Installation

This appliance is heavy. Care should be taken
when moving it.

It is dangerous to alter the specifications or
attempt to modify this product in any way.

Any electrical work required to install this
appliance should be carried out by a qualified
electrician or competent person.

Care must be taken to ensure that the appliance
does not stand on the electrical supply cable.

 If the machine is situated on a carpeted floor,
please adjust the feet in order to allow air to
circulate freely.

If the tumble dryer is placed on top of a washing
machine, it is compulsory to use the stacking kit
(optional accessory).

This tumble dryer is designed to be vented
through to the open air. It should have its own
ventilation system which should not be joined
with any other ventilation system connected to
any other appliance. 
Child Safety

This appliance is designed to be operated by
adults. Children should not be allowed to tamper
with the controls or play with the product.

Pets and children have been known to climb into
tumble dryers. Please check your drum before
use.

Keep all packaging well away for children.
Use

Do not overload the appliance (see programme
chart).

Clothes which are dripping wet should not be
placed in the dryer.

As some bulky items such as duvets and 
eiderdowns should be dried in large commercial
machines because of their bulk, check with the
manufacturer of the item if it is suitable for drying
in a domestic machine, even if the dry weight of
the item is within the limit advised.

Please make sure that no gas lighters have
accidentally been left in pockets of garments to be
loaded into appliance.

Danger of explosion: Never tumble dry items
that have been in contact with inflammable
solvents (petrol, methylated spirits, dry cleaning
fluid and the like). As these substance are volatile,
they could cause an explosion. Tumble dry only
items washed with water.

In order to avoid danger of fires caused by
excessive drying, do not use appliance to dry the
following items:

Cushions, quilts and the like (these items
accumulate heat).

Items containing rubber foam or materials similar
to rubber foam.

Leave the door slightly ajar when the appliance is
not being used. This will allow the seal to be
preserved.

Clean fluff filter after using tumble dryer. To
prevent fire risks, do not use the appliance if the
fluff filter is damaged.

Under no circumstances should you attempt to
repair the machine yourself. Repairs carried out
by inexperienced persons may cause injury or
serious malfunctioning. Contact your local
Zanussi Service Centre. Always insist on genuine
Zanussi spare parts.

This tumble dryer will give your wash that soft, relaxed feel whatever
the weather.

manufacturing guarantee a long service life for your appliance.
Maximum economy in the operation of your dryer is achieved through
very frugal electricity consumption and short drying times.
Your New Tumble Dryer
In the interest 
of the environment

Materials marked with the symbol  are
recyclable. 

Check with your local Council or Environmental
Health Office to see if there are facilities in your
area for re-cycling this appliance.

When the appliance is to be scrapped, cut off the
power supply cable and make the door closing
device unusable to prevent young children from
being trapped inside.

Help to keep your country tidy - use authorised
disposal sites for your old appliance. 
How do we help to protect the
environment? We use recycled paper!
Energy saving tips
To save energy we recommend that you follow these
hints:

Try to load the maximum capacity of the machine
as small loads are uneconomical.

Always load well spun laundry. The higher the
spin speed, the lower the electricity consumption
and the shorter the drying times.

Do not over-dry laundry, this avoids creasing and
saves energy.

Clean the filter regularly to avoid excessive
drying times and high electricity consumption.

Ventilate the room well. The room temperature
should not exceed +35°C during drying.

The Control Panel
1 Programme Chart
This will help you to select the correct time for
drying.
2 Low Temperature Button 
Press this button to reduce the temperature when
drying particularly delicate cotton or linen items.
In this case you should select a longer drying time.
On the programmes for synthetics the temperature is
automatically reduced.
Therefore it is not necessary to depress this button.
3 Cool Button 
By depressing this button the heat is cut off. This is
particularly useful to freshen the laundry (e.g. to
remove a persistent odour of moth-balls). Select 20-
30 mins max.
4 Mains-On Light
This lights up when the machine starts operating and
goes out at the end of the programme.
5 Drying Time Selector Dial /
ON-OFF Switch 
The selector dial incorporates two drying cycles, one
of up to 120 minutes at a high temperature for cotton
and linen, and one of up to 80 minutes at a low
temperature for synthetic fabrics.
To set the machine to the selected time, turn the dial
clockwiseuntil the time you want coincides exactly
with the pointer.
NEVERattempt to turn the dial in an anticlockwise
direction.
When selecting the drying time, you should
remember that it includes a 8 minute cooling phase
(position  on the dial).
This phase should not be shortened, stopped or
avoided, as this could cause skin burns or damages to
the laundry.

Drying times are given as a guide only. Experience will soon enable you to estimate the drying time needed for
your usual laundry loads.
Do not start by selecting a long drying time. It is better to determine the required degree of dryness by gradually
increasing the drying time.
For a mixed load (cotton and synthetics, for example) select the time for the most delicate fibres and increase it
by 10 mins.

							9 Before placing articles of laundry in your tumble
dryer, check the care labels to ensure they are
recommended for tumble drying.
Care Labels you may find on your laundry
normal drying (high temperature)
delicate drying (low temperature)
do not tumble dry
may be tumble dried
Do not overload the appliance.
Here is a list of the approximate weight of some
common laundry items.
Sheet 700 to 1000 g 
Pillowcase 100 to 200 g
Tablecloth 400 to 500 g
Table Napkin 50 to 100 g
Kitchen Towel 70 to 120 g
Linen Hand Towel 100 to 150 g
Hand Towel 150 to 250 g
Bath Towel 700 to 1000 g
Bathrobe 1000 to 1500 g
Shirt 200 to 300 g
Apron 150 to 200 g

Always load well spun laundry. The higher the
spin speed the lower the electricity consumption
and the shorter the drying time.

DO NOT load dripping wet laundry into the
dryer. Roll the article in a towel or spin to remove
excess water.

Close poppers and zips and fasten any buttons.

Sort the laundry. Separate synthetics from
cotton/linens, and dry separately. 

Remove the laundry immediately after the
programme has finished.

Use a fabric conditioning sheet to reduce static.
We recommend the sheet is pinned to an article of
laundry (using a safety pin).

Mix the load i.e. large and small articles.

When drying large items such as sheets, we
recommend you periodically stop the dryer to
redistribute the load.
DO NOT use the tumble dryer to dry the
following:

Articles contaminated with inflammable
substances e.g. petrol, cleaning solvents, cooking
oil, fats or hair lacquer.

Woollen and synthetic/wool mixtures unless the
item is labelled as suitable for tumble drying.

Very delicate articles such as silk.

Very large and bulky items such as duvets or
sleeping bags.

							10 You must disconnectthe appliance from the
electricity supply, before you can carry out any
cleaning or maintenance work.
External cleaning
Use only soap and water and then dry thoroughly.
From time to time, apply a little wax furniture cream
with a soft cloth.
Important:do not use methylated spirit, diluents or
similar products.
Cleaning the door
Clean periodically the interior part of the door to
remove any fluff.
Accurate cleaning ensures correct drying.
Cleaning the filter
Your dryer will only function well if the filter is
clean.
The filter collects all the fluff which accumulates
during drying and it must therefore be cleaned at the
end of each programme, before removing the
laundry, with a damp cloth.

	
Maintenance and Cleaning
The filter cannot be removed.
Do not be alarmed by the amount of fluff. It is not
due to excessive wear caused by the dryer. All fabric
looses fluff when drying but it goes un-noticed in the
air. In a tumble dryer it simply collects in the filter.
