Important safety information

These warnings have been provided in the interest of safety. You MUST read them carefully before installing or

using the appliance.

Installation

General safety

• Any electrical work required to install this appliance

should be carried out by a qualified electrician or

competent person.

• It is dangerous to alter the specifications or attempt

to modify this product in any way.

• Under no circumstances should you attempt to

repair the machine yourself. Repairs carried out by

inexperienced persons may cause injury or serious

malfunctioning. Contact your local Zanussi Service

Centre. Always insist on genuine Zanussi spare

parts.

• Care must be taken to ensure that the appliance

does not stand on the electrical supply cable.

• If the machine is situated on a carpeted floor,

please adjust the feet in order to allow air to

circulate freely.

Use

• This appliance is designed for domestic use only. If

the machine is used for any other purposes or is

not used correctly, the manufacturer accepts no

responsibility for any damage that might occur.

• Always unplug the appliance after use.

• Clothes which are dripping wet should not be

placed in the dryer.

• Danger of explosion: Never tumble dry items that

have been in contact with inflammable solvents

(petrol, methylated spirits, dry cleaning fluid and

the like). As these substances are volatile, they

could cause an explosion. Tumble dry only items

washed with water.

• Please make sure that no gas lighters have

accidentally been left in pockets of garments to be

loaded into appliance.

• Do not dry canvas shoes or sports shoes, as they

could get stuck between the door and the drum,

thus blocking this latter.

• Leave the door slightly ajar when the appliance is

not being used. This will allow the seal to be

preserved.

• Clean fluff filter after using tumble dryer. To prevent

fire risks, do not use the appliance if the fluff filter is

damaged or without filter.

• When the appliance is to be scrapped, cut off the

electrical supply cable and destroy the plug with

the remaining cable. Disable the door catch in

order to prevent children from becoming trapped

inside while playing.

Child safety

• Children are often not aware of how dangerous

electrical appliances can be. When the machine is

working, children should be carefully supervised

and not be allowed to play with the appliance.

• The packaging components (e.g. plastic film,

polystyrene) can be dangerous to children - danger

of suffocation! Keep them out of children’s reach.

• Make sure that children or pets do not climb into

the drum.

Disposal

• Packaging materials

• Machine

The materials marked with the symbol

recyclable.

are

Use authorised disposal sites for your old appliance.

Help to keep your country tidy!

This means that they can be recycled by disposing of

them properly in appropriate collection containers.

Tips for environmental protection

To save energy and to help protect the environment,

we recommend that you follow these hints:

• To utilize the maximum load, laundry which is to be

dried ready to put away (store dry) can be dried

together with items to be ironed. To do this, select

the programme for iron-dry, remove the iron-dry

items at the end of the programme and then finish-

dry the rest of the load.

• Try to load the maximum capacity of the machine

as small loads are uneconomical.

• Always load well spun laundry. The higher the spin

speed, the lower the electricity consumption and

the shorter the drying times.

• Clean the filter and condenser unit regularly to

avoid excessive drying times and high electricity

consumption.

• Do not over-dry laundry, this avoids creasing and

saves energy.

Select the drying programme according to the type

of laundry and the required degree of dryness.

• Ventilate the room well. The room temperature

should not exceed +35°C during drying.

Installation

Positioning

Stacking kit

It is recommended that, for your convenience, the

machine is positioned close to your washing

machine.

A special stacking kit is available through your

dealer, to enable the mounting of the dryer on top of

your washing machine.

The tumble dryer must be installed in a clean place,

where dirt does not build up.

Air must be able to circulate freely all round the

appliance. Do not obstruct the front ventilation grille

or the air intake grilles at the back of the machine.

To keep vibration and noise to a minimum when the

dryer is in use, it should be placed on a firm, level

surface.

P1044

Once in its permanent operating position, check that

the dryer is absolutely level with the aid of a spirit

level. If it is not, raise or lower the feet until it is.

Connecting a drain hose

If there is a sink or drain near the appliance, the

condensed water can be discharged directly through

a hose that is available on the market.

The feet must never be removed.

Do not restrict the floor clearance through deep-

pile carpets, strips of wood or similar. This might

cause heat build-up which would interfere with

the operation of the appliance.

In order to connect the hose to the appliance

proceed as follows:

• Remove the clamp (A);

• Pull out the plug (B);

Important

The hot air emitted by the tumble dryer can reach

temperatures of up to 60°C. The appliance must

therefore not be installed on floors which are not

resistant to high temperatures.

