1. INSTALLATION
TUMBLE DRYER VENTING
Your tumble dryer will release warm, damp air in one of these
ways:
A permanent connection can be made 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.
The dryer can be used with or without a vent hose but when
using a vent hose, remember the following points:
– The vent hose must be at least 10cm (4 ins) in diameter.
– No more than 4 metres in length and three right-angled
bends should be allowed when positioning the vent hose.
– Do not distort or constrict the vent hose as this will reduce
airflow.
– 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
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.
(1) 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.
(2) Extendible Rear Venting.
This contains a retractable vent
hose.
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.
Choose the final dryness level.
Select the required heat setting.
Select the required energy setting and press start.
The drum will rotate in an anticlockwise direction, with the drying
status light (if fitted) flashing once.
The drum will now begin to rotate clockwise and will stop
automatically when your clothes are dry. The drum will stop and
rotate in the other direction for a short while every few minutes.
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.
When drying mixed loads, the dryer may stop when the lighter
items are dry. These should be removed and the dryer restarted
to allow the heavier items to continue drying.
There is an automatic 9 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 clean the filter will
extend drying times and could cause the safety cut-out to
operate.
– 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.
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 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.

desired dryness. (see programme chart).
Note: The use of an iron dry programme will use 30%
less energy than a cupboard dry programme.
D. MIN.(SLOW)
This can be selected at any time with any of the dryness
programmes.
Note: When selected, the drying time will be extended
by approximately 4 times, however the total energy
consumed per cycle is 30% less compared to the fast
mode.
The savings from the use of the min.(slow) Energy mode
are additional to those from the use of the iron dry
programmes.
E. HEAT SELECTOR
To select full or half heat.
