Installation

Where to install the tumble dryer

If the dryer is installed below a worktop, ensure there are 10 mm between the upper panel of the dryer and any objects above it, and 15 mm between the sides of the machine and the walls or furniture units adjacent to it. This ensures adequate air circulation. Make sure the air inlets on the rear panel are not blocked or obstructed.

Ventilation

This appliance gently dries laundry by taking in cold, clean and relatively dry air, heating it and passing it through the fabric. To facilitate the drying process, damp air is expelled at the rear, through a ventilation hose. 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 ventilation system

When using the tumble dryer with the mobile ventilation system, a ventilation hose must be connected. The hose should be securely fastened to the ventilation hole at the rear of the appliance (see “Description of the tumble dryer”). We recommend the hose is connected to an outlet near the tumble dryer, if possible. If it cannot be installed in a permanent spot, the tumble dryer will still function perfectly well if the ventilation hose is passed through a partiallyopened window. Make sure you do not point the ventilation hose towards the air inlet, which is located on the rear of the appliance. The ventilation hose should not exceed a maximum length of 2.4 metres; it should also be shaken frequently to remove any fluff, dust or water deposits inside it. Make sure you do not crush the hose.The hose supplied has an oval section

to aid installation.

Fixed ventilation kit

We recommend the ventilation hose is connected to a ventilation kit for windows or doors, available from the retailer which originally sold you the appliance or from your local spare parts stockist.

Wall ventilation hole

1. Leave an opening in the wall.

2. Make the hose as short and straight as possible, in order to prevent any moisture from condensing and leaking back into the appliance.

3. The hole in the wall must also be straight and pointing downwards, so that the flow of air coming out is not impeded.

Areas A and B should be checked frequently, to prevent the accumulation of fluff or debris, particularly if the tumble dryer is used very often. The hose adaptor must be fitted correctly, in order to prevent damp air from coming back into the room.

GUIDE TO FITTING THE VENT HOSE TO YOUR DRYER

Remove ovel-shaped Ventilation hosefrom the packaging. Ensure that you also remove the two jubilee clips. If you require to reduce the length of the hose

please wear gloves when cutting the hose.

Pull to expand the end of the Ventilation hose prior to fitting.If the hose has not been expanded, the jubilee clip will not clamp the hose to the adaptor.

Place one of the the jubilee clips over the end of the extended vent hose. The second jubilee clip can be used to secure the opposite end of the vent hose to

a wall mounting kit (not supplied).

Clamp the ventilation hose to the rear vent outlet by tightening the jubilee clip with a screwdriver. If the hose has not been expanded,

the clip will not clamp the hose to the rear vent outlet. The tumble dryer may protrude further forward from the worktop. Please do not push the tumble dryer too far backwar.

Ventilation hole

The ventilation hole should be directly behind the dryer in order to keep the hose as short as possible. Make sure you do not push the tumble dryer too far backwards, as this could lead to the ventilation hose being crushed, bent or even disconnected. There should be no cuts, kinks or “U”-shaped bends in the hose, as these could impede ventilation or trap condensation. The end of the hose must be facing downwards, in order to prevent the hot, damp air from forming condensation in the room or the tumble dryer. Make sure that the tumble dryer is adequately ventilated, and that the end of the ventilation hose is not pointing towards the air inlet pipe on the rear of the appliance. The ventilation hose must always be fitted to ensure

Page 3

optimum performance. The hose will need to be expanded to be fitted and clamped. Make sure that the ventilation hose, air inlet vents, and outlets are not obstructed or blocked. Do not let the tumble dryer recirculate exhaust air. Improper use of the tumble dryer may result in fire hazards.

Ventilation

The air emitted by the tumble dryer must not be expelled in the same duct as used for the fumes produced by different appliances which burn gas or other fuels. Do not discharge the exhaust air into an extraction system or any duct with an extractor fan. This will affect the way the thermal controls operate and can result in a fire hazard.

Make sure that the room in which the tumble dryer is installed is not damp, and that it is adequately ventilated.

The dryer must not be installed

outdoors, even if the space is sheltered.

Once installed, the dryer’s electrical wire

and plug must be within reach.

The power cord must not be bent or

squashed.

