2. Open the door, ensure that the filter is clean and securely
placed, check to see if the drum is empty before loading it.
3. Load garments; always refer to instructions on clothing labels and
the max loads indicated in the drying time table. Empty pockets.
Make sure garments do not get caught between the door and/or
the door filter.
Do not load items that are dripping wet. Do not
tumble dry large, very bulky items.
4. Close the door.
5. Turn the “Timer" selection knob until the indicator is pointing

DRYING TIMES
Refresh
A short cycle suitable for refreshing fibres and garments through the
emission of fresh air. It lasts about 10 minutes. As this is not a drying cycle,
it is not to be used for garments that are still wet. It can be used on any load
size but is more effective on smaller loads.
Drying Times
The drying time depends on the size of the load and on the type of fabric
it contains (see the table below).
A cool tumble cycle runs during the final 10 minutes of the cycle.
High Heat Cotton is the most efficient setting in terms of energy
consumption (EU 392/2012). To reach maximum efficiency, select the
highest temperature option.
Drying Times table
The tables below show approximate drying times in minutes.
Weights refer to dry garment weights.
Drying times are approximate and may vary depending on the following:
• Amount of water retained after the spin cycle: towels and delicate items
can retain a lot of water (if laundry retains a large amount of water,
use a longer cycle than the one recommended).
• Fabrics: items of the same fabric, but with different texture and
thickness may have different drying times.
• Amount of laundry: single items and small loads take less time to dry.
• Ironing: if you will be ironing laundry, remove while slightly damp for
better results. Items not being ironed can be left longer.
• Temperature of the room: the lower the temperature of the room, the
longer it will take for the dryer to dry clothing.
• Bulky items: bulky items require special care. We recommend removing
several times the items during the drying cycle to shake them out.
Warning: do not over-dry items.
All fabrics contain natural dampness which helps to keep them soft and fluffy.
CARE LABEL
Always check the care labels, especially when placing garments in
the tumble dryer for the fi rst time. Below are the most commonly
used symbols:
May be tumble dried.
Do not tumble dry.
Tumble dry – high heat.
Tumble dry – low heat.

Venting
The vent tube should not exceed 2.4 metres in length.
The tube should be kept clear of the air intake vent and
kinks or ‘U’ bends must be avoided as these will obstruct
the tube and trap condensation. Keep the tube as short
and as straight as possible to prevent condensation
forming in the vent pipe. Never direct the vent tube
outlet towards the air intake at the back of the machine.
The end of the tube should be directed downwards,
to prevent warm moist air from condensing in the
room or dryer. Do not discharge exhaust air into an
extraction system or any duct with an extractor fan.
This will affect the way the thermal controls operate
and can result in a fire hazard.
TROUBLESHOOTING
Before contacting the Service Centre, refer to the table below. Often the malfunctions are minor and can be solved in few minutes.
Malfunction
Possible cause
Solution
The tumble dryer does
not start.
The plug is not inserted into the socket.
Insert the plug into the socket.
The plug is faulty.
Try to plug another appliance in the same socket. Do
not use connecting electrical devices to the socket,
such as adapters or extensions.
A power failure occurred. Wait for the power supply to be restored and switch
the fuse on again if necessary.
The door has not been closed properly.
Close the door.

suitable drying time and options for the type of load.
The "Start" button was not pressed to begin drying. Press the "Start" button.
The drying times are
very long.
An appropriate maintenance was not carried out. Refer to the "Care & Maintenance" section and
perform the described operations.
An incorrect drying time or option was selected for
the type of load.
Refer to the "Drying Time" section to find the most
suitable drying times cycle and options for the type
of load.
The garments are too wet. Carry out a washing cycle with higher spin speed to
remove as much water as possible.
The dryer may be overloaded. Refer to the "Drying Times" table to check the max
load for each drying times cycle.
The vent tube or air intake vent is clogged up. Clean and do not occlude the vent tube and the air
intake vent, refer to "Care & Maintenance" section.
The dryer is noisy
during the first few
minutes of operation.
This is normal, especially if the dryer has not been
used for a long time.
If the noise persists during the entire drying cycle,
contact the After-sales Service.
Drum - slight odour or
vapour.
Slight odour or vapour may be found if you open
the door during its first use. This is normal and should only last a few minutes.
The timer reset to zero
without the dryer
running.
This is normal, during this period you may hear a
ticking noise from the timer.
This ensures you select the correct drying time when
you next use the dryer.
03/2022
WARNING: unplug the dryer during the cleaning and
maintenance procedures.
Cleaning the tumble dryer
• The external metal, plastic and rubber parts can be cleaned with a damp cloth.
• At least every two or three months you MUST clean fluff build up around the filter housing and the vent tube. Check the vent
tube and any permanent venting fixture to make sure that there has been no accumulation of fluff or lint.
• Do not use solvents or abrasives.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Cleaning the door lter after each cycle.
Pull the filter out and clean it by removing the
lint from the filter surface under running water or
using a vacuum cleaner. For optimal performance,
dry up the filter before inserting it back in
place. Do not use the dryer without having
reinserted the lter in place.
Remove the door filter as described below:
1. Open the door and pull the filter upwards.
2. Remove the lint from all its parts. Replace the
filter correctly making sure it is fully seated.
The filter is an essential part for drying. It is
intended to collect the lint formed during the
drying process. If the lter is clogged, the air ow
inside the dryer can become seriously aected:
this will increase the drying time and energy
consumption, and could damage the dryer.
