Installation
Keep this instruction booklet on hand in order to refer
!
to it when necessary. Take it with you when you move,
and, should you sell this appliance or pass it on to
another party, make sure that this booklet is supplied
along with the dryer so that the new owner may be
informed about warnings and suggestions on how the
dryer works.
! Read these instructions carefully; the following
pages contain important information on installation
and suggestions on how the appliance works.
Where to put your dryer
Place your dryer at a distance from gas ranges,
•
stoves, heaters, or cook tops because flames can
damage the appliance.
If you are going to install the appliance under a
•
work counter, be sure to leave a 10 mm space
between the top and any other objects on or above
the machine and a 15 mm space between the
sides and lateral furnishings or walls. This is to
ensure proper air circulation. Make sure that the
back vents are not obstructed.
Make sure you put your dryer in an environment
•
that is not damp and has proper air circulation
throughout.
Ventilation
This Dryer dries your laundry by drawing in cool, clean
and relatively dry air, heating it, and then distributing it
through the clothes as they are gently tumbled. For
optimum performance, the moist air is then blown out
through a vent tube behind the dryer. When the dryer
is in use, there has to be adequate ventilation to avoid
a back flow of gases into the room from appliances
burning other fuels, including open fires.
Mobile venting
A vent tube must always be fitted when the dryer is
used in conjunction with Mobile venting. The tube
must be fitted securely into the back of the dryer
Dryer Description).
connect the tube to a permanent vent close to the
dryer. If permanent installation is not possible, the
dryer will work just as well with the tube passing
through a partly-opened window.
If possible, it is always best to
(see
TD4001 Issue 1
! Ensure that the end of the tube is not directed toward
the air intake vent at the rear of the dryer.
! The vent tube should not exceed 2,4 m in length, and
should be kept free of any possible accumulation of
fluff, lint, and water by shaking it out frequently. Always
ensure that the tube is not squashed.
Permanent venting
In conjunction with the vent tube we recommend
using a Wall/Window Vent Kit, available at a retail
location or the nearest Spare Parts Dealer:
Wall mounting
1. Leave an opening in
the wall to the left of
dryer’s intended position.
2. Keep the tube as
short and straight as
possible to prevent
condensed moisture
from backing up into
the dryer.
3. Similarly, the duct in the
wall should slope
downwards towards the
outside.
Window mounting
1. With a stacked dryer
the hole in the
window should ideally
be made below the
vent.
2. The tube should be
kept as short as
possible.
Depending upon how often you use your dryer, it is
essential that areas A and B are checked periodically
to remove lint or debris. The v ent tube adaptor must
be fitted securely thus preventing any humid air from
being emitted back into the room.
The Dryer should not be pushed so far back that the
!
tube adaptor is pulled out of position or the tube is
squashed or bent.
! The tube should be kept clear of the air intake vent
and kinks or ‘U’ bends must be avoided as these will
obstruct the tube and trap condensation.
19504259100 English {PDF Created 13/11/04 12:27}
Open window venting
The end of the tube
should be directed
downwards to prevent
warm and moist air from
condensing in the room
or in the dryer.
Ensure that the dryer is adequately ventilated and
!
that the end of the vent tube is not directed towards
the air intake duct.
The vent tube must always be fitted for optimum
!
performance.
Make sure that the vent tube and air intake vents
!
are not obstructed or blocked.
The dryer must not recycle exhaust air.
!
Misusing a tumble dryer may create a fire hazard.
!
Do not discharge exhaust air into a flue which is
!
used for exhaust fumes from other appliances that
burn gas or other fuels.
Electrical connection
Make sure of the following before you insert the plug
into the electrical socket:
• The socket must be grounded.
• The socket must be able to sustain the machine’s
maximum power, which is indicated on the rating
label
(see Dryer Description).
• Power voltage must be within the values indicated
on the rating label
• The socket must be compatible with the dryer’s
plug. Should this not be the case, replace the plug
or the socket.
The dryer must not be installed outdoors, even if the
!
space is sheltered. It can be very dangerous if
exposed to rain or storms.
Once installed, the dryer’s electrical wire and plug
!
must be within reach.

Easy Iron
Easy Iron is a short 10 minute programme (8 minutes of heat followed by a 2 minute cool tumble period) which
fluffs the fibres of clothing that has been left in the same position/location for an extended period of time. The cycle
relaxes the fibres and makes them easier to iron and fold.
! Easy Iron is not a drying programme and should not be used for wet articles of clothing.
For best result s:
1. Do not load more than maximum capacity. These numbers refer to dry weight:
Fabric: Max load:
Cotton and Cotton mix 2.5 kg
Synthetics 2 kg
Denim 2 kg
2. Unload the dryer immediately after the end of the drying cycle, hang, fold or iron the articles and put them
away in the closet. Should this not be possible, repeat the cycle.
The Easy Iron effect varies from one fabric to the next. It works very well on traditional fabrics like Cotton or
Cotton mix, and less well on acrylic fibres and on materials such as Tencel.

Wash care labels
Look at the labels on your garments, especially
when tumble drying for the first time. The following
symbols are the most common:
May be tumble dried.
not
Do
tumble dry.
Tumble dry at high heat setting.
Tumble dry at low heat setting.
What not to tumble dry in your dryer:
Articles that contain rubber or rubber-like materials,
•
or plastic film (pillows, cushions, or PVC rainwear);
any other flammabl e objects, or objects that contain
flammable substances (towels soiled with
hairspray).
Glass fibres (certain types of draperies).
•
Items that have been Dry Cleaned.
•
Items with the ITLC code
•
(“Special clothing items”)
. These can be cleaned with special at-home
dry cleaning products. Follow instructions carefully.
Large bulky items (quilts, sleeping bags, pillows,
•
cushions, large bedspreads, etc.). These expand
when drying and would prevent airflow through the
dryer.
At the end of a drying cycle, cottons could still be
damp if you grouped cottons and synthetics
together. If this happens simply give them an
additional short period of drying.

Special clothing items
Blankets and bedspreads:
acrylic items (Acilan,
Courtelle, Orion, Dralon) must be dried with special
care on a low heat setting. Avoid drying for a long
period of time.
Pleated or creased garments: read manufacturer
drying instructions on the garment.
Starched articles: do not dry these items with nonstarched items. Make sure that as much of the starch
solution is removed from the load as possible before
placing it in the dryer. Do not over-dry: the starch will
become powdery and leave your clothing limp, which
defeats the purpose of starch.

Maintenance and Care
Switching off the electricity
Unplug the dryer when not using it, when cleaning it,
and during maintenance activities.
Clean the filter after each cycle
The filter is an important part of your dryer: it
accumulates lint and fluff that is formed while drying.
Small items could also become trapped in the filter.
When finished drying, therefore, clean the filter by
rinsing it under running water or with your vacuum
cleaner. Should the filter become clogged up, the
airflow inside the dryer will be seriously
compromised: drying times lengthen and you will
consume more energy. It may also damage your
dryer.
The filter is found in front of the dryer trim
(see diagram).
Check the drum after each cycle
Turn the drum manually in order to remove small
items (handkerchiefs) that could have been left
behind.
Cleaning the dryer
• External parts in metal or plastic and rubber parts can
be cleaned with a damp cloth.
• Periodically check the vent tube and any
permanent venting fixture to make sure that there
has been no accumulation of fluff or lint, and
remove it.
• Remove lint that collects around filter and the outlet
vents.
Do not use solvents or abrasives.
!
Your dryer uses special bearing components which
!
do not need lubrication.
Have your dryer checked regularly by authorized
!
technicians to ensure electrical and mechanical
