Important information

To ensure that the condenser dryer functions 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.

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 from the dryer.

Step 2 Empty all the water in the water container.

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.

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.

Condenser unit - remove any fluff build-up from the condenser on a monthly basis.

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.

Installation

Where to install the tumble dryer

• Install the dryer far from gas

ranges, stoves, radiators or hobs, as flames may damage it. If the dryer is installed below a worktop, ensure there are 10 mm between the upper panel of the dryer and any objects 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.

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 ma-

ximum power output as indicated on the rating plate (see Description of the tumble dryer).

• The power supply voltage must fall within the values indica-

ted 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.

Moulded plug

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.

Less than 1m

Changing the plug

The wires in the power cord are coloured in accordance with the following.

Green and Yellow (Earth) wire to terminal marked “E”, symbol x, or coloured green and yellow.

Blue (Neutral) wire to terminal marked ”N” or coloured black.

13 ampere fuse

CROSS-BAR CORD GRIP

13A ASTA approved fuse to BS 1362.

Brown (live) wire to teminal marked “L” or coloured red.

! 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.

Allows for setting the programme: turn until the indicator points towards the desired programme (see Starting and selecting a programme).

Options buttons

Allows selection of the options available for the selected programme. The respective indicator lights turn on when the option has been selected (see Programmes and options).

START/PAUSE button and indicator light

When the green light flashes slowly, press the button to start the programme. When the cycle is under way, the indicator light remains on. Press the button again to put the programme in the pause mode; the indicator light turns orange and starts flashing again. Press the button again to resume the programme from the point it was interrupted (see Starting and selecting a programme).

Display

In section A, the selected “Timed drying” value is displayed; if the “Delay start” function was set, the time remaining to the start of the selected programme will appear. The duration of the selected programme is also displayed in this section. In section B, the phase of the running programme is displayed:

Sun icon : Drying cycle

Fan icon : COOL air cycle

In section C, the maintenance indicator lights are displayed (Empty water container indicator light , Clean filter indicator light , Clean condenser unit indicator light) , see Indicator lights.

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 cool 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 Maintenance).

Before each programme, the “Clean filter” indicator light signals the fundamental importance of cleaning the filter before each load

(see Maintenance).

The “Clean condenser unit” indicator light signals the fundamental importance of cleaning the condenser regularly (see Maintenance).
