qualified electrician or competent person.
WARNING - THIS APPLIANCE MUST
BE EARTHED
Before switching on make sure the electricity
supply voltage is the same as that indicated on the
appliance rating plate. The rating plate is located
on the back panel of your tumble dryer.
CHANGING A FUSE
Your tumble dryer will be fitted with one of two
plugs. When replacing the fuse, always use ASTA
approved 13A fuses to British Standard 1362.
Type 1: Prise out the fuse cover (A)with fuse (B).
Change the fuse and refit both to the plug.
Important - The fuse cover must be refitted when
changing a fuse. If the fuse cover is lost, the plug
should not be used until a correct replacement is
fitted. Replacements are identified by the colour
insert or the colour embossed in words on the base
of the plug. They are available from most electrical
retail shops.
Type 2: Prise up the hinged fuse cover (A) as
shown.
Replace the fuse and press the cover back
into place.
FITTING A REPLACEMENT PLUG
Should the plug need to be replaced for any reason
the wires in the mains lead are coloured in
accordance with the following code:
Blue - Neutral ‘N’
Brown - Live ‘L’
Green and Yellow - Earth ‘E’
The GREEN & YELLOW wire must be
connected to the terminal in the plug which is
marked with the letter ‘E’ or by the earth symbol
or coloured green or green and yellow.
The BLUE wire must be connected to the terminal
marked with the letter ‘N’ or coloured black.
The BROWN wire must be connected to the
terminal that is marked with the letter ‘L’ or
coloured red.
A cut off plug inserted into a 13 amp

Ensure that the cut off plug is disposed of
safely.

Dry
If the laundry is spin-dried in a washing machine at less than 500 rpm, the residual dampness will
be higher and consequently the drying time should be increased.
This applies particularly to laundry consisting primarily of towels.
If the laundry is spin-dried at more than 1200 rpm, the residual dampness will be lower and
consequently the drying time should be decreased.
