INSTALLATION

Position the tumble dryer so that the plug remains accessible after installation. Do not block the vent at
the front or base of the dryer, as this will impair the working of the machine. This appliance must not be
installed behind a lockable door, a sliding door or a door with hinges on the opposite side to that of the
tumble dryer.

TUMBLE DRYER VENTING

Your tumble dryer will release warm, damp air in one of three ways.

1) EXTENDABLE REAR VENTING - A long flexible vent hose is built into the dryer and can be

extended from the large opening at the rear of the machine

2) FIXED REAR VENTING - Venting is through the large opening at the bottom of the rear panel. A
separate extendible vent hose can be attached if desired.

3) FRONT VENTING - This is a special type of dryer which vents through a grille on the plinth. The
opening on the rear panel is blanked off during manufacturing.
Rear vented dryers can be used without a vent hose but not in a confined space. Rear vented machines
must have a vent hose if they are installed under a work surface. To minimise condensation it is
preferable to vent through a vent to outside. This may be through an open door or window. The best
solution is to connect the vent hose to a permanent connection through a wall or a single glazed
window.
This is particularly recommended for small, cool rooms. A kit for this purpose is available as an
accessory. Front venting machines must be converted to extendible rear venting before a perm anent
connection can be made to the outside.
When using a vent hose, remember the following points :
The vent hose must be at least 10cm (4 ins) in diameter.
No more than three right-angled bends should be allowed when positioning the vent hose.
Do not distort or constrict the vent hose as this will reduce the airflow.
The vent hose must not be shared with other appliances, for example, a cooker hood outlet.

FINAL INSTALLATION

Push the filter into its operating position as shown in
the diagram. If you wish to change the side on which
your door opens, see the instructions on the back
page. Remove any dust by wiping the drum and door
with a damp cloth. Any initial smell of burning will
be caused by dust on the heater and will quickly
disappear.

THE CONTROLS

A. THE TIMER

Select the required drying time based on the recommendations on the control panel.

B. HEAT SWITCH(ES) Select the required heat setting based on the recommendations on the

control panel.

C. START BUTTON (IF FITTED) Press Start button after closing the door and selecting the

required drying time.

PREPARATION

Check care labels inside the garments.

CARE LABELS YOU MAY FIND ON YOUR FABRICS

Do not tumble dry woollen or wool mixture articles unless the article is labelled as being suitable .This
should avoid shrinkage.
Place delicate articles, e.g.tights, scarves, inside a pillowcase.
To avoid the need to iron easycare polyester/cotton items it is better to only dry small loads (i.e. half fill
drum) It is better to dry small and large articles together.
Fabric softeners, or similar products, should be used as specified by the fabric softener instructions. Do
not overload the dryer or dry large bulky items such as duvets or sleeping bags as it is important that the
airflow through the dryer is not obstructed.
The final part of a tumble dryer cycle occurs without heat (cool down cycle) to ensure that the items are
left at a temperature that ensures that the items will not be damaged.
Items that have been soiled with substances such as cooking oil, acetone, alcohol, petrol, kerosene, spot
removers, turpentine, waxes and wax removers should be washed in hot water with an extra amount of
detergent before being dried in the tumble dryer.
Items such as foam rubber (latex foam), shower caps, waterproof textiles, rubber backed articles and
clothes or pillows fitted with foam rubber pads should not be dried in the tumble dryer.

OPERATION

Open the door.
Load clothes loosely into the drum.
Load sheets first, starting with one corner.
Close the door.
Dry your hands.
Check that the timer is in the ‘0’position.
Plug in the machine.
Select correct heat position, (see programme chart on control panel for recommendations).
Set the timer to the required time setting (see programme chart on control panel for recommendations).
For energy labeling purposes (EN61121:2005) for a cotton dry load, use the maximum load weight for
cotton and set the timer to the recommended drying time for cotton dry as specified on the control panel.
Press the start button if fitted.
The drum will begin rotating. Reversing drum models will stop periodically to rotate in the reverse
direction for a short time.
Should the clothes become dry before the cycle has finished, or if an excessive programme time has been
selected, the drum will continue to rotate while the thermostat will automatically regulate the heater to
reduce the risk of over drying.
If the door is opened during a cycle the dryer will stop. To restart, close the door and press the start button
(if fitted).When drying large items such as sheets, we suggest you periodically stop the dryer to
redistribute the load.
There is an automatic 12 minute cool down period at the end of every cycle, during which the heater is
switched off. This helps to minimize creasing, and must always be used fully to avoid the risk of fire.

NEVER SWITCH THE DRYER OFF AND LEAVE A HOT LOAD IN THE DRUM. RISK OF
FIRE.
ALWAYS CLEAN THE FILTER AFTER EACH USE. Failure to do so could cause the safety cut-out

to operate.

- Pull the filter upwards and away from the appliance.

- Remove any threads or fluff by hand or with a soft brush.

- Slide the filter back.

ANY PROBLEMS

If the clothes are not dry after normal drying time:
–Check that you used the correct heat setting.
–Check that you have not set the timer within a cool down period.
–Check that the lint filter has been cleaned. A blocked filter will restrict the airflow.
–Check that your dryer is heating - below the door to the left side, should feel warm to the touch after the
first 10-15 minutes of its programme.

- Wash the filter occasionally in detergent solution using a soft brush to
remove small particles.

- If your filter becomes damaged, replace it to ensure no damage is caused to
the dryer.

Failure to heat may indicate the safety cut-out has operated. To reset, simply press the red button at the
rear of the machine. If it has operated then a sharp “click” will be heard.
This cut-out only operates if the airflow is severely restricted so make sure the filter is clean, the air inlets
and outlets at the front and back are not blocked, and that all other restrictions are removed before re­starting.
If the cut-out continues to operate after checking the above points, you should contact your service agent.
Check that the machine has the correct weight load in the drum before stating the appliance.
If your machine does not work check the following before calling a service engineer:-

- Check that there is a supply of electricity.

- Check that the door has been properly closed and the machine is switched on (start button pressed, if
fitted).

- Check the fuse in the moulded plug.
