adequately supervised by a responsible person to ensure that they can use the appliance safely.

Young children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.

subject to splashing or ingress of moisture.

— To minimize the risk of fire in the tumble dryer, the following should be observed:

- Items that have been spotted or soaked with vegetable or cooking oil constitute a fire hazard
and should not be placed in a tumble dryer. Oil affected items can ignite spontaneously,
especially when exposed to heat.

wall-mounted see section 10 “To wall mount”.

1.5 Remove any dust by wiping the drum and door with a damp cloth. Any initial smell
from the heater should disappear after the first period of heating.

1.6 WARNING: THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED.

of cycle if Anti-crease has been selected.

3 Operation

3.1 Roll dripping wet articles in a towel to remove excess water.
Sort out the clothes into groups of similar fabrics and colours. Check the care label
inside the garment.
Delicate articles e.g. tights should be placed inside a pillowcase.
It is better to dry small and large articles together.

3.2 Open the door.
Load clothes loosely into the drum.
Load sheets first starting with one corner.

3.3. Close the door.
Dry your hands.

PRESS START. The drum will now begin to rotate and stop when the timer
automatically reaches the ‘O’ position.

3.5 When drying large items such as sheets, we suggest you stop the dryer to
redistribute the load.
To stop the machine during the middle of the programme simply open the door;
the drum will stop rotating automatically and restart when you close the door, and
press start button. To lengthen or shorten the programme, reset the timer knob.

5 Don’ts

Do not – Overload the dryer.
Do not – Dry articles individually as they tend to roll up and so increase drying time.
Do not – Dry woollen or wool mixture articles unless the article is labelled as

suitable.
Do not – Allow filter to become blocked.
Do not – Allow fluff to accumulate around the tumble dryer.
Do not – Drag your dryer over the floor as the rubber feet may come off. Please lift

the dryer when moving it.

6 Any problems?

If the clothes are not dry after normal drying time:

— Check that the filter is clean.
— Check that you used the correct heater setting.
— Check that you have not set the timer within a cool down period.

If your machine does not work check the following
before calling a service engineer:

— Check that there is a supply of electricity.
— Check that the machine is switched on and the door

properly closed.

— Your machine is fitted with a resettable cut out.

Check whether this has operated. There is a red
button on the back of your dryer. Press it lightly. If it
has operated then a sharp “click” will be heard. This
cut-out only operates if the airflow is severely
restricted so make sure the filter is clean and that all
other restrictions are removed before re-starting.
