! 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 appliance works.
! Read these instructions carefully; the following pages contain important information on installation and suggestions
on how the appliance works.

Installation
GB
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.
Minimum gap 10mm
●
If you are going to install
the appliance under a work
counter, be sure to leave a
10mm space between the
Minimum gaps
15mm
top and any other objects
on or above the machine and
a 15mm 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.
Ventilation
When the dryer is in use, there has to be adequate
ventilation. Make sure you put your dryer in an
environment that is not damp and has proper air
circulation throughout. Airflow around the dryer is
essential to condense the water produced during the
washing, the dryer will not operate efficiently in an
enclosed space or cupboard.
! 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.
! If using the dryer in a small or cold room some
condensation could be experienced.

Water drain
If your dryer is installed next to a drain the water can be
plumbed into this drain. This does away with the need to
empty the water container. Simply remove the top hose
from its top fitting at the rear of the dryer and plumb the
hose provided to the drain.
Electrical connections
Make sure of the following before you insert the plug
into the the electrical socket:
●
The socket must be grounded.
●
The socket must be able to sustain the machines
maximum power, which is indicated on the rating
label (see Dryer Description).
●
Power voltage must be within the values indicated
on the rating label (see Dryer Description).
●
The socket must be compatible with the dryers 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 it is
exposed to rain or storms.
! Once installed, the dryers electrical wire and plug
must be within easy reach.
! Do not use extension cords.
! The power cord must not be bent or squashed.
! The power cord supplied should be checked
periodically and replaced by a cord specially prepared
for this dryer and fitted only by authorised technicians
(see Service). New or longer power cords are supplied
at an extra charge by authorised dealers.
! The manufacturer denies any responsibility should any
of these rules not be followed.
! If in doubt about any of the above consult a qualified
electrician.
Hinge
The door of your dryer is reversible and can easily be
changed. Exchange diagonally hinge brackets and
blanking screws. Exchange door latch and catch with
their opposite blanking plates (see diagram above).

that the articles can be tumble dried.
●
Sort laundry by fabric type.

Close zippers and hooks and tie loose belts and
strings.
●
Wring out each item in order to eliminate as much
excess water as possible.
! Do not load dripping wet clothes into the dryer.
Maximum load size
Do not load more than maximum capacity.
These numbers refer to dry weight:
Natural fibres: 6kg max (13lb)
Synthetic fibres: 3kg max (6.6lb)
! DO NOT overload the dryer as this could result in
reduced drying performance.

Tumble dry at low heat setting
Items not suitable for tumble drying
●
Articles that containing rubber or rubber-like
materials or plastic film (pillows, cushions, or PVC

that contain flammable substances (towels soiled
with hair spray).
●

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.

If this happens simply give them an additional short
period of drying.

Note: The last 10 minutes of any time set is the
Cool Tumble, so allow for this when setting the time,
as this period will not dry your laundry.

Special clothing items
Blankets and Bedspreads: acrylic items (Acilan,
Courtelle, Orion, Dralon) must be dried with special
care on LOW heat setting. Avoid drying for a long
period of time.
Pleated or creased garments: read the manufacturer’s
drying instructions on the garment.
Starched articles: do not dry these with non-starched
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.
Drying times
The table below presents APPROXIMATE drying times
in minutes. Weights refer to dry garments:

Drying times 800-1000rpm in washing machine

Times are approximate and can vary depending
upon:
●
Amount of water retained in clothes after spin
cycle: towels and delicates retain a lot of water.
●
Fabrics: items that are the same type of fabric but
different textures and thicknesses may not have
the same drying time.
●
Quantity of laundry: single items or small loads
may take longer to dry.
●
Dryness: If you are going to iron some of your
clothes, they can be taken out while still a bit
damp. Others can be left longer if you need them
to be completely dry.
●
Heat setting.
●
Room temperature: if the room where the dryer is
located is cold, it will take longer for the dryer to
dry your clothes.
●
Bulk: some bulky items can be tumble dried with
care. We suggest that you remove these items
several times, shake them out, and return them to
the dryer until finished.
! Do not over-dry your clothes.
All fabrics contain a little natural moisture, which
keeps them soft and fluffy.
