7 BEFORE TUMBLE DRYING  
Before you start tumble drying, here is some  
advice that can be useful.  
Material which should not be tumble-  
dried  
This symbol indicates that the material will not  
withstand tumble-drying.  
SPIN-DRIED?  
Items that are to be tumble dried should first  
be spin-dried, preferably at 800 revs per minute  
or more. Better spin drying saves both energy  
and drying time.  
Certain materials will melt or become dan-  
gerously flammable if heated, while others will  
loose their shape or shrink.  
Do not tumble-dry...  
RECOMMENDED WASHING MARKING  
• Materials that are marked “Do not dry close  
to heat”.  
Material suitable for tumble drying  
The symbol above indicates that the material  
can be tumble-dried. Cotton fabrics, towelling  
and synthetic fibres are best suited to tumble  
drying. Clothes and fabrics become softer and  
fluffier when tumble-dried than when dried on  
a line.  
• Items that have been dry-cleaned at home.  
• Foam plastic.  
• Glass-fibre materials  
• Woollen items, because of the risk of felting.  
SORTING FABRICS  
NOTE  
Best results are obtained if all articles are of the  
same material.  
Wear and tear of fabrics in a tumble dryer is  
minimal. The lint caught in the lint filter con-  
sists of dust and fibre residue that has been for-  
med when wearing the garments.  
Close zip-fasteners, button up garments, tie  
belts, and sort the fabrics and adapt the load  
and the temperature as shown in the table be-  
low.

PROGRAMMES  
When using a timed dry programme with  
mixed washing it may happen that some of the  
items will not be sufficiently dried. Such items  
can suitably by dried by running the timed pro-  
gramme for a further 10 minutes or so.  
Timed dry programmes automatically opera-  
tes at temperature Low, but you can change it  
yourself to Normal.  
Your choice of programme will depend on what  
you wish to do with the fabrics after tumble  
drying. The available programmes are Extra dry,  
Dry, Normal dry, Iron dry, Timed dry program-  
me and Air fluff.  
Extra dry  
This programme is designed for washing that is  
extremely difficult to dry, eg, jeans with very  
thick seams.  
NOTE  
When using a timed programme it is possible to  
over-dry fabrics if you set too long a time. This  
can cause fabrics to shrink or crease and feel  
rough. Synthetic materials can also become char-  
ged with static electricity. Set a shorter time if  
you tumble dry at temperature Normal.  
NOTE  
Knitted fabrics in particular are liable to shrink.  
Use the Dry, Normal dry or Iron dry program-  
me for these materials. Always stretch garments  
out directly after drying.  
Air fluff  
Dry, Normal dry  
Use the air fluff programme just to shake dust  
out of garments, air them or soften them up.  
These programmes turn off the heat when the  
washing is dry, but not bone-dry.  
The Dry programme turns off the heat a litt-  
le later than Normal dry. Choose what you pre-  
fer by trial and error. Use these programmes  
when you want dry fabrics.  
To select Timed dry programme or Air fluff pro-  
gramme, see Chapter 10, Making own drying  
programmes.  
OPTIONS  
Iron dry  
To choose these options, see Chapter 10, Ma-  
king own drying programmes.  
This programme turns off the heat when the  
washing is just damp enough for ironing or mang-  
ling.  
Cooling  
You can choose between Normal cooling and  
Timed dry  
Quick cooling  
. Normal cooling lasts 20  
The programme length that you should choose  
depends on what you wish to do with the fa-  
brics after tumble drying. Dry different times

minutes and Quick cooling lasts 5 minutes.  
 
9
Buzzer  
If the actual drying time is less than that calcu-  
lated, the time display may jump ahead, e.g.  
from 50 to 20 minutes, at the end of the pro-  
gram.  
The machine offers you the possibility of hea-  
ring when the cooling period ends. Set the op-  
tion Buzzer on  
and it will sound for three  
seconds when the programme is completed.  
If the actual drying time is longer than that  
calculated, the countdown will stop at the end  
of the progam until the load is dry.  
Anti-crease  
You can select the anti-crease option  
to

proximately (within four minutes of the start of  
the drying programme) and is shown on the

prevent the fabrics from lying still and beco-  
ming creased at the end of tumble drying. This  
is a helpful option if you are unable to take out  
the fabrics promptly at the end of the tumbling  
phase.  
You can choose a programme duration of 1, 2  
or 3 hours. The drum will then continue to  
rotate intermittently, i.e., three seconds every  
minute for the number of hours chosen.  
If you choose Buzzer ON, a signal will sound  
each time the drum rotates.  
TEMPERATURE  
You can select Low temperature  
for the  
Extra dry, Dry, Normal dry and Iron dry pro-  
grammes.  
DRYING TIME  
The drying time may be influenced by a number  
of factors, such as the size of the load, the pro-  
gram selected, the moisture content of the load,  
the materials being washed, connection capaci-  
ty and the ambient temperature and humidity.  
Drying time remaining is calculated within four  
minutes of the start of the drying program. The  
estimated time is shown in the bottom right-  
hand corner of the display, together with the –  
symbol.

