ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
ANY PROBLEMS
If the clothes are not dry after normal drying time:
– Check that you used the correct heater setting.
– Check that you have not set the timer within a cool
down period.
– Check that the lint filter has been cleaned. A blocked
filter will restrict the airflow.
– Check that your dryer is heating - below the door to the
right 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, a sharp “click” will be heard. This cut-
out only operates if the airflow is severely restricted so
make sure the filter is clean, the air inlets and outlets at
the front and back are not blocked, 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.
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 the plug internal connections.
OPTIONAL EXTRAS

washing machine (to save floor space).
The above items can be purchased as accessories for your tumble
dryer from your supplier.
TECHNICAL DATA
OVERALL DIMENSIONS:
Height: 85 cm Width: 59.5 cm Depth: 53 cm
MAXIMUM DRY WEIGHT LOADS:
Cotton 6kg
(for minimum creasing 2kg)
Delicates 2kg
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.
OPERATION
Open the door.
Load clothes loosely into the drum.
Load sheets first, starting with one corner.
Close the door.
Dry your hands.
Check that the timer is in the ‘0’ position.
Plug in the machine.
Select correct heat position (see programme chart on control
panel for recommendations).
Set the timer to the required time setting (see programme chart
on control panel for recommendations).
The drum will begin rotating. Reversing drum models will stop
every few minutes to rotate in the reverse direction for a short
time.
Should the clothes become dry before the cycle has finished, or if
an excessive programme time has been selected, the drum will
continue to rotate while the thermostat will automatically switch
the heater off to prevent over-drying and save energy.
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.
NEVER SWITCH THE DRYER OFF AND LEAVE A
HOT LOAD IN THE DRUM.
When drying large items such as sheets, we suggest you
periodically stop the dryer to redistribute the load.
To stop the machine during the middle of the programme simply
open the door; the drum will stop rotating automatically and
restart when you close the door.
To lengthen or shorten a timed programme, reset the timer knob.
AFTER REMOVING THE DRIED CLOTHES:
ALWAYS CLEAN THE FILTER. Failure to clean the filter will
extend drying times and could cause the safety cut-out to
operate. There are two types of filter your dryer main contain.
– 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 and with a
soft brush to remove small
particles.
THE CONTROLS
PREPARATION
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

INSTALLATION
TUMBLE DRYER VENTING
Your tumble dryer will release warm, damp air in one of these
three ways:
The best solution is to make a permanent connection through
either a wall or a window. This is particularly recommended for
small, cool rooms and a kit for this purpose is available as an
accessory. However, venting arrangement (1) requires that it be
converted to rear venting before a permanent connection can be
made.
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.
– The vent hose must not be shared with other appliances, for
example, a cooker hood outlet.
– When drying, the vent hose must always be extended to an
open door or window.
FINAL INSTALLATION
Place the filter in 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.
FITTING OF FILTER
Grip middle piece of filter with fingers.
Face the brush bar at the bottom
edge of the filter to the front.
Slide the filter into the space below
the door in a right angle position.
(1) Front Venting. Venting
through a grille on the plinth.
A kit is available to convert to
rear venting.
(2) Fixed Rear Venting. Venting
through a hole at the bottom of
the back panel. A vent hose is
available to convert to
extendible rear venting.
(3) Extendible Rear Venting.
This contains a retractable vent
hose.
