Installation Rear view Building under a continous worktop / in a kitchen run ,A building-under kit* with a coverplate to replace the appliance lid is required. It must be fitted by a suitably qualified person to ensure electrical safety. N.B. If you wish to push your appliance under a worktop and there is space to do this without removing the lid the building-under kit is not necessary. Otherwise it is essential.
Installation Levelling the appliance ,Do not block the gap between the bottom of the tumble dryer and the floor with plinth facings, deep pile carpet etc. This would hinder a sufficient flow of air to the dryer. Room ventilation The dryer must be perfectly level to ensure safe and proper operation. The air which is taken in when the dryer is in operation is blown out of the front of the dryer and warms up the air in the room. It is very important to ensure adequate ventilation, e.g.
Installation External condensed water outlet General notes ^ There will be a small amount of residual water in the drain hose. Have a container ready to collect this. When drying is in progress, condensed water is pumped into the condensed water container through the drain hose at the back of the dryer. The condensed water can also be drained off directly if the tumble dryer is installed near a sink, drain outlet etc. so that the condensed water container does not have to be emptied. Drain hose length . .
Installation External drainage via a sink or gully ^ See "Front view" illustration. ,If you want to drain the water off into a sink you will need to secure the hose carefully, e.g. by tying it to a tap to make sure it cannot slip during use. Otherwise there is a risk of overflowing water which could cause damage. Example: Connection to a sink drain outlet The drain hose with non-return valve fitted can be connected directly to a suitable sink drain outlet.
Installation ^ Fit adapter 1 to the sink drain outlet using nut 2. If this nut has a flat disc in it you should take the disc out first. ^ Attach the end of hose 4 to adapter 1. ^ Use a screwdriver to tighten hose clip 3 up close to the nut. 1 Adapter 2 Nut 3 Hose clip 4 End of the hose 5 Non-return valve 6 Tumble dryer drain hose ,Non-return valve 5 has to be fitted with the arrow pointing in the direction of flow (i.e. towards the sink). Otherwise water will not drain out of the appliance.
Electrical connection Electrical connection U.K. Non-rewireable plugs BS 1363 All electrical work should be carried out by a suitably qualified and competent person, in strict accordance with current national and local safety regulations (BS 7671 in the UK). The fuse cover must be refitted when changing the fuse, and if the fuse cover is lost, the plug must not be used until a suitable replacement is obtained.

Programmable functions Extending the range of the drying levels You can extend the range of the drying levels for many of the programmes: Machine iron+ (drier than Machine iron). Hand iron+ (drier than Hand iron). Normal+ (drier than Normal). In addition the Extra dry drying level can be made available for the Delicates and Denim programmes.
Programmable functions Anti-crease setting Anti-crease helps prevent creasing, if laundry is not normally removed immediately after the end of a programme. After the programme has finished, the drum will continue to rotate at intervals for: – 2 hours (factory default setting). – 1 hour. It is a good idea to leave the anti-crease function activated to help prevent creasing for when it is not possible to remove laundry immediately after the end of the programme.
Programmable functions Altering the volume of the buzzer The buzzer has two volumes. A Press the Start/Stop button and keep it pressed in whilst carrying out steps B-C. B Press the jk button in. Follow steps A to F to programme and store in memory. Wait until the indicator light for the Start/ Stop button lights up constantly . . . Before you begin, first ensure that: C . . . and then release the Start/Stop button. – The tumble dryer is switched off. – The door is closed.
Programmable functions Memory function The electronics will memorise any extra options selected for a programme. The duration selected for the Warm air or Cool air timed drying programmes will also be stored in memory. These settings will be selected automatically the next time the programme is chosen. You can either accept these or change them by pressing the appropriate button. A Press the Start/Stop button and keep it pressed in whilst carrying out steps B-C. B Press the jk button in.
Programmable functions Extending the cooling down time The cooling down phase which takes place before the end of a programme can be lengthened if required. This makes the garments easier to handle. The cooling down time – can be extended by 5 minutes or 10 minutes. – can only be extended for programmes with drying levels. Follow steps A to F to programme and store in memory. The programmable functions are activated with the buttons.
Programmable functions Clean out airways indicator Fluff should be removed after drying. The Clean out airways indicator will remind you to clean the filters when a certain amount of fluff has collected in the filters. You can decide at what level of fluff this reminder should be given. You will have an idea of which of the four options to select after a few drying programmes. Follow steps A to F to programme and store in memory. Before you begin, first ensure that: – The tumble dryer is switched off.
Programmable functions Keypad tone An audible tone sounds each time a button is pressed. Follow steps A to F to programme and store in memory. Before you begin, first ensure that: – The tumble dryer is switched off. – The door is closed. A Press the Start/Stop button and keep it pressed in whilst carrying out steps B-C. B Press the jk button in. Wait until the indicator light for the Start/ Stop button lights up constantly . . . C . . . and then release the Start/Stop button.
Programmable functions Adjusting the dryer's electronics for very soft water ,In some areas of the UK, water is extremely soft which can affect the sensitivity of the control electronics. If the dryer is installed in an area of very soft water, you should contact your local water supplier for information and advice regarding water hardness and water conductivity. If the water conductivity is less than 150 µS, the following programmable function will need to be activated. Important.
