This document serves as a comprehensive user manual for a tumble dryer, providing essential information on its function, usage, and maintenance. It begins by thanking the user for choosing the product and emphasizes the importance of reading and following the instructions for safe use, installation, and maintenance, as well as for achieving optimal drying results. The manual also highlights the inclusion of an instruction manual, guarantee card, and energy label with the appliance. Users are advised to inspect the machine for transit damage upon delivery and to contact customer service if any issues are found, noting that misuse or incorrect installation may incur service charges. For service inquiries, the unique 16-character serial number, found inside the door opening, is required.
The manual includes a section on environmental conditions, indicating that the appliance is marked according to European directive 2012/19/EU on Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE). It explains that WEEE contains both polluting substances and reusable components, stressing the importance of proper disposal and recycling. Users are encouraged to ensure WEEE is not treated as household waste but handed over to relevant collection points or returned to retailers when purchasing a new appliance of equivalent type.
The "General Safety Rules" section outlines critical precautions for operating the tumble dryer. It states that the appliance is intended for household and similar applications, such as staff kitchen areas, farm houses, hotels, motels, and bed and breakfast environments. Commercial use by expert or trained users is excluded, as inconsistent use may void the manufacturer's warranty and lead to damage. The appliance can be used by children aged 8 and above, and by persons with reduced physical, sensory, or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, if supervised and instructed on safe use. Children should not play with the appliance, and cleaning and user maintenance should not be performed by them without supervision. Children under 3 years old should be kept away unless continuously supervised. A warning highlights that misuse of a tumble dryer can create a fire hazard. The machine is solely for domestic use, for drying household textiles and garments. Users must ensure that installation and use instructions are fully understood before operation. It is crucial not to touch the appliance with damp or wet hands or feet, and not to lean on the door when loading or use it to lift or move the machine.
Further safety rules include discontinuing use if the machine appears faulty and not using it if industrial chemicals have been used for cleaning. The final part of a tumble dryer cycle involves a cool-down period without heat to prevent damage to items. A warning emphasizes not using the product if the fluff filter is not in position or is damaged, as fluff could ignite. Lint and fluff must not accumulate around the machine. A hot surface symbol indicates that the temperature rise during operation may exceed 60 degrees C. Users must always remove the plug before cleaning and allow the dryer to complete its cool-down period before removing laundry, as the drum can be very hot.
For installation, the manual advises against installing the product in low-temperature rooms or where there is a risk of frost, as freezing water in the hydraulic circuit can cause damage. The ambient room temperature should be between 5-35°C for optimal performance, noting that colder conditions may cause water condensation. If the dryer is installed on top of a washing machine, a suitable stacking kit (standard, slim, or universal with sliding) must be used, obtainable from service. The dryer should never be installed near curtains or behind a lockable door, sliding door, or a door hinged on the opposite side that restricts full opening. Correct installation is crucial for safety, and service should be contacted if there are any doubts.
Electrical connections and safety instructions state that technical details (supply voltage and power input) are on the product rating plate. The electrical system must be earthed, comply with applicable law, and the socket must be compatible with the appliance's plug; otherwise, professional assistance should be sought. The appliance must not be supplied through an external switching device or connected to a circuit regularly switched on and off by a utility.
Ventilation guidelines include ensuring adequate ventilation in the room to prevent gases from other fuel-burning appliances from being drawn into the room. The rear of the appliance should be installed close to a wall or vertical surface, with a gap of at least 12 mm between the machine and obstructions. Air inlet and outlet must be kept clear. Carpets or rugs should not obstruct ventilation openings. The fluff filter must be checked and cleaned frequently.
Regarding laundry, users should always refer to care labels for drying suitability. Fabric softeners or similar products should be used as specified by their instructions. Unwashed, dripping wet, or items treated with dry cleaning fluids should not be tumble dried. Clothes should be spin-dried or thoroughly wrung before drying. Foam rubber materials, latex foam, shower caps, waterproof textiles, rubber-backed articles, or pillows with foam rubber pads must not be dried due to fire risk. Glass fibre curtains should never be put in the machine, as skin irritation can occur if other garments are contaminated. Items soiled with substances like cooking oil, acetone, alcohol, petrol, kerosene, spot removers, turpentine, waxes, and wax removers should be washed in hot water with extra detergent before drying. All objects, especially lighters and matches, must be removed from pockets, and flammable liquids should never be used near the machine. Maximum load drying weight can be found on the energy label, and product technical specifications are available on the manufacturer's website.
