DRAIN HOSE : FITTING INSTRUCTIONS
To avoid emptying the water container after
each drying cycle, the water 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 should be located adjacent to the tumble
dryer.
5. Place the tap
supplied by the kit to
close the remaing
hose.
The kit consists of:1 hose and 1 tap.
WARNING! Switch off and remove the
tumble dryer plug from the electricity supply
before carrying out any work.
Fit the Hose as Follows:
1.Tilt the machine
backwards.
2. The waste water
pipe is situated at the
right-hand side of the
machine (see the
picture). A grey hose
connects to the bridge
at the left hand side of
the machine. Using
pliers, remove the pipe
retaining clip from the
bridge.
3. Pull the hose off the
bridge connection.
6. Once the machine is
in place the feet should
be adjusted to ensure
that the new hose does
not kink when pushing
the tumble dryer into
position.
7. Connect the new
drain hose to the waste
Water pipe.
8. Connect to the
mains electricity
supply.
4. Attach the black
hose from the kit,
(using the connector
and pipe clips
supplied), to the hose
removed from the
bridge connection.

PREPARING THE LOAD
Before using the tumble dryer for the first time:
ჀPlease read this instruction book thoroughly.
ჀRemove all items packed inside drum.
Ⴠ 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.
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
ჀTry to dry the maximum weight of laundry, this
will save time and electricity.
Ⴠ Check that the filter is clean before every
drying cycle.
NEVER
Ⴠ Exceed the maximum weight, this will waste
time and electricity.
Ⴠ Put dripping wet items into the tumble dryer,
this may damage the appliance.
Do not overload the drum, large items
when wet can exceed the maximum admissible
clothes load (for example: sleeping bags,
duvets).

EN
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.
This is a special timed program for a maximum load of 4kg (117
min). The default duration is 99 minutes and allows to dry up to 3kg.
With this program you can dry together cotton and synthetic
fabrics.
This is a special timed program for shirts of max load of 3kg (78
minutes). For synthetic shirts you have to press the Acrylic
Synthetic button. The default duration is 60 minutes and allows to
dry up to 2kg.

indicator on the control panel will light, and
the container MUST be emptied. However, we
recommend that the container is emptied after

When it is full the
water container will
weigh about 6 kg.
2. Tilt the water
container to empty the

This means that you
don't have to empty the
1
water container.
WARNING! If you open the door mid cycle,
before the cool-down cycle has completed,the
