(for example: sleeping bags, duvets).
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.

●Synthetics Max. 3.5 kg
8
40001828.qxd 02/09/2004 17:18 Page 9
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

40001828.qxd 02/09/2004 17:18 Page 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).

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.

12
40001828.qxd 02/09/2004 17:19 Page 13
Water Container
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 
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 out the tray until it is completely removed. Support the tray with both hands. When it is full the water container will weigh about 4kg.
2.Open the the lid located on the top of the container and empty the water out. Refit the lid and slide the water container back into position. PUSH FIRMLY INTO PLACE.
NOTE: If you have the option of drainage near the dryer it is possible to use the discharge kit to provide a permanent drain for the water collected by the dryer. This will remove the need to empty the water tray. All the information for assembly of the kit is contained in the kit envelope.
13
40001828.qxd 02/09/2004 17:19 Page 14
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 (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.

Selecting the Programme
The Sensor Dry machine gives many options for drying the laundry to suit all circumstances.
The table below lists the programmes and the function of each programme.
Programme |
Description |
|
|
|
|
Bone Dry |
Select the degree of dryness that you require. |
|
Extra Dry |
This ranges from Bone Dry for bath towels and |
|
Cupboard Dry |
bathrobes, through Cupboard Dry for items that |
|
will be put away without ironing, to the |
||
Iron Dry |
||
programmes that leave the laundry suitable for |
||
Medium Dry |
||
ironing. |
||
Damp Dry |
|
|
|
|
|
Fast Iron |
The Fast Iron programme 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 Fast Iron |
|
|
process relaxes the creases in the fabric making |
|
|
ironing quicker and easier. |

Note: The sensor may not detect a small load of small articles. For small loads and separate items or pre-dried fabrics with low moisture content, use the timed programmes. Set the programme between 30 and 75 minutes depending on the load size and dryness required, and select high or low heat depending upon the fabric type.
If the sensor does not detect the item the dryer will only operate for 10 minutes before going into cooldown.
If the load is too large or too wet to tumble dry the dryer will automatically go into cooldown after 180 minutes.
15
40001828.qxd 02/09/2004 17:19 Page 16
Operation
1.Open the door and load the drum with laundry. Ensure that garments do not hinder closure of the door.
2.Gently close the door pushing it slowly until you hear the door 'click' shut.
3.Press the 
button to switch on the dryer. The indicator will light up and the START indicator will flash.
4.Turn the Programme Selector dial to select the required drying program (see Programme Guide).
5.If drying synthetics, acrylics or delicate items, press the 
button to reduce the heat level.
The light above the push button will light up when the machine is in low heat setting. To deselect this status when the drying cycle has started it is necessary to reset the machine.
6.Press the START button. The dryer will start automatically and the START indicator will be continuously lit.
7.The 
display will show the drying progress in terms of time remaining.
8.If the door is opened during the programme to check the laundry, it is necessary to press START to recommence drying after the door has been closed.
9.When the 15' indicator is lit the machine will enter the cool down phase, the clothes will be tumbled in cool air allowing the load to cool down.
10.When the programme is complete the STOP indicator will light.
Cancelling and resetting the programme
To cancel a programme press the START button for 5 seconds. The machine will indicate that it has been reset by the START indicator flashing. It is possible to change the programme within the first 10 minutes without using the cancel and reset function.
Start Delay
The Delay Start Function 
allows the user to delay the start of the drying cycle by 6 or 9 hours.
When the function is first selected the display will show a delay of 6 hours, a subsequent press of the button will increase the delay to 9 hours.
16
40001828.qxd 02/09/2004 17:19 Page 17
To commence the programme press START and the appliance will complete the drying cycle at the end of this time. The 6 or 9 hour indicator light will flash to indicate that the start delay is in progress.
