This appliance is marked according
to the European directive 2012/19/EU
on Waste Electrical and Electronic
Equipment (WEEE).
Electrical Requirements
Tumble dryers are supplied to operate at a
voltage of 220-240V, 50 Hz single phase. Check
that the supply circuit is rated to at least 10 A.
Electricity can be extremely dangerous.
This appliance must be earthed.

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.
yThe 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.Unscrew and
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,
remove the pipe
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
and replace the
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
mains electricity
supply.
13. After emptying the
waste water container
switch the machine ON
(and press the 'START'
button on electronic
models) to commence
with the drying
program.

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.
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
● Bycaresymbols.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.
● Byamountandthickness

capacity, separate clothes according to
thickness (e.g. towels from thin underwear).
●
Bytypeoffabric
Cottons/linen: Towels, cotton jersey, bed and

articles press the Delicates button to select low
drying temperature.
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.
Drying Guide

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.

DESCRIPTION
Select the degree of dryness that you require. This range 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.
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.
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 water removed from the laundry during the
drying cycle is collected in a container inside
the door 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.

the cycle.
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.
