Adequate ventilation must be provided in the
room where the tumble dryer is located to
prevent gases from appliances burning other
fuels, including open fires, being drawn into the

from obstructions. To ensure adequate
ventilation the space between the bottom
of the machine and the floor must not be
obstructed. There should be a gap of at
least 12mm between the machine and any

Before using the tumble dryer for the first time:

● Please read this instruction book thoroughly.

● Remove all items packed inside drum.

● Wipe the inside of the drum and door with

a damp cloth to remove any dust which may
have settled in transit.

Clothes preparation

Make sure that the laundry you are going to dry
is suitable for drying in a tumble dryer, as shown
by the care symbols on each item.

Check that all fastenings are closed and that
pockets are empty. Turn the articles inside out.
Place clothes loosely in the drum to make sure
that they don't get tangled.

Maximum drying weight

● Cottons Max. 7 kg

● Synthetics Max. 3 kg

8

Preparing the load

Do not overload

the drum, large

items when wet

can exceed the

maximum

admissible

clothes load

(for example:

sleeping bags,

duvets).

40003894Eng.qxd 22/09/2005 11:29 Page 8

Sort the load as follows:

● By care symbols

These can be found on the collar or inside
seam:

Suitable for tumble drying.

Tumble drying at high temperature.

Tumble drying at low temperature only.

Do not tumble dry.

If the item does not have a care label it
must be assumed that it is not suitable
for tumble drying.

● By amount and thickness

Whenever the load is bigger than the dryer
capacity, separate clothes according to
thickness (e.g. towels from thin underwear).

● By type of fabric

Cottons/linen: Towels, cotton jersey, bed and

table linen.

Synthetics: Blouses, shirts, overalls, etc.
made of polyester or polyamid, as well as
for cotton/synthetic mixes.

● By drying level

Sort into: iron dry, cupboard dry, etc. For
delicate articles press the Acrylics Synthetics
button to select low drying temperature.

9

40003894Eng.qxd 22/09/2005 11:29 Page 9

Do not tumble dry:

Woollens, silk, delicate fabrics, nylon stockings,
delicate embroidery, fabrics with metallic
decorations, garments with PVC or leather
trimmings, training shoes, bulky items such as
sleeping bags, etc.

Energy saving

Only put into the tumble dryer laundry which has
been thoroughly wrung or spin-dried. The drier
the laundry the shorter the drying time thus
saving electricity.

ALWAYS

● Try to dry the maximum weight of laundry,
this will save time and electricity.

● Check that the filter is clean before every
drying cycle.

NEVER

● Exceed the maximum weight, this will waste
time and electricity.

● Put dripping wet items into the tumble
dryer, this may damage the appliance.

10

Drying advice

IMPORTANT: Do

not dry articles

which have been

treated with a

dry cleaning fluid

or rubber clothes

(danger of fire or

explosion).

During the last
15 minutes the

load is always

tumbled in cool

air.

Door and Filter

WARNING!

When the tumble dryer is in use the

drum and door may be VERY HOT.

40003894Eng.qxd 22/09/2005 11:29 Page 12

The water removed from the laundry during the
drying cycle is collected in a container at the
bottom of the dryer.

When the container is full the Empty Water
indicator on the control panel will light, and the
container MUST be emptied. However, we
recommend that the container is emptied after
each drying cycle.

NOTE: Very little water will collect during the
first few cycles of a new machine as an internal
reservoir is filled first.

To remove the container

1. Gently pull the bottom of the kickplate so
that it unclips from the dryer. The top
section can then be unhinged allowing the
kickplate to be completely removed.

2. Pull firmly on the handgrip and slide the
water container out of the dryer.

Support the container with both hands. When
full, the water container will weigh about 4kg.

3. Open the lid located on the top of the
container and empty the water.

4. Refit the lid and slide the water container
back into position. PUSH FIRMLY INTO

PLACE.

5. Refit the kickplate by engaging the hinges

at the top and 'snapping' the lower clips
into place.

Important: Always switch off and remove the
plug from the electricity supply before cleaning
the condenser.

To maintain the efficiency of the dryer regularly
check that the condenser is clean.

To remove the
condenser

1. Remove the kickplate (see page 13).

2. Turn the two locking levers anti-clockwise

and pull out the condenser.

3. Pull out the condenser unit.

4. Gently remove any dust or fluff with a cloth,

then wash the unit by holding it under a
running tap turning it so that water flows
between the plates, to remove any dust or
fluff.

5. Refit the condenser ensuring it is in the
correct way (as indicated by the arrow) and
pushed firmly into place. Lock the two levers
by turning them clockwise.

6. Refit the kickplate.

Condenser

40003894Eng.qxd 22/09/2005 11:29 Page 14

Refer to the Drying guide table or the fabric
labels to select the most suitable programme.

● Open the door and load the drum with
laundry. Ensure that garments do not hinder
closure of the door.

● If drying delicate items press the Acrylics
Synthetics button to reduce the heat level.
Press again on completion, to select high
temperature.

HIGH heat setting
LOW heat setting

● Turn the 'DRYING TIME' Selector until the
required drying time aligns with the dial.

● The programme provides a conditioning
and anti-crease function. The dryer will heat
the load for 8 minutes followed by a
2 minute cool down period and is especially
good for garments which may have been
left for some time prior to ironing, in a linen
basket for example. Garments may also
become stiffened when dried outside on a
washing line or inside on radiators. This
process relaxes the creases in the fabric
making ironing quicker and easier.

● Gently close the door pushing it slowly until
you hear the door 'click' shut.

● Press the Start button. The indicator will
light and the drying cycle begins.

● The load is dried by tumbling in
thermostatically controlled warm air. Cool
air is used for the last 15 minutes to
reduce creasing and cool the load ready for
handling.

● When the program is fully completed the
drum will stop rotating and the dial will
point to 0.

● Open the door and remove the load.

● Clean the filter and empty the water

container after every drying cycle to ensure
maximum dryer efficiency.

● Clean the condenser after approximately
every 10 drying cycles to ensure maximum
dryer efficiency.

15

Operation

WARNING!

The drum, door

and load may be

very hot.

40003894Eng.qxd 22/09/2005 11:29 Page 15

Cleaning the dryer

● Clean the filter and empty the water
container after every drying cycle.

● Regularly clean the condenser.

● After each period of use, wipe the inside of

the drum and leave the door open for a
while to allow circulation of air to dry it.

● Wipe the outside of the machine and the
door with a soft cloth.

● DO NOT use abrasive pads or cleaning
agents.

● To prevent the door sticking or the build up
of fluff periodically clean the inner door and
gasket with a damp cloth.
