1) The maximum weight refers to dry items.
2) For fabric mark meaning see chapter HINTS AND TIPS: Preparing the laundry.
3) The Cotton Cupboard Dry ECO programme is the "Standard cotton programme" according to
UK Ecodesign and Energy Labelling Regulations. It is suitable for drying normal wet cotton laundry and it is the most efficient programme in terms of energy consumption for drying wet cotton laundry.
This option is applicable only to the Time Dry programme. You can set the programme duration, from a minimum of 10 minutes to a maximum of 2 hours. The setting of the duration is related to the quantity of laundry in the appliance.
We recommend that you set a short duration for small quantities of laundry or for only one item.
Extends up to 90 minutes the anticrease phase (30 minutes) at the end of the drying cycle. After drying phase drum rotates time to time what prevents the clothes from creases. Laundry can be removed during the anti-crease phase.
To dry more lightly the sensitive and temperature sensitive textiles (e.g. acrylic, viscose). This function helps also to decrease the creases on the laundry.
For fabrics with the symbol on the fabric label.

1) Together with the programme you can set 1 or more options. To activate or deactivate them, press the related touch button.
This option prevents children to play with the appliance while a programme operates. The programme knob and the touchpads are locked.
Only OFF switch is unlocked.
Activating the child lock option:
It is possible to deactivate the child lock option while a programme operates. Press and hold the same touchpads until the child lock indicator goes off.
To change the default degree of the remaining moisture of the laundry:
To deactivate or activate the acoustic signals, press and hold for approximately 2 seconds touch buttons (B) and (C) at the same time.
Rear drum locks are removed automatically when dryer is activated for the first time. Possible to hear some noise.
It is highly recommended to start any programme for the first time without the load for a few seconds to ensure that the rear drum locks are removed properly.
To unlock the rear drum locks:
If the drum still does not rotate, please release the rear drum locks manually (to do that, please use provided key).
Before you use the appliance to dry items:
At the beginning of the drying cycle (first 3-5 min) there could be a slightly higher sound level. This is due to the compressor starting up. This is normal for compressor powered appliances such as refrigerators and freezers.
The appliance is tightly packed. After product unpacking you can feel an unusual smell. This is normal for brand new products.
Appliance is built of several different types of material which all together can generate unusual smell.
Over usage time, after few drying cycles unusual smell gradually disappears.
Different noises may be heard at different times during the drying cycle. They are perfectly normal operating sounds.
Working compressor.
Rotating drum.
Working fans.
Working pump and transferring condensation to the tank.
When the programme is completed:
The appliance continues to operate with the crease guard phase for approximately other 30 minutes. The crease guard phase prevents creases from your laundry.
You can remove the laundry before the crease guard phase is completed. We recommend, for better results, that you remove the laundry when the phase is almost completed.
When the crease guard phase is completed:
Possible causes of unsatisfactory drying results:
Always clean the filter and empty the water container when a programme is completed.
To decrease the energy consumption, this function automatically deactivates the appliance:
Very often the clothes after washing cycle are kneaded and tangled altogether.
Drying kneaded and tangled clothes is inefficient.
To assure proper air flow and even drying it is recommended to shake and load one by one the clothes to the tumble dryer.
To assure proper drying process:
Fabric label | Description |
Laundry is suitable for tumble drying. | |
Laundry is suitable for tumble drying at higher temperatures. | |
Laundry is suitable for tumble drying at low temperatures only. | |
Laundry is not suitable for tumble drying. |
Avoid the use of water to clean the filter. Instead throw away lint in the dustbin ( avoid dispersion of plastic fiber in water ambient).
To achieve the best drying performances clean the filter regularly, clogged filter lead to longer cycles and energy consumption increase. Use your hand to clean the filter, and if necessary, a vacuum cleaner.
You can use the water from the water container as an alternative to distilled water (e.g. for steam ironing). Before you use the water, remove dirt residues with a filter.
Do not touch the metal surface with bare hands. Risk of injury. Wear protective gloves. Clean carefully to avoid damaging the metal surface.
Risk of humidity sensor damage. Do not use abrasive materials or steel wool to clean the sensor.
To assure best drying results the appliance is equipped with metal humidity sensor. It is placed on the inner side of the door area. Over usage time the surface of the sensor may get dirty what deteriorates the drying performance.
We recommend to clean the sensor at least 3 or 4 times or if you observe the drop of drying performance.
To clean you can use harder side of dish-washing sponge and bit of vinegar or dish soap.
To clean the sensor:
Disconnect the appliance before you clean it.
Use a standard neutral soap detergent to clean the inner surface of the drum and drum lifters. Dry the cleaned surfaces with a soft cloth.
Do not use abrasive materials or steel wool to clean the drum.
Use a standard neutral soap detergent to clean the control panel and housing.
Use a moist cloth to clean. Dry the cleaned surfaces with a soft cloth.
Do not use furniture cleaning agents or cleaning agents which can cause corrosion.
Use a vacuum cleaner to remove fluff from the airflow slots.
Refer to Safety chapters.
The appliance does not start or it stops during operation.
First try to find a solution to the problem (refer to the table). If the problem persists, contact the Authorised Service Centre.
Deactivate the appliance before carrying out any check.
In case of major problems, the acoustic signals operate, the display shows an error code and the Start/Pause button may flash continuously:
Error code | Possible cause | Remedy |
E5A | Appliance motor overloaded. Too much laundry or entrap in the drum. | The programme was not completed. Remove the laundry from the drum, set the programme and restart the cycle. |
E97 | Internal fail. No communication between electronic elements of the appliance. | The programme was not finished properly or the appliance stoped too early. Switch the appliance off and on again. If the error code appears again, contact the Authorised Service Centre. |
EH0 | The mains supply is unstable. | When the appliance is showing EH0, please wait until main supply is stable than press start. If the appliance pause the cycle without any indication then press the cycle start. If the warning will occur check the power cord / socket integrity or main supply. |
If the display shows other error codes, deactivate and activate the appliance. If the problem continues, contact the Authorised Service Centre.
In case of different problem with the tumble dryer check the table below for possible solutions.
