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

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.

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 –

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.
