Step 1 Open the dryer door by pressing it as shown in the picture. 2 Failure to clean the filter after each drying cycle can undermine drying performance as the machine takes longer to dry and thus consumes more energy. Step 1 Pull the water container towards you and remove it completely from the dryer. Step 2 Empty all the water in the water container. Step 2 Pull out the filter (using two fingers). Step 3 Replace the water container making sure that it is securely fixed. Step 3 Clean off any fluff build-up on the internal surface of the filter. Failure to empty the water container may cause the following: - The dryer stops heating (thus the load may still be damp at the end of the drying cycle). [. . . ] This procedure can be used to select the Cold drying programme to cool garments if they are judged to be dry enough. Note: In the event of a power cut, turn the power switch off and remove the plug; when the electricity supply returns, press the START/PAUSE button to resume the programme. 10 Laundry Sorting laundry Check the symbols on the care labels of the various garments to verify whether the garments can be safely tumble dried. Close zips and hooks and fasten belts and strings without tightening them. Wring out garments to remove the maximum amount of water possible. Care labels Always check the care labels, especially when placing garments in the tumble dryer for the first time. Tumble dry low heat. EN Do not load the dryer when garments are dripping wet. Maximum load sizes Do not overload the drum. The following values indicate the weight of dry garments: Natural fibres: maximum 8 kg Synthetic fibres: maximum 3 kg Do not overload the dryer as this may result is reduced drying performance. Typical weights Note: 1 kg = 1000 g Garments Blouse Dress Jeans 10 Nappie Shirt T-shirt Household linen Duvet cover (double bed) Large tablecloth Small tablecloth Tea cloth Bath towel Hand towel Double bed sheet Single bed sheet Cotton Other 1, 500 g 1, 000 g 700 g 250 g 100 g 700 g 350 g 500 g 350 g Cotton Other Cotton Other Cotton Other 150 100 500 350 g g g g Items not suitable for tumble drying: Items containing rubber parts or similar materials, or plastic film covering (pillows, cushions or PVC sports jackets), any type of inflammable object or objects containing inflammable substances (used towels containing hairspray). Items marked with the ITLC symbol (Special garments) , which may be washed using special household products. Large bulky items (duvets, sleeping bags, pillows, cushions, large bedcovers, etc. ) that expand when dried and hamper air circulation inside the tumble dryer. 700 g 1, 000 g 300 g 200 g 125 g When mixing synthetic fibres with cotton garments, the latter may still be damp at the end of the drying cycle. Note: when setting the duration of the drying cycle, remember that the cold drying phase runs during the last 10 minutes, during which the dryer does not dry the garments. 11 EN Special items Blankets and bedcovers: acrylic items (Acilian, Courtelle, Orion, Dralon) must be dried with great care at low heat. Creased or pleated garments: read the drying instructions supplied by the manufacturer. Remove the maximum amount of starch solution possible before placing these items in the dryer. Do not over-dry: starch turns powdery leaving garments limp this defeats its purpose. Amount of laundry: single items and small loads may take longer to dry. Drying: if items are to be ironed, they can be removed from the dryer while still slightly damp. Temperature of the room: the lower the temperature of the room, the longer it will take for the dryer to dry clothing. Bulk: certain bulky items require special care during the drying process. We suggest removing these items and replacing them in the dryer once they have been shaken out: repeat this procedure several times during the course of the drying cycle. Drying times Drying times are approximate and may vary depending on the following: Amount of water retained by items after the spin cycle: towels and delicate items retain a lot of water. Fabrics: items of the same fabric, but with different texture and thickness may have different drying times. Do not over-dry items. All fabrics contain natural dampness which helps to keep them soft and fluffy. The drying times provided refer to the automatic Cupboard dry programmes. The weight refers to dry items. Automatic drying times Cotton High heat Drying times after 800-1000 rpm wash cycles Half load 1 kg 30 - 40 minutes Synthetics Low heat 2 kg 40 - 55 minutes 3 kg 55 - 70 minutes 4 kg 70 - 80 minutes 5 kg 80 - 90 minutes 6 kg 95 - 120 minutes 7 kg 120 - 140 minutes Full load 8 kg 130 - 150 minutes Drying times after wash cycles at lower speeds Half load 1 kg 40 - 50 minutes Acrylics Low heat Drying times after wash cycles at lower speeds Half load 1 kg 40 - 60 minutes Full load 2 kg 55 - 75 minutes 2 kg 50 - 70 minutes Full load 3 kg 70 - 90 minutes 12 Warnings and suggestions This appliance was designed and manufactured in compliance with current international safety standards.
