INSTALLATION
WHERE TO PUT YOUR DRYER
If you are going to install the
appliance under a work counter
m
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.
be 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
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.
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.

how often you use your tumble dryer, it is essential that areas A and B
are checked periodically to remove lint or debris.
Open window venting
The end of the tube should be directed downwards, to prevent warm
condensation forming in the vent pipe.
The duct in the wall should slope slightly
downwards.
Window mounting
The hole in the window should be as low
down as possible and the tube should be
kept as short as possible.Depending on

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.
Step 1
Open the door of your dryer
Step 2
Pull out the lter (using the two
nger grips)
Step 3
Clean the u o the lter and
replace it correctly.
Ensure that the lter is pushed
fully home.
Step 4
Make sure the lter is pushed fully home
NEVER run the dryer without the lter in position
Failure to clean the lter after EVERY drying cycle will
aect the drying performance of your machine. It
will take longer to dry and as a result will use more
electricity during drying.
At least every two or three months you MUST clean
u build up around the lter housing and the vent
tube.
Check the vent tube and any permanent venting xture to make sure that there has been no
accumulation of u or lint. Remove lint that collects around the lter and the outlet vents.

Children of less than 3 years should be kept away
from the appliance unless continuously supervised.
The appliance must be installed correctly and have
proper ventilation. The 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.
The 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 tumble dry acrylic bres at high temperatures.
Do not turn o the dryer when there are still warm
items inside.
Clean the lter after 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
To minimise the risk of re 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 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 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 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. 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
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 softener 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
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 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.
