• To avoid a static charge when drying is com-
pleted, use either a fabric softener when you
are washing the laundry or a fabric condition-
er specifically for tumble dryers.
• Garments padded with foam-rubber or mate-
rials similar to foam-rubber must not be ma-
chine dried; they represent a fire hazard.
• Also, fabrics containing residue of setting lo-
tions or hair sprays, nail solvents or similar
solutions must not be machine dried in order
to avoid the formation of harmful vapours.
The detergent and any additives must be
placed in the appropriate compartments of the
dispenser drawer before starting the wash pro-
gramme.
If using liquid detergents, a programme
with-
out
prewash must be selected.
Your appliance incorporates a re-circulation
system which allows an optimal use of the con-
centrated detergent.
Follow the product manufacturer’s recommen-
dations on quantities to use and do
not ex-
ceed the «MAX» mark in the detergent
dispenser drawer
.

indicated in the «Drying programmes» chapter.
The experience will help you to dry your laundry
in a more suitable way, according to the differ-
ent fabrics. Take note of the duration drying
time of the already performed cycles.
Additional drying
If the laundry is still damp at the end of the dry-
ing programme, select a short drying cycle
again.
Warning!
Do not over dry the laundry
in order to avoid creasing of fabrics
or garment’s shrinking.
First use
• Ensure that the electrical and water
connections comply with the installation
instructions.
• Remove the polystyrene block and any
material from the drum.
• Before the first wash, run a cotton cycle
at the highest temperature without any
laundry in the machine, to remove any
manufacturing residue from the drum
and tub. Pour 1/2 a measure of deter-
gent into the main wash compartment
and start the machine.
