Important information
|
To ensure that the condenser dryer functions |
|
EN |
efficiently, the following routine maintenance |
|
procedures must be carried out: |
||
|
||
|
Fluff filter – CLEAN off any fluff build-up on the |
|
|
filter after each drying cycle. |
|
|
Step 1 |
|
|
Open the dryer door by pressing |
|
|
it as shown in the picture. |
Step 2
Pull out the filter (using two fingers).
Step 3
Clean off any fluff build-up on the internal surface of the filter.
Step 4
Replace the filter – never operate the dryer without the filter in place.
Failure to clean the filter after each drying cycle can undermine drying performance as the machine takes longer to dry and thus consumes more energy.
Water container – empty the water container after each drying cycle.
|
Step 1 |
|
Pull the water container towards |
|
you and remove it completely |
2 |
from the dryer. |
Step 2
Empty all the water in the water container.
Step 3
Replace the water container making sure that it is securely fixed.
Failure to empty the water container may cause the following:
-The dryer stops heating (thus the load may still be damp at the end of the drying cycle).
-The “Empty water container” LED activates to
show that the water container is full.
Filling of the Water Container
When the dryer is first used water will not immediately enter the water container as the pump needs to be primed. This is done automatically and will take a few minutes, during this period the efficiency of the drying process is not affected.
2
Condenser unit - remove any fluff build-up
from the condenser on a monthly basis.
EN
Step 1
Open the condenser cover - grip the handle and pull towards you.
Step 2
Remove the condenser by turning the 3 catches, then pull the condenser towards you. (It is normal for some residual water to be left in the tubes).
Step 3
Clean the condenser with running water over the rear side to remove any fluff deposits.
Step 4
Replace the condenser unit; make sure that the unit is securely in place, that all 3 catches are fixed and that the position arrows on the front end of the condenser are pointing upwards.
Failure to clean the condenser unit may cause premature failure of the dryer.

Installation
Where to install the tumble dryer
EN |
• Install the dryer far from gas |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
ranges, stoves, radiators or |
mm |
|
|
hobs, as flames may damage it. |
|
|
|
If the dryer is installed below a |
10 |
|
|
worktop, ensure there are 10 |
|
|
|
mm between the upper panel of |
|
|
|
the dryer and any objects |
15 mm |
15 mm |
|
|
above it, and 15 mm between the sides of the machine and the walls or furniture units adjacent to it. This ensures adequate air circulation.
Ventilation
• The room must be adequately ventilated while the dryer is running. Make sure that the dryer is installed in a room free of humidity and with adequate air circulation. The flow of air around the dryer is essential to allow water to condense during drying; the dryer will not function properly if it is placed in an enclosed space or inside a cabinet.
Some condensation may form if the dryer is used in a small or cold room.
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' (1 m) from the bottom of the dryer.
Remove existing hose from position shown in picture A and fit a suitable length of hose and connect as shown in picture B.
Make sure that the hose is not squashed or kinked when the dryer is in its final location.

Electrical connections
Before plugging the appliance into the socket, check the following:
•Make sure your hands are dry.
•The socket must have an earth connection.
•The socket must be able to withstand the machine’s maximum power output as indicated on the data plate (see Description of the tumble dryer).
•The power supply voltage must fall within the values indicated on the data plate (see Description of the tumble dryer).
•The socket must be compatible with the dryer’s plug.
Should this not be the case, replace the plug or the socket.Do not use extension cords.
The dryer must not be installed outdoors, even if the space is
sheltered. It can be very dangerous if exposed to rain or storms.
Once installed, the dryer’s electrical wire and plug must be within reach.
The power cord must not be bent or squashed.
The power cord is supplied fitted with a BS1363 plug and with a 13 amp BS1362 fuse. If it is necessary to fit a replacement fuse, it must be a 13 Amp ASTA approved to BS1362 type. WARNING: The plug must not be used without a fuse cover. If a replacement fuse holder/cover is required, it must be of the same colour coding or wording as shown on the base of the plug.
Replacements are available from authorised dealers.

If the plug being replaced is a non-rewirable type, then the cut-off plug must be disposed of safely. DO NOT leave it where it can be inserted into a socket and create a shock hazard.
The power cord should be checked periodically and replaced by a cord specially prepared for this dryer and fitted only by authorized technicians (see Service). New or longer power cords are supplied at an extra charge by authorized 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.
Preliminary information
Once the tumble dryer is installed, clean the inside of the drum before operating it and remove any dirt accumulated during transportation.

Indicator lights
“Maintenance” indicator lights
The indicator lights provide important information. They indicate the following:
The “Empty water container” indicator light 
signals that the water container must be emptied.
If the water container fills during the course of the programme, the LED lights up. The dryer automatically starts a cold air cycle and the START/PAUSE LED flashes orange. Press the START/PAUSE button to resume the cycle from the point it was interrupted.
In order to avoid this procedure, always empty the water container after using the tumble dryer (see Care and maintenance).
Before each programme, the “Clean filter” indicator light
signals that it is essential to clean the filter each time before using the tumble dryer (see Care and maintenance).
The “Clean condenser unit” indicator light 
signals that it is essential to clean the condenser regularly (see Care and maintenance).
“Drying phases” indicator lights
The 
indicator light signals that the drying phase is running. The 
indicator light signals that the cooling phase is running.
The END indicator light signals that the programme has ended.
“Delay timer” indicator light
If the ”Delay timer” option has been activated (see “Programmes and options”), after the programme has started, the indicator light corresponding to the chosen delay time will start flashing:
As time passes, the remaining delay will be displayed and the corresponding indicator light will flash:
Once the set delay time ends, the flashing LED will turn off and the set programme will start.
