not be the case, replace the plug or the socket.  
! Do not use extension cords.  
! The dryer must not be installed outdoors, even if the space is  
sheltered. It can be very dangerous if exposed to rain or storms.  
! Once installed, the dryers electrical wire and plug must  
be within reach.  
above it, and 15 mm between  
the sides of the machine and  
the walls or furniture units  
adjacent to it. This ensures  
adequate air circulation.  
Ventilation  
! The power cord must not be bent or squashed.  
! The power cord is supplied fitted with a BS1363 plug  
and with a 13 amp BS1362 fuse. If it is necessary to fit a  
replacement fuse, it must be a 13 Amp ASTA approved  
to BS1362 type. WARNING: The plug must not be used  
without a fuse cover. If a replacement fuse holder/cover is  
required, it must be of the same colour coding or wording as  
shown on the base of the plug.  
• The room must be adequately ventilated while the dryer is  
running. Make sure that the dryer is installed in a room free  
of humidity and with adequate air circulation. The flow of air  
around the dryer is essential to allow water to condense  
during drying; the dryer will not function properly if it is  
placed in an enclosed space or inside a cabinet.  
! Some condensation may form if the dryer is used in a

small or cold room.  
Moulded plug  
! We do not recommend installing the dryer in a cupboard;  
moreover, never install the machine behind a lockable, sliding  
or hinged door located on the opposite side of the dryer  
door.  
Water drain  
If your dryer is installed next to a drain the water can be  
plumbed into this drain. This does away with the need to  
empty the water container. If the dryer is stacked onto or  
installed next to a washing machine it can share the same  
drain. The height of the drain must be less than 3' (1 m)  
from the bottom of the dryer.  
Changing the plug  
The wires in the power cord are coloured in accordance  
with the following.

Special/Sport/Partial Programmes  
Eco Time Programme  
This programme is ideal for safely drying small loads in a short time, thereby optimising energy consumption. Suitable for loads of  
up to 2 kg, it lasts about 1:00 (hrs:mins). The programme may last longer depending on the size and density of the load and on the  
spin speed used during the wash cycle  
We recommend checking whether garments are labelled with the symbol and to turn them inside out before drying them.  
Wool Programme  
This programme is specific for items that withstand tumble drying and are labelled with the symbol. It is suitable for loads of up  
to 1 kg (about 3 jerseys). We recommend turning the garments inside out before drying them. This programme lasts about 1:00  
(hrs:mins), although it may last longer depending on the size and density of the load and on the spin speed used during the wash  
cycle. Garments dried with this programme are usually ready to be worn, although the edges of heavier garments may be slightly  
damp. Leave them to dry naturally, as an additional drying process may damage them.  
Unlike other materials, the shrinking process in wool is irreversible, i.e. the garment does not resume its original dimension and  
shape.  
This programme is not suited for acrylic items.  
Silk Programme  
This programme is specifically intended for drying delicate silk garments. It can be used for loads of up to 0.5 kg.  
This programme lasts about 1:50 (hrs:mins), although it may last longer depending on the size and density of the load and on the  
spin speed used during the wash cycle. Garments dried with this programme are usually ready to be worn, although the edges of  
heavier garments may be slightly damp. If this occurs, remove the load, open the garments and reactivate the programme for a  
short while.  
Only for garments bearing the tumble dry symbol on the care label.  
8
 
