7.3 HANDY TIPS
Do not load the appliance with fabrics that
were cleaned, soaked, impregnated or
washed with inflammable or explosive sub-
stances. If this is unavoidable, wash them in
water beforehand.
To avoid personal injure and property dam-
age, read the instructions carefully before
using the appliance. Keep solvents and other
inflammable liquids far from the dryer, in a
dry and airy place unavailable to unauthor-
ised persons.
Store cleaning agents far from the reach of
children, in safely locked compartments.
Use this appliance to dry only water-washed
fabrics that admit tumble drying.
Check that the manufacturers’ labels on the
garments allow tumble drying.
Do not allow children to play with or near the
dryer. Touching the drum or the laundry
during operation can cause burns. In case of
accidental contact, see a doctor. Do not
smoke near the dryer or during operation.
Do not ignore safety devices. Maintenance
or servicing can be carried out by authorised
personnel only.
Do not switch the appliance off when tem-
perature in the drum is above 50
°
C.
If a potential drop should occur during op-
eration, open the door and start the machine
again as soon as power is back.
The recommended moisture content in laun-
dry for maximum energy saving is 5-20%.
Do not use your appliance to dry unspun
garments or fabrics containing more than
100% of moisture, or else split the load into
two different cycles.
Do not wait for the dryer to be cold before
starting a new cycle.
The dryer performs best when ambient hu-
midity is low: prefer fine days for operation.
To calculate residual moisture weigh the
laundry before washing and after drying.
The difference between these two values is
water content. The figure obtained by divid-
ing water content by the initial weight is
residual moisture.
Before moving or servicing the dryer and at
any rate after finishing operation, discon-
nect the electric supply and unplug without
pulling the cord.
After servicing, make sure the machine is
entirely reassembled and parts preventing
accidental access to moving and live com-
ponents are back in place.
Keep this manual with the appliance and
make it available to all present or prospec-
tive operators.
Do not use antistatic solutions or detergents
unless they are recommended by the manu-
facturers.
Do not let the appliance on to no purpose.
Turn off the main switch when it is not used.
During operation:
Do not touch parts affected by hot air, like
exhaust ducts, door or cabinet top, which
could be hot even 30 minutes after the end of
the cycle.
7.4 INFORMATION ON SPECIAL USE
AND SAFETY MEASURES
When carrying out the very first cycle, it is
advisable to load the dryer with useless rags
to remove all traces of manufacturing grease.
WARNING
Always behave cautiously when near the
machine. Do not exclude safety devices. Use
original spare parts only.
When servicing the machine, stick to the
present instructions and if necessary contact
our engineering office for support, reporting
the machine serial number and model. Dis-
connect the appliance from the power mains
before any maintenance job.
7.5 ORDINARY MAINTENANCE TO BE
PERFORMED BY THE USER
BEFORE CARRYING OUT ANY
MAINTENANCE PROCEDURE, DIS-
CONNECT THE APPLIANCE FROM
THE POWER MAINS BY THE MAIN
SWITCH.
LINT FILTER
Garments wear out through use. During dry-
ing they may consequently release fabric
fragments that are collected in the lint filter.
Therefore, clean the lint filter after every
single cycle as follows:
1.
Extract the filter support
2.
Remove lint by hand
3.
Put the filter back in place.
CABINET, LOADING DOOR AND
PLASTIC PARTS
Clean using soft soap or similar cleaning
product appropriate for plastic material. Do
not use scouring agents.
Do not use water jets to clean the appli-
ance. Wipe with a soft mop.
DRUM
In the long run deposits build up on the
drum. To clean it up use a soft cloth soaked
in vinegar. Do not use solvents (risk of fire
and explosion).
DOOR GASKET
To ensure good door seal wipe the gasket
using a wet cloth to remove build-ups.
INNER FACE OF DOOR
Remove any dirt using a brush or a similar
object.
7.6 TROUBLESHOOTING INSTRUC-
TIONS
Small faults can be solved by the user.
In case of machine failure, before calling the
after-sales service check the following:
-
The main switch may not be on and
the machine may not be energised.
-
The plug may not be plugged into the
receptacle correctly.
-
The door may be open.
-
You have not chosen a drying
program and pressed the START
button.
If drying time is too long or the laundry
comes out wet, check the following:
-
The lint filter may be clogged: clean
it.
-
The drum may have been overloaded:
take some garments out.
-
Room aeration may be insufficient:
open a door or window.
-
Cycle selection may be incorrect:
select a higher drying degree.
-
The heat exchanger may be dirty:
clean it.
-
There may have been a potential
drop: press the start button again.
Once such steps have been either checked or
sorted out, if the fault has not disappeared,
call the licensed assistance centre or dealer
reporting machine model and serial number
as indicated on the rating plate.
PRIOR TO CONNECTING POWER
SUPPLY AGAIN BY THE MAIN
SWITCH, PUT ALL THE REMOVED
PANELS BACK IN PLACE.
