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.

• This tumble dryer is designed to be vented through

to the open air. It should have its own ventilation

system which should not be joined with any other

ventilation system connected to any other

appliance.

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.

Use

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

polystyrene) can be dangerous to children - danger

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

• 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.

• Make sure that children or pets do not climb into

the drum.

• Always unplug the appliance after use.

• 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.

• 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 filters after using the tumble dryer. To

prevent fire risks, do not use the appliance if the

fluff filters are damaged or without filters.

• Do not allow fluff to accumulate around the dryer.

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 filters 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

The feet must never be removed.

Warning!

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.

Unpacking

Slide out the polythene bag with the

polystyrene stuffing before using the appliance.

Important

When operating the tumble dryer, the room

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

the performance of the appliance.

Fitting the vent hose

To simplify the installation, there is a choice of vent

outlets: one at the back, the others in the left and

right-hand side.

Connect the hose to whichever is the more

convenient by pulling the ring nut (A) from the vent

outlet at the back, screwing it on to the hose and

pushing it firmly back into place.

P1106

The unused vents should now be sealed with the

special snap covers provided.

Positioning

It is recommended that, for your convenience, the

machine is positioned close to your washing machine.

Whilst drying, the tumble dryer will expel a certain

amount of warm, very moist air, and this should be

removed from the room as quickly as possible to

prevent condensation. In an extremely well ventilated

room or close to an open window, this may occur

naturally.

However, in general, it is better to carry the dryer's

exhaust outside via the 100 mm diameter flexible

hose supplied with the appliance; ending either

temporarily at an open window, or permanently at a

fixed ventilation grille, fitted to an exterior wall or

window.

The tumble dryer must be installed in a clean place,

where dirt does not build up.

Make sure there are no obstructing items or material

near the air-intake louvres provided at

P1028

P1027

Advice: If the hose is long and the room

temperature low, the moisture might condense to

water inside the hose. This is an unavoidable

natural phenomenon. To prevent this water from

Iying in the hose or flowing back into the tumble

dryer, it is advisable to drill a small hole (dia.

3 mm) in the lowest point of the hose and to place a

small container below it.(See picture, point B).

the back (e.g. paper, rags etc.).

To keep vibration and noise to a minimum when the

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

surface.

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.

Once connected to the dryer, run the vent hose to

the desired outlet point, ensuring that the run’s

overall length is less than 2 m, and that it contains no

more than two bends. As to the outlet itself, if you

have decided on a fixed wall/window grille, a good

local builder’s merchant should be able to supply you

with the necessary fittings and installation advice.

Electrical connection

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

single-phase, 50 Hz supply.

Check that your domestic electrical installation can

take the maximum load required (2.2 kW), also

taking into account any other appliances in use.

Connect the machine to an earthed socket, in

accordance with current wiring regulations.

It is important not to connect the vent

hose to, for example, a cooker hood, or

a chimney or flue pipe designed to carry

the exhaust from a fuel burning

appliance.

The manufacturer declines any

responsibility for damage or injury

through failure to comply with the

above safety precaution.

Stacking kit

A special stacking kit is available through your

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

your washing machine.

P0055

Note that to avoid condensation problems, it is

essential that the dryer be fitted with the flexible hose

to carry its “exhaust” at least beyond the kitchen

units; preferable outside the kitchen.

P1107

In order to prevent the appliance from overheating, it

is important that the steam exhaust is unobstructed.

Therefore, in case of a permanent hose fitted to an

exterior wall or ceiling, it must be ensured an

exhaust capacity of at least 150 m³/h.

If the dryer is fitted next to kitchen units, make

sure that the vent hose is not squashed. If the

hose is partially squashed, drying efficiency will

be reduced, resulting in longer drying times and

higher energy consumption.

If the hose is completely squashed, the safety

cut-outs with which the machine is fitted may

operate.

5 Drying Time Selector Dial

This will help you to select the correct time for drying.

The selector dial incorporates two drying cycles, one

of up to 150 minutes at a high temperature for

cotton and linen, and one of up to 100 minutes at a

low temperature for synthetic fabrics.

2 Low Temperature Button

Press this button to reduce the temperature when

drying particularly delicate cotton or linen items.

In this case you should select a longer drying time.

On the programmes for synthetics the temperature is

automatically reduced.

To set the machine to the selected time, turn the dial

clockwise until the time you want coincides exactly

with the pointer.

NEVER attempt to turn the dial in an anticlockwise

direction.

Therefore it is not necessary to depress this button.

When selecting the drying time, you should

remember that it includes a 10 minute cooling phase

(position

on the dial).

3 Start Button

This phase should not be shortened, stopped or

avoided, as this could cause skin burns or damages

to the laundry.

After selecting the drying time press this button to

start the programme.

If the door is opened during drying, this button has to

be depressed again after closing the door to allow

the programme to continue.

Additional drying

If at the end of the programme the laundry is still too

damp, set the dial for a further period of drying

(remembering to take into account the cooling

period).

Never overfill the drum (do not load large quilts, for example).

The laundry must be suitably spin dried in your washing machine before being placed in the tumble dryer

(500rpm minimum).

Drying times vary according to:

- The type of laundry

- The size of the load

- The degree of spinning prior to drying

Drying times are given as a guide only. Experience will soon enable you to estimate the drying time needed for

your usual laundry loads.

Do not start by selecting a long drying time. It is better to determine the required degree of dryness by gradually

increasing the drying time.

For a mixed load (cotton and resistant synthetics, for example) select the time for the most delicate fibres and

increase it by 10 mins.

• Avoid drying dark clothes with light coloured fluffy

items such as towels as they could attract the fluff.

Useful hints

• The laundry must be thoroughly spun before

tumble drying.

• 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.

• 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).
