Your Tumble Dryer should NOT be located adjacent to a gas hob,
cooker, heater or eye level grill as flames from the burners could
cause damage to your dryer.
When the dryer is fitted under a work surface, allow space for air
to exit the rear grille, a 15mm gap each side of the dryer is
recommended. This airflow is essential to condense the water
produced drying the washing.
If you are using this dryer adjacent or stacked on top of a washing machine SEPARATE mains plugs and sockets must be used
for each appliance.
DO NOT use 2-way adaptors or extension leads.
Both your tumble dryer and front loading washing machine are
similar in design allowing the tumble dryer to be permanently
stacked on top saving you valuable floor space. A special stacking
kit complete with instructions is available from your retailer or
nearest Spares Centre.
IMPORTANT
Only use genuine stacking kits. When ordering you must
state the model numbers of both your Washing Machine and
your Tumble Dryer. Unsuitable kits may result in a potential
hazard and will invalidate your warranty rights.

Sorting your laundry
1. Always separate laundry into the correct fabric groups before
washing and drying.
2. See that all zips are closed, hooks and eyes are fastened and
belt, strings etc. are tied loosely in bows, you will normally have
done this for each item before the washing stage.
3. It is important to extract as much water as possible from each
item before drying. This saves you time and money.
4. Make sure that the items to be dried are suitable for tumble
drying, or are not of a type requiring ‘special attention’ (see“Wash
Care Labels” section).
Your dryer will hold a load of 6kg (13lb) dry weight of natural fabrics.
if you are drying items of man-made fibres (synthetic or acrylics), the
maximum load should not exceed 3kg (6.6lb) dry weight.
This difference is that man-made fibres require more space to tumbledry without creasing.
To help you estimate how many items it takes to make up a drying
load, the charts below show the approximate weights of some everyday washing items.
If you group small cotton or terry-towelling items with a synthetic
fabric load they could be damp at the end of the drying cycle. If this
happens simply give them an additional short period of drying to
finish them off.

Wash Care Labels
Most of today’s fabrics can be tumble dried in your Dryer with no
trouble at all, but there are certain fabric finishes which should be
dried away from direct heat.
The majority of garments now have wash-care labels on them, giving
full washing and drying instructions. These should always be
followed carefully especially when you are drying something for the
first time.
Typical symbols are:
May be tumble dried
Do not tumble dry
Or:
Tumble dry at high heat setting
Tumble dry at low heat setting
• Those containing foam rubber or rubber-like materials or plastic
film (e.g. pillows, cushions, PVC rainwear), or any other articles
which are inflammable or contain inflammable substances (e.g.
towels contaminated with hair lacquer
• Fibreglass (e.g. some types of curtains)
• Items which have been dry cleaned
• Woollens. Woollen items need as much care in drying as they do
in washing. The movement of the tumble-drying action causes the
woollen fibre to shrink and distort.
• Garments with the ITCL Code
Do not tumble dry.
• Large bulky items e.g. continental quilts, sleeping bags, pillows,
cushions, double blankets and large bedspreads. These expand
when drying and would prevent airflow through the Dryer.
WARNING: THE DRYER IS INTENDED FOR USE ONLY
WHERE WATER SOLUTION IS USED FOR THE CLEANING
PROCESS. MISUSE OF A TUMBLE DRYER MAY CREATE A
FIRE HAZARD.
Items not suitable for tumble drying

Items requiring special attention
The drying requirements of blankets and bedspreads will, of course,
vary tremendously according to size and weight. Some, however are
simply too big. if you have difficulty getting them into the Dryer, the
machine will have difficulty drying them properly. Blankets (and
Garments) made from Acrylic fibres (e.g. Acilan, Courtelle, Orion and
Dralon) must be dried with special care on Low heat setting.
Overdrying should be avoided to ensure heat creasing does not
occur. Woollen blankets can however be dried on the Full heat
setting if required.
Your dryer will cope with such clothes very well, but you should
always read the manufacturer’s drying instructions attached to the
garment before you begin.
Starched articles should be dried together in the same load to avoid
the distribution of starch to non-starched items. You should use a
slightly heavier starch solution than you would when drying the items
on the washing line. Make sure that as much of the solution is
removed from the load as possible before placing it in the Dryer.
Remove the items from the dryer as soon as they reach ironing
dampness. If they are overdried the starch will powder, leaving the
fabric limp - which rather defeats the purpose of the exercise!
To make sure all your tumble dried clothes come out really fresh and
soft we recommend you use a liquid fabric conditioner in the final
rinse of your wash. A liquid fabric conditioner restores bounce and
softness and helps eliminate static cling.

Emptying the Water Container
Do not block the vent hole in the cap!
This hole is essential for correct operation of your dryer.
Remove plinth (where fitted) by slightly lifting and sliding to the left.
Pull the container out of the dryer (a small amount of water may leak
from the vent hole if the container is tilted).
Remove the cap and empty the container into a sink (or other suitable
drain).
If your dryer is stacked on top of a Washing Machine, the Tumble
Dryer can be plumbed into the drain by attaching a suitable tube to the
stub at the rear of the dryer, after removing the blanking cap. When
plumbed into a drain the water container does not need to be emptied.
Empty the water container after EVERY programme.
Failure to do this will result in the water container
becoming full and the load will not dry.

