emptied after every cycle (except when a drain hose kit is fitted).
B. BOTTLE FULL LIGHT: This will light up and the machine will
stop if the water bottle is full or if it has not been pushed fully
back into the correct position. If the bottle is removed and
replaced during the cycle the start button must be pressed to
restart the dryer.
C. FINAL DRYNESS: Select the desired final dryness of the load
with a choice of a dry or extra dry setting.

Check care labels inside the garments.
CARE LABELS YOU MAY FIND ON YOUR
FABRICS
Do not tumble dry woollen or wool mixture articles unless the
article is labelled to be suitable due to a possibility of shrinkage.
Roll dripping wet articles in a towel to remove excess water.
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.
We suggest a fabric conditioner to be used to reduce static
electricity.
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.
Do not place items contaminated with inflammable substances
in the dryer, such as petrol, cleaning solvents, cooking oil, fat, or
hair lacquer.These can cause fires. For the same reason, do not
dry rubber, foam rubber, plastic or paper.
Suitable for tumble drying
Tumble dry using full heat
Tumble dry using half heat

THE CONTROLS PREPARATION
INSTALLATION
INSTALLATION OF THE DRAIN KIT
Your dryer may be supplied with a drain kit. This can be fitted so
that the condensed water can be emptied into a waste-pipe
instead of the water bottle in the machine. If a kit is not supplied,
one can be obtained from your
dealer.
The illustration shows the
minimum space required by the
dryer and the position of the
waste-pipe within this space and
behind the dryer. If a trap is fitted
it must not obstruct the air inlet at
the back of the dryer.
The waste pipe can be positioned
on either side of the dryer.
If the waste pipe is used by both
the dryer and a washing machine then its diameter must be
large enough to contain both hoses - 1.5” bore (38mm)
minimum.
1. Unscrew the plastic nut J from the connector at the top, rear
of the machine. Remove and discard the plastic disc. Keep
the rubber washer K.
2. Push the flanged tube L into the connector as shown until
the flange is fully seated.
3. Push the free end of the hose through the threaded end of
the nut and pull through so that the flange of the plastic
elbow, at the other end of the hose is seated against the
inside of the nut.
4. Insert the rubber washer K.
5. Screw the nut onto the connector on the back of the machine
and position the elbow so that the hose will fit into the waste-
pipe. Shorten the hose if necessary. Tighten the nut.
6. Move the machine into its working position with the drain
hose inserted into the waste pipe.
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 from the heater
should disappear after the first
period of heating.
Position the tumble dryer so that
the plug remains accessible after
installation. Do not block the vent at
the front of the dryer, as this will
impair the working of the machine.

OPERATION
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
ANY PROBLEMS
If the clothes are not dry after normal drying time:
– Check that the lint filter has been cleaned. A blocked filter will
restrict the airflow.
– Check that the machine has the correct weight load in the
drum, this machine will stop after approximately 40 seconds
if the drum is empty.
– Check that the door striker is in place if the machine is a large
door opening model.
– Check that the condenser unit and associated duct work are
clean. If blocked these will restrict the airflow.
– Check that your dryer is heating - below the door to the left
side, should feel warm to the touch after the first 10-15
minutes of its programme. Failure to heat may indicate the
safety cut-out has operated. To reset, simply press the red
button at the rear of the machine. If it has operated then a
sharp “click” will be heard. This cut-out only operates if the
airflow is severely restricted so make sure the filter is clean
and that all other restrictions are removed before re-starting.
If the cut-out continues to operate after checking the above
points, you should contact your service agent.
– Check that you have selected the correct dryness setting.
If your machine does not work check the following before calling
a service engineer:
– Check that there is a supply of electricity.
– Check that the door has been properly closed and the
machine is switched on.
– Check that the water bottle has been withdrawn from, and
replaced into the machine.
– Check the plug internal connections.
OPTIONAL EXTRAS
Drain Hose Kit
To enable your dryer to be connected to a drain to remove the
need to empty the water bottle.
The above item can be purchased as an accessory for your
tumble dryer from your supplier.
TECHNICAL DATA

For electrical ratings see plate on back of dryer.
For Model No. see serial plate inside door (needed when
requesting service).
Room temperature range 5˚C to 30˚C.
Your washing machine should have a spin speed of not less
than 800rpm.
The ‘dry’ setting was used to rate the energy efficiency of this
appliance.
Open the door.
Load clothes loosely into the drum.
Load sheets first starting with one corner.
Close the door.
Dry your hands.
Plug in the machine.
Select either dry or extra dry, using the button.
Press the start button.
If the machine has no load in the drum it will switch off
automatically after approximately 40 seconds
The drum will now begin to rotate and will stop automatically
when your clothes are dry. The drum will stop and turn in the
other direction for a short while every few minutes.
There is an automatic 12 minute cool down period at the end of
every cycle, during which the heater is switched off. This helps
to minimise creasing. The dryer on neon will remain lit until the
end of the cycle.
At the end of the cycle the neon will flash to indicate that the
dryer is in anti-crease. The drum will rotate periodically until you
open the door or disconnect from the mains to stop it. This helps
to minimise creasing.
If the door is opened during a cycle the dryer will stop. If a load
is checked mid cycle restart the appliance by, closing the door
and pressing the start button. When drying large items such as
sheets, we suggest you periodically stop the dryer to redistribute
the load.
NEVER SWITCH THE DRYER OFF AND LEAVE A HOT LOAD
IN THE DRUM.
AFTER REMOVING THE DRIED CLOTHES
ALWAYS CLEAN THE FILTER. Failure to do so could cause the
safety cut-out to operate.
ALWAYS EMPTY THE WATER BOTTLE
– Pull the filter upwards and away from
the appliance.
– Remove any threads or fluff by hand or
with a soft brush.
– Slide the filter back.
–Wash the filter occasionally in detergent
solution using a soft brush to remove
small particles.
– Open the door, pull out and empty the
bottle.
– Replace the bottle ensuring that it is
pushed all the way in - if it is not, the
dryer will not operate.
– If the dryer is connected to a drain there
is no need to empty the bottle but it must
be correctly fitted to the machine.
