Installation

Installation requirements

IMPORTANT: This dryer must be

installed such that the air inlets and

outlets are not restricted (fig. 1).

There should be a gap of at least 12mm

(0.5 inches) between the sides rear and base

of the machine and the surrounding walls,

cabinets and floor.

To ensure adequate ventilation the space

between the bottom of the machine and the

floor must not be obstructed.

NEVER install the dryer up against

curtains.

Prevent items from falling or collecting

behind and beneath the dryer as these may

obstruct the air inlets and outlets.

Preparing the load

Before using the dryer for the first time

wipe the inside of the drum and door with a

damp cloth.

Make sure that the laundry you are going to

dry is suitable for drying in a tumble dryer,

as shown by the care symbols on each item.

Clothes preparation

Check that all fastenings are closed and that

pockets are empty. Turn the articles inside

out. Place clothes loosely in the drum to

make sure that they don’t get tangled.

Do not overload the drum, particularly

when drying large items, otherwise, the

laundry may stick to the drum and not dry

evenly.

Maximum drying weight

●Cottons Max. 6 kg

●Synthetics Max. 3 kg

Sort the load as follows:

A) By care symbols

On the collar or inside seam:

Suitable for tumble drying.

Tumble drying at high temperature.

Tumble drying at low temperature only.

Do not tumble dry.

B) By amount and thickness

Whenever the load is bigger than the

dryer capacity, separate clothes

according to thickness (e.g. towels from

thin underwear).

C) By type of fabric

Cottons/linen: Towels, cotton jersey,

bed and table linen.

05651181 25/6/01 8:33 pm Page 4

Synthetics: Blouses, shirts, overalls, etc.

made of polyester or polyamid, as well

as for cotton/synthetic mixes.

D) By drying level

●Sort into: iron dry, cupboard dry, etc.

●For delicate articles press the ‘HEAT

SETTING’ button to select low drying

temperature.

Do not tumble dry:

Woollens, silk, delicate fabrics, nylon

stockings, delicate embroidery, fabrics with

metallic decorations, garments with PVC or

leather trimmings, training shoes, bulky

items such as sleeping bags, etc.

IMPORTANT: Do not dry articles which

have been treated with a dry cleaning

fluid or rubber clothes (danger of fire or

explosion).

Energy saving

Only put into the tumble dryer laundry

which has been thoroughly wrung or spin-

dried. The drier the laundry the shorter the

drying time thus saving electricity.

ALWAYS try to dry the maximum weight

of laundry, this will save time and

electricity.

NEVER exceed the maximum weight, this

will waste time and electricity.

ALWAYS check that the filter is clean

before every drying cycle as this aids

efficiency.

NEVER put dripping wet items into the

tumble dryer, this may damage the

appliance and waste time and efficiency.

Preparing the load Door

Opening the door

The door may be opened by pushing on the

textured panel of the door (fig 2). This is a

safety feature to prevent the entrapment of

minors in the drum.

To restart the dryer, close the door and

press the ‘ON’ button.

WARNING!

WHEN THE TUMBLE DRYER IS

IN USE THE DRUM AND DOOR

Filter Water container

Filter

IMPORTANT: To maintain the efficiency

of the dryer check that the fluff filter is

clean before each drying cycle.

Water Container

The water removed from the laundry

during the drying cycle is collected in a

container at the bottom of the dryer.

When the container is full the ‘EMPTY

WATER’ indicator on the control panel will

light, and the container MUST be emptied.

However, we recommend that the container

is emptied after each drying cycle.

NOTE: Very little water will collect during

the first few cycles of a new machine as an

internal reservoir is filled first.

To remove the container:

1. Gently pull the bottom of the kickplate

so that it unclips from the dryer. The top

section can then be unhinged allowing

the kickplate to be completely removed

(fig. 4).

2. Pull firmly on the handgrip and slide the

water container out of the dryer (fig. 5).

1. Gently remove lint using a soft brush or

your fingertips (fig 3).

Clean Filter Indicator lights when the

filter needs cleaning. If the laundry is not

drying check that the filter is not clogged.

05651181 25/6/01 8:33 pm Page 6

Condenser

Support the container with both hands.

When full, the water container will

weigh about 4kg (fig. 6).

3. Open the lid located on the top of the

container and empty the water (fig. 7).

4. Refit the lid and slide the water

container back into position. PUSH

FIRMLY INTO PLACE.

5. Refit the kickplate by engaging the

hinges at the top and ‘snapping’ the

lower clips into place.

Condenser

IMPORTANT: Always switch off and

remove the plug from the electricity

supply before cleaning the condenser.

To maintain the efficiency of the dryer

regularly check that the condenser is

clean.

To remove the condenser:

1. Remove the kickplate (fig. 4).

2. Turn the two locking levers anti-

clockwise (fig. 8).

3. Pull out the condenser unit (fig. 9).

4. Gently remove any dust or fluff with a

cloth, then wash the unit by holding it

under a running tap (fig. 10) turning it

so that water flows between the plates,

to remove any dust or fluff.

5. Refit the condenser ensuring it is

pushed firmly into place. Lock the two

levers by turning them clockwise.

6. Refit the kickplate.
