INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE

TUMBLE DRYERS

IMPORTANT

PLEASE READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS THOROUGHLY BEFORE USING THIS APPLIANCE.

KEEP THEM IN A SAFE PLACE FOR FUTURE REFERENCE

INSTALLATION

Position the tumble dryer so that the plug remains accessible after installation. Do not block the vent at

the front or base of the dryer, as this will impair the working of the machine. This appliance must not be

installed behind a lockable door, a sliding door or a door with hinges on the opposite side to that of the

tumble dryer.

DRAINAGE OPTIONS

Your new tumble dryer is fitted with an internal drain pump, which gives you the option of being able to

drain condensed water to its water bottle, or to your household waste pipe. Connecting your dryer to a

household waste pipe will mean you will not need to periodically empty the water bottle. As supplied, the

drier will drain the water to its bottle. If you wish to convert the dryer so that its water is diverted to a

household waste pipe, follow the simple instructions below:-

1/ Pull the drain hose from the valve at the top of the unit.

2/ Fit the drain hose into your household waste pipe, ensuring a gap between the end of the hose and any

water in the waste pipe.

FINAL INSTALLATION

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 the dryer and a washing machine then its

diameter must be large enough to contain both hoses - 1.5" bore (38mm)

minimum.

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 of burning will

be caused by dust on the heater and will quickly

disappear.

To return your drier back to taking the condensed water to the water

bottle, simply fit the drain hose back to the valve at the top of your

drier.

If the drain hose is not long enough to reach your waste pipe, a

drain extension kit can obtained from your retailer (part number

4213 089 8778).

THE CONTROLS

A. PROGRAMME SELECTOR: Turn the programme selector to the desired level of dryness. You

have various degrees of dryness as well as a timed option and an airing cycle.

B.START BUTTON: To start the drying cycle.

C.HI/LO HEAT BUTTON: High heat for cotton and linen fabrics and low heat for synthetic or delicate

fabrics.

D.BOTTLE FULL LIGHT: This will light up and the machine will stop if the water bottle is full or if it

has not been pushed fully back into the correct position.

E.THE WATERBOTTLE: (Behind the pull-down door): Must be emptied after every cycle (except

when a drain hose kit is fitted).

F.ANTI-CREASE ACTIVE NEON (If fitted): When lit constantly, the neon indicates that the drying

cycle is completed and clothes can be removed. To reduce creasing of clothes, anti-crease will

automatically start once the drying cycle is complete.

Program 1 – Extra dry: clothes are dry enough to be put away

Program 2 – Cupboard dry: clothes are dry enough to be put away

Program 3 – Mid dry: depending upon fabric, clothes are generally dry enough to be put away

Program 4 – Extra iron dry: clothes are almost dry but can be easily ironed

Program 5 – Iron dry: clothes are slightly damp and ready to be ironed

Program 6 – Damp dry: clothes are damp and ready to be ironed

Program 7 – 30 minute timed drying program

Program 8 – 30 minute timed ‘airing’ program; useful for freshening up clothing.

Programs 1-7 can be operated on either full heat or half heat setting and have a 12 minute cool-down

period at the end of the cycle

Program 8 operates without the heater (regardless of the heat switch setting), circulating air through the

dryer at the ambient temperature.

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 as being suitable .This

should avoid shrinkage.

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.

Fabric softeners, or similar products, should be used as specified by the fabric softener instructions. 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.

Items that have been soiled with substances such as cooking oil, acetone, alcohol, petrol, kerosene, spot

removers, turpentine, waxes and wax removers should be washed in hot water with an extra amount of

detergent before being dried in the tumble dryer.

Items such as foam rubber (latex foam), shower caps, waterproof textiles, rubber backed articles and

clothes or pillows fitted with foam rubber pads should not be dried in the tumble dryer.

OPERATION

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.

Select the programme and the heat setting required.

Press the start button.

The drum will initially rotate in an anticlockwise direction.

The drum will now begin to rotate and will stop automatically when your clothes are dry. The drum will

stop and turn in the other direction for a short while every few minutes.

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.

At the end of the drying cycle the drum will rotate periodically until you open the door or disconnect from

the mains to stop it. This helps to minimise creasing.

If the door is opened during a cycle the dryer will stop. 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.

NEVER SWITCH THE DRYER OFF AND LEAVE A HOT LOAD IN THE DRUM. RISK OF

FIRE.

AFTER REMOVING THE DRIED CLOTHES

ALWAYS CLEAN THE FILTER AFTER EACH USE. Failure to do so 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.

- If your filter becomes damaged, replace it to ensure no damage is caused to

the dryer.

ALWAYS EMPTY THE WATER BOTTLE

THE CONDENSER

The condenser and ducting should be cleaned monthly or more frequently if the dryer is in constant use.

See “CLEANING THE CONDENSER” below.

NOTE: The condenser will discolour through use.

REMOVING THE CONDENSER

–Firmly pull the condenser out.

RE-INSTALLING THE CONDENSER

–Carefully push the condenser back into the machine, until it is pushed fully home and a “click” is heard.

IMPORTANT:

–Ensure all lint and fluff is removed from around the grille seal before closing or water may leak.

- The dryer may leak if the condenser is not correctly re-installed

CLEANING THE CONDENSER

CAUTION: For maximum efficiency, the plates are made from very thin aluminum and are easily

damaged. Do not try to poke anything between the plates or use a hard object or tool for cleaning. At all

times, handle the condenser carefully and avoid crushing the plates.

–Remove the condenser (see above).

–Flush the fluff from between the plates under running water and carefully shake off excess water.

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 stating the appliance.

- Open the door, pull out and empty the bottle.

- Replace the bottle ensuring that it is pushed all the way in - if it is not, the

dryer will not operate.

- If the dryer is connected to a drain there is no need to empty the bottle but it

must be correctly fitted to the machine.

Whilst the condenser is removed, clean as much fluff as

possible from inside the ducting by reaching a hand into the

machine. In particular, keep the passage from the fan clear (on

the right hand side of the condenser duct).

After cleaning, re-install the condenser (see above).

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 (start button pressed, if

fitted).

- Check that the water bottle has been withdrawn from, and–replaced into the machine. The bottle full

warning light should be off.

- Check the fuse in the moulded plug.
