Assistance and Guarantee, 11-12-13 Spare parts Read these instructions carefully: the following pages contain important information on installation and useful suggestions for operating the appliance. 1 Installation EN 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 15 mm 15 mm of the machine and the walls or furniture units adjacent to it. Make sure the air inlets on the rear panel are not blocked or obstructed. [. . . ] 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. All fabrics contain natural dampness which helps to keep them soft and fluffy. Drying programmes and options Refresh A short programme suitable for refreshing fibres and garments through the emission of cool air. As this is not a drying programme, it is not to be used for garments that are still wet. When the button is out low heat is selected and when it is pushed in high heat is selected 6 Laundry Sorting laundry Check the symbols on the care labels of the various garments to verify whether the garments can be safely tumble dried. Close zips and hooks and fasten belts and strings without tightening them. Do not over-dry: starch turns powdery leaving garments limp this defeats its purpose. When mixing synthetic fibres with cotton garments, the latter may still be damp at the end of the drying cycle. Note: when setting the duration of the drying cycle, remember that the cold drying phase runs during the last 10 minutes, during which the dryer does not dry the garments. 7 Warnings and suggestions This appliance was designed and manufactured in EN compliance with current international safety standards.
