Usage Features
The tumble dryer offers a user-friendly control panel with a program selector, display panel, and various buttons for adjusting settings.
- Program Selection: Users can choose from a variety of programs, including "Algodón (Cottons)" with different dryness levels (Cupboard Dry Plus, Cupboard Dry, Iron Dry), "Sintéticos (Easy-Care)" (Cupboard Dry Plus, Cupboard Dry, Iron Dry), "Sport," "Toallas (Towels)," "Mix," "Programa temp. caliente (Time programme warm)," "Secado con cesto (Woollens in the basket)," "Camisas/Blusas (Shirts/Blouses)," "Rápido 40' (Rapid 40)," "Plumas (Down)," and "Delicado/Lencería (Delicates)."
- Adjustable Settings:
- Ajuste secado (Degree of dryness): Allows fine adjustment of dryness level in three stages (from to ).
- Duración (Drying time): For timed programs, adjustable between 20 minutes and 3 hours in 10-minute increments.
- Terminado en/em (Ready in): Delays the program start by 1 to 24 hours.
- Menos (Anti-crease): Moves laundry at regular intervals for 60 or 120 minutes after drying to prevent creasing.
- Delicado (Gentle Dry): Reduces temperature for delicate fabrics.
- 4)) (Signal): Activates/deactivates an audible signal at the end of the program.
- 3 seg (Childproof lock 3 sec.): Activates/deactivates the childproof lock by pressing and holding the "Ready in" and "Drying time" buttons simultaneously for 3 seconds.
- Inicio/Pausa+Carga (Start/Pause+Reload): Starts, pauses, or allows adding/removing laundry during a program.
- Basket for Woollens: An optional accessory (or supplied depending on the model) for drying delicate items like woollens, sports shoes, or soft toys without tumbling. Instructions are provided for proper placement and use.
- Energy Saving Mode: The dryer automatically switches off after a prolonged period of inactivity to save energy, both before a program starts and after it ends.
- Program Interruption: Laundry can be added or removed, and programs can be changed or cancelled at any time during drying. If cancelling, laundry must be removed immediately and spread out to dissipate heat.
Maintenance Features
Regular maintenance is crucial for the dryer's performance and longevity.
- Fluff Filter Cleaning: The two-part fluff filter must be cleaned after each drying cycle to maintain optimal airflow, prevent prolonged drying times, and reduce energy consumption. Instructions include removing fluff from the door and filter, rinsing the filter under warm water, and reinserting it.
- Condensate Container Emptying: If not connected to a drain hose, the condensate container must be emptied after each drying cycle or when full. The manual provides steps for pulling out, emptying, and reinserting the container.
- Condensate Container Filter Cleaning: The filter within the condensate container, which cleans water used in the automatic cleaning cycle, should be checked regularly for deposits and cleaned under warm running water or in a dishwasher.
- Moisture Sensor Cleaning: The stainless-steel moisture sensor should be cleaned regularly with a coarse sponge to remove limescale or detergent residues that can impair its function and drying results. Abrasives and steel wool should not be used.
- General Cleaning: The dryer and control panel should be cleaned with only water and a soft, damp cloth. Detergent residues, prewash sprays, or cleaning agents containing solvents should not be used, nor should high-pressure cleaners or steam jet cleaners.
- Automatic Heat Exchanger Cleaning: The dryer features an automatic heat exchanger cleaning function, indicated by "selfCleaning" on the display. This is not a fault and the condensation container should not be pulled out during this process.
The manual emphasizes safety warnings regarding electric shock, fire, explosions, poisoning, injury, and material damage. It also provides environmental protection guidelines, including proper disposal of packaging and the appliance, and details about the fluorinated greenhouse gas (R407C) used in the heat exchanger. Energy-saving tips are provided, such as spinning laundry before drying, loading the dryer to maximum capacity, and ensuring adequate ventilation.
