INSTALLATION
VENTILATION
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 room during operation of the tumble dryer.
●Exhaust air must not be discharged into a flue which is used for exhausting fumes from appliances burning gas or other fuels.
●Check regularly that the air flowing through the dryer is not restricted.
●Check the fluff filter after use, and clean, if necessary.
●The inlet and outlets should be kept free 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 obstructions.
●Prevent items from falling or collecting behind the dryer as these may obstruct the air inlet and outlet.
●NEVER install the dryer up against curtains.
Do not install the product in a low temperature room or in a room where there is a risk of frost occurring. At temperature around freezing point the product may not be able to operate properly: there is a risk of damage if the water is allowed to freeze in the hydraulic circuit (valves, hoses, pumps). For a better product performance the ambient room temperature must be between +2°C and +35°C. Please note that operating in cold condition (between +2 and +15°C) might imply some water condensation and water drops on floor.

DRAIN HOSE KIT: FITTING INSTRUCTIONS
To avoid having to empty the water container after each drying cycle, the water normally collected during the drying cycle can be discharged directly to a waste water drain pipe (the same drainage system as household sinks).Water Bye-Laws prohibit connection to a surface water drain. The waste water drain pipe system should be located adjacent to the tumble dryer.
The kit is composed: 1 hose, 1 straight hose connector, 1 pipe clip and 1 plastic tie.
WARNING! Switch off and remove the tumble dryer plug from the electricity supply before carrying out any work.
Fit the Kit as Follows:
1 . U n s c r e w a n d remove the 3 screws, at the rear of the machine, retaining the worktop trim.
2.Remove the rear worktop trim and the worktop surface by carefully sliding it towards the rear of the machine.
3.The waste water container is situated at the right-hand side of the machine (viewed from the rear). A grey hose connects to the bridge above the water container. Using pliers,
r e m o v e t h e p i p e retaining clip from the bridge.
4.Pull the hose off the bridge connection.
5.Attach the hose from the kit, using the connector and pipe clips supplied, to the hose removed from the bridge connection.
6.Take off the water container cover from the rear of the machine by removing the two screws and unclipping the cover.
7.Break off the tab on the side of the cover and replace the cover on the machine, refit the screws. You should now have revealed a hole in the back of the cabinet next to the Cover.
8.Feed the drain hose through the hole in the cabinet.
9.Locate the grey pipe in the cutout of the tray and secure the pipe assembly to the bridge with the plastic tie.
10.Carefully slide the worktop back into position ensuring that the hose is not trapped
a n d r e p l a c e t h e worktop rear trim with the 3 screws.
11.Connect the new drain hose to the waste water pipe. Make sure that the new hose does not kink when pushing the tumble dryer into position. Ensure that the guidelines, as shown, are followed when routing the new external hose.
12.Connect to the m a i n s e l e c t r i c i t y supply.
13.After emptying the waste water container switch the machine ON
(and press the 'START' button on electronic models) to commence w i t h t h e d r y i n g program.
EN 6
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.
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).
During the last 15 minutes the load is always tumbled in cool air.
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.
PREPARING THE LOAD
Maximum Drying Weight

SELECTING THE PROGRAMME
The Candy Sensor Dry machine gives many options for drying the laundry to suit all circumstances. The table on the next page lists the programmes and the function of each programme.
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.
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 approximately 3 hours.
In these cases we advise to use a time cycles between 30 and 75minutes depending on the load size and dryness required, and select high or low heat depending upon the fabric type.
