Any electrical work required to install this appliance should be carried out by a 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 socket is a serious safety (shock) hazard. Ensure that the cut off plug is disposed of safely.

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.
