INSTRUCTION BOOKLET  
TUMBLE DRYER  
TC470  
 
WARNINGS  
It is most important that this instruction book  
should be retained with the appliance for future  
reference. Should the appliance be sold or trans-  
ferred to another owner, or should you move  
house and leave the appliance, always ensure  
that the book is supplied with the appliance in  
order that the new owner can get to know the  
functioning of the appliance and the relevant  
warnings.  
SERVICE/REPAIR  
Under no circumstances should you attempt to  
repair the machine yourself. Repairs carried out by  
inexperienced persons may cause injury or seri-  
ous malfunctioning. Refer to your local Zanussi  
Service Centre. Always insist on genuine Zanussi  
spare parts.  
GENERAL SAFETY  
These warnings have been provided in the inter-  
est of safety. You MUST read them carefully  
before installing or using the appliance.  
It is dangerous to modify or try to modify the speci-  
fications of this appliance in any way.  
This appliance is designed to be used by adults.  
Children should not be allowed to touch the con-  
trols or play with the product.  
INSTALLATION  
Any electrical work required to install this appli-  
ance should be carried out by a qualified electri-  
cian or competent person.  
Pets and small children may climb into tumble dry-  
ers. Check your appliance each time before use.  
Make sure that the appliance does not stand on its  
electrical supply cable.  
ENVIRONMENT PROTECTION  
The materials used on this appliance marked with  
If the machine is situated on a carpeted floor,  
please adjust the feet in order to allow air to  
circulate freely.  
the symbol are recyclable.  
This means that they can be recycled by disposing  
of them properly in appropriate collection contain-  
ers.  
USE  
If you take your appliance to a refuse disposal  
site, cut off the power cable flush with the appli-  
ance to avoid the danger of the appliance being  
re-used, and disable the door catch to prevent  
children becoming trapped inside.  
Always unplug the appliance after use.  
Clothes which are dripping wet should not be  
placed in the dryer.  
Always load well spun laundry. The higher the  
spin speed, the lower the electricity consumption  
and the shorter the drying times.  
Never tumble dry items that have been in contact  
with chemicals such as dry cleaning fluid. These  
are of a volatile nature and could cause an explo-  
sion.  
As some bulky items such as duvets and eider-  
downs should be dried in large commercial  
machines because of their bulk, check with the  
manufacturer of the item if it is suitable for drying  
in a domestic machine, even if the dry weight of  
the item is within the limit advised.  
Always check that no cigarette lighters have been  
left in pockets.  
Leave the door slightly ajar when not in use to pre-  
serve the door seal.  
The fluff filter must be cleaned after every use.  
Do not operate the appliance with a damaged filter  
or with no filter at all, as this may cause a fire.  
Do not overload the appliance.  
Do not allow fluff to accumulate around the dryer.

Door Reversal Instructions  
The appliance may be placed on any type of flat floor.  
It must be perfectly level (use a spirit level if neces-  
sary). Adjust the feet to compensate for any uneven-  
ness in the floor.  
To ensure correct operation, the surrounding area  
must be kept clean, free of dust and fluff.  
The appliance is supplied with the door opening from  
right to left. If you wish to change the opening direc-  
tion, proceed as follows (see picture A):  
1. Unhook door stopper «A» from its seat «a» and  
loosen from hole «b» by a 90° rotation.  
2. Remove the plastic plug from hole «c» by a 90°  
rotation and re-fix in hole «b».  
Air must be able to circulate freely all round the appli-  
ance. Do not obstruct the front ventilation grille or the  
air intake grilles in the back of the machine.  
3. Unscrew hinge «B» (loosen the 2 screws, holding  
the door securely) and lower the door from the top  
pivot.  
Do not remove the feet.  
Do not reduce the clearance between the appliance  
and the floor by placing it on deep pile carpet or rugs,  
as this could lead to a build-up of heat which would  
adversely affect operation of the machine.  
4. Re-insert pin «F» from the door above and below  
on opposite sides respectively.  
5. Loosen door catch «C» by pressing both lugs  
together (see small illustration).  
6. Loosen opposite plastic part «D» as in step 5 (you  
may need to use a screwdriver to assist in both steps  
5 and 6 ).  
Important:  
The hot air emitted by the tumble dryer can reach  
temperatures of up to 60°C. The appliance must  
therefore not be installed on floors which are not resis-  
tant to high temperatures.  
The ambient temperature must not exceed 35°C, even  
when the appliance is working. If it does, open the  
door or window.  
7. Interchange and insert parts «C» and «D».  
8. Remove screws «E» and refit on the opposite side.

5 On/OffDial - Time Selector Dial  
Turn the dial clockwise (to the right) to select the time  
for drying (see Chart page 9). At the same time the  
machine is switched on and the programme starts.  
3 Door Open Button  
This dryer has two drying cycles of up to 120 and 80  
minutes, giving a high or low heat temperature accord-  
ing to the fabric type.  
Depress this button to open the door.  
The door of the machine can be opened at any time  
during the programme if you want to feel the dryness  
of the fabrics.  
When selecting the drying time you should remember  
that it includes a 12 minute cooling phase (position  
on the dial).  
This phase should not be shortened, stopped or avoid-  
ed, as this could cause skin burns or damages to the  
laundry.  
Additional drying  
If, at the end of the programme, the laundry is still too  
damp, set the dial for a further period of drying  
(remembering to take into account the cooling period).