Jeans Programme  
This programme is suited to washing cotton denim jeans. Turn the front pockets inside out before drying the jeans. It is suitable for  
loads of up to 3 kg (about 4 pairs).  
EN  
This programme lasts about 1:25 (hrs:mins), although it may last longer depending on the size and of the load and on the spin  
speed used in the wash cycle. Garments dried using this programme are usually ready to be worn, though edges and seams may  
be slightly damp. In this occurs, turn the jeans inside out and reactivate the programme for a short while.  
Use this cycle for 100% cotton garments only; do not mix dark and light colours and avoid using this programme for garments  
with embroidery and accessories (elastic strings around the waist area, brooches, etc.); turn pockets inside out.  
Outwear Programme  
This programme is specific for drying water-repellent fabrics and sports jackets (e.g. Gore-Tex, polyester, nylon). Drying the  
garment after a wash cycle has a beneficial effect as it reactivates the garments water-repellent treatment.  
It can be used for loads of up to 2 kg. The programme lasts about 2:00 (hrs:mins), although it may last longer depending on the  
size and density of the load and on the spin speed used during the wash cycle.  
Sport Intensive Programme  
This programme is studied for safely drying garments such as tracksuits and shorts bearing the symbol. It is ideal for clothes  
which do not need to be dried fully. Suitable for loads of up to 4 kg, it lasts about 1:20 (hrs:mins), although it may last longer  
depending on the size and density of the load and of the spin speed used during the wash cycle. We suggest turning garments  
inside out before drying them.  
Sport Light Programme  
This programme is studied for safely drying garments such as tracksuits and shorts bearing the symbol. It is ideal for those  
garments that do not need to be dried fully or which have to be ironed. Suitable for loads of up to 4 kg, it lasts about 1:10  
(hrs:mins), although it may last longer depending on the size and density of the load and of the spin speed used during the washing  
cycle. We suggest turning garments inside out before drying them.  
Special Shoes Programme  
This programme is specific for drying sports shoes of sizes 37-46. The shoes must have been previously washed and spun at a  
minimum spin speed of 400 revolutions.  
A specific shoe rack is provided and must be used, otherwise the dryer will be damaged if shoes are dried in the drum. Remove the  
filter from its holder on the front part of the dryer and position the shoe rack.  
Place shoelaces inside the shoes then load with the tips of the shoes facing downwards and the soles frontwards.  
Drying times vary according to the shape and type of the shoe. If the shoes are not completely dry at the end of the programme,  
restart the programme.  
Do not dry shoes that have gel or flashing lights inside them. Only dry shoes made of synthetic material or rope. Once the  
programme ends, remove the shoe rack and replace the filter into its holder.  
Easy Iron  
A short 10-minute programme that relaxes the garments fibres in order to facilitate ironing and folding.  
This programme is particularly recommended for cotton or mixed cotton fabrics.  
For optimal results, do not overload the drum (the following values refer to the weight of dry garments):  
Fabric: maximum load  
Cotton and mixed cotton: 2.5 kg  
Synthetic garments: 2 kg  
Jeans: 2 kg  
Empty the dryer as soon as the programme ends; hang, fold or iron garments then place them in the wardrobe. If this is not  
possible, repeat the programme.  
As this is not a drying programme, it is not to be used for garments that are still wet.  
The effect produced by the programme varies according to the characteristics of the each fabric: fabrics such as acrylic fibres or  
Tencel® do not give the same results as traditional fibres (e.g. cotton).  
Refresh  
A short programme suitable for refreshing fibres and garments through the emission of cool air. It lasts about 0:20 (hrs:mins).  
As this is not a drying programme, it is not to be used for garments that are still wet.

Options  
The options allow for customising the selected programme according to ones own needs.  
EN  
Timed drying  
After selecting a programme, press the “Timed drying” button to enter a drying time. Every time this button is pressed, the duration of  
the selected drying cycle appears on the display. When pressed the first time, the highest allowed value for the selected cycle appears  
on the display. When pressed each of the following times, the set time is reduced until OFF appears.  
Three buzzer signals are emitted if the timed drying option is not available.  
The selected time remains visualised after the start of the programme and cannot be modified after pressing the START/PAUSE  
button.  
Delay Start  
The start of some programmes (see Programmes and options) may be delayed up to 24 hours. Press the button repeatedly to  
enter the desired delay time. Before setting a delayed start, make sure that the water container is empty and that the filter is clean.  
Pre Anti-Crease  
When this option is selected in addition to the “Delay start” option, the drum rotates garments at intervals during the delay period  
to avoid creases forming.  
Post Anti-Crease  
When this option is selected, the drum rotates garments at intervals after the cold drying cycle has ended, in order to avoid  
creases forming on garments if they cannot be immediately removed at the end of the programme. During this phase, the indicator  
light is turned on.  
High Heat  
When a drying time is selected, pressing this button sets a high heat drying and the indicator light above the button lights up. The  
timed programmes are pre-set to low heat.  
Alarm  
A buzzer sounds at the end of the drying cycle to signal that the programme has ended and the garments are ready to be  
removed.  
Not all options are available on all programmes (see Programmes and options). If the button of an unavailable option is pressed,  
the buzzer emits three signals. If an option is available, a single buzzer signal sounds and the option indicator light next to the  
button lights up to confirm the selected option.  
Opening the door  
If the door is opened (or the START/PAUSE button is pressed) while a programme is running, the dryer stops and the following  
may occur:  
• The START/PAUSE button flashes orange.  
• When a delayed start is running, the delay countdown continues. It is necessary to press the START/PAUSE button to resume  
the “Delay start” programme. 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 Cold drying programme to cool garments if they are judged to be dry enough.  
Press the START/PAUSE button to start the new programme.  
Note: In the event of a power cut, turn the power switch off and remove the plug; when the electricity supply returns, press the  
START/PAUSE button to resume the programme.

