How to carry out  a drying cycle

Starting and selecting a programme

1.

 Plug the dryer into the power supply socket.

2.

 Select the programme according to the type of laundry 

(see Laundry).

3.

 Open the door, ensure that the filter is clean and securely placed and that the water container is empty and correctly 

 located 

(see 

Care and maintenance).

4.

 Load the machine, making sure that no piece of laundry gets between the door and the relative seal. Close the door.

5.

 After consulting the programme chart and the indications for each type of fabric (

see Laundry

), turn the Programme selection 

knob towards the programme corresponding to the type of laundry to be dried 

(see Programmes and options).

! 

Warning: If the position of the programme selection knob changes after pressing the START/PAUSE button, the selected program-

me will NOT be modified. To modify the programme, press the START/PAUSE button to put the programme in pause mode (the 

indicator light flashes orange), then select a new programme and the relative options. Press the START/PAUSE button to start the 

new programme.

6.

 If necessary, set the time of the delayed start and any other options 

(see Programmes and options).

7. 

Press the START/PAUSE button to start the drying cycle. 

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/PAUSE button to resume machine operation.

8.

 The final COOL TUMBLE phase (i.e. the fabrics are cooled) activates during the last few minutes of the drying programme; always 

allow this phase to terminate.

9.

 When the 

END 

indicator light turns on, the programme has ended. The buzzer will beep 3 times to let you know that your pro-

gramme is complete.  Open the door, remove the laundry then clean the filter and replace it. Empty the water container and put it 

back in its slot 

(see Care and maintenance).

If the clothes are not removed at the end of the cycle the automatic 

POST CREASE CARE

 action will, on those programmes with 

this feature,  continue to rotate the drum intermittently for up to 10 hours to minimise creasing. The phase is stopped when the door 

is opened or when the knob is set to OFF

10. 

Set the program knob to OFF to switch off the machine. 

11. 

Disconnect the dryer from the power supply.

Automatic pre-post Crease Care

This is an automatic function which provides an anti crease treatment both before and after the drying programme.  By periodically 

rotating the drum before the start of the drying cycle, when a delayed start is selected, the formation of creases is prevented.  On 

certain programmes the drum also rotates periodically at the end of the drying cycle.  The phase is stopped when the door is ope-

ned or when the knob is set to OFF.   

Stand-by mode

This tumble dryer, in compliance with new energy saving regulations, is fitted with an automatic standby system which is enabled 

after about 30 minutes if no activity is detected. 

Turn the knob to the desired program to restart dryer operation (to start the program press START/PAUSE). The OFF position 

switches off the dryer.
