Where to put your dryer  
GB  
In conjunction with the vent tube we recommend  
using a Wall/Window Vent Kit, available at a retail  
location or the nearest Spare Parts Dealer.

Place your dryer at a distance from gas ranges,  
stoves, heaters, or cook tops because flames can  
damage the appliance.

that is not damp and has proper air circulation  
throughout. the dryer will not operate efficiently in  
an enclosed space or cupboard.  
Window mounting  
1. With a stacked dryer  
the hole in the window  
should ideally be made  
below the vent.  
! We do not recommend that the dryer is installed in a  
cupboard but the dryer must never be installed  
behind a lockable door, a sliding door or a door with a  
hinge on the opposite side to that of the dryer door.  
2. The tube should be  
kept as short as possible.  
Ventilation  
The Dryer dries your laundry by drawing in cool, clean  
and relatively dry air, heating it, and then distributing  
it through the clothes as they are gently tumbled. For  
optimum performance, the moist air is then blown out  
through a vent tube at the back of the dryer.  
Depending on how often you use your dryer, it is  
essential that areas A and B are checked periodically  
to remove lint or debris.  
The vent tube adaptor must be fitted securely thus  
preventing any humid air from being emitted back into  
the room.  
When the dryer is in use, there has to be adequate  
ventilation to avoid the back flow of gases into the room  
from appliances burning other fuels, including open fires.  
! The Dryer should not be pushed so far back that the  
tube adaptor is pulled out of position or the tube is  
squashed or bent.  
Mobile venting  
! The tube should be kept clear of the air intake vent  
and kinks or ‘U’ bends must be avoided as these will  
obstruct the tube or trap condensation.  
A vent tube must always be fitted when the dryer is  
used in conjunction with Mobile Venting.  
The tube must be fitted securely into the back of the  
dryer (see Dryer Description). If possible, it is always  
best to connect the tube to a permanent  
outlet close to the dryer. If permanent installation is  
not possible, the dryer will work just as well with the  
tube passing through a partly-opened window.  
! Ensure that the end of the tube is not directed  
toward the air intake vent at the rear of the dryer.  
! The vent tube should not exceed 2.4 metres in  
length and should be kept free of any possible  
accumulation of fluff, lint and water by shaking it out  
frequently. Always ensure that the tube is not  
squashed.

! Ensure that the dryer is adequately ventilated and  
that the end of the vent tube is not directed towards  
the air intake duct.  
! The vent tube must always be fitted for optimum  
performance.  
! If the plug being replaced is a non-rewirable type,  
then the cut-off plug must be disposed of safely. DO  
NOT leave it where it can be inserted into a socket  
and create a shock hazard.  
! Make sure that the vent tube and air intake vents  
are not obstructed or blocked.  
! The power supply cord should be checked periodically  
and replaced by a cord specially prepared for this  
dryer and fitted only by authorised technicians (see  
Service). New or longer power cords are supplied at  
an extra charge by authorised dealers.  
! The dryer must not recycle exhaust air.  
! Misusing a tumble dryer may create a fire hazard.  
! Do not discharge exhaust air into a flue which is  
used for exhaust fumes from other appliances that  
burn gas or other fuels.  
! The manufacturer denies any responsibility should  
any of these rules not be followed.  
! If in doubt about any of the above consult a qualified  
electrician.  
Electrical connections  
Make sure of the following before you insert the plug  
into the the electrical socket:

maximum power, which is indicated on the rating  
label (see Dryer Description).  
Power voltage must be within the values indicated  
on the rating label (see Dryer Description).  
The socket must be compatible with the dryers  
plug. Should this not be the case, replace the  
plug or the socket.  
When you have installed  
your dryer in its final  
location check that it is  
level first side to side,  
then front to back.

! The dryer must not be installed outdoors, even if the  
space is sheltered. It can be very dangerous if it is  
exposed to rain or storms.  
! Once installed, the dryers electrical wire and plug  
must be within easy reach.  
! Do not use extension cords.  
! The power cord must not be bent or squashed.  
! The power cord supplied is fitted with a BS1363 plug  
and a 13 amp BS1362 fuse. If you need to replace the  
fuse, use only those rated at 13 amp (13A) and ASTA  
approved to BS1362.  
If the dryer is not level,  
use a wooden block to  
support it while adjusting  
the two front legs up or  
down, until your dryer is  
level.  
Moulded plug  
! The plug must not be used  
without the fuse cover in place.  
If a replacement fuse holder/cover  
is required, it must be of the  
same colour coding or wording  
as shown on the base of the plug.  
Replacements are available from  
authorised dealers.  
Before you start using your dryer

Easy Iron Programme  
‘Easy Iron’ is a short 10 minute programme (8 minutes of heat followed by a 2 minute cool tumble period) which  
fluffs the fibres of clothing that have been left in the same position/location for an extended period of time. The  
cycle relaxes the fibres and makes them easier to iron and fold.  
! ‘Easy Iron’ is not a drying programme and should not be used for wet articles of clothing.  
For best results:  
1. Do not load more than the maximum capacity.  
These numbers refer to the dry weight:  
Fabric  
Maximum load  
Cotton and Cotton mixtures  
Synthetics  
2.5kg  
2kg  
Denim  
2kg  
2. Unload the dryer immediately after the end of the programme, hang, fold or iron the articles and put  
them away in the closet. Should this not be possible repeat the programme.  
The ‘Easy Iron’ effect varies from one fabric to the next. It works well on traditional fabrics like Cotton or Cotton  
mix, and less well on acrylic fibres and on materials such as Tencel®.

