Installation  
Where to install the tumble dryer  
• Install the dryer far from gas  
ranges, stoves, radiators or  
Electrical connections  
Before plugging the appliance into the socket, check the following:  
• Make sure your hands are dry.  
EN  
• The socket must have an earth connection.  
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 abo-  
• The socket must be able to withstand the machines ma-  
ximum power output as indicated on the Rating plate (see  
Description of the tumble dryer).  
• The power supply voltage must fall within the values indica-  
ted on the Rating 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.  
ve it, and 15 mm between the  
sides of the machine and the  
walls or furniture units adjacent  
to it. This ensures adequate air  
circulation.  
! 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.  
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.  
Replacements are available from authorised dealers.  
• 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 du-  
ring 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 COOL room.  
Moulded plug  
! We do not recommend that the dryer is installed in a  
cupboard but the dryer must never be installed behind a  
lockable door, a sliding door or a door with a hinge on the  
opposite side to that 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.  
Remove existing hose from position shown in picture A and  
fit a suitable length of hose and connect as shown in picture  
B.  
Changing the plug  
The wires in the power cord are coloured in accordance with  
the following.  
Green and Yellow (Earth)

! If the plug being replaced is a non-rewirable type, then the  
cut-off plug must be disposed of safely. DO NOT leave it where  
it can be inserted into a socket and create a shock hazard.  
! The power cord should be checked periodically and replaced  
by a cord specially prepared for this dryer and fitted only by  
authorized technicians (see Service). New or longer power  
cords are supplied at an extra charge by authorized dealers.

Energy Saver Cycles  
The Energy Saver Cycles reduce energy consumption and so they not only help the environment, they also cut your energy bill!  
Energy Saver Cycles are available for several different types of fabric, there is one you can use with cottons, there is one specially  
for shirts and there is one for use with synthetic fabrics. They have all been designed to guarantee excellent drying performance for  
small loads.  
Energy Saver Cycles give the best drying results thanks to perfect temperature regulation and to accurate humidity detection which  
is optimized to obtain the best result on small load.  
! The duration of this program will depend on the size of the load and the spin speed used in your washer.  
Delicates  
• This is a programme for drying your Delicate Clothes i.e. Acrylics.  
• It can be used for load sizes up to 2.0 kg.  
• Loads dried using this programme are usually ready to use, but on some garments may be slightly damp. If this is found try  
removing the load and open them out or turn inside out then run the programme again for a short period.  
! The duration of this program will depend on the size of the load and the spin speed used in your washer.

Wool Programme  
EN  
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 sha-  
pe. This programme is not suited for acrylic items.  
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).  
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.  
! The duration of this program will depend on the size of the load and the spin speed used in your washer.  
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.  
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 program-  
me ends, remove the shoe rack and replace the filter into its holder.  
Sportwear 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. We suggest turning garments inside out before drying them.  
! The duration of this program will depend on the size of the load and the spin speed used in your washer.  
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 duration of this program will depend on the size of the load and the spin speed used in your washer.  
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 possi-  
ble, 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. It lasts about 20 minutes.  
! As this is not a drying programme, it is not to be used for garments that are still wet.

Options  
EN  
The options allow for customising the selected programme according to ones own needs.  
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.  
The buzzer will activate if the timed drying option is not available.  
The selected time is displayed 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 COOL drying cycle has ended, in order to avoid crea-  
ses 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 pha-  
se 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

Laundry  
Sorting laundry  
Check the symbols on the care labels of the various gar-  
ments to verify whether the garments can be safely tumble  
dried.  
Care labels  
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.  
Items not suitable for tumble drying:  
Maximum load sizes  
• Items containing rubber parts or similar materials, or  
plastic film covering (pillows, cushions or PVC sports  
jackets), any type of inflammable object or objects con-  
taining inflammable substances (used towels containing  
hairspray).  
Do not overload the drum.  
The following values indicate the weight of dry garments:  
Natural fibres: maximum 8 kg  
Synthetic fibres: maximum 3 kg  
! Do not overload the dryer as this may result is reduced  
drying performance.  
• Glass fibres (certain types of draperies).  
• Items which have been previously dry cleaned.  
• Items marked with the ITLC symbol (“Special garments”)  
Typical weights  
Note: 1 kg = 1000 g  
, which may be washed using special household pro-  
ducts. Follow instructions carefully.  
• Large bulky items (duvets, sleeping bags, pillows, cu-  
shions, large bedcovers, etc.) that expand when dried and

