Important Safety Information
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

■
If the tumble dryer is placed on top of a washing
machine, it is compulsory to use the stacking kit

tumble dryers. Please check your drum before use.
Keep all packaging well away for children.
■
Use
■
Do not overload the appliance (see programme
chart).
■
Clothes which are dripping wet should not be
placed in the dryer.
■
As some bulky items such as duvets and
eiderdowns 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.
■
Please make sure that no gas lighters have
accidentally been left in pockets of garments to be
loaded into appliance.
■
Danger of explosion: Never tumble dry items that
have been in contact with inflammable solvents
(petrol, methylated spirits, dry cleaning fluid and

could cause an explosion. Tumble dry only items
washed with water.
■
In order to avoid danger of fires caused by
excessive drying, do not use appliance to dry the
following items:
■
Cushions, quilts and the like (these items
accumulate heat).
■

Your New Tumble Dryer
This tumble dryer will give your wash that soft, relaxed feel whatever
the weather.
Extremely high quality standards both during development and
manufacturing guarantee a long service life for your appliance.
Maximum economy in the operation of your dryer is achieved through
very frugal electricity consumption and short drying times.
Energy saving tips
To save energy we recommend that you follow these
hints:
■
Try to load the maximum capacity of the machine
as small loads are uneconomical.
■
Always load well spun laundry. The higher the
spin speed, the lower the electricity consumption
and the shorter the drying times.
■
Do not over-dry laundry, this avoids creasing and
saves energy.
■
Clean the filter regularly to avoid excessive drying
times and high electricity consumption.
■
Ventilate the room well. The room temperature
should not exceed +35°C during drying.
In the interest
of the environment
■
Materials marked with the symbol are
recyclable.
■
Check with your local Council or Environmental
Health Office to see if there are facilities in your
area for re-cycling this appliance.
■
When the appliance is to be scrapped, cut off the
power supply cable and make the door closing
device unusable to prevent young children from
being trapped inside.
■
Help to keep your country tidy - use authorised
disposal sites for your old appliance.

environment? We use recycled paper!

The Control Panel
1 Programme Chart
This will help you to select the correct time for
drying.
2 Low Temperature Button
Press this button to reduce the temperature when
drying particularly delicate cotton or linen items.
In this case you should select a longer drying time.
On the programmes for synthetics the temperature is
automatically reduced.
Therefore it is not necessary to depress this button.
3 Cool Tumble Button
By depressing this button the heat is cut off. This is
particularly useful to freshen the laundry (e.g. to
remove a persistent odour of moth-balls). Select 2030 mins max.
4 Mains-On Light
This lights up when the machine starts operating and
goes out at the end of the programme.
5 Drying Time Selector Dial
The selector dial incorporates two drying cycles, one
of up to 120 minutes at a high temperature for cotton
and linen, and one of up to 80 minutes at a low
temperature for synthetic fabrics.
To set the machine to the selected time, turn the dial
clockwise until the time you want coincides exactly
with the pointer.
NEVER attempt to turn the dial in an anticlockwise
direction.
When selecting the drying time, you should
remember that it includes a 10 minute cooling phase
(position on the dial).
This phase should not be shortened, stopped or
avoided, as this could cause skin burns or damages to
the laundry.
