Electrical requirements

Tumble dryers are supplied to operate at a

voltage of 230V, 50 Hz single phase. Check that

the supply circuit is rated to at least 10A.

Electricity can be extremely dangerous.

This appliance must be earthed.

The socket outlet and the plug on the appliance

must be of the same type.

Do not use multiple adapters and/or extension

leads.

The plug should be accessible for disconnection

after the appliance has been installed.

The wires in the mains lead are coloured in

accordance with the following codes:

Blue NEUTRAL

Brown LIVE

Green and Yellow EARTH

CE Appliance complies with European Directive

89/336/EEC, 73/23/EEC and subsequent

amendments.

Adjusting the feet

Once the machine is in place the feet should be

6

Installation

You may be

charged for a

service call if a

problem with

your machine is

caused by

incorrect

installation.

If the mains cord

on this appliance

is damaged, it

must be replaced

by a special cord

which is ONLY

obtainable from

the GIAS spares

service. It must

be installed by a

competent

person.

Do not plug the machine in and switch

it on at the mains until the installation is

completed.

For your safety, this dryer must be

correctly installed.

If there is any doubt about installation,

call GIAS Service for advice.

40004355Eng.qxd 24/02/2006 10:02 Page 6

Adequate ventilation must be provided in the

room where the tumble dryer is located to prevent

gases from appliances burning other fuels,

including open fires, being drawn into the room

during operation of the tumble dryer.

● Exhaust air must not be discharged into a

flue which is used for exhausting fumes

from appliances burning gas or other fuels.

● Check regularly that the air flowing through

the dryer is not restricted.

● Check the fluff filter after use, and clean,

if necessary.

● The inlet and outlets should be kept free

from obstructions. To ensure adequate

ventilation the space between the bottom

of the machine and the floor must not be

obstructed. There should be a gap of at least

12mm between the machine and any

obstructions.

● Prevent items from falling or collecting

behind the dryer as these may obstruct the

air inlet and outlet.

● NEVER install the dryer up against curtains.

Installation of the

Discharge Hose

It is essential to use a venting hose to carry the hot

moist air away from the dryer unless the dryer is

situated in a open space with a good air flow

around it. Re-circulation of the moist air will

prevent the efficient operation of the dryer.

The hose is assembled to the machine as shown

The hose may be fitted through a wall or through

an open door or window. The hose is 110mm in

diameter and will extend 1.8 meters.

The following guidelines should be followed when installing the discharge hose.

● Do not use two hoses joined together as the drying performance will be

reduced.

7

Ventilation

40004355Eng.qxd 24/02/2006 10:02 Page 7

● Do not restrict the flow of air through the hose e.g. by kinking it or

fitting a smaller diameter connector to mount to a wall opening.

● Avoid the hose making U shaped curves as this will restrict the flow of air

and increase the chance that water will collect in the hose.

● Check the hose regularly to remove any build-up of fluff or water that

may have collected in it.

The following diagrams give examples of good and bad installations.

Before using the tumble dryer for the first time:

● Please read this instruction book thoroughly.

● Remove all items packed inside 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.

8

Preparing the load

Do not overload

the drum, large

items when wet

can exceed the

maximum

admissible

clothes load

(for example:

sleeping bags,

duvets).

40004355Eng.qxd 24/02/2006 10:02 Page 8

Maximum drying weight

● Cottons Max. 7.5 kg

● Synthetics Max. 3 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.

● 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.

9

40004355Eng.qxd 24/02/2006 10:02 Page 9

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.

NEVER

● Exceed the maximum weight, this will waste

time and electricity.

● Put dripping wet items into the tumble

dryer, this may damage the appliance.

Drying guide

The table shows approximate drying times,

depending on the type of fabric and dampness of

the clothes.

The 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 programme that

leaves the laundry suitable for ironing.

A gentle programme specially created to get woollens

softer after air-drying.

This delicate warm air cycle, lasting 12 minutes, can

also be used to get woollens 'refreshed' after being

stored in the wardrobe.

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.
