Installation and
Ventilation requirements
IMPORTANT: This dryer must be
installed such that the air inlets and
outlets are not restricted (fig. 1).
There should be a gap of at least 12 mm
(0.5 inches) between the sides and rear of
the machine and the surrounding walls and
cabinets.
To ensure adequate ventilation the space
between the bottom of the machine and the
floor must not be obstructed.
NEVER install the dryer up
against curtains.
Prevent items from falling or
collecting between the sides and
rear of the dryer as these may
obstruct the air inlet and outlets.
A venting hose is supplied with
this tumble dryer.
The use of the venting hose to
exhaust hot air to the external
atmosphere is strongly
recommended to ensure
maximum drying efficiency. Protect the
external outlet from prevailing winds to
ensure back-draughts do not reduce the
drying performance.
If the dryer is installed under a worktop or
built-in, it is essential to use the venting
hose to carry the hot moist air away from
the dryer otherwise re-circulation of the
moist air will prevent the dryer from
working efficiently.
The hose may be fitted through a wall or
through an open door or window (fig. 2).
The hose is 95 mm (3.75 inches) in
diameter and will extend up to 1.8 metres
(6 feet).
Venting hoses longer than 1.8 metres
(6 feet) are not recommended as the dryer
performance will be reduced.
Ensure that the venting hose is not
kinked as this will prevent the dryer
from working efficiently.
There are three air outlets – one at the rear
and one on each side of the dryer. The
venting hose must only be attached to one
of these outlets. The covers must be fitted
to the two unused outlets to maintain
maximum drying efficiency.
Where it is not practical to fit a venting
hose, condensation can be reduced by
operating the dryer close to an open
window or an extractor fan.

Preparing the load
Before using the dryer for the first time
wipe the inside of the drum and door with a
damp cloth.
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.
Clothes preparation
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.
Do not overload the drum, particularly
when drying large items, otherwise, the
laundry may stick to the drum and not dry
evenly.
Maximum drying weight
●
Cottons Max. 6 kg
●
Synthetics Max. 3 kg
Sort the load as follows:
A) By care symbols
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.
B) By amount and thickness
Whenever the load is bigger than the
dryer capacity, separate clothes
according to thickness (e.g. towels
from thin underwear).
C) 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.
D) By drying level
●
Sort into: Iron dry, cupboard dry, etc.
●
For delicate articles press the
‘DELICATES’ ( ) 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.
IMPORTANT: Do not dry articles
which have been treated with a dry
cleaning fluid or rubber clothes (danger
of fire or explosion).
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.
NEVER exceed the maximum weight, this
will waste time and electricity.
ALWAYS check that the filter is clean
before every drying cycle.
NEVER put dripping wet items into the
tumble dryer, this may damage the
appliance.
ALWAYS ensure that the covers are fitted
to the two unused vent outlets, this will
maintain maximum drying performance.

IMPORTANT: To maintain the
efficiency of the dryer check that the
fluff filter is clean before each drying
cycle.

Operation
1. Open the door and load the drum with
laundry. Ensure that garments do not
hinder closure of the door.
2. Gently close the door pushing it slowly
until you hear the door ‘click’ shut.
3. Press the ‘ON/OFF’ button to switch
on the dryer. The indicator will light.
4. Turn the ‘PROGRAM’ dial to select
the required drying program:
e.g. if you are drying cotton laundry
and would like it suitable for ironing
please select the iron dry option.
The PRE-IRONING setting shown by
the symbol on the ‘PROGRAM’
dial provides a conditioning and anti-
crease 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
PRE-IRONING process relaxes the
creases in the fabric making ironing
quicker and easier.
5. If drying delicate items on the ‘timed’
programs press the ‘DELICATES’
button to reduce the heat level. Press
again on completion, to select high
temperature.
6. Press the ‘START’ button. The dryer
will start automatically and the
‘HEATING’ indicator will light.
Drying sensor
A sensor will detect when the load is
dry. The drying cycle will then go into
the cooldown period and the
‘COOLING’ indicator will light.
After 10 minutes of cooldown the drum
will stop rotating automatically.
Note:
(i) 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,
utilise the timed programs. Set the
program between 30 and 75 minutes
depending upon load size and
dryness required and select high or
low heat depending upon the fabric
type. If this is not carried out the
dryer will only operate for 10
minutes before going into cooldown.
(ii) If the sensor does not operate, for
example when a load is too large or
too wet to tumble dry, the dryer will
automatically go into cooldown after
180 minutes.
The dryer can be set to start up to 9
hours after the program has been set.
To set the time delay option press and
release the ‘START DELAY’ button
until the required delay (shown in
hours) appears on the display and then
press the ‘START’ button. The display
will flash.
As each hour passes the figure shown
on the display will count down. When
it gets to 0 the dryer will start.
The delay can be changed at any time
simply by pressing the button until the
new figure appears on the display.
If there is an interruption to the
electricity supply the time delay will be
lost and so will have to be re-set when
the power is restored.
7. To switch off the buzzer, which sounds
at the end of each cycle, press the
‘ALARM OFF’ button.
8. The load is dried by tumbling in
thermostatically controlled warm air.
Cool air is used for the last 10 minutes
to reduce creasing and cool the load

ready for handling. During this time the
‘COOLING’ indicator is lit.
9. When the program is fully completed
the drum will stop rotating. The dial
remains at the position of the selected
program. The ‘COOLING’ indicator
will flash and the buzzer will sound.
10.Open the door and remove the load.
If the load is not removed from the
dryer at the end of the drying cycle, a
‘creaseguard’ function is activated.
Every 15 minutes the dryer will tumble
the load for 5 seconds and the buzzer
will sound.
This process will be repeated until the
‘creaseguard’ function is cancelled by
opening the door.
The ‘COOLING’ indicator will
continue to flash while ‘creaseguard’ is
activated.
11. Clean the filter after every drying cycle
to ensure maximum dryer efficiency.
(See ‘Filter’ section.)
Cleaning the dryer
IMPORTANT: Always switch off and
remove the plug from the electricity
supply before cleaning this appliance.
Clean the filter after every drying cycle.
After each period of use, wipe the inside of
the drum and leave the door open for a
while to allow circulation of air to dry it.
Wipe the outside of the machine and the
door with a soft cloth.
DO NOT use abrasive pads or cleaning
agents.
To prevent the door sticking, periodically
clean the door gasket with a ‘non-scratch
cream cleaner.’
