installed such that the air inlets and

outlets are not restricted (fig. 1).

1 – Supply cord

2 – Air inlets

3 – Air outlets

There should be a gap of at least 12 mm

(0.5 inches) between the sides rear and

base of the machine and the surrounding

walls, cabinets and floor.

To ensure adequate ventilation the space

between the bottom of the machine and the

floor must not be obstructed.

NEVER install the dryer up against

Before using the dryer for the first time

wipe the inside of the drum and door with

a damp cloth.

Make sure that the laundry you are going

to dry is suitable for drying in a tumble

dryer, as shown by the care symbols on

each item.

Clothes preparation

Check that all fastenings are closed and

that pockets are empty. Turn the articles

inside out. Place clothes loosely in the

drum to make sure that they don’t get

tangled.

Warning:

Do not overload the drum, large items

when wet can exceed the maximum

admissible clothes load (for example:

sleeping bags, duvets).

Maximum drying

weight

● Cottons Max. 6 kg

● Synthetics Max. 3 kg

Sort the load as

follows:

Operation

1. Open the door and load the drum with

laundry. Ensure that garments do not

hinder closure of the door.

2. Gently close the door pushing it slowly

until you hear the door ‘click’ shut.

3. Press the ‘ON/OFF’ button to switch

on the dryer. The indicator will light.

4. Turn the ‘PROGRAM’ dial to select

the required drying program:

e.g. if you are drying cotton laundry

and would like it suitable for ironing

please select the iron dry option.

The PRE-IRONING setting shown by the

symbol on the ‘PROGRAM’ dial

provides a conditioning and anti-crease

function. The dryer will heat the load for 9

minutes followed by a 3 minute cool down

period and is especially good for garments

which may have been left for some time

prior to ironing, in a linen basket for

example. Garments may also become

stiffened when dried outside on a washing

line or inside on radiators. The PRE-

IRONING process relaxes the creases in

the fabric making ironing quicker and

easier.

5. If drying delicate items on the ‘timed’

programs press the ‘DELICATES’

button to reduce the heat level. Press

again on completion, to select high

temperature.

If airing or drying very delicate items

select the airing option on the ‘drying

time’ dial ( ).

6. Press the ‘START’ button. The dryer

will start automatically and the

‘HEATING’ indicator will light.

Drying sensor

A sensor will detect when the load is

dry. The drying cycle will then go into

the cooldown period and the

‘COOLING’ indicator will light.

After 10 minutes of cooldown the drum

will stop rotating automatically.

Note:

(i) The sensor may not detect a small

load of small articles. For small loads

and separate items or pre-dried fabrics

with low moisture content, utilise the

timed programmes. Set the programme

between 30 and 75 minutes depending

upon the load size and dryness required

and select high or low heat depending

upon the fabric type. If this is not

carried out the dryer will only operate

for 10 minutes before going into

cooldown.

(ii) If the sensor does not operate, for

example when a load is too large or too

wet to tumble dry, the dryer will

automatically go into cooldown after

180 minutes.

The dryer can be set to start up to 9 hours

after the program has been set.

13

HIGH Heat setting

LOW Heat setting

40000357-English.qxd 23-07-03 10:01 Page 8

To set the time delay option press and

release the ‘START DELAY’ button until

the required delay (shown in hours)

appears on the display and then press the

‘START’ button. The display will flash.

As each hour passes the figure shown on

the display will count down. When it gets

to 0 the dryer will start.

The delay can be changed at any time

simply by pressing the button until the

new figure appears on the display.

If there is an interruption to the electricity

supply the time delay will be lost and so

will have to be re-set when the power is

restored.

7. To switch off the buzzer, which sounds

at the end of each cycle, press the

‘ALARM OFF’ button.

8. The load is dried by tumbling in

thermostatically controlled warm air.

Cool air is used for the last 10 minutes

to reduce creasing and cool the load

ready for handling. During this time

the ‘COOLING’ indicator is lit.

9. When the program is fully completed

the drum will stop rotating. The dial

remains at the position of the selected

program. The ‘COOLING’ indicator

will flash and the buzzer will sound.

10. Open the door and remove the load.

If the load is not removed from the

dryer at the end of the drying cycle, a

‘creaseguard’ function is activated.

Every 15 minutes the dryer will tumble

the load for 5 seconds and the buzzer

will sound.

This process will be repeated until the

‘creaseguard’ function is cancelled by

opening the door

11. Clean the filter and empty the water

container after every drying cycle to

ensure maximum dryer efficiency. (See

‘Filter’ and ‘Water Container’

sections.)

12. Clean the condenser after

approximately every 10 drying cycles

to ensure maximum dryer efficiency.

(See ‘Condenser’ section.)

main dans le sèche-linge. Plus le linge est sec,

plus le temps de séchage sera court, ce qui

économisera de l’énergie.

Essayez TOUJOURS de sécher le poids de linge

maximum, pour économiser du temps et de

l’électricité.

Ne dépassez JAMAIS le poids maximum pour ne

pas gaspiller du temps ou de l’électricité.

Vérifiez TOUJOURS que le filtre est propre avant

chaque cycle de séchage, pour assurer une

efficacité de séchage maximale.

Ne mettez JAMAIS d’articles dégoulinant d’eau

dans le sèche-linge, pour ne pas endommager la

machine et perdre du temps et de l’efficacité.