Laundry  
Sorting laundry  
Care labels  
Check the symbols on the care labels of the various  
garments to verify whether the garments can be safely  
tumble dried.  
Always check the care labels, especially when placing  
garments in the tumble dryer for the first time. Below are the  
most commonly used symbols:  
EN  
• Sort laundry according to the type of fabric.  
• Empty all pockets and check for loose buttons.  
• Close zips and hooks and fasten belts and strings without  
tightening them.  
May be tumble dried.  
Do not tumble dry.  
• Wring out garments to remove the maximum amount of  
water possible.  
Tumble dry – high heat.  
Tumble dry – low heat.  
! Do not load the dryer when garments are dripping wet.  
Maximum load sizes  
Do not overload the drum.  
Items not suitable for tumble drying:  
The following values indicate the weight of dry garments:  
Natural fibres: maximum 7.5 kg  
Synthetic fibres: maximum 3 kg  
• Items containing rubber parts or similar materials, or  
plastic film covering (pillows, cushions or PVC sports  
jackets), any type of inflammable object or objects  
containing inflammable substances (used towels  
containing hairspray).  
! Do not overload the dryer as this may result is reduced  
drying performance.  
Typical weights  
• Glass fibres (certain types of draperies).  
Note: 1 kg = 1000 g  
• Items which have been previously dry cleaned.  
• Items marked with the ITLC symbol (“Special garments”)  
, which may be washed using special household  
products. Follow instructions carefully.

Special garments  
• Heat setting.  
EN  
Blankets and bedcovers: acrylic items (Acilian, Courtelle,  
Orion, Dralon) must be dried with great care at low heat.  
Avoid drying for long periods.  
Temperature of the room: the lower the temperature of  
the room, the longer it will take for the dryer to dry  
clothing.  
Creased or pleated garments: read the drying instructions  
supplied by the manufacturer.  
• 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.  
Starched garments: do not dry together with non-  
starched items. Remove the maximum amount of starch  
solution possible before placing these items in the dryer. Do  
not over-dry: starch turns powdery leaving garments limp –  
this defeats its purpose.  
! Do not over-dry items.  
All fabrics contain natural dampness which helps to keep  
them soft and fluffy.  
Drying times  
The drying times provided refer to the automatic Cupboard  
dry programmes.  
Drying times are approximate and may vary depending on  
the following:  
The Timed drying settings are also indicated to enable you  
to select the most suitable timed option.  
The weight refers to dry items.  
• 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.  
• Amount of laundry: single items and small loads may take  
longer to dry.  
• Drying: if items are to be ironed, they can be removed  
from the dryer while still slightly damp. Items that require  
complete drying can be left longer.

warm are inside it.  
• Clean the filter after each use (see Maintenance).  
• Empty the water container and put it back in place after  
each use (see Maintenance).  
General safety  
• Clean the condenser unit regularly (see Maintenance).  
• Do not allow lint to build up around the tumble dryer.  
• Avoid climbing on the top of the dryer as this may  
damage the appliance.  
• This tumble dryer must not be used by persons (including  
children) with physical, sensory or mental impairments or

unless they are supervised or have been adequately  
instructed on its use by the person responsible for their  
safety.  
• Always comply with electrical regulations and  
requirements (see Installation).  
• Always purchase original accessories and spare parts  
(see Assistance).  
• This tumble dryer is designed for domestic and non-  
professional use.  
! WARNING: Never stop the dryer before the end of the

