Drying Hints

Before loading the laundry

Never tumble dry the following:
Particularly delicate items such as net curtains, woollen,

silk, fabrics with metal trim, nylon tights, bulky materials
such as anoraks, blankets, eiderdowns, sleeping bags,
feather quilts and any items containing rubber foam or
materials similar to rubber foam.

• Always follow the instructions on garment labels:
may be tumble dried
normal drying (high temperature)
delicate drying (low temperature)
do not tumble dry

• Close pillowcases and covers with fasteners to prevent

small laundry items getting tangled inside them. Close
press studs, zips and hooks and tie belts and apron
strings.

• Sort laundry according to type and degree of drying re-

quired.

• Do not over-dry laundry, this avoids creasing and saves

energy.

• Avoid drying dark clothes with light coloured fl uffy items
such as towels as they could attract the fl uff.

• The laundry must be thoroughly spun before tumble drying.

• Easy-care items, too, e.g. shirts, should be briefl y pre-spun
before drying (depending on crease resistance approx. 30
seconds or using the special brief spin programme of your
washing machine).

• Knitted textiles (knitted underwear) may shrink a little during
drying. Please do not overdry items of this type. It is advis­able to allow for shrinkage when choosing the size of new
purchases.

• To avoid a static charge when drying is completed, use
either a fabric softener when you are washing the laundry
or a fabric conditioner specifi cally for tumble dryers.

• Remove the laundry when the dryer has fi nished drying.

• If individual items are still damp after drying, set a brief
post-drying time, for at least 30 minutes. This will be
necessary particularly for multilayered items (e.g. collars,
pockets, etc.).

Before the First Use

WARNING!

Ensure that the electrical connections comply with the instal­lation instructions.

IMPORTANT!

Remove any material from the drum.

8

IMPORTANT!

Before using your tumble dryer for the fi rst time, we recom­mend that you place a few damp cloths inside the appliance
and dry for 30 minutes. There may be dust inside a brand
new tumble dryer.

Operating Sequence

1. Check that the lint fi lter is
clean and in place.

IMPORTANT!

Do not operate dryer with­out lint fi lter in place.

2. Load the dryer and close the door.

• Load items loosely. The average wet load will fi ll the
drum 1/3 to 1/2 full. Items need room to tumble freely
for even drying and less wrinkling.

• If desired, place a dryer
fabric softener sheet on
top of the load at the
beginning of the cycle.

• To save energy and time
and avoid uneven dry­ing and wrinkling, do not
overload the dryer.

• When drying large items,
dry only two or three
items at a time. Fill out
the load with small and
medium sized items.

• For delicate or very small
loads, add two or three

similar items to improve tumbling action.

3. Select the appropriate programme and settings for each load.

See «Drying Hints» and «Dryer Programme Table» for more
details.

4. Wake up and start the dryer.

• Close the dryer door. The dryer will not operate with the
door open.

• Push in or turn the cycle selector knob 3 or turn any op­tion knob 1, 2, 4, or 5 to “wake” the dryer. You will hear
three beeps to indicate dryer is ready to operate.

• After making your selections, push in the selector knob
3 to start the cycle. You will hear one beep before the
drum begins to rotate.

• To add or remove items when the dryer is running, push
in the cycle selector knob 3 to pause the cycle and open
the door. Opening the door with a cycle running will also
pause the cycle. You will hear two beeps. Allow the drum
to come to a complete stop before reaching inside. Add
or remove the item, close the door and push in the selec­tor knob 3 again, continuing the current cycle.

• To cancel a running cycle, push in and hold the cycle
selector knob 3 until the dryer discontinues running.

• A signal will sound at the end of the cycle if the chime
option has been selected.

NOTE

If drying a single large or bulky item, such as a comforter,
remove the item part way through the cycle and turn it “inside
out” to maximize drying effectiveness. Place item back in
dryer and re-start cycle.

5. When the programme ends...

• Remove the items promptly and hang or fold.

• You are advised to unplug the appliance.

• Clean the fi lter after every drying programme. A clean
fi lter ensures correct functioning of the appliance.

Care and Cleaning

IMPORTANT:

You must DISCONNECT the appliance from the electricity
supply, before you can carry out any cleaning or maintenance
work.