• Amount of laundry: single items and small loads may take  
longer to dry.  
Special garments  
EN  
Blankets and bedcovers: acrylic items (Acilian, Courtelle,  
Orion, Dralon) must be dried with great care at low heat.  
Avoid drying for long periods.  
• 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.  
Creased or pleated garments: read the drying instructions  
supplied by the manufacturer.  
• Heat setting.  
Temperature of the room: the lower the temperature of the  
Starched garments: do not dry together with non-starched  
items. Remove the maximum amount of starch solution pos-  
sible before placing these items in the dryer. Do not over-dry:  
starch turns powdery leaving garments limp – this defeats its  
purpose.  
room, the longer it will take for the dryer to dry clothing.  
• 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.  
Drying times  
! Do not over-dry items.  
All fabrics contain natural dampness which helps to keep  
them soft and fluffy.  
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.  
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.  
• Fabrics: items of the same fabric, but with different texture  
and thickness may have different drying times.

items can prevent heat from escaping and so create a fire  
hazard.If it is unavoidable that fabrics containing vegetable  
or cooking oil or those that have been contaminated with  
hair care products be placed in a tumble dryer they should  
first be washed with extra detergent - this will reduce, but  
not eliminate the hazard. The cool tumble phase should be  
used to reduce the temperature of the items. They should  
not be removed from the dryer and piled or stacked while  
hot.  
General safety  
• This tumble dryer is not intended for use by persons  
(including children) with reduced physical, sensory or  
mental capabilities , or lack of experience and knowledge,  
unless they have been given supervision or instruction  
concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible  
for there safety.  
• This tumble dryer has been designed for home, and not  
professional, use.  
• Do not touch the appliance while barefoot or with wet  
hands or feet.  
• Do not tumble dry items that have previously been cleaned  
in or washed in, soaked in or soiled with petrol/gasoline,  
dry cleaning solvents or other flammable or explosive  
substances. Highly flammable substances commonly used  
in domestic environments including cooking oil, acetone,  
denatured alcohol, kerosene, spot removers, turpentine,  
waxes and wax removers. Ensure these items have been  
washed in hot water with an extra amount of detergent  
before being dried in the tumble dryer.  
• Do not tumble dry items containing foam rubber (also  
known as latex foam), or similarly textured rubber like  
materials. Foam rubber materials can, when heated,  
produce fire by spontaneous combustion.  
• Fabric softener or similar products should not be used in  
a tumble dryer to eliminate the effects of static electricity  
unless the practice is specifically recommended by the  
manufacturer of the fabric softener product.  
• Do not tumble dry undergarments that contain metal  
reinforcements eg. bras with metal reinforcing wires.  
Damage to the tumble dryer can result if the metal  
reinforcements come loose during drying.  
• Unplug the machine by pulling on the plug, not the cord.  
• Children must not be in proximity of the dryer when in use.  
After using the dryer, turn it off and unplug it. Keep the door  
closed to make sure that children do not use it as a toy.  
• Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not  
play with the dryer.  
• The appliance must be installed correctly and have proper  
ventilation. The air intake at the front of the dryer should  
never be obstructed (see Installation).  
• Never use the dryer on carpeting where the pile height  
would prevent air from entering the dryer from the base.  
• Check to see if the dryer is empty before loading it.  
The back of the dryer could become very hot.  
Never touch it while in use.  
• Do not use the dryer unless the filter, watercontainer and  
condenser are securely in place (see Maintenance).  
• Do not overload the dryer (see Laundry for maximum loads).  
• Do not load items that are dripping wet.  
• Carefully check all instructions on clothing labels (see  
Laundry).  
• Do not tumble dry large, very bulky items.  
• Do not tumble dry acrylic fibres at high temperatures.  
• Complete each programme with its Cool Tumble Phase.  
• Do not tumble dry rubber, plastic articles such as shower  
caps or babies waterproof covers, polythene or paper.  
• Do not tumble dry rubber backed articles, clothes fitted  
with foam rubber pads, pillows, galoshes and rubber  
coated tennis shoes.  
• Do not turn off the dryer when there are still warm items  
inside.  
• Remove all objects from pockets, especially lighters.  
• Clean the filter after each use (see Maintenance).  
• Empty the water container after each use (see Maintenance).  
• Clean the condenser unit at regular intervals (see Maintenance).  
• Do not allow lint to collect around the dryer.  
! WARNING: Never stop the dryer before the end of the  
drying cycle unless all items are quickly removed and  
spread out so that the heat is dissipated.  
Save energy and respect the environment  
• Never climb on top of the dryer. It could result in damage.  
• Always follow electrical standards and requirements (see  
• Wring out all items to eliminate excess water before  
tumble drying (if you use a washing machine first, select  
a high spin cycle). Doing this will save time and energy  
during drying.  
Installation).  
• Always buy original spare parts and accessories (see Service).  
• Always dry full loads - you save energy: single items or  
small loads take longer to dry.  
To minimise the risk of fire in your tumble dryer, the  
following should be observed:  
• Clean the filter after each use to contain energy  
consumption costs (see Maintenance).  
Tumble dry items only if they have been washed with  
detergent and water, rinsed and been through the spin  
cycle. It is a fire hazard to dry items that HAVE NOT been  
washed with water.  
• Do not dry garments that have been treated with chemical  
products.

