IMPORTANT
Using your Tumble Dryer is easy.
Nevertheless, for your own safety and to get the best results it is important to know your Dryer by reading right through this handbook before using your dryer for the first time.
NEVER Allow children to play with or otherwise interfere with the dryer. NEVER Allow the air inlet at the back of the dryer, the air outlet or vent hose
to be obstructed.
NEVER Direct the vent hose outlet towards the air intake at the back of the
machine.
NEVER Allow the tumble dryer to recycle exhaust air. NEVER Switch the machine off leaving a hot load in the drum. NEVER Tumble dry without the filter in position. NEVER Exceed the maximum load capacity recommended or place
dripping wet items in the drum.
NEVER Use the dryer on a carpeted floor where the pile height would
prevent air from entering the dryer from the base.
NEVER Allow lint to collect around the dryer. NEVER Add liquid fabric conditioner to the dryer, use liquid conditioner in the
final rinse of your wash.
NEVER Use the dryer for commercial drying, the dryer is only suitable for
domestic use.
NEVER Dry Acrylics on the high heat setting. NEVER Tumble articles that have NOT been well washed in water and
detergent then well rinsed and spun.
NEVER Dry articles that are contaminated with flammable substances such
as: petrol, oil, paint, hair lacquer, creams, cooking fat or oil.
NEVER Tumble dry: rubber, foam rubber, plastic, plastic foam, nappy pants
or liners, polythene or paper. Any dry cleaned garments.
NEVER Never attempt to stand on top of your dryer, it is not designed for
such use and you could injure yourself or damage the dryer by such abuse.

For your safety
ALWAYS When the dryer is not in use, switch off at the wall, remove plug
and close the door.
ALWAYS Comply with the specified electrical requirements. ALWAYS Ensure that the mains cable and plug is completely withdrawn from
its storage place in the rear exhaust duct.
ALWAYS Ensure that your dryer is installed correctly and has adequate
ventilation.
ALWAYS Use the vent hose for optimum drying performance. ALWAYS Finish every programme with the cool tumble cycle provided on
the control.
ALWAYS Clean the filter, it is essential that the filter is kept clear of fluff
after EACH drying cycle.
ALWAYS Observe the rules for drying garments:
In particular woollen articles should not be dried in a tumble dryer unless they are labelled ‘Superwash’,
‘Machine washable’ or have the ‘May be tumble dried’ symbol: If in any doubt do not dry wool in the machine. Unlike other materials, the mechanism of wool shrinkage is irreversible, i.e. it will not stretch back to the original size and shape.
ALWAYS Buy genuine accessories and spares.
