Sorting fabrics
(2) Materials suitable for tumble drying
For the best drying results, clothes should be sorted properly. Separate
the lint shedders (chenille and terry cloth) from the lint collectors
(synthetics, flannel and fabrics with a nap, such as velveteen and
corduroy). Separate non-colorfast from light colored items, heavy fabrics
from light weight fabrics and permanent press from heavy, bulky items.
Do not tumble dry
Read all permanent care labels carefully. If a garment's care label
says "Drip Dry", "Line Dry" or "Dry Flat", do not dry in the dryer.
Certain materials will melt or become dangerously flammable if heated,
while others may lose their shape. Other items that should not be tumble
dried are:
• Items that have been dry-cleaned at home
• Wool (unless the garment's manufacturer recommends it)
• Fiberglass
• Laminated or rubber coated items
• Vinyl and plastic
• Do not use fabric softeners or products to eliminate static
unless recommended by the manufacturer of the fabric
softener or product.
Do not allow children to play on or in the appliance. Close supervision of
children is necessary when the appliance is used near children.

3 Set the required program
using the program knob
Which program to use
The program to be used depends on what is to be
done with the washing after tumbie-drying. Two
automatic programs are provided: 'Extra Dry' and
'Dry', if washing is not to be dried compieteiy,
i.e. because it is to be ironed, it is a good idea to
use the time program instead. Either of the
operating temperatures (Low or Normai) is avaiiabie
with either of the automatic programs or with the
time program.
4 Press the main On/Off switch
and the Start pushbutton
(The indicating lamp will light)
The Start pushbutton springs out
again after use.
Turn the program
knob clockwise to
the required pro
gram. A program
can be stopped at
any time by turn
ing the knob to
the 0 position
When you want
dry fabrics:
2) Dry
This program turns off the heat
when the washing is dry but not
absolutely bone-dry. It is then
cooled for about 15 minutes. This
is the program to use when you
want dry fabrics.
1) Extra dry
This automatic program is intended
for use with washing that is ex
tremely difficult to dry, i.e. jeans
with very thick seams. The heat
is turned off when the washing is
completely dry, and is followed
by a cooling period of about
15 minutes.
If washing is not dry
after tumble-drying
When using the automatic pro
grams, it can happen that not all of
the washing is properly dry. This
may be due to such reasons as
very heavy fabrics or thick seams.
To dry these items, give them a
further period of drying in the
timed program for about 10
minutes. Also, do not overload the
dryer. If a dryer is overloaded, its
efficiency is lessened and clothes
may not dry evenly.
When you want
to iron:
3) Timed program
The timed program can be set for
any desired heating time up to one
hour. At the end of the preset time,
the washing is cooled for
about a further 15 minutes.
Permanent press hints
For the most wrinkle free perma
nent press drying, only dry one
half load at a time to assure
enough room for items to tumble
freely. Do not combine perma
nent press items with other very
heavy clothes in the dryer.
Remove clothes immediately
after the drying cycle is complete
and either hang them up or lay
them flat.
Do not over-dry
When using the timed program, it
is possible to over-dry fabrics, if
too long a time has been set. This
can cause the fabrics to wrinkle,
shrink, or feel harsh. Synthetic
materials can also become charged
with static electricity.
When you want
to air fabrics:
4) Airing program,
cold
This program cannot be combined
with heating. It is used to shake
the dust out of garments, air them
or soften them up.
Dryer added fabric softeners
Because some dryer added fabric
softeners may cause damage to
automatic dryers, use only one
that the manufactures give a
written assurance that their
softener can safely be used in
your dryer.
Single items
Use the timed program when there
is only one item to be dried. This
is because the automatic program
may turn off the heating too early,
so that the item is not properly
dried.

If you want to check how
dry washing is:
Open the door.
The drum stops automatically
and will not restart until you
close the door and press
the Start pushbutton.
When the dryer has stopped:
• Remove the washing
• Clean the lint filter
• Turn off the power at the
main On/Off pushbutton
switch
If the machine
does not work
The machine will not start
Check that:
•The front door is properly closed.
•The main On/Off pushbutton is
pressed in.
•The electric plug is firmly inserted in
its socket (if the machine is not
permanently wired in).
•Aii fuses are intact.
NOTEi
If the machine still fails to start, it is
probable that the overheating cutout
has operated. It switches off the
tumbler if the temperature is too high.
For example if dust has blocked the
lint filter. Clean the filter and reset the
overheating protection switch by
pressing the rubber disc on the back
of the machine.
Cleaning
the lint filter
The lint filter must be cleaned after
each time the machine has been
used. If this is not done, drying
performance will suffer, as insuffi
cient air will pass through the drum.
The machine may also overheat: this
will cause it to stop automatically.
holes near the center and pull it
off the peg on which it is
supported in the front door.
Take the filter out of the holder
and brush away the lint in it by
hand.
NOTE: Wear and tear of fabrics in a
tumble dryer is insignificant.
The lint caught in the lint
filter is dust and fiber
residue that has been
formed when the garments
have been used.
Replace the filter in the holder
and refit the holder in position on
the peg in the door.
The machine starts, but
will not continue to run
If the machine starts when the Start
button is pressed, but stops as soon
as the button is released, it indicates
that the overheating cutout has
operated. Clean the lint filter and
allow the machine to cool down.
Excessive drying times
Check that the lint filter is not block
ed. Do not overload the dryer. Items
to be tumble-dried must first have
been spin-dried, preferably at 800
r/min or more
Note!
Clean lint collecting near the
tumble dryer as it can be sucked
into the air intake.

