Sorting laundry

• Check the symbols on the care labels of the various gar-

ments to verify whether the garments can be safely tumble

dried.

• Sort laundry according to the type of fabric.

• Empty all pockets and check for loose buttons.

• Close zips and hooks and fasten belts and strings without

tightening them.

• Wring out garments to remove the maximum amount of

water possible.

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 kg

Synthetic fibres: maximum kg

! Do not overload the dryer as this may result is reduced

drying performance.

Care labels

Always check the care labels, especially when placing

garments in the tumble dryer for the first time. Below are the

most commonly used symbols:

May be tumble dried.

Do not tumble dry.

Tumble dry – high heat.

Tumble dry – low heat.

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.

• 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. Items that require

complete drying can be left longer.

• Heat setting.

• 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.

! 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 Timed drying settings are also indicated to enable you

to select the most suitable timed option.

The weight refers to dry items.

Troubleshooting

Possible causes / Solutions:

• 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 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.

• 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

it before starting a new drying programme (see Description of the tumble dryer) -

do not wait for the bottle full signal (buzzer beeps once every 5 seconds and the

indicator light flashes) before emptying the water container.

! 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

repeat the programme; if the items are still damp, contact the Technical Assistance

Centre (see Assistance).

• This is normal, especially if the dryer has not been used for a long time. If the noise

persists during the entire cycle, contact the Technical Assistance Centre.

The dryer has gone into standby mode to save power. This occurs if you have left the

dryer on or have had a power cut. It occurs after 30 minutes:

- if you leave the dryer without starting a programme;

- after your drying programme has finished.

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.

If you feel that the dryer is not working properly, consult the following troubleshooting suggestions before contacting the Technical

Assistance Centre (see Assistance).

Problem:

The dryer does not start.

The drying cycle does not start.

Drying times are too long.

The “Empty water container” indi-

cator light flashes.

The programme is finished but the

items are damper than expected.

The dryer is noisy during the first

few minutes of operation.

The lights on the dryer control

panel are off although the dryer is

switched on.