External cleaning

Use only soap and water and then dry thoroughly.

Important: do not use methylated spirit, diluents or similar
products.

Cleaning the fi lter

Your dryer will only function well if the fi lter is clean.
Clean the lint («fl uff») fi lter after every load. Lint build-up on

the fi lter restricts air fl ow, which causes longer drying times.
The fi lter is located at the bottom of the door opening.

Remove fi lter by pulling straight up. Remove the lint and
replace the fi lter.

Washing the lint fi lter

Occasionally a waxy build­up may form on the lint fi lter
from using dryer-added
fabric softener sheets. To
remove this build-up, wash
it with warm, soapy water.
Dry the fi lter thoroughly and
replace. Do not operate the
dryer without the lint fi lter in
place.

CAUTION!

Do not use furniture cleaners or aggressive cleaning agents
to clean the machine. Use a damp cloth to wipe down the
operating screen and housing.

Installation

Positioning

It is recommended that, for your convenience, the machine is
positioned close to your washing machine.

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.).

To keep vibration and noise to a minimum when the dryer
is in use, it should be placed on a fi rm, level surface. Once
in its permanent operating position, check that the dryer is
absolutely level with the aid of a spirit level. If it is not, raise or
lower the feet until it is.

Venting

Whilst drying, the tumble dryer will expel a certain amount
of warm, very moist air, and this should be removed from
the room as quickly as possible to prevent condensation.
Carry the dryer’s exhaust outside via a 100 mm diameter
venting system ending at a fi xed ventilation grille fi tted to an
exterior wall. The dryer must be exhausted outdoors. Do
not exhaust dryer into a chimney, a wall, a ceiling, an attic, a
crawl space or any concealed space of a building. A clothes
dryer produces combustible lint. If the dryer is not exhausted
outdoors, some fi ne lint will be expelled into the laundry area.
An accumulation of lint in any area of the home can create a
health and fi re hazard.

WARNING!

Exhaust air must not be discharged into a fl ue which is used
for exhausting fumes from appliances burning gas or other
fuels, for example, a cooker hood, or a chimney or fl ue pipe
designed to carry the exhaust from a fuel burning appliance.

The feet must never be removed.
Do not restrict the fl oor clearance through deeppile carpets, strips

of wood or similar. This might cause heat build-up which would
interfere with the operation of the appliance.

Use only 100 cm diameter rigid or fl exible metal duct and
approved vent hood which has a swing-out damper(s) that
open when the dryer is in operation. When the dryer stops,
the dampers automatically close to prevent drafts and the
entrance of insects and rodents. To avoid restricting the
outlet, maintain a minimum of 30 cm clearance between the
vent hood and the ground or any other obstruction.

WARNING!

The appliance must not be installed behind the lockable door,
a sliding door or a door with a hinge on the opposite side to
that of the appliance, in such a way that a full opening of the
tumble dryer door is restricted.

12

Venting, continued

Do not screen the exhaust ends of the vent system, or use
any screws, rivets or other fasteners that extend into the duct
to assemble the exhaust system. Lint can become caught in
the screen, on the screws or rivets, clogging the duct work
and creating a fi re hazard as well as increasing drying times.
Use an approved vent hood to terminate the duct outdoors,
and seal all joints with metal foil duct tape. All male duct pipe
fi ttings MUST be installed downstream with the fl ow of air.

Install male fi ttings in correct direction:

correct incorrect

Exceeding the length of duct pipe or number of elbows
allowed in the “MAXIMUM LENGTH” chart can cause an ac­cumulation of lint in the exhaust system. Plugging the system
could create a fi re hazard, as well as increase drying times.

Ecological tips

• Keep the lint screen clean and exhaust the dryer correctly.

• Sort laundry properly and select proper temperature and

cycle settings. Choose an automatic dry cycle whenever
possible for accurate drying time.

• Dry only full loads. Single items and small loads usually

take longer to dry.

• Avoid overloading, adding wet items to a partially dry load,

and overdrying.

• Dry one load after another to take advantage of a warm

dryer.

• Opening the door needlessly causes warm air to escape,

which prolongs drying time.

• If possible, use the dryer on low humidity days.

• Install the dryer in an area where the room temperature is

at least 7°C.
