DRAIN HOSE : FITTING INSTRUCTIONS
To avoid emptying the water container after each drying cycle, the water 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 should be located adjacent to the tumble dryer.
5. Pl a c e t h e t a p supplied by the kit to cl ose the re main g hose.
The kit consists of:1 hose and 1 tap.
WARNING! Switch off and remove the tumble dryer plug from the electricity supply before carrying out any work.
Fit the Hose as Follows:
1. Ti lt the mac hin e backwards.
2. The waste water
pipe is situated at the right-hand side of the machi n e (see t h e picture). A grey hose connects to the bridge
at the left hand side of the machine. Using
pliers, remove the pipe retaining clip from the bridge.
3. Pull the hose off the bridge connection.
6. Once the machine is in place the feet should be adjusted to ensure that the new hose does
not kink when pushing the tumble dryer into position.
7. Connect the new drain hose to the waste Water pipe.
8. Connect to the m a in s e l e c t r ic i ty supply.
4. Attach the black hose from the kit, (using the connector a n d p i p e c l i p s supplied), to the hose rem o ved from the bridge connection.

PREPARING THE LOAD
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.
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. 8 kg
Synthetics Max. 4 kg
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
Sort into: iron dry, cupboard dry, etc. For delicate articles press the Delicates button to select low drying temperature.

SELECTING THE PROGRAMME

EN
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.

DESCRIPTION
Select the degree of dryness that you require. This ranges from
for bath towels and bathrobes, through for items that will be put away without ironing, to the programme that leaves the laundry suitable for ironing.
A gentle programme specially created to get woollens softer after air-drying.This delicate warm air cycle, lasting 12 minutes, can also be used to get woollens 'refreshed' after being stored in the wardrobe.
The 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. This programme relaxes the creases in the fabric making ironing quicker and easier.
The 40’ Rapid programme allows a drying cycle to be completed quickly. This is an ideal programme for having dry, refreshed and ready-to-wear clothes in less than 40'. This special programme constantly monitors the dryness and temperature in the drum thanks to the sensor using, using the exact time and energy you need! The machine finishes the cycle when the cupboard dry level is reached. The stated cycle length could vary according to fabric types, load size and residual moisture in the garments.The maximum load is 2kg and the programme is suitable for all types of fabric where tumble drying is appropriate.
