IMPORTANT USER INFORMATION
–This tumble dryer is intended for NORMAL DOMESTIC
USE ONLY.

- Adequate ventilation must be provided to avoid back flow of

gases into the room from appliances burning other fuels.
Including open fires.

- Exhaust air must not be discharged into a flue which is used

for exhausting fumes from appliances burning gas or other
fuel.

–Please note it is not recommended that the dryer is placed

directly next to ovens or cookers as the performance of the
dryer may be affected.

- The tumble dryer is not to be used if industrial chemicals

have been used for cleaning.

- The appliance must not be installed behind a lockable door, a

sliding door or a door with a hinge on the opposite side to that
of the tumble dryer, in such a way that a full opening of the
tumble dryer door is restricted.

–A carpet must not obstruct the ventilation openings in the
base of the dryer.
–Do not stack the tumble dryer on top of other appliances
without the correct stacking kit.
–Any electrical work required to install the appliance should
be carried out by a qualified person.
–It is important to clean the lint filter after each drying cycle
or the restrictions to airflow will extend drying times and
could cause the safety cut-out to trip.
–Under no circumstances should anything other than the
recommended articles be placed in the tumble dryer.
–The tumble dryer should be serviced by an appointed service
organisation and only genuine parts used.
–It is dangerous to alter or modify the product in any way

dryer so that the back is not accessible while in operation, but
ensure that the sides have a space available to allow airflow.
–The special mains cable and plug assembly must only be
replaced with a genuine part from the manufacturer or our
appointed service agent.
It is important to clean fluff from the window of the dryer and
around the door seal after each drying cycle. Failure to do so
could result in water leaking.

WARNING: Never stop a tumble dryer before the end of a
drying cycle unless all items are quickly removed and spread
out so that heat is dissipated.
Remove all objects from pockets such as lighters and matches.
DO NOT use a two-way adaptor, or extension lead. The dryer
must be connected to its own socket.

parts.

WARNING: The appliance must not be supplied through an
external switching device, such as a timer, or connected to a
circuit that is regularly switched on and off by a utility

INSTALLATION

Position the tumble dryer so that the plug remains accessible after installation. Do not block the vent at the front or
base of the dryer, as this will impair the working of the machine.

TUMBLE DRYER VENTING
Your tumble dryer will release warm, damp air in one of three ways.

1) EXTENDABLE REAR VENTING - A long flexible vent hose is built into the dryer

and can be extended from the large opening at the rear of the machine

2) FIXED REAR VENTING - Venting is through the large opening at the bottom of
the rear panel. A separate extendible vent hose can be attached if desired.

3) FRONT VENTING - This is a special type of dryer which vents through a grille on the
plinth. The opening on the rear panel is blanked off during manufacturing.
Rear vented dryers can be used without a vent hose but not in a confined space. Rear vented machines must
have a vent hose if they are installed under a work surface. To minimise condensation it is preferable to vent
through a vent to outside. This may be through an open door or window. The best solution is to connect the vent
hose to a permanent connection through a wall or a single glazed window.
This is particularly recommended for small, cool rooms. A kit for this purpose is available as an accessory.
Front venting machines must be converted to extendible rear venting before a permanent connection can be
made to the outside.
When using a vent hose, remember the following points:
The vent hose must be at least 10cm (4 ins) in diameter.
No more than three right-angled bends should be allowed when positioning the vent hose.
Do not distort or constrict the vent hose as this will reduce the airflow.
The vent hose must not be shared with other appliances, for example, a cooker hood outlet.

FINAL INSTALLATION

Push the filter into its operating position as shown in
the diagram. If you wish to change the side on which
your door opens, see the instructions on the back
page. Remove any dust by wiping the drum and door
with a damp cloth. Any initial smell of burning will
be caused by dust on the heater and will quickly
disappear.

CARE LABELS YOU MAY FIND ON YOUR FABRICS

Do not tumble dry woollen or wool mixture articles unless the article is labelled as being suitable .This should
avoid shrinkage.
Place delicate articles, e.g.tights, scarves, inside a pillowcase.
To avoid the need to iron easycare polyester/cotton items it is better to only dry small loads (i.e. half fill drum) It is
better to dry small and large articles together.
Fabric softeners, or similar products, should be used as specified by the fabric softener instructions. Do not
overload the dryer or dry large bulky items such as duvets or sleeping bags as it is important that the airflow
through the dryer is not obstructed.
The final part of a tumble dryer cycle occurs without heat (cool down cycle) to ensure that the items are left at a
temperature that ensures that the items will not be damaged.
Items that have been soiled with substances such as cooking oil, acetone, alcohol, petrol, kerosene, spot removers,
turpentine, waxes and wax removers should be washed in hot water with an extra amount of detergent before being
dried in the tumble dryer.
Items such as foam rubber (latex foam), shower caps, waterproof textiles, rubber backed articles and clothes or
pillows fitted with foam rubber pads should not be dried in the tumble dryer.
