8.1 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.

• Room temperature is too low or too high.
Optimal room temperature is between
18°-25°C.
9. HINTS AND TIPS
9.1 Ecological hints
• Spin the laundry well before drying.
• Do not exceed the load sizes which are
specified in the programmes chapter.
• Clean the filter after each drying cycle.
• Do not use fabric softener to wash and
then dry. In the tumble dryer laundry
becomes soft automatically.
• The water from the water container can be
used to iron the clothes. You must first
filter the water to eliminate remaining
textile fibres (simple coffee filter is
suitable).
• Always keep the airflow slots at the bottom
of the appliance clear.
• Make sure there is good airflow where the
appliance is to be installed.
9.2 Adjustment of default dryness
level
To change the default dryness level:
1. Turn the appliance on.
2. Select 1 of the available programmes.
3. Touch and hold down the Time Dry and +
Anti Crease buttons at the same time.
One of the symbols appears on the display:
- Maximum dryness
- Extra dryness
- Standard dryness
4. Touch the Start/Pause button repeatedly
until you reach the desired dryness level.

5. To memorise the setting touch and hold
down the Time Dry and + Anti Crease
ENGLISH 19
buttons at the same time for
approximately 2 seconds.
9.3 Deactivating the tank indicator
The water container indicator is activated by
default. It illuminates at the end of the drying
cycle or during the cycle if the water reservoir
is full. If the draining kit is installed the water
container is drained automatically and the
indicator can be deactivated.
To deactivate the indicator:
1. Turn the appliance on.
2. Select 1 of the available programmes.
3. Touch and hold down Silent and Refresh
buttons at the same time.
One of 2 configurations is possible:
• the Tank indicator: is on if the
symbol appears - the water
container indicator is permanently
activated
• the Tank indicator: is off if the
symbol appears - the water
container indicator is permanently
deactivated
10. CARE AND CLEANING
10.1 Cleaning the filter
At the end of each cycle the
Filter
symbol
comes on the display and you must clean the
filter.
The filter collects the lint during the
drying cycle.
To achieve the best drying performances
clean the filter regularly , clogged filter
lead to longer cycles and energy
consumption increase.
Use your hand to clean the filter , and if
necessary , a vacuum cleaner .
CAUTION!
Avoid the use of water to clean the filter.
Instead throw away lint in the dustbin
( avoid dispersion of plastic fiber in water
ambient).
1. Open the door. Pull the filter up.
2. Push the hook to open the filter.
20 ENGLISH
3. Gather lint with hand from both internal
parts of the filter.
Throw the lint in the dustbin.
4. If necessary, clean the filter with a
vacuum cleaner. Close the filter.
5. If necessary, remove lint from the filter
socket and gasket. You can use a
vacuum cleaner. Place the filter back
inside the filter socket.
10.2 Emptying the water container
Empty the condensed water container after
each drying cycle.
If the condensed water container is full, the
programme stops automatically. The
Tank
symbol comes on the display and you must
empty the water container.
To empty the water container:
1. Pull the water container out keeping it in a
horizontal position.
2.
Pull the plastic connection out and drain
the water into a basin or equivalent
receptacle.
3. Push the plastic connection back in and
place the water container back into
position.
4. To continue the programme press the
Start/Pause button.
10.3 Cleaning the condenser
If the symbol
Condenser
flashes on the
display, inspect the condenser and its
compartment. If it is dirty, clean it. Do the
check not less than once a 6 months.
WARNING!
Do not touch the metal surface with bare
hands. Risk of injury. Wear protective
gloves. Clean carefully to avoid
damaging the metal surface.
To inspect:
1. Open the door. Pull the filter up.
ENGLISH 21
2. Open the condenser cover.
3. Turn the lever to unlock the condenser
lid.
4. Lower the condenser lid.
5. If necessary, remove the fluff from the
condenser and its compartment. You can
use a vacuum cleaner with the brush
attachment.
6. Close the condenser lid.
7. Turn the lever until it clicks into position.
8. Put the filter back.
10.4 Cleaning the humidity sensor
CAUTION!
Risk of humidity sensor damage. Do not
use abrasive materials or steel wool to
clean the sensor.
To assure best drying results the appliance is
equipped with metal humidity sensor. It is
placed on the inner side of the door area.
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 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.
10.5 Cleaning the drum
WARNING!
Disconnect the appliance before you
clean it.
Use a standard neutral soap detergent to
clean the inner surface of the drum and drum
lifters. Dry the cleaned surfaces with a soft
cloth.
CAUTION!
Do not use abrasive materials or steel
wool to clean the drum.
22 ENGLISH
10.6 Cleaning the control panel and
housing
Use a standard neutral soap detergent to
clean the control panel and housing.
Use a moist cloth to clean. Dry the cleaned
surfaces with a soft cloth.
CAUTION!
Do not use furniture cleaning agents or
cleaning agents which can cause
corrosion.
10.7 Cleaning the airflow slots
Use a vacuum cleaner to remove fluff from
the airflow slots.

24 ENGLISH
Problem Possible cause Remedy
The drying cycle is
too short.
The load size is small. Select a time program. The time value must
be related to the load. To dry one item or a
small amount of laundry we recommend
short drying times.
The laundry is too dry. Select an appropriate time program or a
higher dryness level (e.g.
extra dry
)
Drying cycle too
long
5)
The filter is clogged. Clean the filter.
The load is too large. Do not exceed the maximum load size.
The laundry was not spun sufficiently. Spin the laundry well in the washing ma‐
chine.
Too low or too high room temperature - this
is not the appliance malfunction.
Ensure a room temperature higher than
+5°C and lower than +35°C. Optimal room
temperature to achieve best drying results
is between 18°-25°C.
1)
Follow the program description — see the PROGRAMS chapter .
2)
See the

unsatisfactory drying results:
• The filter is clogged. Clogged filter makes
drying inefficient.