If the plug being replaced is a nonrewirable type, then the cut-off plug must be disposed of safely. DO NOT leave it where it can be inserted into a socket and create a shock hazard.

The electric cord must be regularly checked. If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by service agent. (see

Service).

We do not recommend that the dryer is installed in a cupboard but the dryer must never be installed behind a lockable door, a sliding door or a door with a hinge on the opposite side to that of the dryer door.

The appliance must be installed with the

rear surface placed against a wall.

Electrical connections

Before plugging the appliance into the socket, check the following:

Make sure your hands are dry.

The socket must have an earth connection.

The socket must be able to withstand the

machine’s maximum power output as indicated on the rating plate (see Description of

the tumble dryer).

The power supply voltage must fall within the

values indicated on the rating plate (see

Description of the tumble dryer).

Do not use extension leads. Do not pull the

power supply cable. Do not use multiple plug adaptors if the appliance is fitted with a plug. For appliances with fitted plug, if the plug is not suitable for you socket outlet, contact a qualified technician.

The manufacturer denies any responsibility should any of these rules not be followed.

If in doubt about any of the above

consult a qualiﬁ ed electrician.

Levelling the tumble dryer

The tumble dryer should be installed level in order to operate correctly.

After installing the tumble dryer in its permanent position, make sure it is level; check its side-to-side levelling first, followed by front-to-back.

If the tumble dryer is not perfectly level, use a wooden block to support it while you adjust the two front feet, up or down as necessary.

Before you start your dryer

Once the tumble dryer is installed, clean the inside of the drum before operating it and remove any dirt accumulated during transportation.

• Tumble dry items only if they have been washed with detergent and water, rinsed and been through the spin cycle. It is a fire hazard to dry items that HAVE NOT been washed with water.

• ●Do not dry garments that have been treated with chemical products.

• Do not tumble dry items that have been spotted or soaked with vegetable or cooking oils, this constitutes a fire hazard. Oil-affected items can ignite spontaneously,especially when exposed to heat sources such as a tumble dryer. The items become warm, causing an oxidisation reaction with the oil, Oxidisation creates heat. If the heat cannot escape, items can become hot enough to catch fire. Piling, stacking or storing oil-effected items can prevent heat from escaping and so create a fire hazard. If it is unavoidable that fabrics containing vegetable or cooking oil or those that have been contaminated with hair care products be placed in a tumble dryer they should first be washed with extra detergent - this will reduce, but not eliminate the hazard. They should not be removed from the dryer and piled or stacked while hot.

Page 5

• ●Do not tumble dry items containing foam rubber (also known as latex foam), or similarly textured rubber like materials. Foam rubber materials can, when heated, produce fire by spontaneous combustion.

• ●Fabric softener or similar products should not be used in a tumble dryer to eliminate the effects of static electricity unless the practice is specifically recommended by the manufacturer of the fabric softener product.

• Do not tumble dry undergarments that contain metal reinforcements eg. bras with metal reinforcing wires. Damage to the tumble dryer can result if the metal reinforcements come loose during drying.

• Do not tumble dry rubber, plastic articles such as shower caps or babies waterproof covers, polythene or paper.

• Do not tumble dry rubber backed articles, clothes fitted with foam rubber pads, pillows, galoshes and rubber coated tennis shoes.

• Remove all objects from pockets such as lighters and matches.

WARNING: Never stop the dryer before the end of the drying cycle unless all items are quickly removed and spread out so that the heat is dissipated.

Save energy and respect the environment

• Wring out all items to eliminate excess water before tumble drying (if you use a washing machine first, select a high spin cycle). Doing this will save time and energy during drying.

• Always dry full loads - you save energy: single items or small loads take longer to dry.

• Clean the filter after each use to contain energy consumption costs (see Maintenance).

Use a Flexible metal vent tube. Do not use a plastic vent tube. Do not block or obstruct the tube in installation.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in death

or ﬁ re.

Care and maintenance

Disconnecting the power supply

! Disconnect the dryer when not in use or during cleaning and maintenance operations.

Cleaning the filter after each cycle

The filter is a fundamental component of the dryer: its function is to collect lint and fluff that form during drying.

