1. Water container
When the tumble dryer is being used, condensation is
collected in a special container. To empty container,
please refer to 'Cleaning' chapter.
Important: If the water container fills up completely
during the drying cycle, the relevant light lights up
indicating that the container has to be emptied. The
drying time selector dial continues to turn towards the
"O" position, but the drying cycle is stopped, that
means that the laundry is not dried. After having
emptied the container, you have to select the drying
programme again for the time required to complete
drying.
Attention: After this operation, the dryer can stay still
for some minutes before starting the programme and
during this period the water container light remains
alight.

5. Start button

Select desired drying time and press start button: the
appliance will start drying.
ATTENTION! The door must be closed.
6. "Water container full" light
This light lights up when the water container is full or

7. Drying time selector dial

Select desired drying time by turning dial clockwise
(to the right).
ATTENTION! In order to avoid causing damage to
mechanism, do not turn the dial anti-clockwise.
There are two drying programmes to choose from:
Linen - Cotton - (2000 W), 20 - 150 minutes
Synthetics - (1400 W), 20 - 100 minutes
Drying times vary according to the particular type of
fabric, quantity of laundry and drying level (see
programme chart).
Cooling
Drying programmes end with a ten minute cooling
phase. This ten minute period is calculated as part of
the overall selected drying time. During the cooling
phase, the appliance's heating elements are switched
off and the laundry is cooled before the tumble dryer
stops automatically in position '0' (end of drying
cycle). Do not shorten or interrupt the cooling phase.
Leaving warm laundry inside the drum will cause
creasing and in some cases permanent damage.

8. Mains-on light

The mains-on light lights up at the start of the drying
cycle. It switches off at the end of selected drying
time.
