European Directive 2012/19/EU
This appliance is marked according
to the European directive 2012/19/EU
on Waste Electrical and Electronic
Equipment (WEEE).
WEEE contains both polluting substances
(which can cause negative consequences for
the environment) and basic components (which
can be re-used). It is important to have WEEE
subjected to specific treatments, in order to
remove and dispose properly all pollutants, and
recover and recycle all materials.
Individuals can play an important role in
ensuring that WEEE does not become an
environmental issue; it is essential to follow
some basic rules:
- WEEE should not be treated as household
waste.
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 13A.
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.
Th e pl ug should be ac cessibl e fo r
disconnection after the appliance has been
installed.
CE Appliance complies with European Directive
2004/108/EC, 2006/95/EC and subsequent
amendments.
If the appliance is not running properly or
breaks down, switch it off and disconnect the

damaged, it must be replaced by a special cord
which is ONLY obtainable from the spares
service. It must be installed by a competent
person.
- WEEE should be handed over to the relevant
collection points managed by the municipality
or by registered companies. In many countries,
for large WEEE, home collection could be
present.
In many countries, when you buy a new
appliance, the old one may be returned to the
retailer who has to collect it free of charge on a
one-to-one basis, as long as the equipment is of
equivalent type and has the same functions as
the supplied equipment.

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.

20 inches
(50.80cm)
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.
EN

Page 9
PREPARING THE LOAD
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).
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.
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 button to select low drying
temperature.

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 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.
