Installation requirements

IMPORTANT: This dryer must be installed such that the air inlets and outlets are not restricted (fig. 1).

1 - Supply cord 2 - Air inlets 3 - Air outlets There should be a gap of at least 12 mm

(0.5 inches) between the sides rear and base of the machine and the surrounding walls, cabinets and floor.

To ensure adequate ventilation the space between the bottom of the machine and the floor must not be obstructed.

NEVER install the dryer up against curtains.

Prevent items from falling or collecting behind and beneath the dryer as these may obstruct the air inlets and outlets.

Preparing the load

Before using the dryer for the first time wipe the inside of the drum and door with a damp cloth.

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.

Clothes preparation

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.

Do not overload the drum, particularly when drying large items, otherwise, the laundry may stick to the drum and not dry evenly.

Maximum drying weight

● Cottons Max. 7 kg

● Synthetics Max. 3.5 kg

Sort the load as follows:

A) By care symbols

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.

B) By amount and thickness

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

C) 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.

40001731English.fm Page 7 Monday, September 6, 2004 4:21 PM

D) By drying level

● Sort into: iron dry, cupboard dry, etc.

● For delicate articles press the

‘DELICATES’ button to select low drying temperature ( ).

● For airing or drying very delicate

articles select the airing option on the dial ( ).

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.

IMPORTANT: Do not dry articles which have been treated with a dry cleaning fluid or rubber clothes (danger of fire or explosion).

Energy saving

Only put into the tumble dryer laundry which has been thoroughly wrung or spindried. 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.

NEVER exceed the maximum weight, this will waste time and electricity.

ALWAYS check that the filter is clean before every drying cycle as this aids efficiency.

NEVER put dripping wet items into the tumble dryer, this may damage the appliance and waste time and efficiency.

Water Container

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

We recommend that the container is emptied after each drying cycle.

To remove the container:

1. Gently pull the bottom of the kickplate so that it unclips from the dryer (fig. 5). 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 (fig. 6). Support the container with both hands. When full, the water container will weigh about 4 kg (fig. 7).

3. Open the lid located on the top of the container and empty the water (fig. 8).

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.

Condenser

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 (fig. 5).

2. Turn the two locking levers anticlockwise (fig. 9).

3. Pull out the condenser unit (fig. 10).

4. Gently remove any dust or fluff with a cloth, then wash the unit by holding it under a running tap (fig. 11) turning it so that water flows between the plates, to remove any dust or fluff.

5. Refit the condenser ensuring it is pushed firmly into place. Lock the two levers by turning them clockwise.

6. Refit the kickplate.

Operation

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

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

HIGH Heat setting

LOW Heat setting

3. Turn ‘DRYING TIME’ dial until the required drying time aligns with the symbol ▼.

The Pre-ironing setting shown by the symbol on the ‘DRYING TIME’ dial provides a conditioning and anticrease function. The dryer will heat the load for 9 minutes followed by a 3 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. The PRE-IRONING process relaxes the creases in the fabric making ironing quicker and easier.

4. Gently close the door pushing it slowly until you hear the door ‘click’ shut.

5. Press the ‘ON’ button. The indicator will light and the drying cycle begins.

6. The load is dried by tumbling in thermostatically controlled warm air. Cool air is used for the last 10 minutes to reduce creasing and cool the load ready for handling.

7. When the program is fully completed the drum will stop rotating and the dial will point to the symbol ▼.

Open the door and remove the load.

WARNING!

THE DRUM, DOOR AND LOAD

MAY BE VERY HOT.

8. Clean the filter and empty the water container after every drying cycle to ensure maximum dryer efficiency. (See ‘Filter’ and ‘Water Container’ sections.)

9. Clean the condenser after approximately every 10 drying cycles to ensure maximum dryer efficiency. (See ‘Condenser’ section.)
