Take it with you when you move, and should you sell this appliance or pass it on to another party, make sure that this booklet is supplied along with the dryer so that the new owner may be informed about warnings and suggestions on how the appliance works. Read these instructions carefully; the following pages contain important information on installation and suggestions on how the appliance works This symbol reminds you to read this booklet. For your Condenser dryer to operate efficiently, you must follow the regular maintenance schedule shown below: You MUST clean the fluff filter after EVERY drying cycle. [. . . ] After re-starting the dryer, the light will take a few seconds to go out. To avoid this always empty the water container each time you use the dryer (see Maintenance). These buttons are used to customise the selected programme to your requirements. Not all options are available for all programmes (see Start and Programmes). If an option is not available and you press the button, the buzzer will beep three times. If the option is available there will be one beep and the option light next to the button lights to confirm the selection. Progress Lights: Drying (Séchage), Cool Tumble (Refroidissement), End (Fin) / Delay Lights: (3hr, 6hr, 9hr) When the light next to the delay button is on, these lights flash to indicate the delay time selected. During other programmes they indicate the progress of the dryer, each one comes on as the corresponding phase starts. Time Delay (Départ Différé) The start of some programmes (see Start and Programmes) can be delayed for up to 9 hours in 3hr steps. When a delayed start is in progress the light next to the delay button will be on and the selected delay period light will flash (after the Start/Pause button (Départ/Pause) has been pressed). To set a delayed start, press the Time Delay button, and the light next to the button will come on together with the 3hr delay light. Pressing the button again will advance the delay setting to 6hr, the 3hr light goes out and the 6hr light is on. Articles that containing rubber or rubber-like materials or plastic film (pillows, cushions, or PVC rainwear), any other flammable articles or objects that contain flammable substances (towels soiled with hair spray). Glass fibres (certain types of draperies) Items which have been dry cleaned Items with the ITCL Code (see Special clothing items). Large bulky items (quilts, sleeping bags, pillows, cushions, large bedspreads etc). At the end of a drying cycle, cottons could still be damp if you grouped cottons and synthetics together. If this happens simply give them an additional short period of drying. Q Note: The last 10 minutes of any time set is the Cool Tumble, so allow for this when setting the time, as this period will not dry your laundry. Blankets and Bedspreads: acrylic items (Acilan, Courtelle, Orion, Dralon) must be dried with special care on LOW heat setting. Make sure that as much of the starch solution is removed from the load as possible before placing it in the dryer. Do not over-dry: the starch will become powdery and leave your clothing limp, which defeats the purpose of starch. Fabrics: items that are the same type of fabric but different textures and thicknesses may not have the same drying time. [. . . ] Q Periodically (every 6 months) vacuum the front air intake grille and vents at the rear of the dryer, to remove any build up of fluff, lint or dust. Also to remove accumulation of fluff from the front of the condenser and filter areas, clean occasionally with a vacuum cleaner. Your dryer uses special bearing components which do not need lubrication. Have your dryer checked regularly by authorised technicians to ensure electrical and mechanical safety (see Service). [. . . ]
