Maintenance And Care; If Unexpected Difficulties Arise - Thomas CENTRI 772 Mode D'emploi

3. Place each article of laundry singly in the
spin drum. Distribute the washing evenly
in the drum and press down firmly, so as to
avoid leaving empty spaces (and thus avoiding
excessive vibration of the machine during operation).
4. The max. dry weight capacity and the electrical
ratings are to be found on the rating plate or to
be obtained in consulting your dealer.
5. Do not place rolled-up items of clothing
(e.g. jeans) in the spin dryer.
6. Press the loaded washing down, so that
there is a gap of at least 3 cm between the
washing and the top edge of the drum.
Lastly, cover the washing with a cloth, the
ends of which should be tucked well down
inside the drum, so as to avoid items of was-
hing being catapulted out during operation.
7. Close the lid.
Switch on the appliance
Turn the operating lever to the right as far as
it will go to the "ON" (I) position.
The spin dryer is now in operation and water flows out
of the outlet spout.
Spin Drying Times
For normal washing: 3-5 minutes.
The residual moisture amounts to:
• approx: 65% in machines with a spin speed of
1400 rpm;
• approx: 40% in machines with a spin speed of
2800 rpm;
For washing which requires no ironing:
15-30 seconds max.
Switch of the appliance
When water ceases to flow out of the outlet spout,
or when the spin process is to be terminated, turn
the operating lever back to the left to the "OFF" (0)
position.
When the drum has come to a standstill, open the lid.
A special safety device prevents the lid being opened
before the drum has stopped spinning.
Never force the lid open
Remove the laundry from the drum.
Gently tilt the spin forward, so that any remaining water
can flow out of the outlet spout.
Pull out the plug.

Maintenance and Care

• Always pull out the plug before cleaning the
appliance!
• After use, wipe the spindrum dry with a cloth.
• If dirty washing has been spun, it is necessary to
rinse the drum out with clear water in order to avoid
soiling the next load of washing.
• Clean the exterior of the spin dryer with a damp
C
cloth and wipe it dry.
• Use standard detergents only to clean the appliance.
• Do not use abrasive cleaning agents.
• Never use petrol or other solvent liquids.
• The spin dryer requires no other maintenance.

If unexpected difficulties arise

D
• Before contacting your dealer, check whether the
fault is due to one of the following minor causes.
The motor does not function:
• Has the fuse blow?
• Is there damage to the mains cable, plug or
socket? Pull out the plug before checking!
• Never open the motor yourself!
A
Water does not flow out:
• Pull out the plug! Check whether the outlet
spout is blocked by a piece of washing.
• Press the spin drum from the inside against the
outer casing with your hand and remove the
piece of washing.
The spin dryer does not pick up spin
speed:
• Please note that the spin dryer normally
overcomes a certain amount of unbalance
itself when picking up spin speed. The motor
and spin drum are suspended flexibly for that
reason.
• However, if the unbalance is too great (brought
about by incorrect loading of the spin dryer),
the machine cannot pick up spin speed.
The spin dryer "jumps":
1. Switch off the spin dryer immediately!
2. When the drum has come to a standstill, repack
the washing evenly.
3. Reload the spin dryer in accordance with the
E
instructions given on the previous page.