Care and maintenance  
Disconnecting the power supply  
Emptying the water container after  
EN  
each cycle  
! Disconnect the dryer when not in use or during cleaning  
and maintenance operations.  
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 star-  
ting a new drying cycle.  
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 run-  
ning 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.  
The filter is located in front of the dryer seal (see Picture).  
Removing the filter:  
Cleaning the condenser unit  
• Remove the condenser (see Picture below) unit regularly  
(monthly) and clean off any fluff deposits from the plates  
by rinsing it with COOL water running on the rear end of  
the condenser.  
Removing the condenser:  
1. Disconnect the dryer from the power supply and open the  
door.  
1. Pull the filters plastic han-  
dle upwards (see Picture).  
2. Clean the fluff off the filter  
and replace it correctly. En-  
sure that the filter is pushed  
fully home.  
2. Open the condenser cover (see Picture below), unlock the  
three catches by turning them 90° anti-clockwise, then  
pull on the grip to remove the condenser.  
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.  
! Do not use the dryer unless  
the filter has been replaced  
in its holder.  
Cleaning the tumble dryer  
• The external metal, plastic and rubber parts can be clea-  
ned with 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.  
Checking the drum after each cycle  
Rotate the drum manually to remove smaller items (handker-  
chiefs) that could have been left inside the dryer.  
! Do not use solvents or abrasives.  
Cleaning the drum  
! Have the dryer checked regularly by authorised technical  
personnel in order to ensure that the electrical and mechani-  
cal parts work safely (see Assistance).  
! 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 blown. 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.  
Drying times are too long.  
• 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.  
• 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” in-  
dicator 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 is just a reminder to  
empty the container (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 di-  
splay followed by one or two num-  
bers, 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 di-  
splay 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.  
The lights on the dryer control  
panel are off although the dryer is  
switched on.  
• The dryer has gone into standby mode to save power. This occurs if you have left  
the dryer on or have had a power cut. It occurs after 30 minutes:  
- if you leave the dryer without starting a programme;  
- after your drying programme has finished.  
Press the On/Off button and the lights will come on again.
