TUMBLE DRYER IS 41 V
Installation
The dryer must never be installed behind a lockable door, a sliding door or a door with a hinge on the opposite side to that of the dryer door.
This symbol reminds you to read this booklet.
WHERE TO PUT YOUR DRYER
The dyer should be placed where air can freely circulate around it preferably near a window that can be opened to reduce the possibility of condensation occurring while the dryer is in use.
If the dryer is enclosed or fi tted under a work surface a gap of at least 50 mm (2”) must be allowed above the top for the full width of the dryer and at least 25 mm (1”) either side. This allows air to enter into the rear air inlet. The dryer must never be run in a cupboard with a closed door.
VENTILATION
When the dryer is in use there has to be adequate ventilation to avoid the back fl ow of gases into the room from appliances burning other fuels, including open fi res.
The vent tube should not exceed 2.4 metres in length.
The tube should be kept clear of the air intake vent and kinks or ‘U’ bends must be avoided as these will obstruct the tube and trap condensation.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
The socket must be grounded. The power supply cord should be checked periodically and, if required, replaced by a cord specially prepared for this dryer.
FLUFF FILTER
You must clean the fl uff fi lter after EVERY drying cycle.
To remove the fi lter
Step 1 - Open the door of your dryer, remove the fi ler.
Step 2 - Clean any fl uff deposits from the fi lter mesh, and refi t the fi lter.
Step 3 - Make sure the fi lter is pushed fully home - NEVER run the dryer without the fi lter in position.
!
Failure to clean the fi lter after EVERY drying cycle will affect the drying performance of your machine.

• The appliance must be installed correctly and have proper ventilation. The air intake at the front of the dryer should never be obstructed (see Installation).
• Never direct the vent tube outlet towards the air intake at the back of the machine
• Never allow the tumble dryer to recycle exhaust air.
• Never use the dryer on carpeting where the pile height would prevent air from entering the dryer from the base.
• Check to see if the dryer is empty before loading it.
• The back of the dryer could become very hot. Never touch it while in use.
• Do not use the dryer unless the fi lter is securely in place (see Maintenance

TO MINIMIZE THE RISK OF FIRE IN
YOUR TUMBLE DRYER, THE FOLLOWING
SHOULD BE OBSERVED
• Tumble dry items only if they have been washed with detergent and water, rinsed and been through the spin cycle. It is a fi re hazard to dry items that HAVE NOT been washed with water.
• Do not dry garments that have been treated with chemical products.
• Do not tumble dry items that have been spotted or soaked with vegetable or cooking oils, this constitutes a fi re hazard. Oil-affected items can ignite spontaneously,especially when exposed to heat sources such as a tumble dryer. The items become warm, causing an oxidisation reaction with the oil, Oxidisation creates heat. If the heat cannot escape, items can become hot enough to catch fi re. Piling, stacking or storing oileffected items can prevent heat from escaping and so create a fi re hazard.If it is unavoidable that fabrics containing vegetable or cooking oil or those that have been contaminated with hair care products be placed in a tumble dryer they should fi rst be washed with extra detergent - this will reduce, but not eliminate the hazard.
The cool tumble phase should be used to reduce the temperature of the items. They should not be removed from the dryer and piled or stacked while hot.
• Do not tumble dry items that have previously been cleaned in or washed in, soaked in or soiled with petrol/gasoline, dry cleaning solvents or other fl ammable or explosive substances. Highly fl ammable substances commonly used in domestic environments including cooking oil, acetone, denatured alcohol, kerosene, spot removers, turpentine, waxes and wax removers. Ensure these items have been washed in hot water with an extra amount of detergent before being dried in the tumble dryer.
• Do not tumble dry items containing foam rubber
(also known as latex foam), or similarly textured rubber like materials. Foam rubber materials can, when heated, produce fi re by spontaneous combustion.
• Fabric softener or similar products should not be used in a tumble dryer to eliminate the effects of static electricity unless the practice is specifi cally recommended by the manufacturer of the fabric softener product.
• Do not tumble dry undergarments that contain metal reinforcements eg. bras with metal reinforcing wires. Damage to the tumble dryer can result if the metal reinforcements come loose during drying.
• Do not tumble dry rubber, plastic articles such as shower caps or babies waterproof covers, polythene or paper.
• Do not tumble dry rubber backed articles, clothes fi tted with foam rubber pads, pillows, galoshes and rubber coated tennis shoes.
• Remove all objects from pockets, especially lighters.
WARNING: Never stop the dryer before the end of the drying cycle .The fi nal part of a tumble dryer cycle without heat (cool down cycle) to ensure that the items are left at a temperature that ensures that the items will not be damaged.

• The fuse has blown. Try to plug another appliance into the socket.
• You are using an extension cord? Try to plug the dryer directly into the socket.
• The timer knob has not been set properly.
• The start button has not been pressed.
• The start button was pressed with the door open. Make sure the door is closed before pressing the start button.
PROBLEM:
It is taking a long time to dry.

DISPOSAL OF OLD ELECTRICAL APPLIANCES
The European Directive 2002/96/EC on Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) requires that old household electrical appliances must not be disposed of in the normal unsorted municipal waste stream. Old appliances must be collected separately in order to optimise the recovery and recycling of the materials they contain and reduce the impact on human health and the environment.
The crossed out “wheeled bin” symbol on the product reminds you of your obligation that when you dispose of the appliance it must be separately collected. Consumers should contact their local authority or retailer for information concerning the correct disposal of their old appliance.
