INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE

TUMBLE DRYER

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.

TUMBLE DRYER VENTING

Your tumble dryer will release warm, damp air in one of three ways.

1) EXTENDABLE REAR VENTING - A long flexible vent hose is built into the dryer and can be extended from the large opening at the rear of the machine

2) FIXED REAR VENTING - Venting is through the large opening at the bottom of the rear panel. A separate extendible vent hose can be attached if desired.

3) FRONT VENTING - This is a special type of dryer which vents through a grille on the plinth. The opening on the rear panel is blanked off during manufacturing.

Rear vented dryers can be used without a vent hose but not in a confined space. Rear vented machines must have a vent hose if they are installed under a work surface. To minimise condensation it is preferable to vent through a vent to outside. This may be through an open door or window. The best solution is to connect the vent hose to a permanent connection through a wall or a single glazed window.

This is particularly recommended for small, cool rooms. A kit for this purpose is available as an accessory. Front venting machines must be converted to extendible rear venting before a permanent connection can be made to the outside.

When using a vent hose, remember the following points :

The vent hose must be at least 10cm (4 ins) in diameter.

No more than three right-angled bends should be allowed when positioning the vent hose.

Do not distort or constrict the vent hose as this will reduce the airflow.

The vent hose must not be shared with other appliances, for example, a cooker hood outlet.

FINAL INSTALLATION

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.

THE CONTROLS

A. START BUTTON - To start the drying cycle.

B. DRYING STATUS NEON (IF FITTED) - Indicates that Anti crease is in operation and that the clothes are ready to be removed from the dryer.

The neon will flash on at the start of the drying cycle.

C. DRYNESS SELECTOR - Choose the final dryness of the load by selecting the desired dryness.(see programme chart). Note: The use of an iron dry programme will use 30% less energy than a cupboard dry programme.

D. ON.(SLOW) - This can be selected at any time with any of the dryness programmes.

Note: When selected, the drying time will be extended by approximately 4 times, however the total energy consumed per cycle is 30% less compared to the fast mode. The savings from the use of the on. (slow)Energy mode are additional to those from the use of the iron dry programmes.

E. HEAT SELECTOR - To select full or half heat.

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.

IMPORTANT : When using this dryer, the machine and load may feel cooler than a conventional tumble dryer.

This is due to its energy saving capabilities and is perfectly normal

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.

Choose the final dryness level.

Select the required heat setting.

Select the required energy setting and press start.

The drum will rotate in an anticlockwise direction, with the drying status light (if fitted) flashing once.

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

The drum will stop and rotate in the other direction for a short while every few minutes.

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.

When drying mixed loads, the dryer may stop when the lighter items are dry. These should be removed and the dryer restarted to allow the heavier items to continue drying. 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.

An anti crease cycle will continue until the door is opened. This intermittently rotates the drum, to prevent creasing.

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.

ANY PROBLEMS

If you feel the appliance is not drying correctly, please carry out these quick checks:

- ON.(SLOW) ENERGY SETTING

Please note that this setting is 4 times as long as the OFF.(FAST) Setting and is approximately 8 hours.

When using this setting, no heat can be felt from the appliance.

- OFF.(FAST)SETTING

When using this setting, the machine and load may feel cooler than a conventional tumble dryer. This is due to it’s energy saving capabilities and is perfectly normal.

- Check that you used the correct heater setting (if applicable).

- Check that the lint filter has been cleaned and the vent hose is not constricted. A blocked filter or vent hose will restrict the airflow

- Check that your dryer is heating – below the door to the right 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, a sharp “click” will be heard. This cut-out only operates if the airflow is severely restricted so make sure the filter is clean, the air inlets and outlets at the front and back are not blocked, and that all other restrictions are removed before re-starting.

- Check that the machine has the correct weight load in the drum.

If the cut-out continues to operate after checking the above points, you should call your service agent.

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. Press the start button (if fitted).

- Check the fuse in the moulded plug.