Information on recycling and  
disposal  
As part of our continual commitment towards environmental  
protection, we reserve the right to use recycled quality  
components to reduce costs for our customers and to  
minimise materials wastage.  
• Children must be supervised to ensure that they do not  
play with the appliance.  
• The appliance must be correctly installed and receive  
adequate ventilation. The air intake on the front part of  
the dryer and the air vents on the rear must never be  
obstructed (see Installation).  
• Disposing of the packaging materials: follow local  
regulations to allow for recycling of packaging materials.  
• In order to minimise the risk of injury to children, remove  
the door and plug, then cut the power supply cord flush  
with the appliance. Dispose of these parts separately to  
prevent the appliance from being connected to a power  
supply socket.  
• Never use the dryer on carpeting with high pile as this  
may prevent air from entering the dryer from the base.  
• Check whether the dryer is empty before loading it.  
The rear part of the dryer may become very hot:  
do not touch it while the appliance is in function.  
• Do not use the dryer unless the filter, water container and  
condenser are properly positioned (see Maintenance).  
• Do not use liquid fabric softener in the dryer; add it to the  
final rinse of the wash cycle.  
Disposal of old household appliances  
European Directive 2002/96/EC concerning Waste  
Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) states  
that household appliances should not be disposed of  
using the normal solid urban waste cycle. Exhausted  
appliances should be collected separately in order to  
optimise the cost of re-using and recycling materials  
comprising the machine, while preventing potential damage  
to public health and the environment. The crossed-out  
wheeled bin symbol appears on all products to remind  
owners of the obligations regarding separate waste  
collection.  
• Do not overload the dryer (see Laundry for the maximum  
load sizes).  
• Do not add items that are dripping wet.  
Tumble dry items only if they have been washed with  
water and detergent, and have been rinsed and put  
through a spin cycle. Drying items that have NOT been  
washed with water may cause the risk of fire.  
• Always read the instructions on the care label carefully  
(see Laundry).  
Owners should contact their local authorities or appliance  
dealers for further information concerning the correct  
disposal of household appliances.  
• Do not tumble dry items that have been treated with  
chemical products.  
• Never tumble dry items that are contaminated with  
inflammable substances (cooking oil, acetone, alcohol,  
petrol, kerosene, stain removers, turpentine, waxes, wax  
removers and hairspray), unless they have been washed  
in hot water with an extra amount of detergent.  
• Do not tumble dry rubber, rubber-backed articles and  
garments, cushions with foam rubber padding, latex  
foam, rubber, plastic, shower caps, water-resistant  
fabrics, nappy pants or liners, polyethylene and paper.  
• Remove all objects from pockets, particularly lighters  
(risk of explosion).  
Saving energy and respecting the  
environment  
• Wring out items before tumble drying them to remove  
the maximum amount of water possible (if they are  
previously washed in a washing machine, select a spin  
cycle). This ensures that energy is saved during tumble  
drying.  
• Always use the tumble dryer at full load to save energy:  
single items and small loads may take longer to dry.  
• Clean the filter at the end of each cycle to reduce energy  
consumption costs (see Maintenance).  
• Do not tumble dry large, excessively bulky items.  
• Do not tumble dry acrylic fibres at high temperatures.

Care and maintenance  
Disconnecting the power supply  
Emptying the water container after  
each cycle  
EN  
! Disconnect the dryer when not in use or during cleaning  
Remove the water container and empty it into a sink or  
other suitable drain outlet, then replace it correctly.  
Always check the water container and empty it before  
starting a new drying cycle.  
and maintenance operations.  
Cleaning the filter after each cycle  
The filter is a fundamental component of the dryer: its  
function is to collect lint and fluff that form during drying.  
Clean the filter once drying is completed, by rinsing it under  
running water or cleaning it with a vacuum cleaner. Should the  
filter become clogged, the flow of air inside the dryer will be  
seriously hampered: drying times becomes longer and more  
energy is consumed. Moreover, the dryer may become  
damaged.  
Cleaning the condenser unit  
• Remove the condenser unit regularly (monthly) and clean  
off any fluff deposits from the plates by rinsing it with cold  
water running on the rear end of the condenser.  
Removing the condenser:  
1. Disconnect the dryer from the power supply and open the  
door.  
The filter is located in front of  
the dryer seal (see Picture).  
2. Open the condenser cover (see Picture), unlock the three  
catches by turning them 90° anti-clockwise, then pull on  
the grip to remove the condenser.  
Removing the filter:  
1. Pull the filters plastic  
3. Clean the surface of the seals and replace the unit with the  
arrows pointing upwards, while making sure that the  
catches are securely fixed.  
handle upwards (see  
Picture).  
2. Clean the fluff off the filter  
and replace it correctly.  
Cleaning the tumble dryer  
• The external metal and plastic parts and the rubber parts  
can be cleaned with the aid of a damp cloth.  
• Clean the front air intake grille regularly (every 6 months)  
with a vacuum cleaner to remove any lint, fluff or dust  
deposits. Furthermore, remove any lint deposits from the  
front part of the condenser and from the filter area, using a  
vacuum cleaner every so often.  
Ensure that the filter is  
placed flush with the dryer  
seal.  
! Do not use the dryer unless the filter has been replaced in  
its holder.  
Checking the drum after each cycle  
Rotate the drum manually to remove smaller items  
(handkerchiefs) that could have been left inside the dryer.  
! Do not use solvents or abrasives.  
! The dryer uses ball bearing components that do not  
require lubrication.  
!Have the dryer checked regularly by authorised technical  
personnel in order to ensure that the electrical and  
mechanical parts work safely (see Assistance).  
Cleaning the drum  
! Avoid using abrasives, steel wool or stainless steel  
cleaning agents to clean the drum.  
A coloured film may appear on the stainless steel drum  
surface: it may be caused by a combination of water and/or  
cleaning agents such as wash-softeners. This coloured film  
does not affect the dryers performance.