If this happens simply give them an additional short  
period of drying.

Laundry  
Times are approximate and can vary depending upon:  
Special clothing items  
GB  
G
Amount of water retained in clothes after spin  
cycle: towels and delicates retain a lot of water.  
Blankets and Bedspreads: acrylic items (Acilan,  
Courtelle, Orion, Dralon) must be dried with special  
care on LOW heat setting. Avoid drying for a long  
period of time.  
G
Fabrics: items that are the same type of fabric but  
different textures and thicknesses may not have  
the same drying time.  
Pleated or creased garments: read the manufacturer’s  
drying instructions on the garment.  
G
Quantity of laundry: single items or small loads  
may take longer to dry.  
Starched articles: do not dry these with non-  
starched items. Make sure that as much of the  
starch solution is removed from the load as possible  
before placing it in the dryer. Do not over-dry: the  
starch will become powdery and leave your clothing  
limp, which defeats the purpose of starch.  
G
Dryness: If you are going to iron some of your  
clothes, they can be taken out while still a bit  
damp. Others can be left longer if you need them  
to be completely dry.  
G
Heat setting.  
G
Room temperature: if the room where the dryer is  
located is cold, it will take longer for the dryer to  
dry your clothes.  
Drying times  
The table below presents APPROXIMATE drying times  
in minutes. Weights refer to dry garments:  
G
Bulk: some bulky items can be tumble dried with  
care. We suggest that you remove these items  
several times, shake them out, and return them to  
the dryer until finished.

it. Keep the door closed to make sure that children  
do not use it as a toy.  
G
G
The appliance must be installed correctly and have  
proper ventilation. The air intake vents behind the  
machine, the outlet vents and the vent tube should  
never be obstructed (see Installation).  
Disposal of old electrical appliances  
The European Directive 2002/96/EC on Waste Electrical  
and Electronic Equipment (WEEE), requires that old  
household electrical appliances must not be disposed  
of in the normal unsorted municipal waste stream. Old  
appliances must be collected separately in order to  
optimise the recovery and recycling of the materials  
they contain and reduce the impact on human health  
and the environment.  
G
Never direct the vent tube outlet towards the air  
intake at the back of the machine.  
Never allow the tumble dryer to recycle exhaust air.  
Never use the dryer on carpeting where the pile  
height would prevent air from entering the dryer  
from the base.  
Check to see if the dryer is empty before loading it.

when you dispose of the appliance it must be  
separately collected.  
G
Do not use the dryer unless the filter is securely in  
place (see Maintenance).  
Do not use liquid fabric softeners in the dryer, add  
it to the final rinse of your wash.

Maintenance and Care  
Switching off the electricity  
Check the drum after each cycle  
GB  
Unplug your dryer when not using it, when cleaning it  
and during all maintenance operations.  
Turn the drum manually in order to remove small  
items (handkerchiefs) that could have been left  
behind.  
Clean the filter after each cycle  
Cleaning the drum  
The filter is an important part of your dryer:  
it accumulates lint and fluff that is formed while drying.  
Small items could also become trapped in the filter.  
When finished drying, therefore, clean the filter by  
rinsing it under running water or with your vacuum  
cleaner. Should the filter become clogged up, the airflow  
inside the dryer will be seriously compromised: drying  
times lengthen and you will consume more energy. It  
may also damage your dryer.  
! Do not use abrasives, steel wool or stainless steel  
cleaning agents to clean the drum.  
A coloured film may start to appear on the stainless  
steel drum, this may be caused by a combination of  
water and, or cleaning agents such as fabric conditioner  
from the wash. This coloured film will not affect the  
dryer performance.  
The filter is found in front  
of the dryer trim (see  
diagram).  
Cleaning  
G
External parts in metal or plastic and rubber parts  
can be cleaned with a damp cloth.  
G
Periodically check the vent tube and any permanent  
venting fixture to make sure that there has been  
no accumulation of fluff or lint, and remove it.  
G
Remove lint that collects around the filter and the  
outlet vents.  
Removing the filter:  
1. Pull the plastic grip of  
the filter upwards (see  
diagram).  
! Do not use solvents or abrasives.  
! Your dryer uses special bearing components which  
do not need lubrication.  
2. Clean the filter and  
replace it correctly.  
Ensure the filter is fully  
located flush into the  
tumble dryer trim.  
! Have your dryer checked regularly by authorised  
technicians to ensure electrical and mechanical safety  
(see Service).  
! Do not use the dryer without replacing the filter.
