Important Information

For your Condenser dryer to operate efficiently, you must follow the regular maintenance schedule shown below:
Fluff filter...
! You MUST clean the fluff filter after EVERY drying
cycle.
STEP 1.
Open the door of your
dryer.
! Failure to clean the filter after EVERY drying cycle will affect the drying performance of your machine.
-It will take longer to dry and as a result will use more electricity during drying.
STEP 2.
Pull out the filter (using
the two finger grips).
STEP 3.
Clean any fluff deposits
from the filter mesh.
STEP 4.
Refit the filter - NEVER
run the dryer without the
filter in position.
Water Container...
! You MUST empty the water container after EVERY
drying cycle.
STEP 1.
Pull the water container
towards you and remove it
fully from the dryer.
! Failure to empty the water container will result in:
-The machine will stop heating (so the load may still be wet at the end of the drying cycle).
-The ‘Empty Water’ light will illuminate to tell you that the water container is full.
STEP 2.
Empty all the water
collected in the water
container.
Priming the Water Collection System
When your dryer is new, the water container will not collect water until the system is primed... this will take 1 or 2 drying
cycles. Once primed it will collect water during every drying cycle.
STEP 3.
Refit the water container,
ensuring that it is pushed
fully back into position.

Important Information
Condenser Unit...
! You MUST clean the fluff from the condenser EVERY
month.
STEP 1.
Open the condenser cover
- hold the handle and
pull towards you.
STEP 2.
Remove the condenser by
rotating the 3 clips then
pulling the condenser
towards you.
(There may be some water
in the tubes, this is normal).
●
Check that:
- The positioning arrows are pointing upwards.
- The 3 clips are re-secured back into their ‘lock’ position.
STEP 3.
Flush the condenser, from
the rear with water, to
remove any fluff deposits.
STEP 4.

- ensure that the unit is
pushed in fully, all 3 clips

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.
Minimum gap 10mm
●
If you are going to install
the appliance under a work
counter, be sure to leave a
10mm space between the
Minimum gaps
15mm
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. 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.
! 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.
! If using the dryer in a small or cold room some
condensation could be experienced.
Door Reversal Instructions
Hinge
Door latch
Hinge
The door of your dryer is reversible and can easily be
changed. Exchange diagonally hinge brackets and
blanking screws. Exchange door latch and catch with
their opposite blanking plates (see diagram above).
Door catch
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 clip and hose
from position shown (see diagram).
Remove clip and hose
from here...
Fit a suitable length of hose to the
new location shown (see diagram)
and refit clip.
...fit new hose and refit
clip here.
! Make sure that the hose is not squashed or kinked when
the dryer is in its final location.
Electrical connections
Make sure of the following before you insert the plug
into the the electrical socket:
●
The socket must be grounded.
●
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 supplied should be checked
periodically and replaced by a cord specially prepared
for this dryer and fitted only by authorised technicians
(see Service). 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.
! If in doubt about any of the above consult a qualified
electrician.
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.
