Before using the tumble dryer for the first time:
● Please read this instruction book thoroughly.
● Remove all items packed inside the 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. 8 kg
● Synthetics Max. 4 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).
40004982.qxd 23/06/2007 18:51 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
40004982.qxd 23/06/2007 18:51 Page 9
Do not tumble dry:
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.
Drying guide
The table shows approximate drying times,
depending on the type of fabric and dampness of
the clothes.
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.

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.
40004982.qxd 23/06/2007 18:51 Page 12
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 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.
2. Tilt the water container to empty the water
out through the rear hole. When empty
slide the water container back into position.
PUSH FIRMLY INTO PLACE.
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.

40004982.qxd 23/06/2007 18:51 Page 13
Important: Always switch off and remove the
plug from the electricity supply before cleaning
the condenser.
To maintain the efficiency of the dryer regularly
check that the condenser is clean.
To remove the
condenser
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. Turn the two locking levers anti-clockwise
and pull out the condenser.
3. Pull out the condenser unit.
4. Gently remove any dust or fluff with a cloth,
then wash the unit by holding it under a
running tap turning it so that water flows
between the plates, to remove any dust or
fluff.
5. Refit the condenser ensuring it is in the
correct way (as indicated by the arrow) and
pushed firmly into place. Lock the two levers
by turning them clockwise.
6. Refit the kickplate.
14
Condenser
40004982.qxd 23/06/2007 18:51 Page 14
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 180 minutes.
15
Selecting the Programme
The Sensor Dry machine gives many options for drying the laundry to suit all
circumstances.
The table below lists the programmes and the function of each programme.
Programme

AIR
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 Fast Iron 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.
The Fast Iron process relaxes the creases in the fabric
making ironing quicker and easier.

6. Press the Start button. The dryer will start automatically and the
indicator will be continuously lit. The time to the end of the program will
be shown on the display.
7. The display will show the drying progress in terms of time remaining, the
indicator will remain lit.
8. If the door is opened during the programme to check the laundry, it is
necessary to press Start to recommence drying after the door has been
closed.
9. When the 15' indicator is lit the machine will enter the cool down phase,
the clothes will be tumbled in cool air allowing the load to cool down.
10. When the programme is complete the Display will show 0'min. and the
buzzer will sound for 10 seconds.
11. Following the completion of the cycle the drum will rotate intermittently to
minimise creasing, the buzzer will also sound. This will continue until the
machine is reset or switched OFF.
Cancelling and resetting the programme
To cancel a programme press the Start button for 5 seconds. The machine will
indicate that it has been reset by the display flashing.
Delay Start Function
The function allows the user to delay the start of the drying cycle by up to
23 hours.
When the function is first selected the display will show a delay of 1 hour,
subsequent presses of the button will increase the delay by 1 hour to a maximum
of 23 hours.
16
Operation
40004982.qxd 23/06/2007 18:51 Page 16
To commence the programme press Start and the
display will indicate the hours remaining on the
time delay and will complete the drying cycle at
the end of this time.

Delay Start will cancel automatically.
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.
● DO NOT use abrasive pads or cleaning
agents.
● To prevent the door sticking or the build up
of fluff periodically clean the inner door and
gasket with a damp cloth.
