[. . . ] Save energy and respect the environment • Wring out all items to eliminate excess water before tumble drying (if you use a washing machine first, select a high spin cycle). € Always dry full loads - you save energy: single items or small loads take longer to dry. € Clean the filter after each use to contain energy consumption costs (see Maintenance). EN 5 Care and maintenance EN Disconnecting the power supply Cleaning the filter after each cycle !Disconnect the dryer when not in use or during cleaning and maintenance operations. Emptying the water container after each cycle 2 The filter is a fundamental component of the dryer: its function is to collect lint and fluff that form during drying. Clean the filter once drying is completed, by rinsing it under running water or cleaning it with a vacuum cleaner. Should the filter become clogged, the flow of air inside the dryer will be seriously hampered: drying times becomes loger and more energy is consumed. Do not use the dryer unless the filter has been replaced in its holder. Have the dryer checked regularly by authorised technical personnel in order to ensure that the electrical and mechanical parts work safely (see Assistance).

Open the door, ensure that the filter is clean and securely placed and that the water container is empty and correctly slotted (see Care and maintenance). Load the machine, making sure that no piece of laundry gets between the door and the relative seal. Turn the “Drying time selector” knob until the indicator is pointing towards the most suitable drying time for the type of fabric in that load. Use the table to check the relationship between fabric type and load capacity (see Drying settings), and make sure you are familiar with the instructions provided for each type of fabric (see Laundry). Laundry can be checked while the drying programme runs and any garments already dry can be removed, while drying continues for the remaining items. After closing the door, press the START button to resume machine operation.