Clean the filter once drying is completed, by rinsing it under running water or cleaning it with a vacuum cleaner. Should the filter become clogged, the flow of air inside the dryer will

be seriously hampered: drying times becomes longer and more energy is consumed. Moreover, the dryer may

become damaged.

The filter is located

behind of the dryer seal

(see Picture).

Checking the drum after each cycle

Rotate the drum manually to remove smaller items (handkerchiefs) that could have been left inside the dryer.

Cleaning the drum

! Avoid using abrasives, steel wool or stainless steel cleaning

agents to clean the drum. A coloured film may appear on the stainless steel drum surface: it may be caused by a combination of water and/or cleaning agents such as fabric conditioners. This coloured film does not affect the dryer’s performance.

Cleaning the tumble dryer

• The external metal and plastic parts and the rubber parts can be cleaned with the aid of a damp cloth.

• Periodically check the vent hose and all other parts of the venting system and remove any accumulations of fluff and lint.

! Do not use solvents or abrasives. ! Have the dryer checked regularly by authorised tech-

nical personnel in order to ensure that the electrical and mechanical parts work safely (see Assistance).

Removing the filter:

1. Pull the filter’s plastic handle upwards (see

Picture).

2. Clean the fluff off the filter and replace it correctly. Ensure that the filter is pushed fully home.

! Do not use the dryer unless the filter has been replaced in

its holder.

Sorting laundry

• Check the symbols on the care labels of the various

garments to verify whether the garments can be safely tumble dried.

• Sort laundry according to the type of fabric.

• Empty all pockets and check for loose buttons.

• Close zips and hooks and fasten belts and strings without tightening them.

• Wring out garments to remove the maximum amount of water possible.

Do not load the dryer when garments are dripping wet.

Maximum load sizes

Do not overload the drum. The following values indicate the weight of dry garments: Natural fibres: maximum kg Synthetic fibres: maximum kg

! Do not overload the dryer as this may result is reduced drying performance.

Care labels

Always check the care labels, especially when placing garments in the tumble dryer for the first time. Below are the most commonly used symbols:

May be tumble dried.

Do not tumble dry.

Drying times

Drying times are approximate and may vary depending on the following:

• Amount of water retained by items after the spin cycle: towels and delicate items retain a lot of water.

• Fabrics: items of the same fabric, but with different texture and thickness may have different drying times.

• Amount of laundry: single items and small loads may take longer to dry.

• Drying: if items are to be ironed, they can be removed from the dryer while still slightly damp. Items that require complete drying can be left longer.

• Heat setting.

• Temperature of the room: the lower the temperature of the room, the longer it will take for the dryer to dry clothing.

• Bulk: certain bulky items require special care during the drying process. We suggest removing these items and replacing them in the dryer once they have been shaken out: repeat this procedure several times during the course of the drying cycle.

! Do not over-dry items. All fabrics contain natural dampness which helps to keep them soft and fluffy.

Tumble dry – high heat.

Tumble dry – low heat.

• DO NOT dry items such as bibs and nappy pants with plastic coverings.

Delay Timer - Crease Care or Sound

• With this programme you can remove dust easier and wash the cuddly toys more often because the drying time is very much reduced compared to drying in the open air. It is a delicate drying cycle that dries at low temperature and with soft mechanical action to maintain at best the original look and shine of the fur.

Note: For allergy protection, just freeze cuddly toys for 24 hours then wash and dry them. Repeat every 6 weeks.

• Before drying remove accessories such as clothes, collars or sound boxes and protect plastic eyes with masking tape after drying them with a cloth.

• The programme time will vary dependant on the exact make up of the load. The maximum load should not exceed 2.5 kg and no individual item should be greater than 600 g.

Delay Timer - Sound

• This programme helps to heat towels & bathrobes for a warm sensation after a bath or shower. It is also useful for

warming clothes before dressing during winter. The cycle heats clothes to 37°C (Body Temperature) and runs at this temperature for a maximum of 4 hours or until you stop the cycle by opening the door.

Note: During this programme a icon rotates in the display until the target temperature is reached, at which point the icon flashes.

• Easy Iron is a short 10 minute programme (8 minutes of heat followed by a 2 minutes 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 results:
