Cycle phase: Dry, Cool tumble, END

Alerts: Empty water tank, Clean door filter, Clean bottom filter. Refer to Troubleshooting section for: Failure call, After-sales Service.

First Time Use

Ensure the water tank is correctly inserted. The drain hose on the back of the dryer must be properly fixed, either to the dryer's water tank or to the domestic sewage system. The dryer must be installed in a room with a temperature ranging between 5°C and 35°C for proper operation. Before use, ensure the dryer has been in an upright position for at least 6 hours.

Daily Use

To keep your machine working at its best:

• Empty your water tank after each drying cycle.
• Clean your filters after each drying cycle. Refer to the Care & Maintenance section.

1. Plug the dryer into the power supply socket.
2. Open the door and load garments. Always refer to clothing labels and maximum load indications. Empty pockets. Ensure garments do not get caught between the door and/or door filter. Do not load dripping wet items. Do not tumble dry large, very bulky items. For optimal results, load garments one by one.
3. Close the door.
4. Press the "On/Off" button ⏻.
5. Select the most suitable programme for the fabric type.
6. Select options, if necessary.
7. Press the "Start/Pause" button ▶️ / ⏸️ to begin drying.
8. At the end of the cycle, a buzzer will sound and an indicator will light up. Turn the machine off by pressing the "On/Off" button ⏻, open the door, and pull clothing out immediately to prevent creases. If not switched off manually, the appliance turns off automatically after about fifteen minutes to save energy.

Note: Some programmes/options include a "Crease Care" system where the drum rotates periodically for several hours after the cycle ends to prevent creases. Some models may perform a final cool tumble phase, which can make fabrics feel less hot.

In case of power failure, press the "Start/Pause" button ▶️ / ⏸️ to restart the cycle.

Push & Go

This function starts a cycle immediately after switching the machine on, without needing to select further buttons or knobs. Follow points 1, 2, and 3 of Daily Use. To start, keep the Push & Go button ➡️ pressed. The light indicates the cycle has started. Suitable for cotton and synthetic textiles. Max load: 4 kg. (Cycle duration: 100'). If the door is opened during the cycle, close it and press "Start/Pause" ▶️ / ⏸️ to resume.

Opening the Door During the Cycle

The door can be opened at any time to check progress or remove dry garments. However, opening the door can extend drying time. For time and energy savings, it is recommended to keep the door closed. After closing the door, press "Start/Pause" ▶️ / ⏸️ within 15 minutes to resume.

Care Labels

Always check care labels. Common symbols:

• May be tumble dried. ✔️
• Do not tumble dry. ❌
• Tumble dry – high heat. ?
• Tumble dry – low heat. ?️

Programmes

Programme duration depends on load size, textile types, washing machine spin speed, and selected options. The display shows estimated remaining time.

Note on Options: If loads are consistently less or more dry than desired, adjust the dryness level using the specific option.

Use of Shoe Rack

Remove the door filter and place the shoe rack. Insert shoelaces into shoes, points downwards, soles forwards. Do not add other garments or shoes. Replace the door filter after drying.

Cleaning and Maintenance

WARNING: Unplug the dryer during cleaning and maintenance.

• Emptying the water tank: After each cycle (see Fig. A). Pull out, empty into a sink, and replace properly. Do not operate without the container in place.
• Cleaning the filters: Remove filters and clean lint by hand, cloth, or vacuum cleaner. Throw lint in the bin, not down the drain. Do not operate without filters in place.
• Cleaning the door filter: After each cycle (see Fig. B). Open door, pull filter upwards. Open filter, remove lint from all parts. Ensure no foreign objects are inside. Replace correctly, ensuring it is fully seated.
• Cleaning the bottom filter: When the relevant indicator turns on (see Fig. C). It is advisable to clean this filter after each cycle for optimal performance. Open bottom cover, pull filter out. Open rear side of filter, remove lint. Check filter chamber monthly. Clean accumulated lint on metal fins with a vacuum cleaner (use brush nozzle, vertical movements only to avoid damage). Avoid direct contact with fins (risk of cuts). Close filter rear side, replace, ensuring it is integrated, then lower filter handle. Close bottom cover.

Ensure the air intake is free. Filters are essential for collecting lint. Clogged filters affect airflow, increase drying times, energy consumption, and can damage the dryer. Improper filter cleaning may prevent the dryer from starting. Note: The filter indicator may remain on after cleaning; this is normal and will disappear when a new cycle starts.

Cleaning the Tumble Dryer: External metal, plastic, and rubber parts can be cleaned with a damp cloth. Clean the front air intake grille regularly (every 6 months) with a vacuum cleaner. Do not use solvents or abrasives.

Transport and Handling

Never lift the dryer by holding the worktop. 1. Unplug the dryer. 2. Remove all water from the water tank. 3. Ensure door and water tank are properly closed. 4. If the drain hose is connected to your drainage system, re-connect it to the back of the dryer.
