Decide which plumbing option suits you best then follow the instructions

below.

Option 1

Waste pipe connection (waste trap)

After removing the blanking plug or cutting the membrane from the waste

system, securely fix the outlet pipe to the drainage system using a hose clip.

Option 2

Into a standpipe

Ensure that the standpipe is not located near

an electrical socket.

Install the hose into the standpipe ensuring

that the pipe is at least 400mm from the floor.

Insert the outlet pipe approximately 100mm

into the standpipe. Ensure that the pipe is not

kinked or restricted, as this will prevent the

operation of the dryer.

Moving the machine

into position

Your machine is heavy so care must be taken

when moving it. We recommend that two people

move the machine to avoid strain and possible

injury.

● Take care not to damage flooring when

moving the machine.

● When moving the machine to its final

position take care not to kink or damage

the hose at the back of the machine.

Adjusting the feet

Once the machine is in place the feet should be

adjusted to ensure that the machine is level. If

the machine is not level it may become noisy or

move.

Adjust the feet on the front corners of the

machine until the machine is firm and level.

10

All machines are tested with water prior to leaving the

factory so a small amount of water may remain in the drain

hose.

Flooding could occur if any part of the installation is not

completed correctly.

Do not drag or

lift the machine

by its door.

40004059Eng.qxd 31/08/2006 21:57 Page 10

Before using the tumble dryer for the first time:

● Please read this instruction book thoroughly.

● Remove all items packed inside the drum.

● Wipe the inside of the drum and door with

a damp cloth to remove any dust which may

have settled in transit.

Clothes preparation

Make sure that the laundry you are going to dry

is suitable for drying in a tumble dryer, as shown

by the care symbols on each item.

Check that all fastenings are closed and that

pockets are empty. Turn the articles inside out.

Place clothes loosely in the drum to make sure

that they don't get tangled.

Maximum drying weight

● Cottons Max. 8 kg

● Synthetics Max. 4 kg

Sort the load as follows:

● By care symbols

These can be found on the collar or inside

seam:

Suitable for tumble drying.

Tumble drying at high temperature.

Tumble drying at low temperature only.

Do not tumble dry.

If the item does not have a care label it

must be assumed that it is not suitable

for tumble drying.

11

Preparing the load

Do not overload

the drum, large

items when wet

can exceed the

maximum

admissible

clothes load (for

example:

sleeping bags,

duvets).

40004059Eng.qxd 31/08/2006 21:57 Page 11

● By amount and thickness

Whenever the load is bigger than the dryer

capacity, separate clothes according to

thickness (e.g. towels from thin underwear).

● By type of fabric

Cottons/linen: Towels, cotton jersey, bed and

table linen.

Synthetics: Blouses, shirts, overalls, etc.

made of polyester or polyamid, as well as

for cotton/synthetic mixes.

● By drying level

Sort into: iron dry, cupboard dry, etc. For

delicate articles press the button to

select low drying temperature.

Do not tumble dry:

Woollens, silk, delicate fabrics, nylon stockings,

delicate embroidery, fabrics with metallic

decorations, garments with PVC or leather

trimmings, training shoes, bulky items such as

sleeping bags, etc.

Energy saving

Only put into the tumble dryer laundry which has

been thoroughly wrung or spin-dried. The drier

the laundry, the shorter the drying time thus

saving electricity.

ALWAYS

● Try to dry the maximum weight of laundry,

this will save time and electricity.

● Check that the filter is clean before every

drying cycle.

12

IMPORTANT: Do

not dry articles

which have been

treated with a

dry cleaning fluid

or rubber clothes

(danger of fire or

explosion).

Drying advice

40004059Eng.qxd 31/08/2006 21:57 Page 12

NEVER

The Hoover Sensor Dry machine gives many

options for drying the laundry to suit all

circumstances.

The table below lists the programmes and the

function of each programme.

Note: The sensor may not detect a small load of

small articles. For small loads and separate items

or pre-dried fabrics with low moisture content,

use the timed programmes. Set the programme

between 30 and 75 minutes depending on the

load size and dryness required, and select high or

low heat depending upon the fabric type.

If the sensor does not detect the item the dryer

will only operate for 10 minutes before going

into cooldown.

If the load is too large or too wet to tumble dry

the dryer will automatically go into cooldown

after 180 minutes.

Description

Select the degree of dryness that you require.

This ranges from Bone Dry for bath towels and

bathrobes, through Cupboard Dry for items that will be

put away without ironing, to the programmes that

leave the laundry suitable for ironing.

The Fast Iron programme provides a conditioning and

anticrease function. The dryer will heat the load for 9

minutes followed by a 3 minute cool down period and

is especially good for garments which may have been

left for some time prior to ironing, in a linen basket for

example. Garments may also become stiffened when

dried outside on a washing line or inside on radiators.

The Fast Iron process relaxes the creases in the fabric

making ironing quicker and easier.
