particles.

Exhaust air must not be discharged into a flue which is

used for exhausting fumes from appliances burning gas
or other fuels.

The air where the dryer is installed, should be well

ventilated to prevent feedback of gases released from
the gas appliances with open fire (e.g. fireplace).

Final drying cycle includes cooling; be careful not to

extract excessively hot laundry from the drum.

Clean the filters after each drying cycle. If you have

removed the filters, replace them before the next
drying cycle.

After each cleaning insert the condenser back into

the air duct. Operation of the appliance without
condenser, or with damaged condenser is extremely
dangerous and may cause fire.

Always switch off the dryer after use (the program

selector switch should be in the "OFF" position) and
unplug the power cord from the wall outlet (to prevent
the hazard of lightning or voltage overload).

 INSTALLATION AND
CONNECTION
SELECTING THE ROOM

10 cm

5 cm 10 cm

Ventilation slots and the opening on the front and rear side should always be kept free.

Do not install the appliance in a room where there is danger of frost.

The room in which the appliance is installed should be adequately ventilated, with
temperature between 10°C and 25°C. When the dryer is operated at a lower ambient
temperature, condensate can accumulate in the appliance interior.Frozen water in the
condensate tank or pump may damage the dryer.

The surrounding illumination in the installation room should be adequate to read the front
panel properly.

When installing the dryer in a room, note the required clearance as indicated in the image.
In case of failure to heed the required minimum clearance, the dryer may overheat.
401681

14
POSITIONING THE APPLIANCE

4X

Positioning the appliance on top of the washing machine by using the vacuum feets or
side by side.

Dryer can be stand freely on the floor or on a washing machine of the same dimensions
– minimum width 517 mm, minimum depth 476 mm. The surface on which the dryer is
placed should be clean and level.

Use the vacuum feet attached; they are designed to prevent the dryer from sliding.
(Vacuum feet are attached or can be purchased (depending on model))

Washing machine on which you wish to install the dryer must be able to bear the weight
of the dryer (see washing machine's rating plate or technical information).
401681

15
 Do not place the dryer behind lockable or sliding door or door
with a hinge opposite the dryer. Install the dryer in such way
that the door can always be freely opened.

Never block the cool air opening (see dryer description).

Drying machine on top should be placed by at least two

persons.

Do not place the dryer on a carpet with long fibres as this may
impede air circulation.

The appliance may not be in contact with a wall or adjacent

furniture.
401681

16
INSTALLATION

Level the dryer in

longitudinal and
traverse direction
by rotating the
adjustable feet
which allow levelling
by +/- 1 cm. Use
key nr. 22 and spirit
level.

Floor on which the machine is placed must have a concrete

base. They must be clean and dry; otherwise, the machine may
slide. Also clean the adjustable feet.

The appliance must stand level and stable on a solid base.

Vibrations, moving of the appliance across the room, or loud

operation due to improperly adjusted feet are not covered by
the warranty.

Sometimes, unusual or loud noise may appear during

appliance operation; these are mostly the result of improper
installation.
401681

17
 CONDENSATE DISCHARGE
The moisture from the laundry is extracted in the condenser unit
and accumulated in the condensate tank.

During the drying process, a control light will warm you of a full
condensate tank which has to be emptied.

Interruption of the drying cycle due to full condensate tank can be

avoided by running the condensate discharge tube found at the
back of the appliance directly into a drain.

1 Pull the tube to

remove it with
flat screw-driver,
from the holder on
the appliance back
wall (on the left
hand side under the
cover).

2 Install tube into

the drain, at
max 80 cm

a height of 80 cm
from the ground.

If the condensate discharge tube is run into a drain, make sure

the tube is firmly secured. This will prevent any water spillage
which could result in unexpected damage.

In this case, the steam generator tank will not be filled

automatically. It will always require manual filling (see section
Filling and replenishing the steam generator tank).
401681

18
ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS

2h

The dryer should be left to stand still for at least two hours
before it is connected to the power mains to allow the system to
stabilize.

Use the power cord to connect the dryer to the power mains
through a power outlet. The dryer may not be connected to the
power mains through an extension cable (danger of overheating
and fire). Nominal voltage and other information is given on the
rating plate located under the door frame.

To prevent from damage by excess voltage on the mains due

to lightning strike we recommend to use a class I over-voltage
protector between the machine and the mains.

After installation, the wall outlet should be freely accessible.

The outlet should be fitted with an earth contact (in
compliance with the relevant regulations).

A damaged power cord may only be replaced by a person

authorized by the manufacturer.
401681

19
 MOVING AND TRANSPORT

After transport, the dryer should be left to stand still for at

least two hours before it is connected to the power mains to
allow the system to stabilize. We recommend that installation
and connection should be done by a qualified person.