SWITCH  
NOTE  
When using theTimed dry programme, the gar-  
ments may become “over-dry” if the set drying  
time is too long. This can cause the fabrics to  
shrink or crease and take on a rough feel. Synt-  
hetic materials can also become charged with  
static electricity. Try to find the suitable drying  
time by selecting a shorter time on the first few  
occasions.

10 CARE AND CLEANING  
CLEANING THE LINT FILTER  
EMPTYING THE CONDENSATION WATER CONTAI-  
NER  
Clean the lint filter after each tumble drying  
operation.  
Empty the condensation water container after  
each tumble drying.  
If your water is very hard a deposit of lime  
may be formed on the filter. Check when clea-  
ning lint from the filter if there is any sign of  
lime, if so wash the lint filter by hand to remove  
any deposits.  
Pull out the condensation water container,  
empty the water and put  
the container  
back.  
1. Grasp the filter handle  
and pull towards you.  
2. Pull the filter  
up out of the hol-  
der.  
If the condensation water container beco-  
mes too full, the programme will be interrupted  
and  
will appear in the display. Empty the  
button and the  
container and press the  
programme will continue from where it was in-  
terrupted, see also Chapter 11, Trouble shoo-  
ting.

NOTE  
Do not pull out the condensation water contai-  
ner while the machine is running.  
CLEANING THE OUTSIDE OF THE MACHINE  
Use a mild detergent to clean the outside of the  
machine. Do not use any solvents, they can da-  
mage the machine. Do not spray the machine  
with water.  
3. Open the filter and remove fluff from all  
sides of the filter by hand. Use a soft dry cloth  
to remove any remaining fluff.  
NOTE  
Do not allow dust to accumulate round the  
machine. Keep clean and cool around the tum-  
ble dryer. Dust, heat and moisture prolong the  
drying time.  
4. Replace the filter in the filter holder.  
If limescale develops on the filter, rinse it in  
water to remove the limescale.  
Dry the filter thoroughly with a hand towel.

11 TROUBLE SHOOTING  
THE MACHINE WILL NOT START  
Check that:  
Should the machine turn itself off because of  
overheating, it will not be possible to restart  
the unit until it has cooled down sufficiently.  
This could possibly take up to thirty minutes.  
To restart the unit once it has cooled down,  
press the ”Start” button.  
• The door is properly closed.  
• The main switch is pressed in.  
You have correctly set the required program-  
me or the required time in the timed dry pro-  
gramme.  
• the Delayed start option is not switched on.  
In this case, the time remaining to start in who-  
le hours will be indicated in the display (e.g.  
). To interrupt the programme, see Chap-  
ter 8 – Tumble dry.  
NOTE:  
If your dryer overheats frequently, it may not be  
vented properly or the room in which it is loca-  
ted may not have sufficient air circulation. Con-  
tact your installer to have these issues checked  
out.  
• The electric plug, if any, is firmly inserted in  
its socket.  
All fuses are intact. Switch two fuses over. It is  
not always possible to see directly if a fuse has  
blown.  
EXCESSIVE DRYING TIME  
Empty the water container and check that the  
lint filter and the condenser are not clogged,  
see Chapter 10, Care and Cleaning. Excessive  
drying times can also be caused by the machine  
being installed in a very confined space and by  
the air in the room (which cools the machine)  
becoming too warm. In this situation make sure  
that ventilation is improved, eg, by opening  
doors and/or windows.  
• The overheating device has not triggered, see  
below.  
OVERHEATING PROTECTION  
The dryer is designed with an overheat protec-  
tion switch that will automatically turn the  
machine off if the temperature gets too high.  
The machine will not start until it has cooled  
down sufficiently.  
If this does not help, check the fuses.  
If the unit shuts down because of overheating,  
check that the lint filter exhaust hose, vent duct,  
and the condenser unit are free of lint. These  
components need to be cleaned on a regular  
basis. Additionally, the lint filter may need to  
be cleaned with warm, soapy water and a soft  
brush a few times a year to ensure the filter  
screen is not blocked. Using dryer sheets (not  
recommended) can also cause this problem.
