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. 
Water container – empty the water container after 
each drying cycle. 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 3
Replace the water container 
making sure that it is securely 
fixed. 
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).
- The “Empty water container” LED activates to 
show that the water container is full. 
Filling of the Water Container  When the dryer is first used water will not 
immediately enter the water container as the pump 
needs to be primed. This is done automatically 
and will take a few minutes, during this period the 
efficiency of the drying process is not affected. 
Important information
2
To ensure that the condenser dryer functions efficiently, the following routine maintenance 
procedures must be carried out:
Fluff filter – CLEAN off any fluff build-up on the 
filter after each drying cycle.  Step 1
Open the dryer door by pressing 
it as shown in the picture.   
Step 2
Pull out the filter (using two 
fingers).
Step 3
Clean off any fluff build-up on the 
internal surface of the filter. 
Step 4
Replace the filter – never operate 
the dryer without the filter in 
place.  
EN  
						

							3
Condenser unit - remove any fluff build-up from the condenser on a monthly basis.
Step 1
Open the condenser cover
- grip the handle and pull 
towards you.Step 2
Remove the condenser by 
turning the 3 catches, then pull 
the condenser towards you. (It is 
normal for some residual water 
to be left in the tubes).
Step 3
Clean the condenser with 
running water over the rear side 
to remove any fluff deposits. 
Step 4
Replace the condenser unit; 
make sure that the unit is 
securely in place, that all 3 
catches are fixed and that the 
position arrows on the front end 
of the condenser are pointing 
upwards.
Failure to clean the condenser unit may cause 
premature failure of the dryer.

Installation
Where to install the tumble dryer
• Install the dryer far from gas 
ranges, stoves, radiators or 
hobs, as flames may damage 
it.
If the dryer is installed below a 
worktop, ensure there are 10 
mm between the upper panel 
of the dryer and any objects 
above it, and 15 mm between 
the sides of the machine and 
the walls or furniture units adja-
cent to it. This ensures adequate air circulation.
Ventilation
• The room must be adequately ventilated while the dryer is 
running. Make sure that the dryer is installed in a room free 
of humidity and with adequate air circulation. The flow of air 
around the dryer is essential to allow water to condense du-
ring drying; the dryer will not function properly if it is placed 
in an enclosed space or inside a cabinet.
! Some condensation may form if the dryer is used in a small 
or cold room.
! We do not recommend that the dryer is installed in a 
cupboard but the dryer must never be installed behind a 
lockable door, a sliding door or a door with a hinge on the 
opposite side to that of the dryer door.
Water drain
If your dryer is installed next to a drain the water can be
plumbed into this drain. This does away with the need to
empty the water container. If the dryer is stacked onto or
installed next to a washing machine it can share the same
drain. The height of the drain must be less than 3’ (1 m)
from the bottom of the dryer.
Remove existing hose from position shown in picture A 
and fit a suitable length of hose and connect as shown
 in picture B.
! Make sure that the hose is not squashed or kinked
when the dryer is in its final location.
Electrical connections 
Before plugging the appliance into the socket, check the 
following: 
•  Make sure your hands are dry.
•  The socket must have an earth connection.
•  The socket must be able to withstand the machine’s 
maximum power output as indicated on the data plate  (see 
Description of the tumble dryer).
•  The power supply voltage must fall within the values indi -
cated on the data plate  (see Description of the tumble dryer).
•  The socket must be compatible with the machine’s plug. If 
not, either the socket or the plug must be replaced.
! Do not use extension cords.
! The tumble dryer must not be installed in outdoor spaces, 
even if sheltered. It may be very dangerous to expose this 
appliance to rain and thunderstorms.
! Once dryer installation is complete, the electric cord and 
plug must be at hand.
! The electric cord must not be bent or crushed.
! If the plug to be replaced is of the moulded-on type, it must 
be disposed of in a safe way. DO NOT leave it where it can 
be plugged into a socket and cause electric shocks.{}
! The electric cord must be regularly checked and replaced 
with a cord specifically designed for this dryer; it must then 
be installed by an authorised technician only  (see Assistan-
ce).  New or longer electric cords are supplied by authorised 
dealers at a supplementary cost.
! The manufacturer declines all responsibility for failure 
to observe these instructions.
! When in doubt about the above indications, contact a 
qualified electrician.
Preliminary information
Once the tumble dryer is installed, clean the inside of the 
drum before operating it and remove any dirt accumulated 
during transportation.

