THE CONTROLS PREPARATION
A. THE TIMER
Select the required dryer time based on the recommendations
on the control panel.
B. HEAT SWITCH(ES)

D. START BUTTON
Press start button after selecting the required drying time.
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
Do not tumble dry
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.
7. Position the machine in a well ventilated room. Make sure
that the air inlet at the front is not blocked.
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
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). Then press start button.
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.
If the door is opened during a cycle the dryer will stop. To restart,
close the door. When drying large items such as sheets, we
suggest you periodically stop the dryer to redistribute the load.
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.
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
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
ANY PROBLEMS
If the clothes are not dry after normal drying time:
– Check that you used the correct heat 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 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 the machine has the correct weight load in the
drum before starting the appliance.
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.
