INSTALLATION
The tumble dryer is fully compatible with any 600mm deep kitchen units and complies with
stringent EEC regulations.
Your dryer is provided with a vent hose which will extend to approx 2.4m (8ft). We strongly
recommend that this is vented through the wall with the attachment provided. The position of the
hole (100mm diameter) for the vent directly behind the tumble dryer is shown in the diagram.
If the through the wall vent is to be positioned other than behind the dryer, the vent hose should be
positioned at floor level and through adjacent side panel to a relevant position. The plinth must be
cut−out to accommodate the air vent grill at the bottom front of the tumble dryer.
IMPORTANT
The air vent at the front of the appliance must never be covered or blocked in any way as
this will cause the dryer to overheat.
The dryer should not be placed directly next to ovens or cookers, as the performance of the
dryer may be affected.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS: We strongly recommend that any electrical work is carried out
by a qualified person complying with the IEE 17
IMPORTANT
Please remember that the tumble dryer must be capable of being switched off,
th
addition of the electrical regulations.

THE FILTER
The filter is found, as seen from the diagram, by opening the door and must always be in
position when drying items in the appliance. To allow the dryer to operate efficiently it should be
cleaned after each drying cycle. Do not be alarmed by the amount of fluff deposited on the
mesh. It is not due to excessive wear caused by the dryer but more an indication of it’s efficient
operation.
All fabric loses fluff when drying but it goes unnoticed into the air. In a tumble dryer it simply
collects in the filter.
CONTROL PANEL GUIDE
1. The Timer Select the drying time from the recommendations shown on the
control panel (3). Turn the timer knob to the required drying
time.
2. Heat Setting Select half or full heat as recommended on the control
panel.
3. Control Panel
See below
4. Start Press the start button after selecting the required drying time.
OPERATION
Sort out the clothes into groups of similar fabrics and colours. Check the care label inside
the garment. We suggest that a fabric conditioner be used to reduce static electricity.
Delicate articles e.g. tights should be placed inside a pillowcase. It is better to dry small
and large articles together.
Open the door.
Load clothes loosely into the drum.
Load sheets first starting with one corner.
Close the door.
Dry your hands.
Check the timer is in the’0’ position.
Switch on the machine.
Select correct heat position (See programme chart on facia panel).
Set the timer to the correct position (See programme chart on facia panel).
Press the start button.
The drum will now begin to rotate and stop when the timer automatically reaches the `0’
position.
Should the clothes become dry before the cycle has finished the thermostat will automatically
switch off the heater and prevent overdrying and save energy although the drum will still
rotate.
When drying large items such as sheets, we suggest you stop the dryer to redistribute the
load.
To stop the machine during the middle of a programme simply open the door: the drum will stop
rotating automatically and reset when you close the door. To lengthen or shorten the
programme, turn the timer knob.
After removing the dried clothes clean the filter as follows:
Pull the filter upwards.
Remove any threat of fluff by hand or with a soft brush.
Slide the filter back.
Wash the filter occasionally in detergent solution and with a soft brush remove small
particles.
Switch off the electricity supply.
The final part of the drying cycle occurs without heat (cool down cycle) to ensure that the
items will not be damaged.

ANY PROBLEMS
If the clothes are not dry after normal drying time:
− Check that the filter is clean.
− Check that you used the correct heat setting.
− Check that the venting hose is not blocked (sometimes a strong wind may cause a back
pressure).

If your machine does not work, check the following points before contacting the Free ˘
phone service number.
− Check that there is a supply of electricity.
− Check that the machine is switched on and the door properly closed.
− Some machines are fitted with a resetable cut−out. Check this has not operated. If your
dryer has a red button on the right hand side at the back if your dryer, press it. If it has
operated the sharp ˆclick˜ will be heard. This cut−out only operates if the airflow is
severely restricted so make sure the filter is clean and that all other restrictions are
removed before restarting.
