It is most important that this instruction book should be retained with the appliance for future

reference. Should the appliance be sold or transferred to another owner, or should you move house

and leave the appliance, always ensure that the book is supplied with the appliance in order that the

new owner can get to know the functioning of the appliance and the relevant warnings.

Which program should I use?

Timed drying

This program chart is designed to help you dry your laundry correctly. The program/timer knob has two different

sections, each with its own drying temperature and time scale:

is used to represent cotton. Here you can set the dryer for up to 120 minutes, because cotton and thick

non-synthetic fabrics need longer to dry.

is used to represent synthetic fabrics and delicate items. Because these are more sensitive than cotton, they

need a lower drying temperature. Here you can set the dryer for up to 80 minutes.

Do not overdry your laundry. It can make it difficult to iron, and harsher to the touch, besides wasting energy.

During the last 8-12 minutes of each program, the load is cooled to reduce the risk of creasing.

COTTON DRYING TIME 0 - 120 MIN

Spun at approx. 800 rpm

Type of laundry How dry? before loading into dryer

Cottons Cupboard dry 3.5 kg 95 - 110 min

Towelling (Terry) 2 kg 75 - 85 min

Sheets 1 kg 45 - 55 min

Towels

Iron dry 3.5 kg 80 - 95 min

(for ironing) 2 kg 60 - 75 min

1 kg 35 - 45 min

SYNTHETICS DRYING TIME 0 -80 MIN

Type of laundry How dry? Spun at approx. 800 rpm

Items which need a reduced before loading into dryer

drying temperature

Delicate items Cupboard dry 1.5 kg 70 - 80 min

Heat-sensitive items 0.7 kg 30 - 40 min

(see garment care label)

Iron dry 1.5 kg 55 - 65 min

(for ironing) 0.7 kg 25 - 35 min

If the laundry is spun at less than 800 rpm, the residual dampness will be higher and consequently the

drying time should be increased. If the laundry is spun at 1000 rpm or higher the residual dampness will be

lower and consequently the drying time can be reduced.

Sorting

Always sort loads for drying according to the type of

textile (check the care labels) and how much you want to

dry them. Load items loosely into the drum. Do up zip

fasteners and tie loose ribbons, tapes or fabric belts.

Close any tapes or fasteners on duvet covers and pillow

cases to prevent smaller items from getting trapped

inside.

Spinning (water extraction)

Loads should be well spun. The higher the spin speed,

the faster your tumble dryer will dry the load, and the

more energy-efficient the whole process will be. Do not

tumble dry dripping wet garments.

Getting the load size right

An overloaded tumble dryer will cause creasing. Drying

loads which are too small is uneconomical.

Fluff

The first time you use the tumble dryer, you will

probably be surprised at the amount of fluff produced.

This is perfectly normal, and does not mean that your

tumble dryer is wearing out your clothes. When

garments are worn and washed by hand or machine,

fibres and fluff are released, but remain on the surface of

the material. If dried outdoors on a line these fibres will

be blown away by the wind. In a tumble dryer the fluff is

collected in the filter and accumulates through the drying

process.

Shrinkage

To avoid shrinking, garments should not be overdried.

Always check the care labels on your fabrics.

Items which should not be tumble

dried

Items which are especially delicate, such as curtains of

synthetic fabric, woollen garments, silk, textiles with a

metal component, nylon socks/stockings.Garments made

mostly from foam rubber or rubber-like materials must

NOT be dried in the tumble dryer.

Obviously, you must not dry garments in the

machine which are unsuitable for tumble

drying. These are usually labelled with this

symbol.

Garments which have been treated with

flammable liquids (benzine, alcohol, stain

removal products) should not be dried in the

tumble dryer on account of the risk of fire.

Always follow the recommendations of the

garment/item manufacturer.

The filters

For your tumble dryer to function properly, the filters need

to be cleaned before or after every load dried. To clean

them:

1. Open the door.

2. Open the coarse filter upwards (Fig. A).

3. Brush the fluff off the fluff filter (Fig. B), which is

under the coarse filter. Sometimes you may need to

remove the fluff filter to clean it on both sides.

Make sure that you put the fluff filter back

correctly after cleaning, before closing the coarse

filter.

Never start the dryer unless the fluff filter is clean

and correctly in place. Do not use the dryer if the

fluff filter is damaged (this could cause overheating).

The condenser

As in all types of tumble dryer, the air circulated through

the dryer picks up fluff. As a result, some fluff will

accumulate in the condenser, so it needs to be cleaned

occasionally. To clean the condenser:

1. Open the door and open the coarse filter upwards.

2. Remove the fluff filter and close the coarse filter

again.

3. Grasp the recesses at the top of the condenser with

your fingers and use your thumbs to press against the

door (Fig. C & D). The condenser will come free,

allowing you to lift it outwards/ upwards. Be careful

not to damage the sensitive aluminium section.

4. Turn it upside down, and clean it on both sides using

a vacuum cleaner. Remove the red drain plug on the

lower edge of the condenser (Fig E). Lay the

condenser flat and fill it with water through the filter

opening. Now leave the condenser to soak in

water for about five minutes, then spray hot water

through it (e.g. with a hand-held shower) from

both sides (Fig. F). Dry the condenser carefully

afterwards. Don’t forget to put back the red drain

plug (Fig. G).

5. Put the condenser back in the dryer. Make sure

that its base is lined up in the slots in the condenser

cavity inside the dryer door. Press the condenser

carefully into place until you feel and hear a

gentle “snap”. Put back the fluff filter and close

the coarse filter.

Regular care of your tumble dryer

- 10 -

Emptying the water tank

A warning light on the control panel will come on

when it is time to empty the water tank. If it is operating

when this happens, the dryer will stop automatically

until the tank is emptied. It is a good idea to get into the

habit of emptying the tank either before or after each

load.

To empty the tank:

1. Open the door.

2. Pull out the tank (Fig. A).

3. Open the tank lid and pour the water out (Fig. B).

4. Close the lid and push the tank back into place.

Press it home until you can feel that it is

properly “engaged” in place.