SUBSEQUENT TRANSPORT
After each drying certain amount of condensed water is retained
in the appliance. Switch on the appliance and choose one of the
programs, then let the appliance operate for approximately half
a minute. This will pump out the remaining water and prevent
damage to the dryer during transport.

If the appliance was not transported in compliance with the

instructions, the dryer should be left to stand still at least two
hours before it is reconnected to the power mains.

Before connecting the appliance, read the instructions for

use. Repair or any warranty claim resulting from incorrect
connection or use of the appliance shall not be covered by the
warranty.

The belt can be replaced by a servising engineer only, who

incorporates an original spare part with the marking OPTIBELT
EPH 1906, code 104265, OPTIBELT 8 EPH 1941, code 160165
(depending on model).
401681

20
EMPTYING THE STEAM GENERATOR TANK
(ONLY FOR MODELS WITH STEAM GENERATOR)

Before transporting a dryer that has been previously used, the

steam generator tank must also be emptied. Otherwise, water
from the tank may spill into the dryer interior. Move the dryer
approximately 40 cm away from the wall and tilt it backwards.

1 The steam
generator tank
emptying plug is
located on the front
side (lower right
hand side).

2 Place an empty
vessel under the
plug (approximately
2 l) and pull out the
plug

3 When the water

is discharged,
replace the plug
(if the plug is not
replaced, water will
spill from the dryer
during the next
drying cycle).
401681

21
 STEAM GENERATOR SYSTEM
(DEPENDING ON THE MODEL)

Care and treatment of your laundry with steam.

Use steam to straighten the creases and refresh the laundry. The
laundry will become soft and smooth, making ironing much easier

After the end of the drying program, immediately remove the

laundry from the dryer to prevent it from creasing again.
401681

22
BEFORE THE FIRST USE
Make sure the dryer is unplugged. Then, open the door by pulling the left side of the door
towards you.

1 2

Clean the dryer

drum before using
the dryer for the first
time. Use a damp
cloth and a mild
cleaning agent.

401681

23
 BEFORE USING THE APPLIANCE FOR THE FIRST
TIME
(MODEL WITH STEAM GENERATOR)

If you select one of the steam programs as the first program to be run with your dryer,
first add distilled water to the steam generator tank; the dryer needs the distilled water to
generate steam.
If the steam generator tank is empty, none of the steam programs will be available.
"LO" (steam generator tank empty) will appear on the display. Later, the system is
automatically filled with condensed water accumulated during the drying process.

Only use distilled water. Do not use regular tap water or any
additives. Limescale may damage the heater. Malfunction or
failure due to accumulation of limescale is not covered by the
warranty.

Add distilled water when the appliance is switched on and one

of the steam programs is selected (but before starting any
drying program). Otherwise, the level sensor will not operate
and water may overflow to the dryer interior.
401681

24
FILLING AND REPLENISHING THE STEAM
GENERATOR TANK
(MODEL WITH STEAM GENERATOR)

2
1 Remove the
condensate tank.

2 Slowly add
distilled water to
the steam generator
tank filter.

By slowly pouring, you will prevent the water from flowing

down the front wall of the appliance. (Steam generator tank is
not visible as it is located in the dryer interior; only the steam
generator tank filter is visible.

When the steam generator tank is full, "FULL" will be displayed

on the screen and an acoustic alarm will be emitted.

TIPS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
FOR DRYING AND ECONOMIC
USE OF YOUR DRYER
The most economical way of drying is to dry the recommended
amount of laundry in each batch (see Program Table).
Drying laundry made of particularly delicate fabrics that may be
deformed is not recommended.

Use of conditioner in the washing cycle is not necessary as the

laundry is soft and smooth after drying in the dryer. Drying
time will be shorter and power consumption will be lower if the
garments are thoroughly wrung or spun before drying. By selecting
the appropriate drying program, you will avoid overdrying your
laundry and problems with ironing or shrinkage of fabric.

Regular cleaning of the filters will lead to optimum drying time and
minimum power consumption.

When drying smaller amounts of laundry or individual garments,

the sensor may not perceive the actual level of moisture in the
laundry. In such cases, it is recommended to dry smaller items
or amounts with programs for dryer laundry or with the timed
program.

The Cotton Standard program is intended for drying of normally wet cotton laundry. It is the
most efficient program for drying cotton laundry in terms of power consumption.

Due to deviations in terms of type and amount of laundry, spinning,

power supply oscillation, and environment temperature and
humidity, the values measured at the user may differ from the one
stated in the table.

We reserve the right to any changes and errors in the instructions for use.
