IMPORTANT: This dryer must be installed such that the air inlets and outlets are not restricted (fig. 1).
There should be a gap of at least 12mm (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.
Warning:
Do not overload the drum, large items when wet can exceed the maximum admissible clothes load (for example: sleeping bags, duvets).
Maximum drying weight
Cottons Max. 5 kg
Synthetics Max. 2.5 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.

6. Press the ‘START/PAUSE’ button. The dryer will start automatically and the ‘HEATING’ indicator will light.
Drying sensor
A sensor will detect when the load is dry. The drying cycle will then go into the cooldown period and the ‘COOLING’ indicator will light.
After 10 minutes of cooldown the drum will stop rotating automatically.
Note: (i) 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, utilise the timed programmes. Set the programme between 30 and 75 minutes depending upon the load size and dryness required and select high or low heat depending upon the fabric type. If this is not carried out the dryer will only operate for 10 minutes before going into cooldown.
(ii) If the sensor does not operate, for example when a load is too large or too wet to tumble dry, the dryer will automatically go into cooldown after 180 minutes.
The dryer can be set to start up to 9 hours after the program has been set.
To set the time delay option press and release the ‘DELAY START’ button until the required delay (shown in hours) appears on the display and then press the ‘START/PAUSE’ button. The display will flash.
As each hour passes the figure shown on the display will count down. When it gets to 0 the dryer will start.
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 ‘ON/OFF’ button to switch on the dryer. The indicator will light.
4. Turn the ‘PROGRAM’ dial to select the required drying program:
e.g. if you are drying cotton laundry and would like it suitable for ironing please select the iron dry option.
The FAST IRON setting shown by the symbol on the ‘PROGRAM’ dial provides a conditioning and anti-crease 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.
5. If drying delicate items on the ‘timed’ programs press the ‘HEAT SETTING’ button to reduce the heat level. Press again on completion, to select high temperature.
If airing or drying very delicate items select the REFRESH option on the ‘drying time’ dial .

The delay can be changed at any time simply by pressing the button until the new figure appears on the display.
If there is an interruption to the electricity supply the time delay will be lost and so will have to be re-set when the power is restored.
7. To switch off the buzzer, which sounds at the end of each cycle, press the ‘ALARM’ button.
8. 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. During this time the ‘COOLING’ indicator is lit.
9. When the program is fully completed the drum will stop rotating. The dial remains at the position of the selected program. The ‘COOLING’ indicator will flash and the buzzer will sound.
10.Open the door and remove the load.
If the load is not removed from the dryer at the end of the
drying cycle, a
‘creaseguard’ function is activated.
Every 15 minutes the dryer will tumble the load for 5 seconds and the buzzer will sound.
This process will be repeated until the ‘creaseguard’ function is cancelled by opening the door.
11. Clean the filter and empty the water container after every drying cycle to ensure maximum dryer efficiency. (See ‘Filter’ and ‘Water Container’ sections.)
12. Clean the condenser after approximately every 10 drying cycles to ensure maximum dryer efficiency. (See ‘Condenser’ section.)
