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.
B) By amount and thickness

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.)