How to carry out a 
drying cycle
Starting and selecting a programme
1. Plug the dryer into the power supply socket.
2. Select the programme according to the type of laundry (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 
Maintenance).
4. Load the machine, making sure that no piece of laundry gets between the door and the relative seal. Close the door.
5. Press the ON/OFF button to switch on the machine.
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. Select the ”Timed Drying” function by pressing the timed drying button until the required time is dispayed  (see Programmes and 
options).
8. If necessary, set the time of the delayed start and any other options  (see Programmes and options).
9. Press the ALARM 
 button to sound a buzzer signalling the end of the programme.
10. Press the START/PAUSE button to start the drying cycle. The display will show the approximate time remaining.
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.
11. 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.
12. At the end of the drying cycle the display shows END.
The buzzer will beep 3 times to let you know that your programme is complete. (Note: If the SOUND option was selected the buzzer\
 
beeps 3 times every 30 seconds for 5 minutes).
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 
Maintenance).
If the clothes are not removed at the end of the cycle the automatic  Anti Craese action will, on those programmes with this feature,  
continue to rotate the drum intermittently for up to 10 hours to minimise creasing.  Opening the door or pressing the OFF button will 
stop the  Anti Crease action.
13. Disconnect the dryer from the power supply.
Automatic pre-post 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 f\
ormation of creases is prevented.  On 
certain programmes (see the programme table) the drum also rotates periodically at the end of the drying cycle on.  This post crease 
care action continues until either the door is opened or the  OFF button is pressed.
Standby 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. Press and hold the ON/OFF  button until the dryer reactivates.

Special/Sport/Partial Programmes
Energy Saver Cycles
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, there is one you can use with cottons, there is one specially 
for shirts and there is one for use with synthetic fabrics. They have all been designed to \
guarantee excellent drying performance for 
small loads.
Energy Saver Cycles give the best drying results thanks to perfect temperature regulation and to accurate humidity detection which 
is optimized to obtain the best result on small load.
! The duration of this program will depend on the size of the load and the spin speed used in you\
r washer.
COTTON
Standard Cotton: Dries your items to a dryness level that allows you to put your clothe\
s away straight from the dryer.
Ready to Waer:  Dries your items to the maximum possible dryness level.  Even drier tha\
n Cupboard dry.
Cotton Hanger:  Dries your items to a dryness level that allows them to finish drying o\
n a hanger in order to minimise ironing.
Delicates  
 • This is a pr ogramme for drying your Delicate Clothes i.e. Acrylics.• It can be used for load sizes up to 2.0 kg.• Loads dried using this pr ogramme are usually ready to use, but on some garments may be slightly damp. If this is found try 
removing the load and open them out or turn inside out then run the programme again for a short period.
! The duration of this program will depend on the size of the load and the spin speed used in you\
r washer.
Wool Programme 
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. This programme lasts about 1:00 
(hrs:mins), although it may last longer depending on the size and dens\
ity of the load and on the spin speed used during the wash 
cycle. 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 additional 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 sha-
pe. This programme is not suited for acrylic items.

Jeans Programme  
This programme is suited for drying cotton denim jeans. Turn the front pockets inside out before drying the jeans. It is suitable for 
loads of up to 3 kg (about 4 pairs). 
Garments dried using this programme are usually ready to be worn, though edges and seams may be slightly damp. If this occurs, 
turn the jeans inside out and reactivate the programme for a short while.
! The duration of this program will depend on the size of the load and the spin speed used in you\
r washer.
Use this cycle for 100% cotton garments only; do not mix dark and light \
colours and avoid using this programme for garments with 
embroidery and accessories (elastic strings around the waist area, brooches, etc.); turn pockets inside out.
Special Shoes Programme 
This programme is specific for drying sports shoes. The shoes must have been pr\
eviously washed and spun at a minimum spin 
speed of  400 revolutions.
A specific shoe rack is provided and must be used, otherwise the dryer will be damaged if shoes ar\
e dried in the drum. Remove the 
filter from its holder on the front part of the dryer and position the shoe rack.
Place shoelaces inside the shoes then load with the tips of the shoes fa\
cing downwards and the soles frontwards.
Drying times vary according to the shape and type of the shoe. If the shoes are not completely dry at the end of the programme, 
restart the programme.
 Do not dry shoes that have gel or flashing lights inside them. Only dry\
 shoes made of synthetic material or rope. Once the program-
me ends, remove the shoe rack and replace the filter into its holder
Sportwear Programme 
This programme is studied for safely drying garments such as tracksuits and sweatshirts bearing the  symbol. Suitable for loads of 
up to  4 kg. We suggest turning garments inside out before drying them.
! The duration of this program will depend on the size of the load and the spin speed used in you\
r washer.
Sport Light Programme 
This programme is designed for safely drying garments such as Fitness suits and\
 shorts bearing the  symbol. It is ideal for those 
garments that do not need to be dried fully or which have to be ironed. We suggest turning garments inside out before drying them. 
! The duration of this program will depend on the size of the load and the spin speed used in you\
r washer
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.
! The duration of this program will depend on the size of the load and the spin speed used in you\
r washer.
Easy Iron 
A short 10-minute programme that relaxes the garment’s fibres in order to facilitate ironing and folding. 
This programme is particularly recommended for cotton or mixed cotton fabrics.
For optimal results, do not overload the drum (the following values refer to the weight of dry garments): 
Fabric: maximum load
Cotton and mixed cotton:  2.5 kg
Synthetic garments: 2 kg 
Jeans: 2 kg 
Empty the dryer as soon as the programme ends; hang, fold or iron garments then place them in the wardrobe. If this is not possi -
ble, repeat the programme.
 As this is not a drying programme, it is not to be used for garments that are still wet.
The effect produced by the programme varies according to the characteristics of the each fabric: fabrics such as acrylic \
fibres or 
Tencel
® do not give the same results as traditional fibres (e.g. cotton).
Refresh 
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.
