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.
Maximum drying weight
● Cottons Max. 7 kg
● Synthetics Max. 3.5 kg
8
Preparing the load
Do not overload
the drum, large
items when wet
can exceed the
maximum
admissible
clothes load
(for example:
sleeping bags,
duvets).
40006166Eng.qxd 03/09/2009 11:13 Page 8
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 button to
select low drying temperature.
9
40006166Eng.qxd 03/09/2009 11:13 Page 9
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.
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.
10
Drying advice
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.

Selecting a 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. Set the programme between 30 and 75 minutes
depending on the load size and dryness required, and select high or low heat
depending upon the fabric type.
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.

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 Relax 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.

Door and Filter
WARNING!
When the tumble dryer is in use the
drum and door may be VERY HOT.
Never stop a tumble dryer before
the end of the drying cycle unless
all items are quickly removed and
spread out so that the heat is
dissipated.
DO NOT USE WATER TO CLEAN THE
FILTER
40006166Eng.qxd 03/09/2009 11:14 Page 14
The water removed from the laundry during the
drying cycle is collected in a container at the
bottom 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 the bottom of the kickplate so
that it unclips from the dryer. The top
section can then be unhinged allowing the
kickplate to be completely removed.
2. Pull firmly on the handgrip and slide the
water container out of the dryer.
Support the container with both hands. When
full, the water container will weigh about 4kg.
3. Open the lid located on the top of the
container and empty the water.
4. Refit the lid and slide the water container
back into position. PUSH FIRMLY INTO
PLACE.
5. Refit the kickplate by engaging the hinges
at the top and 'snapping' the lower clips
into place.

machine will enter the cool down phase, the
clothes will be tumbled in cool air allowing
the load to cool down.
8. When the programme is complete the END
indicator will light.
9. Following the completion of the cycle the
drum will rotate intermittently to minimize
creasing. This will continue until the machine
is switched OFF or the door is opened.
WARNING!
The drum, door
and load may be
very hot.

Cancelling and resetting the
programme
To cancel a programme press the button for 3 seconds. The DRY light will
flash to indicate that it has been reset.
Start Delay
The Delay Start Function allows the user to delay the start of the drying
cycle by 3, 6 or 9 hours.
When the function is first selected the display will show a delay of 3 hours,
subsequent presses of the button will increase the delay to 6 or 9 hours.
To commence the programme press and the appliance will complete the
drying cycle at the end of this time. The 3, 6 or 9 hour indicator light will flash
to indicate that the start delay is in progress.
Cleaning the dryer
● Clean the filter and empty the water
container after every drying cycle.
● Regularly clean the condenser.
● After each period of use, wipe the inside of
the drum and leave the door open for a
while to allow circulation of air to dry it.
● Wipe the outside of the machine and the
door with a soft cloth.
