Save energy and respect the

environment

• Wring out all items to eliminate excess water

before tumble drying (if you use a washing
machine first, select a high spin cycle). Doing
this will save time and energy during drying.
• Always dry full loads - you save energy: single
items or small loads take longer to dry.
• Clean the filter after each use to contain energy
consumption costs (see Maintenance).

 How too carry out
a drying cycle
Starting and selecting a programme
GB
1. Plug the dryer into the power supply socket.

2. Sort your laundry according to fabric type (see Laundry).

3. Open the door, ensure that the filter is clean and securely placed and that the water container is empty and correctly slotted (see
Care and maintenance).

4. Load the machine, making sure that no piece of laundry gets between the door and the relative seal. Close the door.

5. Turn on the dryer by moving the knob to a position other than OFF.

6. After consulting the programme chart and the indications for each type of fabric (see Laundry), turn the Programme selection
knob towards the programme corresponding to the type of laundry to be dried (see Programmes and options).
! Warning: If the position of the programme selection knob changes after pressing the START/PAUSE button, the selected program-
me will NOT be modified. To modify the programme, press the START/PAUSE button to put the programme in pause mode (the
indicator light flashes orange), then select a new programme and the relative options. Press the START/PAUSE button to start the
new programme.

7. If necessary, set the time of the delayed start and any other options (see Programmes and options).

8. Press the START/PAUSE button to start the drying cycle.

Laundry can be checked while the drying programme runs and any garments already dry can be removed, while drying continues
for the remaining items. After closing the door, press the START/PAUSE button to resume machine operation.

9. The final COOL TUMBLE phase (i.e. the fabrics are cooled) activates during the last few minutes of the drying programme; always
allow this phase to terminate.

10. When the END indicator light turns on, the programme has ended. The buzzer will beep 3 times to let you know that your
programme is complete. Open the door, remove the laundry then clean the filter and replace it. Empty the water container and put it
back in its slot (see Care and maintenance).

If the clothes are not removed at the end of the cycle the automatic ANTI CREASE action will, on those programmes with this
feature, continue to rotate the drum intermittently for up to 10 hours to minimise creasing. The phase is stopped when the door is
opened or when the knob is set to OFF

11. Set the program knob to OFF to switch off the machine.

12. Disconnect the dryer from the power supply.

Automatic Anti Crease

This is an automatic function which provides an anti crease treatment both before and after the drying programme. By periodically
rotating the drum before the start of the drying cycle, when a delayed start is selected, the formation of creases is prevented. On
certain programmes the drum also rotates periodically at the end of the drying cycle on. The phase is stopped when the door is
opened or when the knob is set to OFF

Stand-by mode
This tumble dryer, in compliance with new energy saving regulations, is fitted with an automatic standby system which is enabled
after about 30 minutes if no activity is detected.
Turn the knob to the desired program to restart dryer operation (to start the program press START/PAUSE). The OFF position
switches off the dryer.

Programmes
Energy Saver
The Energy Saver Cycles reduce energy consumption and so they not only help the environment, they also cut your energy bill!
Energy Saver Cycles are available for several different types of fabric and they have been designed to give excellent drying perfor-
mance for small loads.
Energy Saver Cycles give the best drying results thanks to perfect temperature regulation and to accurate humidity detection which
is optimized small loads.

Cottons
Standard Cotton: Dries your items to a dryness level that allows you to put your clothes away straight from the dryer.
Cotton Extra Dry: Dries your items to the maximum possible dryness level. Even drier than Standard Cotton dry.
Cotton Fast Iron: Dries your items to a dryness level that allows them to minimise ironing.

Synthetics
Recommended to delicately dry synthetic fabrics. This program can also used for delicates/acrylic fabrics (2kg) with LIGHT
DRYING option on

Easy Mix
This programme is ideal for drying cotton and synthetic fabrics together.

11
 Wool
GB This programme is specific for items that withstand tumble drying and are labelled with the symbol. It is suitable for loads of up to
1 kg (about 3 jerseys). We recommend turning the garments inside out before drying them. Garments dried with this programme are
usually ready to be worn, although the edges of heavier garments may be slightly damp. Leave them to dry naturally, as an additio-
nal drying process may damage them.
! Unlike other materials, the shrinking process in wool is irreversible, i.e. the garment does not resume its original dimension and
shape.
! This programme is not suited for acrylic items.

Fitness
This programme is studied for safely drying garments such as tracksuits and Fitness suits bearing the symbol. Suitable for loads of
up to 4 kg. We suggest turning garments inside out before drying them.

Outwear Programme
This programme is specific for drying water-repellent fabrics and sports jackets (e.g. Gore-Tex, polyester, nylon). Drying the garment
after a wash cycle has a beneficial effect as it reactivates the garment’s water-repellent treatment.
It can be used for loads of up to 2 kg.

Jeans
●This is a programme for jeans made from denim cotton. Before drying your jeans turn the front pockets inside out.
● Do not mix dark and light coloured items.
It can also be used on other garments made from the same material, such as jackets.
● Loads dried using this programme are usually ready to wear, the edges or seams may be slightly damp. If this is
the case, try turning the jeans inside out and running the programme again for a short period.
! We do not recommend that you use this programme if your jeans have elastic waist bands, studs or embroidery.

My TiME (15’ - 35’ - 60’)

These programmes can be used if you want to set drying time and temperature.
The COOL TUMBLE cycle runs during the final minutes of the programme.
Damp to Dry 15’ timed programme is ideal to remove damp from tea towels and bath robe used once.
Xpress 35’: this is a quick timed programme, ideal for drying garments spun at high speed in the washing machine, for example
shirts used in a work week.
Daily 60’: a timed programme, ideal for drying garments spun at high speed in the washing machine, for example a change of
sheets.