Easy Care Programme - Advance, Excel, Easy Care and ECO Sensor
Models
When to use
‘Easy Care’
Important!
Audio Signal
Creda ‘Easy Care’ provides a short programme consisting of approximately 7.5 minutes of heat with an approximately 2.5 minutes cool
tumble period. It is a short conditioning programme that softens the
fibres allowing them to relax making handling and ironing easier and
less time consuming.
However garments are dried, outside on the line, inside on a radiator,
hung around the home or using a tumble dryer, once dry they usually
get left in the same position/place for a long period of time. This tends
to cause garment fibre stiffness which can make the handling of garments difficult and therefore the ironing time longer. Garments dried in
any of the ways described above and left will benefit from the ‘Easy
Care’ programme.
● The ‘Easy Care’ cycle is not a drying programme. It has been
designed to condition/soften garments that have already been
dried and left unattended in this state for a period of time.
● All materials do not behave in exactly the same way when heated.
For instance, our testing has shown that materials such as
Tencel® and Acrylics are not relaxed quite as effectively by
applying the ‘Easy Care’ cycle as we found on the more traditional
Cottons and Polycottons.
● To obtain the best results from ‘Easy Care’ it is important that the
weights recommended below are not exceeded and high heat is
selected. (Heat switch IN).
● For best results Creda recommend garments should be
removed from the dryer immediately after the ‘Easy Care’
programme to be hung, folded neatly or ironed.
When this is not possible the ‘Easy Care’ programme should
be repeated.
Recommended weights and materials
On completion of the programme an audio signal is sounded (if selected) to remind you to remove garments from the dryer.

Guide to drying times
Please note that the drying times stated below and on appliance
control panel; are a GUIDE only and drying times are affected by:-
Items such as towelling retain a lot of water after spinning, also the
suggested wash programme for small items such as T-Shirts may
sometimes incorporate a low spin speed which has the same effect.
Your drying load may contain the same type of fabric but of different
thicknesses. Thinner items will take less time to dry. Some fabrics,
such as those used for jeans are of closer texture than others and
although light when dry will be heavy after washing and spinning.
Single items of clothes or small loads may take disproportionally
longer to dry. It is more energy efficient to dry larger loads.
As it takes longer to fully dry clothes than to have them ready for
ironing, you may wish to remove some clothes when they are slightly
damp, ready for ironing and then continue to dry the remainder until
they are fully dry.
The label on the garment should tell you the correct heat setting to
select. See ‘Wash Care Labels’.
If the room in which the dryer is situated is cold, your clothes will take
longer to dry than if the room is warm.
Some bulky items such as padded jackets can be dried, with care,
and we do advise that you remove these items several times, shake
them and return them to the dryer.
THERE ARE HOWEVER SOME ITEMS THAT WE DO NOT ADVISE
YOU TO DRY. SEE ‘ITEMS NOT SUITABLE FOR TUMBLE DRYING’
All fabrics contain a little natural moisture even when ‘dry’ and this natural moisture should not be lost if the clothes are to remain soft and
fluffy.
Clothes that are dried for too long tend to wrinkle and will need more
ironing than usual, giving you extra work that the Dryer was designed
to remove.

Caring for your Dryer
Your Tumble Dryer needs very little attention. The following simple
steps will keep it performing well.
Switch off electricity and remove plug. Ensure hands are dry.
Always clean the filter, by rinsing under the tap or using a vacuum
cleaner. Turn the dryer by hand to check that small items like
handkerchiefs do not get missed.
Wipe the drum and seal with a damp cloth.
Remove condenser unit and clean any build up of fluff from between
the plates by rinsing it under the tap with cold water. This should be
done with cold water from the rear of the condenser. Refit with the
handle at the front.
Occasionally clean the surface of the stainless steel sensor inside the
drum with vinegar to remove water contaminates. Apply carefully with
a cloth this will maintain the drying performance of the dryer. The
sensor is located between the vanes of the drum towards the front of
the dryer, rotate the drum if necessary to locate it.
Every 6 months vacuum the front air intake grille and Vents at the rear
of the dryer, to remove the build up of fluff, lint or dust.
Abrasive cleaners, scouring agents, acids, chlorine bleach or metal
polish to clean any part of the machine.
To remove accumulation of fluff from the door, front of condenser and
filter areas, clean occasionally with a vacuum cleaner.
Your tumble dryer uses special bearing components. Lubrication by
the user is not necessary and must not be attempted.
We strongly recommend that all appliances are regularly checked for
electrical and mechanical safety.

If something goes wrong
First, don’t panic! There may be nothing wrong at all. Look for your
problem below, then check the things we suggest. More often than
not, this will give you the answer to your problem, and you’ll be able
to carry on without having to telephone your Service Office.
If after this you still cannot get your machine to work, follow the
advice given on the next page.
Check these things first
1. Is the machine plugged in and switched on at the socket?
2. Is the Timer Control set to required time?
3. Is the door securely closed?
4. Has the start button been pressed hard enough? Try pressing the
start button again.
5. Has the fuse blown? (Try plugging in another appliance to check)
6. Have you used an extension lead? Many are not suitable. Try
plugging the dryer directly into a socket to check.
7. Has a delayed start been selected? (Not all models).
1. Have you forgotten to clean the filter? It should be cleaned after
each load.