How the dryer works
® Air is drawn in from the
room through the bottom of
the machine.
@ An electric heater heats the
air passing into the drum.
(D Warm air enters the drum
through holes in the back
and dries the washing. The
drum rotates, and the two
paddles prevent garments
from becoming tangled.
@ The air passes through the
lint filter at the front of the
drum and enters the fan.
Air is forced out through the
outlet you have selected
through a fixed duct (see
page 11).
The temperature remains at
approximately 40°C (104°F) as
long as the clothes are moist.
When the clothes dry, the
temperature rises and the heater
element is automatically switch
ed off at the preset temperature.
The air that is not heated is
then drawn through the drum
and cools the clothes for about
15 minutes.
The thermostats which switch
off the heating at normal and
low temperature (60°C (140°F)
Safety
The dryer must not be used to
dry fabrics which may contain
residues of flammable liquids.
The dryer door has a magnetic
lock, which means that it can
be opened from the inside. A
door switch automatically stops
the dryer if the door is opened.
The machine does not start
automatically if the door is
45°C (113°F)) are fitted next to
the fan. There are also two
thermostats next to the heater
element. One switches off the
heater element if the tempera
ture becomes too high and the
other switches off the complete
tumble dryer if a fault occurs.
closed, i.e. if a child should get
into the drum and close the
door from the inside. In order to
restart the machine, the Start
pushbutton must be pressed.
The machine is protected by a
thermostat fitted by the heating
element, which turns the
machine off if the temperature is
too high.
This overheating protection,
which is fitted at the rear of the
machine, can be reset when the
temperature has fallen. Refer to
the section entitled "If the
machine does not work" (pg. 5).

Drying times
and energy consumption
Drying times and
energy consumption
The table on the right shows drying
times and energy consumption in
accordance with the following
conditions:
• Program 2 has been used
(the normal, 'Dry' automatic
program).
• Drying temperature: Normal.
• Fabrics dried are of cotton,
previously spun at 800 r/min.
• The dryer is in a room with a
temperature of 20“C (68“F), and
the exhaust hose supplied with
the machine is in use.
Drying times
Drying time depends on many factors
such as the amount of washing,
moisture content, type of fabric,
incoming air temperature and
humidity. Performance can also be
affected by how the machine has
been installed. Drying time is also
naturally affected by how dry the
washing is to be when removed from
the machine.
Connection to a ventilation duct
Electrical
Installation
Electrical installation must be
carried out by a skilled electri
cian. As supplied, the machine is
arranged for single-phase.
Connection as delivered:
1-phase, 208/230 V,
heater power 2850 W,
15 A fuse required.
NOTE: Follow all state and
local codes.
To install washer/dryer into a single
30A 208/240V wall receptical:
1. Remove top of washer - by
removing three 25 torx screws.
2. Using power cord attached to
dryer, thread through power cord
restraint on washer. Attach to
terminal block on bulk Head.
NOTE: This should be at the top of
the terminal block.
3. Remove knock-out plug on bulk
head of washer. Install dryer cord
30A 250V AWG 10/3 through
knock-out to terminal block.
4. Replace top to washer and
test units.
Connect the exhaust hose from
the tumble dryer to a ventilation
exhaust fitting or to a discharge
through the wall.
Secure the hose joint to the outlet
stub on the machine.
Run the hose, with as few bends as
possible to the point of discharge. If
necessary, it can be extended to a
maximum of 8.75 yards of 4"
diameter hose.
Make any bends as gentle as possi
ble. A maximum of four 90® bends
may be fitted in the hose. The more
bends and the longer the hose, the
less will be the amount of air pass
ing through the machine.
If more than 8.75 yards of hose is
needed, diameter must be increased.
If the hose is taken to a wall outlet,
a ventilation grille should be fitted to
prevent reverse flow of cold air.
IMPORTANT:
The appliance should
not be exhausted into
a chimney, a wall, a
ceiling, or a concealed
space of a building.
The only rigid of flexible metal duct should be
used for exhausting, unless the appliance has
been investigated for use with nonmetallic duct.

How much air does the dryer
need?
The dryer needs about 196 cubic yds.
of fresh air per hour. The room in
which it is installed must therefore
have a sufficient air change rate to
ensure that the machine receives
enough fresh air.