The "Drain Hose Kit" section explains how to connect the dryer to a waste water drain pipe to avoid manually emptying the water container. Water Bye-Laws prohibit connection to a surface water drain. The kit includes one hose and one bung. A warning advises switching off and unplugging the dryer before any work. The hose must be connected to a drain system with a maximum height of 85 cm from the dryer's base. Instructions detail how to disconnect the existing hose, close the extracted tube with the supplied cap, and securely connect the new hose. After placement, ensure the new hose does not kink.
The "Water Containers" section describes how water removed from laundry is collected. An indicator light or display message will prompt emptying the container, which is recommended after each drying cycle. Little water collects initially as an internal reservoir fills. Instructions are provided for removing the container tank from the door drawer (weighing about 6 kg when full) and the bottom water drawer (weighing about 4 kg when full). Both procedures involve gently pulling out the container, emptying it, and replacing it securely. For models with a drain hose kit, permanent drainage can be set up to eliminate the need for manual emptying.
The "Door, Filter and Condenser" section covers maintenance. To open the door, pull the handle. To restart after opening, close the door and press the program start button. A warning notes that the drum and door can be very hot during use, and extreme caution is needed if opening mid-cycle to empty the water reservoir. If laundry isn't drying, check the filter. If cleaning the filter with water, remember to dry it. The filter must be cleaned before every cycle, and the dryer should not be used without filters. Instructions for cleaning the lint filter involve pulling it upwards, opening it, gently removing lint with fingertips, a soft brush, a cloth, or under running water, then snapping it back into place. Clogged filters increase drying time and can cause damage. The filter cleaning indicator light illuminates when cleaning is needed. For the condenser, instructions include removing the kickplate, turning locking levers clockwise, pulling out the condenser unit, gently removing dust or fluff with a cloth, washing it under running water, refitting it correctly, locking the levers anti-clockwise, and refitting the kickplate.
"Practical Hints" offers advice for first-time use, including reading the manual thoroughly, removing all packed items, and wiping the drum and door with a damp cloth. Regular cleaning of the filter and condenser is recommended. After each use, wipe the inside of the drum and leave the door open to allow air circulation. Wipe the outside of the machine and door with a soft cloth, avoiding abrasive pads or cleaning agents. Clean the inner door and gasket with a damp cloth after every drying cycle to prevent sticking or fluff buildup.
For clothes preparation, ensure laundry is suitable for tumble drying by checking care symbols, closing fastenings, emptying pockets, and turning articles inside out. Do not tumble dry silk, nylon stockings, delicate embroidery, metallic decorations, or garments with PVC or leather trimmings. A warning reiterates not to dry articles treated with dry cleaning fluid or rubber clothes due to fire/explosion risk. The last 15 minutes of a cycle always involve cool air tumbling. For energy saving, only put thoroughly wrung or spin-dried laundry into the dryer, as drier laundry reduces drying time and electricity consumption.
Sorting laundry by care symbols (suitable for tumble drying, high temperature, low temperature only, or do not tumble dry) is advised. If no label, assume not suitable. Sort by amount and thickness, separating clothes if the load exceeds dryer capacity. Sort by fabric type: cottons/linen (towels, cotton jersey, bed/table linen) and synthetics (blouses, shirts, overalls, polyester, polyamid, cotton/synthetic mixes). A warning cautions against overloading the drum, especially with large, wet items like sleeping bags or duvets.
The "Quick User Guide" provides a step-by-step process: open the door, load laundry, close the door, select a drying program with the Programme Selector dial, and press the start button. If the door is opened mid-cycle, press start again after closing. The machine enters a cool-down phase near completion, tumbling clothes in cool air. After the cycle, the drum rotates intermittently to minimize creasing until switched OFF or the door is opened. Do not open the door during automatic programs for proper drying. Technical data on power input, supply voltage, maximum load, and energy class are found on the rating plate and energy label.
"Controls and Programmes" details the various buttons and their functions. The Programme Selector with OFF position allows selecting the desired drying program by rotating the dial in both directions. To cancel selections or switch off, turn the selector to OFF and unplug. The START/PAUSE button starts the selected cycle; pressing it for 2 seconds pauses the machine. To modify a program, press desired options, then START/PAUSE. Only compatible options can be selected. After switching on, wait a few seconds for the program to start. Program duration, shown on the display, varies with selected options and is corrected based on load humidity. "END" appears when the program finishes. The selector must always be in OFF at the end of a cycle before selecting a new one. If power is lost, pressing START/PAUSE restarts from the point of interruption.
The DELAY START button allows delaying the program start from 30 minutes (or 1 hour on some models) up to 24 hours, shown on the display. The time decreases minute by minute after pressing START/PAUSE. If the porthole is opened with delay start set, press start again after re-closing to resume counting. Delay start cannot be memorized. The TIME CYCLE SELECTION button transforms an automatic cycle to a programmed one, increasing time in 10-minute intervals. To reset to automatic drying, switch off the dryer. Incompatible selections cause indicator lights to flash quickly. The MEMO button stores options: select program and options, press MEMO for 3 seconds (before starting) to set. To recall, select the cycle and press MEMO.
