DAILY USE

DAILY USE Doing this will keep your machine working at its BEST

• remember to empty your water tank after each drying cycle.
• remember to clean your filters after each drying cycle.

Refer to the Care & Maintenance section.

1. Plug the dryer into the power supply socket
2. Open the door and load garments; always refer to instructions on clothing labels and the max loads indicated in the programme section. Empty pockets. Make sure garments do not get caught between the door and/or the door filter. Do not load items that are dripping wet. Do not tumble dry large, very bulky items.
3. Close the door.
4. Press the "On/Off" button
5. Select the most suitable programme for the type of fabric in that load.
6. Select the options, if necessary.
7. Press the "Start/Pause" button to begin drying.
8. At the end of the drying cycle, a buzzer will beep. An indicator on the control panel signals the end of the cycle. Pull the load out immediately to prevent the formation of creases on laundry.
9. Turn the machine off by pressing the "On/Off" button, open the door and pull the clothing out. If the machine is not switched off manually, after about a quarter of an hour from the end of the cycle , the appliance turns off automatically to save energy. Note that some programme/option accords with "Crease Care" system. This means that for some hours, after the end of the drying cycle, the drum rotates at regular intervals to prevent the formation of creases. In case of power failure, it is necessary to press the "Start/Pause" button to restart the cycle.

OPENING THE DOOR DURING THE CYCLE

Laundry can be checked while the drying cycle runs and any garments already dry can be removed, while drying continues for the remaining items. After closing the door, press the "Start/Pause" button to resume machine operation. Keep the door closed until the cycle end to save time and energy

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

WARNING: unplug the dryer during the cleaning and maintenance procedures

• Emptying the water tank after each cycle (see fig. A). Pull the container out of the dryer and empty it into a sink or other suitable drain, then place it back properly. Do not use the dryer without having inserted the container back in place.
• Cleaning the primary door filter after each cycle (see fig. B). Pull the primary door filter out and clean it by removing the lint from the filter surface under running water or using a vacuum cleaner.
• Cleaning the secondary door filter when the relevant indicator turns on (see fig. C). Pull the secondary door filter out and clean it in all its parts by washing it under running water or using a vacuum cleaner.
• Clogged filters - clean both door filters (see fig. B, fig. C). For optimal performance, dry the filters before inserting them back in place. Do not use the dryer without having inserted all filters back in place properly first. The filters are essential parts for drying. They are intended to collect the lint formed during the drying process. In case of clogged filters, the air flow inside the dryer would be seriously affected: the drying time would be longer, the energy consumption would increase and the dryer could be damaged. If these procedures are not carried out properly, the dryer may not start.
• Autoclean : The maintenance of the bottom filter of this model is automatic. The dryer carries out cleaning when the sensors signal the need to do so. In this case, the machine goes on working even when the drying cycle is completed. An indicator on the control panel will signal the maintenance. Do not switch the machine off during this phase.
• Cleaning the tumble dryer

1. The external metal, plastic and rubber parts can be cleaned with a damp cloth.
2. 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 filters area, using a vacuum cleaner every so often.
3. Do not use solvents or abrasives.

TRANSPORT AND HANDLING

Never lift the dryer by holding on to its top side

1. Unplug the dryer

2. Remove the water from the water tank completely.

3. Make sure that door and water tank are properly closed.
