1 / FOR THE USER’S ATTENTION
— Substances contained in soiling such as oil, acetone, alcohol, petrol, kerosene, stain removers,
turpentine or wax must be removed before drying in your machine (by using an adapted warm water
washing programme with additional detergent for example).
— Precautions for using stain-removing products : any preliminary treatment by solvent, stain-remo-
ver, aerosol, such as acetone, alcohol, gasoline, kerosene, térébentine is prohibited because these
products are very inflammable. If your laundry requires this type of treatment, this must be done
before washing. Similarly, we recommend that you do not use these products near to the dryer or,
in general, near any electrical appliance in a poorly ventilated room in order to avoid any risk of an
explosion.
— If any incidents occur, which you cannot resolve using the troubleshooting advice we provide (see
“TROUBLESHOOTING”), contact our Technical Service Center.
— Before disposing of your worn-out appliance, make it unusable. Unplug and cut off the power
cable flush with the appliance and make the door lock inoperable.
— For your safety’s sake, if you wish to change your appliance’s power cable, contact a qualified
electrician.
— If any operating anomalies occur, disconnect your appliance and call our Technical Service
Center.
•ENERGY SAVINGS
— Spin your textiles at high speeds ; the residual dampness will be low, as will your energy
consumption. Even synthetic textiles must be spun before drying.
— Place the maximum load in your machine ; this will optimize the energy used. When doing so,
comply with the indications on volume provided in this instruction manual.
— The drying time and the energy consumption are both increased by a high ambient temperature
and too small a room.
— Clean the filter after each drying cycle.
— Clean the condenser twice a month.
