Service
Heat Pump System
GB
This dryer is fitted with a sealed heat pump system to
dry your clothes. To operate, the heat pump contains
fluorinated greenhouse gases (F gases) which are
covered by the Kyoto Protocol. These F gases are
contained in a hermetically sealed unit. This sealed
unit contains 0.29kg of the F gas R134a which acts as
a refrigerant.
If the sealed unit fails then it must be replaced by a
new sealed unit. Contact your nearest Service Centre
for advice.
Note: The gases contained in the sealed system
●
are not hazardous to health, but if they escape they
will have an impact on global warming.
Before calling the Service Centre:
Use the troubleshooting guide to see if you can
●
solve the problem yourself (see Troubleshooting).
If not, turn off the dryer and call the Service Centre
●
closest to you.
What to tell the Service Centre:
name, address and post code.
●
telephone number.
●
the type of problem.
●
the date of purchase.
●
the appliance model (Mod.).
●
the serial number (S/N).
●
This information can be found on the data label inside
the door of the machine.
Save energy and respect the environment
Wring out items to eliminate excess water before tumble drying (if you use a washing machine first, select a high
●
spin cycle). Doing this will save time and energy during drying.
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).