The DRYING SELECTION button sets the desired dryness level: Ready to Iron (slightly wet), Dry Hanger (ready to hang), Dry Wardrobe (ready for storage), and Extra-dry (completely dry). The appliance has a Drying Manager function, indicating intermediate drying levels by flashing lights. Incompatible selections cause indicator lights to flash quickly. The SUPER EASY IRON button sets alternate drum movements to reduce folds, automatically setting the drying level to "Ready to Iron." It also activates anti-crease movement before and after the cycle, useful when laundry cannot be removed immediately. To stop movements, set the program selector to OFF.
CHILD LOCK is activated by pressing "C" and "F" simultaneously for 2 seconds, locking keys to prevent accidental changes. It can be cancelled by pressing the buttons again. If the porthole is opened with CHILD LOCK active, the cycle stops but the lock remains; remove the lock and press START/PAUSE to restart. CHILD LOCK can be modified anytime. The display shows remaining drying time, postponed time, and other notifications. DRYING SELECTION INDICATOR LIGHTS show selected dryness degrees. WATER CONTAINER INDICATOR LIGHT illuminates when the condensate tank needs emptying. FILTER CLEANING INDICATOR LIGHT illuminates when the filter needs cleaning. The Wi-Fi INDICATOR LIGHT (on equipped models) shows connection status: FIXED ON for remote control enabled, SLOW FLASHING for disabled, QUICK FLASHING then OFF for connection issues or no association, SLOW BLINKING then OFF for Wi-Fi network reset, and ON for 1 second then OFF for 3 seconds if the door is open (remote control disabled). For Wi-Fi configuration, refer to go.he.services/ctd-3d.
"Drying Guide" explains that the standard COTTON DRY cycle is the most energy-efficient. A table shows approximate time and energy consumption for main programs. Maximum drying weights are specified: Max. capacity declared for Cottons, and Max. 4 kg for Synthetics or Delicates. Power consumption for off-mode is 0.40 W, and for left-on mode is 0.75 W. Information for Test Laboratory (EN 61121) lists programs like STANDARD DRY COTTON, IRON DRY COTTON (WHITES - Ready to Iron), and EASY-CARE TEXTILE (SYNTHETICS - Dry Hanger). Warnings remind users to clean the filter before every cycle and note that drying cycle duration depends on laundry humidity, spin speed, load type, filter cleanliness, and ambient temperature. For 10 kg capacity dryers with a drain hose kit, connecting the drain hose for condenser water recovery is advised.
"Description of programmes" details various cycles: REMOTE CONTROL (Wi-Fi) for app control, ECO COTTON for energy-efficient drying of cottons/linens, WHITES for cottons, sponges, and towels, JEANS for uniform drying of denim (flip garments before drying), DARKS & COLOURED for delicate drying of dark/coloured cottons/synthetics, SYNTHETICS for accurate treatment of synthetic fabrics, SHIRTS for minimizing tangles and folds (remove linens immediately after drying), WOOLMARK for machine washable wool products (up to 1 kg, reverse clothes before drying, unload at cycle end; not for acrylics), DAILY PERFECT 59' for rapid drying of medium loads (spin at high speed), DAILY 45' for timed rapid drying of daily clothes (spin at high speed), SAVING 30' for small loads (spin at high speed), REFRESH for removing smells and smoothing creases, RELAX for warm cycle to relax folds and creases, SPORT PLUS for gentle drying of technical garments, and SMALL for even drying of extremely small loads.
"Troubleshooting and Warranty" provides a checklist for common issues before calling service. It notes that time display may change during drying. Solutions for "Drying time is too long/clothes are not dry enough" include checking selected program, clothes wetness, filter cleanliness, and dryer overload. For "The dryer does not operate," check electricity supply, plug connection, power failure, blown fuse, and door closure. For a noisy dryer, switch off and contact service. If the filter cleaning indicator light is on, clean the filter. If the water container indicator light is on, empty it. Customer Service should be contacted if problems persist after checks; a charge may apply if the machine is working, incorrectly installed, or misused. Genuine spares are available directly from service.
The manual concludes with "Service" information, recommending authorized service engineers for repairs. The product is guaranteed under terms on the included certificate, which should be stored. Warranty conditions are also available on the website. To dispose of an old dryer, disconnect the plug, cut the power cable, and destroy it with the plug. Break door hinges or the lock to prevent children from getting trapped. The manufacturer declines responsibility for printing errors and reserves the right to make product changes without altering essential characteristics.
