OPENING OF THE DOOR DURING THE CYCLE

Laundry can be checked while the drying cycle runs and any

garments already dry can be removed, while drying continues for

the remaining items. After closing the door, press the "Start/Pause"

button to resume machine operation.

Keep the door closed until the cycle end to save time and energy.

DAILY USE

Doing this will keep your machine working at its BEST:

- remember to empty your water tank after each drying cycle.

- remember to clean your lters 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 instructions on

clothing labels and the max loads indicated in the programme

section. Empty pockets. Make sure garments do not get caught

between the door and/or the door lter. Do not load items that

are dripping wet. Do not tumble dry large, very bulky items.

3. Close the door.

4. Press the "On/O" button.

5. Select the most suitable programme

for the type of fabric in that

load.

6. Select the options, if necessary.

7. Press the "

Start/Pause"

button to begin drying.

8. At the end of the drying cycle, a buzzer will beep. An indicator on

the control panel signals the end of the cycle. Pull the load out

immediately to prevent the formation of creases on laundry.

9. Turn the machine o by pressing the "On/O" button, open the

door and pull the clothing out. If the machine is not switched o

manually, after about a quarter of an hour from the end of the

cycle , the appliance turns o automatically to save energy.

Note that some programme/option accords with "Crease Care"

system. This means that for some hours, after the end of the

drying cycle, the drum rotates at regular intervals to prevent the

formation of creases.

In case of power failure, it is necessary to press the "Start/Pause"

button to restart the cycle.

the tumble dryer for the  rst time. Below are the most commonly