Freshen Up
A short programme suitable for refreshing fibres and garments. It lasts about 20 minutes.
! As this is not a drying programme, 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

12 12
Options
The options allow for customising the selected programme according to one’s own needs. GB

Delay timer
The start of some programmes (see Programmes and options) may be delayed up to 9 hours. Press the button repeatedly to enter
the desired delay time. Before setting a delayed start, make sure that the water container is empty and that the filter is clean.The
drum will rotate occasionally before the drying programme starts to prevent the formation of creases.

Child Lock
Prevents the program settings from being changed. After having selected the program and the available options, hold down the two
option buttons for 3 seconds (see “Dryer description”)
A prolonged beep will sound when the buttons are pressed and the LEDs on the options buttons will flash slowly twice. The LEDs
on the previously selected options will then remain lit but will no longer be modifiable.
If you attempt to change the settings with Child Lock activated, 3 short beeps will sound and 3 rapid flashes will warn you that it is
not possible to modify the program or the options underway.
Hold down the options buttons for three seconds to deactivate the Child Lock option. Child Lock can be selected with all
programs. The OFF position switches off the dryer.

Light Drying
Light Drying is a special option designed to gentle dry delicate clothes.
Press this button to select the low temperature setting; the light next to the button will switch on. Activating this option will increase
the duration of the cycles

! Not all options are available on all programmes (see Programmes and options).

Opening the door

If the door is opened (or the START/PAUSE button is pressed) while a programme is running, the dryer stops and the following may
occur:
• The START/PAUSE button flashes orange.
• When a delayed start is running, the delay countdown continues. It is necessary to press the START/PAUSE button to resume the
“Delay timer” programme. One of the “Delay timer” indicator light flashes to signal the delay time entered.
• It is necessary to press the START/PAUSE button to resume the programme. The progress indicator lights signal the running pha-
se and the START/PAUSE indicator light stops flashing and turns green.
• When post care phase is active it means that drying programma is already ended. Pressing the START/PAUSE button reactivates
a new programme from the beginning.
• By turning the Programme selection knob, a new programme is selected and the START/PAUSE indicator light flashes green. This
procedure can be used to select the COOL TUMBLE programme to cool garments if they are judged to be dry enough.
Press the START/PAUSE button to start the new programme.

Note: If you have a power cut, switch off the power or remove the plug. When power is restored, plug in the machine. Turn the
knob to the desired program to restart dryer operation (to start the program press START/PAUSE). The OFF position switches off

Troubleshooting

If you feel that the dryer is not working properly, consult the following troubleshooting suggestions before contacting the Technical
Assistance Centre (see Assistance). GB

Problem: Possible causes / Solutions:

The dryer does not start. • The plug has not been inserted far enough into the socket to make contact.
• There has been a power cut.
• The fuse has burned out. Try connecting another appliance to the same socket.
• If an extension cord is used, try connecting the dryer plug directly into the socket.
• The door has not been closed properly.
• The programme has not been set correctly (see How to carry out a drying cycle).
• The START/PAUSE button has not been pressed (see How to carry out a drying
cycle).

The drying cycle does not start. • A delayed start time has been set (see Programmes and options).
• The START/PAUSE button has been pressed; a short delay follows before the dryer
starts running. Wait for the drying cycle to start; do not press the START/PAUSE
button otherwise the dryer switches to the pause mode and the drying cycle will not
start.

Drying times are too long. • The filter has not been cleaned (see Care and maintenance).
• The water container must be emptied? The “Empty water container” indicator light
flashes (see Care and maintenance).
• The condenser needs to be cleaned (see Care and maintenance).
• The heat setting is not suited to the type of fabric to be dried (see Programmes and
options).
• An incorrect drying time was selected for the type of load (see Laundry).
• The air intake grille or the rear air vents are clogged up (see Installation, and Care
and maintenance).
• The items are too wet (see Laundry).
• The dryer is overloaded (see Laundry).

• The water bottle was not emptied before starting the programme. Always empty

The programme is finished but the
items are damper than expected. ! For safety reasons, the dryer programmes last a maximum of 5 hours. If an
automatic programme has not detected the final dampness level required in this
interval, the dryer completes the programme and stops. Check the above points and

Information on recycling and disposal

As part of our continual commitment towards environmental protection, we reserve the right to use recycled quality components to
reduce costs for our customers and to minimise materials wastage.
• Disposing of the packaging materials: follow local regulations to allow for recycling of packaging materials.
• In order to minimise the risk of injury to children, remove the door and plug, then cut the power supply cord flush with the ap-
pliance. Dispose of these parts separately to prevent the appliance from being connected to a power supply socket.

Disposal of old household appliances

European Directive 2012/19/EC concerning Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) states that household
appliances should not be disposed of using the normal solid urban waste cycle. Exhausted appliances should be collected
separately in order to optimise the cost of re-using and recycling materials comprising the machine, while preventing
potential damage to public health and the environment. The crossed-out wheeled bin symbol appears on all products to
remind owners of the obligations regarding separate waste collection.
Owners should contact their local authorities or appliance dealers for further information concerning the correct disposal of hou-
sehold appliances.

This appliance conforms to the following EU directives:

- 2006/95/EC (Low Voltage Directive)

- 2004/108/EC (Electromagnetic Compatibility Directive).