(1) Never overfill the drum (do not load large quilts, for example).  
The laundry must be suitably spin dried in your washing machine before being placed in the tumble dryer (500rpm  
minimum).  
Drying times vary according to:  
- The type of laundry  
- The size of the load  
- The degree of spinning prior to drying  
Drying times are given as a guide only. Experience will soon enable you to estimate the drying time needed for your  
usual laundry loads.  
Do not start by selecting a long drying time. It is better to determine the required degree of dryness by gradually  
increasing the drying time.  
For a mixed load (cotton and resistant synthetics, for example) select the time for the most delicate fibres and  
increase it by 10 mins.

Useful hints  
Try to load to the maximum capacity of the  
machine as small loads are uneconomical.  
For information, here is a list of the average  
weights of some common laundry items.  
1. Load the laundry  
Open the door by press-  
ing button  
.
Load the items one at a  
time, shaking them out  
loosely and close the  
door.  
Check the laundry does  
not get caught between  
the door and filter.

2. Select the drying time  
Never tumble dry the following:  
Particularly delicate items such as net curtains,  
woollen, silk, fabrics with metal trim, nylon tights,  
bulky materials such as anoraks, blankets, eider-  
downs, sleeping bags, feather quilts and any items  
containing rubber foam or materials similar to rub-  
ber foam.  
Turn the selector dial  
clockwise to the required  
minute setting (in the  
high or low temperature  
range, according to the  
fabric).  
40  
The mains-on light will il-  
luminate and the dryer  
will start to work.  
Always follow the instructions on garment labels.  
Tumble dry normal (high temperature)  
Tumble dry delicate (low temperature)  
Do not tumble dry  
P0627  
Close pillowcases and covers with fasteners to  
prevent small laundry items getting tangled inside  
them. Close press studs, zips and hooks and tie  
belts and apron strings.  
3. When drying is completed  
The machine stops automatically and the mains-on  
light goes out.  
If the laundry is still too damp, select a further brief  
drying time, bearing in mind that during the last 12 mi-  
nutes the dryer carries out the cooling and anticrease  
treatment phase.  
Sort laundry according to type and degree of dry-  
ing required.  
Do not over-dry laundry, this avoids creasing and  
saves energy.  
Remove the clothes from the machine.  
Avoid drying dark clothes with light coloured fluffy  
items such as towels as they could attract the fluff.  
Clean the filter after every drying programme. A  
clean filter ensures correct functioning of the  
appliance.  
Remove the laundry when the dryer has finished  
drying.  
To avoid a static charge when drying is completed,  
use either a fabric softener when you are washing  
the laundry or a fabric conditioner specifically for  
tumble dryers.  
Laundry Shrinkage  
Certain fabrics such as woollens and silks are gener-  
ally not suitable for tumble drying. Due to the struc-  
ture of some woollen garments which are recom-  
mended for tumble drying, shrinking could still occur,  
but once the garment is worn again, it should regain  
its shape.  
Starched Laundry  
Starched laundry can also be dried in the tumble  
dryer. Make sure that the time selected is for iron dry.  
After completion of the programme wipe out the drum  
with a damp cloth and dry to remove any traces of  
starch.

MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING  
Important:  
Emptying the water reservoir  
You must disconnect the appliance from the elec-  
tricity supply, before carrying out any cleaning or  
maintenance work.  
Water extracted from the laundry condenses inside  
the machine and is collected in a reservoir.  
The reservoir must be emptied after each drying cycle  
to ensure efficient operation when the machine is  
next used.  
If this is not done a safety device trips: pilot light  
on the control panel comes on and the programme  
stops, leaving the laundry damp.  
External cleaning  
Use only soap and water. Rinse and dry thoroughly.  
Important:  
The reservoir can be emptied even in the middle of a  
programme.  
Never use abrasive or caustic products.  
Cleaning the filter  
The tumble dryer cannot  
operate efficiently with a  
clogged filter. The filter  
collects all the fluff which  
forms during drying and it  
is therefore essential to  
remove and clean this fil-  
ter after each drying pro-  
P0637  
gramme.  
P0638  
The reservoir must be re-inserted correctly.  
You should not be alarmed by the amount of fluff  
which collects on the filter; this is due to normal wear-  
ing of the fabrics dried and not to incorrect operation  
of your machine. Rubbing of the fibres during normal  
wear and washing forms fluff. If laundry is dried on a  
line, this fluff simply flies away, whereas inside the  
tumble dryer it collects together and swells consider-  
ably as a result of the drying action.  
Handy tip: The condensed water may be used in a  
steam iron or to top up a battery, etc. In this case it  
must be filtered (e.g. through a coffee filter).  
Cleaning the condenser unit  
Clean the air condenser periodically, 3 or 4 times a  
year depending on how frequently the dryer is used.  
Pull out the condenser, holding it at the top, and  
remove all fluff. Clean it with a brush and rinse it  
under the shower if necessary.  
P0639  
P0636  
Also clean the outside, removing all fluff.  
Clean the rubber seal round the porthole door and the  
seal of the condenser in the inner door with a damp  
cloth.