Troubleshooting  
If you feel that the dryer is not working properly, consult the following troubleshooting suggestions before contacting the Technical  
Assistance Centre (see Assistance).  
EN  
Problem:  
Possible causes / Solutions:  
The dryer does not start.  
• The plug has not been inserted far enough into the socket to make contact.  
• There has been a power cut.  
• The fuse has burned out. Try connecting another appliance to the same socket.  
• If an extension cord is used, try connecting the dryer plug directly into the socket.  
• The door has not been closed properly.  
• The programme has not been set correctly (see How to carry out a drying cycle).  
• The START/PAUSE button has not been pressed (see How to carry out a drying cycle).  
The drying cycle does not start.  
• A delayed start time has been set (see Programmes and options).  
• The START/PAUSE button has been pressed; a short delay follows before the  
dryer starts running. Wait for the drying cycle to start; do not press the START/  
PAUSE button otherwise the dryer switches to the pause mode and the drying  
cycle will not start.  
Drying times are too long.  
• The filter has not been cleaned (see Maintenance).  
• The water container must be emptied? The “Empty water container” indicator light  
flashes and the message appears “H2O” (see Maintenance).  
• The condenser needs to be cleaned (see Maintenance).  
• The heat setting is not suited to the type of fabric to be dried (see Programmes and  
options).  
• An incorrect drying time was selected for the type of load (see Laundry).  
• The items are too wet (see Laundry).  
• The air intake grille are clogged up (see “Installation” and “Care and Maintenance”).  
• The dryer is overloaded (see Laundry).  
• The water container was probably not emptied before starting the programme. Do  
not wait for the signal for emptying the water container, but always check and  
empty it before starting a new drying programme (see Description of the tumble  
dryer).  
The “Empty water container”  
indicator light flashes, but the  
dryer has been running for a short  
time.  
The “Empty water container”  
indicator light is on but the water  
container is not full.  
• It is normal: the “Empty water container” indicator light flashes when the water  
container is full. If the indicator light is on but is not flashing, it only signals that the  
water container must be emptied (see Description of the tumble dryer).  
The programme is finished but  
the items are damper than  
expected.  
! For safety reasons, the dryer programmes last a maximum of 4 hours. If an  
automatic programme has not detected the final dampness level required in this  
interval, the dryer completes the programme and stops. Check the above points  
and repeat the programme; if the items are still damp, contact the Technical  
Assistance Centre (see Assistance).  
The code “F” appears on the  
display followed by one or two  
numbers, the options indicator  
lights and the pause indicator  
light flash.  
• If the display visualises F10 or F15, switch the appliance off and unplug it, then clean  
the filter and the condenser (see Maintenance). Reinsert the plug, switch the  
appliance on and start another programme. If the display still visualises F10 or F15,  
contact the Technical Assistance Centre (see Assistance). If the display still  
visualises other numbers, mark the code and contact the Technical Assistance  
Centre (see Assistance).  
“dOn” briefly appears on the  
display every 6 seconds.  
• The appliance is in “Demo” mode. Press the ON/OFF and START/PAUSE buttons  
and keep them pressed for 3 seconds. The display visualises “dOn” for 3  
seconds, then the dryer starts functioning normally.  
The “Remaining time” indicator  
changes during the drying cycle.  
• The remaining time is constantly monitored during the drying cycle and is updated  
to show the best forecast. It is normal for the displayed time to increase during the  
cycle.  
The dryer is noisy during the first  
few minutes of operation.  
• This is normal, especially if the dryer has not been used for a long time. If the noise  
persists during the entire cycle, contact the Technical Assistance Centre.
