WARNINGS
It is most important that this instruction book
should be retained with the appliance for future
reference. Should the appliance be sold or transferred to another owner, or should you move
house and leave the appliance, always ensure that
the book is supplied with the appliance in order
that the new owner can get to know the functioning of the appliance and the relevant warnings.
These warnings have been provided in the interest
of safety. You MUST read them carefully before
installing or using the appliance.
INSTALLATION
■ Any electrical work required to install this appliance
should be carried out by a qualified electrician or
competent person.
■ Make sure that the appliance does not stand on its
electrical supply cable.
■ If the machine is situated on a carpeted floor,
please adjust the feet in order to allow air to circulate freely.
■ This tumble dryer is designed to be vented through
to the open air. It should have its own ventilation
system which should not be joined with any other
ventilation system connected to any other appliance.
USE
■ Always unplug the appliance after use.
■ Clothes which are dripping wet should not be
placed in the dryer.
Always load well spun laundry. The higher the
spin speed, the lower the electricity consumption
and the shorter the drying times.
■ Never tumble dry items that have been in contact
with chemicals such as dry cleaning fluid. These
are of a volatile nature and could cause an explosion.
■ As some bulky items such as duvets and eider-
downs should be dried in large commercial
machines because of their bulk, check with the
manufacturer of the item if it is suitable for drying in
a domestic machine, even if the dry weight of the
item is within the limit advised.
■ Always check that no cigarette lighters have been
left in pockets.
■ Leave the porthole door slightly ajar when not in
use to preserve the door seal.
■ The fluff filter must be cleaned after every use.
■ Do not operate the appliance with a damaged filter
as this may cause a fire.
■ Do not overload the appliance.
■ Do not allow fluff to accumulate around the dryer.
SERVICE/REPAIR
■ Under no circumstances should you attempt to
repair the machine yourself. Repairs carried out by
inexperienced persons may cause injury or serious
malfunctioning. Refer to your local Tricity Bendix
Service Centre. Always insist on genuine Tricity
Bendix spare parts.
GENERAL SAFETY
■ It is dangerous to modify or try to modify the speci-
fications of this appliance in any way.
■ This appliance is designed to be used by adults.
Children should not be allowed to touch the controls or play with the product.
■ Pets and small children may climb into tumble dry-
ers. Check your appliance each time before use.
ENVIRONMENT PROTECTION
■ The materials used on this appliance marked with
the symbol are recyclable.
This means that they can be recycled by disposing
of them properly in appropriate collection containers.
■ If you take your appliance to a refuse disposal
site, cut off the power cable flush with the appliance to avoid the danger of the appliance being reused, and disable the door catch to prevent children becoming trapped inside.

Positioning
The appliance may be placed in any room, provided
the following precautions are taken.
The appliance expels hot, very moist air. The rest of
the house must be able to easily absorb this moisture.
Normally, absorption is only possible in houses where
there is very little humidity. Otherwise, the room must
have ventilation towards the outside; generally, an
open door or window is enough.
The capacity of the venting circuit must be at least
150 m3/hour. Check that the air inlet and outlet vents
are unobstructed.
The best way of evacuating the moisture is through a
vent hose to the outside of the building. Use the special 100 mm diameter flexible hose supplied with the
appliance connected to one of the air outlet vents with
the collar supplied.
The unused outlets must be covered.
Never connect the air vent hose into an existing discharge pipe or duct, as this could be dangerous, might
disturb neighbours and could cause the dryer to malfunction.
This product is supplied with a 2.50 metre vent
hose, although the maximum length of the vent
hose may be:
4 metres with no bends, or
2 metres with 2 bends.
Advice: If the hose is long and the room temperature
low, the moisture might condense to water inside the
hose. This is an unavoidable natural phenomenon.
To prevent this water from Iying in the hose or flowing
back into the tumble dryer, it is advisable to drill a
small hole (dia. 3 mm) in the lowest point of the hose
and to place a small container below it.(See picture,
point A).
Problems can be encountered in rooms fitted with a
very powerful central extractor fan. If you find that drying times are too long, switch off the extractor or close
its grille whilst the tumble dryer is in use.
A highly effective solution is to simply poke the vent
hose through a window or skylight. This might however cause problems in winter because the dryer will
draw in very cold (and often also very damp) air
through the open window, so increasing drying times
and leading to very high energy consumption.
If the dryer is fitted next to kitchen units, make
sure that the vent hose is not squashed. If the
hose is partially squashed, drying efficiency wlll
be reduced, resulting in longer drying times and
higher energy consumption.
If the hose is completely squashed, the safety cutouts with which the machine is fitted may operate.
Condensation discharge through the vent
hose
Condensation may be discharged either through a
vent outlet provided at the back or through the left or
right side outlet.
The vent hose collar is placed in the rear vent outlet.
Remove the collar by
pulling it out of the vent
outlet. Screw the collar to
the vent hose.
Fit the hose into the
required vent outlet, and
place vent covers provided over the unused outlets.
Connect the other end of the hose to an opening in a
door or window. Fit a suitable shield or point the hose
downwards to prevent any rain water and wind from
getting in.
Rain and wind shields for placing over openings usually consist of valves or movable flaps. Periodically
check the shield since strong winds and other factors
(rust, dirt) can sometimes prevent it from opening, so
causing problems with air venting.
If you use a rain shield, check that the openings in it
are large enough to allow air to escape. Openings
which are too small restrict the flow of air.

The vent hose must not
contain more than two
bends when it is placed in
position for operation.
You should NOT con-
nect the flexible vent
hose to, for example, a
chimney or flue pipe
designed to carry the
exhaust from a fuel burning heating appliance.
The tumble dryer must be installed in a clean place,

where dirt does not build up.
Make sure there are no
obstructing items or
material near the air-intake louvres provided at
the back (e.g. paper,
rags
etc.).
Important
When operating the tumble dryer, the room temperature must not exceed 35°C, as it may affect the performance of the appliance.
To save energy, the room temperature should not be
lower than +15°C.
Levelling
Level the tumble dryer
into place by screwing or
unscrewing the front feet
as required.
Door reversal
To make it easier to load or unload the laundry the
door can be reversed.
This operation must be carried out by qualified
personnel.
Operate as follows:
- Remove the door by unscrewing the two screws (1)
fastening the hinge to the cabinet (Fig. A).
- Remove the safety catch (2) by pressing it downwards (Fig. A) and refit it on the opposite side of the
door.
- Using a screwdriver, remove screws (3), plastic
plate (4) and plug (5), see picture A. Take care not
the damage the cabinet.
Refit them on the opposite side (Fig. B)
- Refit the door by screwing in the two screws (1)
which fasten the door to the cabinet (Fig. B).
Accurate levelling will
keep vibration and
noise to a minimum
when the dryer is in
use.