• Insert the drain hose (C);

• Fasten the hose (C) to the appliance using the

clamp (A).

When operating the tumble dryer, the room

temperature must not exceed 35°C, as it may affect

the performance of the appliance.

Electrical connection

This machine is designed to operate on a 220-230 V,

single-phase, 50 Hz supply.

P1046

P1043

Check that your domestic electrical installation can

take the maximum load required (2.2 kW), also

taking into account any other appliances in use.

If the appliance is stacked on the washing machine,

the condensed water can be discharged through the

hose as shown in figure, but take into account that

the hose must be pointed downwards.

Connect the machine to an earthed socket, in

accordance with current wiring regulations.

The manufacturer declines any

responsibility for damage or injury through

failure to comply with the above safety

precaution.

The laundry must be suitably spun in your washing machine before being placed in the tumble dryer (800 rpm

minimum). If the washing machine spins at a lower speed than 800 rpm, it is advisable to buy a spin-dryer.

Drying times are given as a guide only and vary according to the size of the load, the type of laundry, the degree

of spinning prior to drying.

Start by selecting a short drying time. If necessary, perform an additional drying cycle afterwards.

Experience will soon enable you to estimate the drying time needed for your usual laundry loads. It is advisable

to take note of them.

Size of load

It is not necessary to weigh the laundry, if these instructions are followed:

Cottons, linen: full drum, but not overloaded.

Synthetics: half drum.

Particularly delicate fabrics: do not fill the drum more than 1/3.

For a mixed load (cotton and synthetics, for example) select the drying time suitable for the most delicate fabrics

and then increase it by approx 10 mins.

Operating sequence

Before using your tumble dryer for the first time, we

recommend to place a few damp cloths inside the

appliance and dry for about 20 minutes.

There may be dust inside a brand new tumble dryer.

1. Connect the appliance.

2. Open the door by pressing the relevant button.

3. Load the items one at a time, shaking them out

loosely.

4. Close the door. Please check the laundry does

not get caught between the door and filter.

5. Select the desired drying time (in high or low

temperature section, depending on the laundry).

6. In case, press button

7. Press button

: the programme starts.

When the position

on the dial is reached, the

heating is automatically cut off and the laundry is

cooled.

After around 10 minutes, the programme is over.

Important: It is not advisable to open the door during

operation to check the degree of dryness. As the

laundry is warm, when touched it gives the

impression of still being damp, even if it is dry. Open

the door after the programme has finished.

If the programme has to be interrupted, it is

advisable to perform the cooling phase to prevent

the heat from building up inside the machine.

After drying

Switch off the appliance.

Clean the filter and empty water container (see

page 12).

• Easy-care items, too, e.g. shirts, should be briefly

pre-spun before drying (depending on crease

resistance approx. 30 seconds or using the special

brief spin programme of your washing machine).

Useful hints

• Try to load to the maximum capacity of the

machine as small loads are uneconomical.

For information, here is a list of the average

weights of some common laundry items.

• Knitted textiles (knitted underwear) may shrink a

little during drying. Please do not overdry items of

this type. It is advisable to allow for shrinkage

when choosing the size of new purchases.

Sheet

700 - 1000 g

• You can also put starched items into your dryer.

However, to achieve the desired starched effect,

choose the programme “iron dry”. To remove any

starch residues, wipe out the internal drum after

drying with a moist cloth and then rub it dry.

Ladies’ nightdress

• Never tumble dry the following:

Particularly delicate items such as net curtains,

woollen, silk, fabrics with metal trim, nylon tights,

bulky materials such as anoraks, blankets,

eiderdowns, sleeping bags, feather quilts and any

items containing rubber foam or materials similar to

rubber foam.

• Always follow the instructions on garment labels:

normal drying (high temperature)

delicate drying (low temperature)

do not tumble dry

• Close pillowcases and covers with fasteners to

prevent small laundry items getting tangled inside

them. Close press studs, zips and hooks and tie

belts and apron strings.

• Sort laundry according to type and degree of

drying required.

• Do not over-dry laundry, this avoids creasing and

saves energy.

• Avoid drying dark clothes with light coloured fluffy

items such as towels as they could attract the fluff.

• The laundry must be thoroughly spun before

tumble drying.
