! 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

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.

Door Reversal Instructions

Hinge

Door latch

Door catch

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).

Before you start using your dryer

Once you have installed your dryer and before you use it, clean the inside of the drum to remove any dust that could have accumulated during transport.

Laundry

Sorting your laundry

●

Check symbols on clothing labels to make sure that the articles can be tumble dried.

●

Sort laundry by fabric type.

●

Empty pockets and check buttons.

●

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.

Typical load

Note: 1kg = 1000g 1lb = 16oz Clothes

Blouse Cotton 150g 5oz

Other 100g 3oz

Dress Cotton 500g 1lb 2oz

Other 350g 12oz Jeans 700g 1lb 6oz 10 nappies 1000g 2lb 3oz Shirt Cotton 300g 10oz

Other 200g 7oz T-Shirt 125g 4oz

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

Do not tumble dry

Tumble dry at high heat setting

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 rainwear), any other flammable articles or objects that contain flammable substances (towels soiled with hair spray).

●

Glass fibres (certain types of draperies)

●

Items which have been dry cleaned

●

Items with the ITCL Code (see 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.

Household Items

Duvet cover Cotton 1500g 3lb 5oz (Double) Other 1000g 2lb 3oz Large Tablecloth 700g 1lb 6oz Small Tablecloth 250g 9oz Tea Towel 100g 3oz Bath Towel 700g 1lb 6oz Hand Towel 350g 12oz Double Sheet 500g 1lb 2oz Single Sheet 350g 12oz

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.

●

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.

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:

Cottons / High (full) Heat Drying times 800-1000rpm in washing machine

Half Load Full Load

1kg 2kg 3kg 4kg 5kg 6kg 30-40 40-55 55-70 70-80 80-90 95-120

Synthetics Low (gentle) Heat Drying times on reduced spin in washing machine

Half Load Full Load

1kg 2kg 3kg 40-50 50-70 70-90

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.
