Grounding instructions (see installation)

WARNING:

THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE GROUNDED. Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. Check with a qualified electrician or service representative or personnel if you are in doubt as to whether the appliance is properly grounded!

In the event of malfunction or breakdown, grounding will reduce the risk of electric shock by providing a path of least resistance for electric current. This appliance is equipped with a cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances. DO NOT modify the plug provided with the appliance: if it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician or exchange the cord with an appropriate one rated for the dryer.

REFER TO THE RATING PLATE FOR VOLTAGE AND CURRENT REQUIREMENTS

(see diagram for location). The dryer should be connected to the mains supply via a suitable socket which is accessible after installing your dryer. This dryer must be connected to 30A INDIVIDUAL BRANCH CIRCUIT.

For full details see Installation Instruction sections of this book.

IF IN DOUBT ABOUT ANY OF THE ABOVE CONSULT A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN

Dryer Description

The On/Off indicator light signals that your dryer is in use or ready to select a program.

The ON/OFF button: If the dryer is running and this button is pressed, the dryer stops. Press again, the dryer restarts.

The Progress lights show you the status of the program. As each stage of the program starts the corresponding light turns on.

The Heat Icons indicate the heat setting of the selected program. High or Low . Does not light if a Wool, Airing or Air Fluff program has been selected.

The PROGRAMS knob sets the program: rotate it until the indicator is pointing to the program you want to select (see Start and Programs).

The START/CANCEL button starts a selected program. When you press this button there will be one beep and the progress lights will flash to confirm the action. If you have not set a program, the buzzer will beep three times. When a program is running, holding in this button cancels the program and stops the dryer (see Start and Programs).

Start and Programs

Choosing a program

1. Plug the dryer into the electrical socket.

2. Sort your laundry according to fabric type (see Laundry).

3. Open the door and make sure the filter is clean and in place (see Maintenance).

4. Load the machine and make sure that the items are not in the way of the door seal. Close the door.

5. If the On/Off light is not lit: Press the ON/OFF button.

6. Choose a program by checking the Programs guide (see Programs) as well as the indications for each type of fabric (see Laundry).

- Select a program by rotating the PROGRAMS knob.

7. Set a delay time and other options if necessary.

8. If you wish to select the buzzer to sound, at the end of the program, press the ALARM Option button.

9. Press the START button to begin. The display will show the estimated time to end. During the drying program, you can check on your laundry and take out the items that are dry while others continue drying. When you close the door again, press the START button in order to resume drying.

10. During the last few minutes of Drying Programs, before the program is completed, the final AIR FLUFF phase is entered (fabrics are cooled), this phase should always be allowed to complete.

11. The buzzer (if Alarm Option was selected) will warn you when the program is complete. Open the door, take your laundry out, clean the filter and replace it (see Maintenance). If the Post Creasecare Option has been selected and you do not take the clothes out immediately, the clothes will tumble occasionally for 10 hours or until you open the door.

12. Unplug the dryer.

Easy Iron Program

Easy Iron is a short 10 minute programme (8 minutes of heat followed by a 2 minute Air Fluff period) which fluffs the fibers of clothing that have been left in the same position/location for an extended period of time. The cycle relaxes the fibers and makes them easier to iron and fold. ! Easy Iron is not a drying program and should not be used for wet articles of clothing.

For best results:

1. Do not load more than the maximum capacity. These numbers refer to the dry weight:

Fabric Maximum load

Regular Cotton and Regular Cotton mix 5.5 lb / 2.5 kg Permanent Press 4 lb / 2 kg Denim 4 lb / 2 kg

2. Unload the dryer immediately after the end of the program, hang, fold or iron the articles and put them away. Should this not be possible, repeat the program.

The Easy Iron effect varies from one fabric to the next. It works very well on traditional fabrics like Regular Cottons or Regular Cotton mix, and less well on acrylic fibers.

Wool Program

�

This is a program for tumble dryer safe garments marked with the symbol .

�

It can be used for load sizes up to 2 lb / 1 kg (approximately 3 sweaters).

�

We recommend that garments are turned inside out before drying.

�

This program will take about 20 to 40 minutes, but may take longer depending on the size and density of the load and the spin speed used in your washer.

�

Loads dried using this program are usually ready to wear, but on some heavier garments the edges may be slightly damp. Allow these to dry naturally as over-drying could damage garments.

! Unlike other materials, the mechanism of wool shrinkage is irreversible; i.e. it will not stretch back to original size and shape. ! This programme is not suitable for Acrylic garments.
