• Clean the tumble dryer drum with a moist
cloth.
• Start a 1 hour programme with moist
laundry.

sound level. This is due to the
compressor starting up. This is normal for
compressor powered appliances such as
refrigerators and freezers.
8.1 Unusual smell
The appliance is tightly packed.
After product unpacking you can feel an
unusual smell. This is normal for brand new
products.
Appliance is built of several different types of
material which all together can generate
unusual smell.
Over usage time, after few drying cycles
unusual smell gradually disappears.
8.2 Noises
Different noises may be heard at different
times during the drying cycle. They are

ENGLISH 15
10. HINTS AND TIPS
10.1 Preparing the laundry
Very often the clothes after washing
cycle are kneaded and tangled
altogether.
Drying kneaded and tangled clothes is
inefficient.
To assure proper air flow and even
drying it is recommended to shake and
load one by one the clothes to the tumble
dryer.
To assure proper drying process:
• Close the zips.
• Close the fasteners of duvet covers.
• Do not dry ties or ribbons loose (e.g.
apron ribbons). Tie them before you start
a programme.
• Remove all items from pockets.
• Turn items with the internal layer made of
cotton inside out. Cotton layer must be
faced outwards.
• Always set the programme suitable for the
type of laundry.
• Do not put light and dark colours together.
• Use suitable programme for cottons,
jersey and knitwear to reduce shrinkage.
• Do not exceed the maximum load stated
in the programmes chapter or shown on
the display.
• Dry only the laundry that is suitable for
tumble drying. Refer to the fabric label on
the items.
• Do not dry large and small items together.
Small items can be trapped inside the
large items and remain wet.
• Shake the large clothes, fabrics before
placing in the tumble dryer. It is to avoid
moist places inside the fabric after the
drying cycle.
Fabric label Description
Laundry is suitable for tumble drying.
Laundry is suitable for tumble drying at higher temperatures.
Laundry is suitable for tumble drying at low temperatures only.
Laundry is not suitable for tumble drying.
11. CARE AND CLEANING
11.1 Cleaning the filter
CAUTION!
Do not use the water to clean the filter.
Manually gather lint and throw it away
into the dustbin (avoid throwing the
plastic fibres into the water environment).
To achieve the best drying performance
clean the filter regularly. The clogged
filter causes the longer drying cycle and
as a consequence the energy
consumption increase.
Clean the filter by hand. Use a vacuum
cleaner if necessary.

Over usage time the surface of the sensor
may get dirty which deteriorates the drying
performance.
We recommend to clean the sensor at least 3
or 4 times a year or if you observe the drop of
drying performance.
To clean you can use harder side of dish-
washing sponge and bit of vinegar or dish
soap.
To clean the sensor:
1. Open the loading door.
2. Clean the surfaces of the humidity sensor
wiping off the metal surface several
times.
11.5 Cleaning the drum
