More Troubleshooting

General Safety

Repairs to the dryer must be carried out only by qualified personnel. Repairs carried out by inexperienced persons could cause serious danger. Never start the appliance if the electrical supply cable is damaged or if the control panel or worktop are so damaged that inner components can be reached.

Energy Efficiency

The dryer is more economical when fully loaded. It is important to select the correct drying program suited to the type and quantity of laundry, as this ensures the dryer works more efficiently.

Installation Guidelines

The dryer should not be installed in a room where the temperature can fall below zero or exceed +35°C. It must be positioned horizontally and not on a thick pile carpet to allow air circulation. If installed near a heater, an insulating non-flammable panel must be inserted between the dryer and the heater.

Environmental Tips

To protect the environment, avoid using fabric softeners during washing as machine dried laundry remains soft without them. Dispose of packaging materials correctly as they are environmentally friendly. For proper disposal of the appliance, contact the local collection body.

Drying Programs

The HALF HEAT button is for gentle drying of delicate cottons, while the FRESH & COOL button is for gentle drying of delicate fabrics. The drying time can be selected with the programme selector, which offers different settings for cottons and synthetics.

Maintenance

The fluff filter must be cleaned after each drying cycle to ensure free circulation of air during the drying process. Use a damp cloth to clean the filter before removing the laundry.

Child Safety

Children are often unaware of the dangers posed by electrical appliances. It is important to ensure that they do not play with the dryer.
