TUMBLE DRYER
This symbol reminds you to read this booklet.
INSTALLATION
WHERE TO PUT YOUR DRYER
If you are going to install the
appliance under a work counter be
m
sure to leave a 10mm space
between the top and any other
objects on or above the machine
and a 15mm space between the
sides and any kitchen units or walls
to ensure proper air circulation. 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.The appliance must be installed
with the rear surface placed against a wall.
VENTILATION
When the dryer is in use there has to be adequate ventilation to avoid
the back ow of gases into the room from appliances burning other
fuels, including open res.
The vent tube should not exceed 2.4 metres in length.
The tube should be kept clear of the air intake vent and kinks or ‘U’ bends
must be avoided as these will obstruct the tube and trap condensation.
VENTING
Air intake vent. Do not block or obstruct
Caution: Hot!

short as possible. Depending on how often you use your tumble dryer, it
is essential that areas A and B are checked periodically to remove lint or
debris.
Make sure that the ventilation hose, air inlet vents, and outlets are not
obstructed or blocked.
Venting
The end of the tube should be directed downwards, to prevent warm
moist air from condensing in the room or dryer.
Do not discharge exhaust air into a ue which is used for exhaust
fumes from other appliances that burn gas or other fuels.
Do not discharge exhaust air into an extraction system or any duct with
an extractor fan. This will aect the way the thermal controls operate and
can result in a re hazard.
Vent Tube tted here
Keep the tube as short and as straight as
possible to prevent condensation forming
in the vent pipe.
The duct in the wall should slope slightly
downwards.
Mounting
The hole should be as low down as
possible and the tube should be kept as
ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
The socket must be grounded. The power supply cord
should be checked periodically. If the supply cord is
damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its
service agent or similarly qualied persons in order to
avoid a hazard
LEVELLING YOUR DRYER
The dryer must be installed level for correct
operation. When you have installed your
dryer in its nal location check that it is rst
level side to side and then back to front.
If the dryer is not level use a wooden block
to support it while adjusting the two front
legs up or down until your dryer is level.
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.
GUIDE TO FITTING THE VENT HOSE TO
YOUR DRYER
Remove ‘oval-shaped’ Ventilation
hose from the packaging.Ensure
that you also remove the two jubilee
clips.If you require to reduce the
length of the hose please wear
gloves when cutting the hose.
Pull to expand the end of the
Ventilation hose prior to fitting.
If the hose has not been expanded,
the jubilee clip will not clamp the
hose to the adaptor.
Place one of the the jubilee clips
over the end of the extended vent
hose.The second jubilee clip can be
used to secure the opposite end of
the vent hose to a wall mounting kit
(not supplied).
Clamp the ventilation hose to the
rear vent outlet by tightening the
jubilee clip with a screwdriver.
If the hose has not been expanded,
the clip will not clamp the hose to
the rear vent outlet.
The tumble dryer may protrude further forward from the worktop.
Please do not push the tumble dryer too far backwar.
ITEMS NOT SUITABLE FOR TUMBLE
DRYING
1. Articles that contain rubber or rubber-like materials or plastic lm, any
ammable articles or objects that contain ammable substances.
2. Glass bres.
3. Items which have been dry cleaned.
4. Large bulky items (quilts, sleeping bags, etc). These expand when
drying and prevent airow through the dryer.
Warnings
! is appliance has been designed and built according to
international safety standards. ese warnings are given for
safety reasons and must be followed carefully.
GENERAL SAFETY
is appliance can be used by children aged from 8
years and above and persons with reduced physical,
sensory or mental capabilities or lack of experience
and knowledge if they have been given supervision
or instruction concerning use of the appliance in a
safe way and understand the hazards involved.
is tumble dryer has been designed for home, and
not professional, use.
Do not touch the appliance while barefoot or with
wet hands or feet.
Unplug the machine by pulling on the plug, not the
cord.
Children should be supervised to ensure that they
do not play with the dryer.
Cleaning and user maintenance shall not be made
by children without supervision.
Children of less than 3 years should be kept away
from the appliance unless continuously supervised.
e appliance must be installed correctly and have
proper ventilation. e air intake vents behind the
machine, the outlet vents and the vent tube should
never be obstructed
Never direct the vent tube outlet towards the air
intake at the back of the machine.
Never allow the tumble dryer to recycle exhaust air.
Never use the dryer on carpeting where the pile
height would prevent air from entering the dryer
from the base.
Check to see if the dryer is empty before loading it.
e back of the dryer could become very hot.
Never touch it while in use.
Do not use the dryer unless the lter is securely in
place
Do not overload the dryer
Do not load items that are dripping wet.
Carefully check all instructions on clothing labels
Do not tumble dry large, very bulky items.
Do not tumble dry acrylic bres at high
temperatures.
Do not turn o the dryer when there are still warm
items inside.
Clean the lter aer each use
Do not allow lint to collect around the dryer.
Never climb on top of the dryer. It could result in
damage.
Always follow electrical standards and requirements
Always buy original spare parts and accessories
ignite spontaneously,especially when exposed to heat
sources such as a tumble dryer. e 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 re. Piling,
stacking or storing oil-eected items can prevent
heat from escaping and so create a re 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 rst be washed with extra detergent - this will
reduce, but not eliminate the hazard. ey 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
ammable or explosive substances. Highly ammable
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 re by spontaneous
combustion.
Fabric soener or similar products should not be
used in a tumble dryer to eliminate the eects of
static electricity unless the practice is specically
recommended by the manufacturer of the fabric
soener 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 waterproof covers, polythene or
paper.
Do not tumble dry rubber backed articles, clothes
tted with foam rubber pads, pillows, galoshes and
rubber coated tennis shoes.
Remove all objects from pockets such as lighters and
matches.
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.

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 re 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 re hazard. Oil-aected items can
Fire Hazard
Use a Flexible metal vent tube.
Do not use a plastic vent tube.
Do not block or obstruct the tube in in stallation.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in
death or fire.
