Where to put your dryer
●
Place your dryer at a distance from gas
ranges, stoves, heaters, or cook tops
because flames can damage the
appliance.
●
The dryer should be installed in an
ambient room temperature of between
20 to 23˚C for optimum performance.
But will function if the room is between
14 and 30˚C.
Minimum gap 10mm
●
If you are going to
install the appliance
under a work counter,
be sure to leave a
Minimum gaps
15mm
10mm space between
the top and any other
objects on or above
the machine and a
15mm space between
the sides and lateral furnishings or walls.
This is to ensure proper air circulation.
The appliance must be installed with the
rear surface placed against a wall.
! Make sure that the back vents are not
obstructed.
Ventilation
When the dryer is in use, there has to be adequate
ventilation. Make sure you put your dryer in an
environment that is not damp and has proper air
circulation throughout. Airflow around the dryer is
essential to condense the water produced during the
washing, the dryer will not operate efficiently in an
enclosed space or cupboard.
! If using the dryer in a small or cold room some
condensation could be experienced.
! We do not recommend that the dryer is
installed in a cupboard but the dryer must
never be installed behind a lockable door,
a sliding door or a door with a hinge on
the opposite side to that of the dryer door.
Water drain
If your dryer is installed next to a drain the water can be
plumbed into this drain. This does away with the need to
empty the water container. If the dryer is stacked onto or
installed next to a washing machine it can share the same
drain.
The height of the drain must be less than 3' (1m) from the
bottom of the dryer.
Remove the existing hose from
position shown in picture A.
picture A
Then fit a suitable length of hose to
position shown in picture B.
! Make sure that the hose is not squashed or kinked when
the dryer is in its final location.

Levelling your dryer
The dryer must be installed level for correct operation.
When you have installed your
dryer in its final location check
that it is level first side to side,
then front to back.
If the dryer is not level, adjust
the two front legs up or down,
until your dryer is level.
! WARNING: Before you use your dryer ensure that
it has been in an upright position for at least 6 hours.

Installation
Electrical connections
Make sure of the following before you
insert the plug into the the electrical socket:
●
Make sure your hands are dry.
●
The socket must have an earth connection.
●
The socket must be able to sustain the
machines maximum power, which is
indicated on the rating label (see Dryer Description).
●
Power voltage must be within the values
indicated on the rating label (see Dryer Description).
●
The socket must be compatible with the
dryers plug. Should this not be the case,
replace the plug or the socket.
! The dryer must not be installed outdoors,
even if the space is sheltered. It can be
very dangerous if it is exposed to rain or
storms.
! Once installed, the dryers electrical wire
and plug must be within easy reach.
! Do not use extension cords.
! The power cord must not be bent or
squashed.
! The power cord should be regularly
checked. If the supply cord is damaged, it
must be replaced by the manufacturer, its
service agent or similarly qualified
persons in order to avoid a hazard. New or
longer power cords are supplied at an extra
charge by authorised dealers.
! The manufacturer denies any responsibility
should any of these rules not be followed.
Before you start using your dryer
Once you have installed your dryer and before you
use it, clean the inside of the drum to remove any dust
that could have accumulated during transport.

Warnings
To minimise the risk of fire in your
tumble dryer, the following should be
observed:
●
Tumble dry items only if they have been
washed with detergent and water, rinsed
and been through the spin cycle. It is a
fire hazard to dry items that HAVE NOT
been washed with water.
●
Do not dry garments that have been
treated with chemical products.
●
Do not tumble dry items that have been
spotted or soaked with vegetable or
cooking oils, this constitutes a fire hazard.
Oil-affected items can ignite spontaneously,
especially when exposed to heat sources
such as a tumble dryer. The items become
warm, causing an oxidisation reaction with
the oil, Oxidisation creates heat. If the heat
cannot escape, items can become hot
enough to catch fire. Piling, stacking or
storing oil-effected items can prevent heat
from escaping and so create a fire hazard.
If it is unavoidable that fabrics containing
vegetable or cooking oil or those that have
been contaminated with hair care products
be placed in a tumble dryer they should
first be washed with extra detergent - this
will reduce, but not eliminate the hazard.
They should not be removed from the dryer
and piled or stacked while hot.
●
Do not tumble dry items that have
previously been cleaned in or washed in,
soaked in or soiled with petrol/gasoline,
dry cleaning solvents or other flammable
or explosive substances. Highly flammable
substances commonly used in domestic
environments including cooking oil,
acetone, denatured alcohol, kerosene,
spot removers, turpentine, waxes and
wax removers. Ensure these items have
been washed in hot water with an extra
amount of detergent before being dried
in the tumble dryer.
●
Do not tumble dry items containing foam
rubber (also known as latex foam), or
similarly textured rubber like materials.
Foam rubber materials can, when
heated, produce fire by spontaneous
combustion.
●
Fabric softener or similar products
should not be used in a tumble dryer to
eliminate the effects of static electricity
unless the practice is specifically
recommended by the manufacturer of
the fabric softener product.
●
Do not tumble dry undergarments that
contain metal reinforcements eg. bras
with metal reinforcing wires. Damage to
the tumble dryer can result if the metal
reinforcements come loose during drying.
●
Do not tumble dry rubber, plastic articles
such as shower caps or babies water
proof covers, polythene or paper.
●
Do not tumble dry rubber backed
articles, clothes fitted with foam rubber
pads, pillows, galoshes and rubber
coated tennis shoes.
●
Remove all objects from pockets, such
as lighters and matches.
GB
! WARNING: Never stop the dryer before the end of the drying cycle unless all items are
quickly removed and spread out so that the heat is dissipated.

Maintenance and Care
GB
Switching off the electricity
! Unplug your dryer when not using it,
when cleaning it and during all
maintenance operations.
Clean the filter after each cycle
The filter is an important part of your dryer:
it accumulates lint and fluff that is formed
while drying.
When finished drying, clean the filter by
rinsing it under running water or with your
vacuum cleaner.
Should the filter become clogged up, the
airflow inside the dryer will be seriously
compromised: drying times lengthen and
you will consume more energy. It may also
damage your dryer.
The filter is found in front of the dryer trim
(see diagram on next page).
Removing the filter:
1. Pull the plastic grip of the filter upwards.
2. Open the filter and
clean the lint from the
inside.
3. Replace it correctly.
Ensure the filter is fully
located flush into the
tumble dryer trim.
4. Remove any lint that has built up on the
inside of the door and around the door
seal.
Cleaning the heat pump filter unit
Periodically (every 5 drying cycles) remove
the heat pump filter unit and clean any
build up of fluff from the surface of the filter.
However, we recommend that you clean
this filter after EVERY drying cycle to
optimise the dryers performance.
To removing the heat pump filter unit:
1. Unplug the dryer and open the door.
2. Pull open the heat pump filter unit cover
(see diagram on next page).
Release the 4 clips to the vertical position
then pull the filter unit towards you.
3. Separate the two parts
of the filter and clean
the surface of the filter.
! The front of the heat pump is made
from thin metal plates. Take care that you
do not damage these or cut yourself when
cleaning, removing or replacing the heat
pump filter unit.
Whenever you clean the heat pump filter
unit always clean any build up of fluff from
the surface of the metal plates.
4. Carefully clean this fluff
off with a damp cloth,
sponge or a vacuum
cleaner.
Never use your fingers.
! Do not use the dryer without replacing
the filter.

5.Reassemble the two parts of the filter,
clean the seals and replace with the 4
clips in the horizontal position, make
sure that the catches are secure.
