INSTALLATION
Electrical Requirements
Tumble dryers are supplied to operate at a
voltage of 230V, 50 Hz single phase. Check
that the supply circuit is rated to at least 10A.
● Electricity can be extremely dangerous.
● This appliance must be earthed.
● The socket outlet and the plug on the
appliance must be of the same type.
● Do not use multiple adapters and/or
extension leads.
● The plug should be accessible for
disconnection after the appliance has been

The wires in the mains lead are coloured in
accordance with the following codes:
Blue NEUTRAL
Brown LIVE
Green and Yellow EARTH
CE Appliance complies with European
Directive 89/336/EEC, 73/23/EEC and
subsequent amendments.
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.
You may be charged for a service call if a
problem with your machine is caused by

EN 5
VENTILATION
Installation of the Discharge Hose
It is essential to use a venting hose to carry the hot moist air away from the dryer unless the dryer is
situated in a open space with a good air flowaround it. Recirculation of the moist air will prevent the
efficient operation of the dryer.
The hose is assembled to the machine as shown. The hose may be fitted through a wall or through
an open door or window. The hose is 110mm in diameter and will extend 1.8 meters.
The following guidelines should be followed when installing the
discharge hose.
● Do not use two hoses joined together as the drying performance will
be reduced.
● Do not restrict the flow of air through the hose e.g. by kinking it or fitting
a smaller diameter connector to mount to a wall opening.
● Avoid the hose making U shaped curves as this will restrict the flow of
air and increase the chance that water will collect in the hose.
● Check the hose regularly to remove any build-up of fluff or water that
may have collected in it.
The following diagrams give examples of good and bad installations.

clothes loosely in the drum to make sure that they don't get tangled.
EN 6
PREPARING THE LOAD

During the last 15 minutes the load is always
tumbled in cool air.
Energy Saving

has been thoroughly wrung or spin-dried. The
drier the laundry the shorter the drying time thus
saving electricity.

drying cycle.

SELECTING THE PROGRAMME
Programme
Selector
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.
