Safety information
Before installing or using the tumble dryer, read the instruction booklet carefully, including its hints
and warnings. Doing so will help ensure that your dryer will function properly and to best advantage.
Anyone using the dryer should be thoroughly familiar with its instructions for use and the safety
aspects. Save these instructions and make sure they remain with the dryer if it is moved or sold,
so that everyone using it through its life can be properly informed on the dryer use and safety.
Installation and servicing
●
All installation work and other work done on
the product must be carried out by a qualified
technician. Work performed by persons with
inadequate knowledge may adversely affect
the satisfactory functioning of the product and
may cause injury or damage.
●
The dryer is heavy, take care when lifting it.
●
If installed in a bathroom, the dryer must be at
least 60 cm away from the bathtub. If the dryer
is installed in a bathroom without fixed wiring to
the electrical supply, an earth leakage circuit
breaker (or RCD) must be used.
●
Make sure that the dryer is not standing on its
electrical lead and also that the ventilation opening at the bottom of the door is not obstructed
if the dryer is on a carpeted floor.
●
The electrical plug must be plugged into an
earthed socket. Permanent electrical installation
may only be carried out by an authorised
electrician.
●
The adjustable feet must not be removed,
these ensure that the underside of the dryer
is ventilated.
●
Servicing and repairs must be carried out by
a service company authorised by the supplier.
Use only spare parts supplied by these.
Never try to repair the dryer yourself.
Using the tumble dryer
Remember that the plastic bags included in the
packaging can be fatal playthings for small
children.
●
The tumble dryer should be used by adults only.
Do not allow children to play with it or touch its
controls and moving/movable parts.
●
This dryer is intended only for normal domestic
drying of laundry, and only in accordance with
these instructions. If it is used for other purposes,
there is a risk that this may cause injury or
damage.
●
Do not overload the dryer (see “Instructions for
Use”).
●
Laundry which has been in contact with chemicals such as stain removal products and similar,
should not be dried in the machine, since
volatile chemicals can be a fire risk.
●
The following items/materials should not be
dried in the machine either:
– Pillows, cushions, down-filled items etc.
(these cause a build-up of heat, and can
make the dryer overheat)
– Wool, on account of its tendency to mat
– Especially sensitive textiles, such as
synthetic curtains, silk etc.
– Garments made of foam rubber or rubberlike materials must not be dried in the
machine.
Child Safety
●
●
●
Get into the habit of cleaning the condenser at
regular intervals. Keeping the condenser as clean
as possible makes the dryer more efficient and
means shorter drying times.
●
Always switch off the dryer after use.
●
Never start the dryer unless the fluff filter is
clean and correctly in place, or if the fluff filter
is damaged (this could cause overheating or
damage your load of laundry).
Scrapping the dryer
●
Disconnect the electrical plug from the power
supply, then cut the electrical lead at the point
where it enters the dryer. Make quite sure that
children will not be able to play with it.
●
For advice on the best way to dispose of the
dryer, contact your local council or the service
company.
Before loading the dryer, check that there are
no foreign objects or pets inside the drum.

Description of the appliance
13. Connector for drain hose
There is a drain hose as an extra accessory
for you who want and can connect the tumbledryer directly to a drain outlet. Fix the hose to
the connector (13) after releasing the hose
clip and removing the plug. When a drain
hose is fitted, the water tank will not be filled
with water.
12
14. Water tank for condensed water
This fills up with the water condensed by the
dryer and should be emptied after each load.
When the tank is full, a warning light (D) will
come on and a buzzer will sound. The dryer
will stop automatically and will not restart
until the tank has been emptied. If the dryer
should stop on account of a full tank during
an automatic program and you fail to empty
the tank within 5 minutes, the program may
not be able to continue successfully. If this
happens, the current program will need to be
cancelled and a new one started. For this
reason it is best always to check that the tank
is empty before starting to dry a new load.

General washing and drying information
Sorting
Starched items
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.
Laundry which has been starched can also be dried
in a tumble dryer. For best results you should choose
a drying time which ensures that the items are still
slightly damp, e.g. by following the recommendations
to achieve “damp dry (for ironing)”. After removing
the load, wipe the drum clean with a damp cloth.
Then dry the drum to remove any last traces of starch.
Spinning (water extraction)
Items which should not be tumble
dried
Loads should be well spun. We recommend that you
use a washing machine with a minimum spin speed of
800 rpm, or a separate spin-dryer (“Hydro-extractor”)
if available. The higher the spin speed, the faster your
tumble dryer will dry the load and the more energyefficient the whole process will be.
Even permanent press garments such as shirts should
be spun for 10 to 30 seconds before tumble drying.
Items which are especially delicate, such as curtains
of synthetic fabric, woollen garments, silk, textiles
with a metal component and nylon socks/ stockings.
Garments made mostly from foam rubber or rubberlike materials must not be dried in the tumble dryer.
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.
This is very significant to those who suffer from
asthma or allergies.
Shrinkage
Depending on their quality, tricot fabrics in particular
vary considerably in their tendency to shrink.
To avoid shrinking, garments should not be overdried.
Where it occurs, shrinkage can sometimes be rectified by stretching. We recommend that you bear
possible shrinkage in mind when choosing the size
of new tricot garments.
-7-
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.

Dry flat
Programme chart
The programs can be divided into two types: automatic programs and timed programs.
The automatic programs (A–D) switch off the tumble dryer when the load has been dried to the extent
required. The timed programs are for special requirements or finishing drying individual items. Using these,
the dryer will continue to dry through the time you have set, unless the load is dry before that time has
elapsed. When the load is dry the program switches automatically to a cool-down stage of 9 minutes.
If the load is not removed from the dryer at the end of the cool-down stage, an anti-crease stage of
30 minutes will then start automatically to keep the load in motion, thereby preventing creasing.

Maintenance
Cleaning the filters
For your tumble dryer to function properly, the filters
need to be cleaned before or after every load dried.
A
To clean them:
1. Open the door.
2. Open the coarse filter upwards (Fig. A).
3. Brush the fluff off the fluff filter, which is under
the coarse filter (Fig. B). 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).
B
C
Cleaning 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.
D
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.
E
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 5 minutes, then shower
both sides with hot water. (Fig. F).
Dry the condenser carefully afterwards. Don’t
forget to put back the red drain plug (Fig. G).
F
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.

Maintenance
Emptying the water tank
If you have connected the tumble dryer directly to
a waste pipe with the accessory hose, you can
ignore this section.
But note that even if the water tank has been bypassed in this way, the indicator light that warns
that the tank is full will flash intermittently during
the anti-crease stage. The tank will not need
emptying, but don’t forget to clean the filters.
A
A warning light on the control panel will flash and
a buzzer will sound, when it is time to empty the
water tank. If it is operating when this happens,
the dryer will stop automatically and the tank will
have to be 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 in place.

a problem which you can put right yourself.
If you have to call out a service engineer to remedy
one of the problems in this list, you risk having to
pay the call-out charge yourself. The same applies
to faults caused by use of the dryer for purposes
other than those for which it was intended.
Note that electrical faults should always be rectified
by a certified electrician.
Servicing and repairs must be carried out by a service
company authorized by the supplier. Use only spare
parts supplied by these.

Installation
Positioning
You can install this dryer in a number of different ways.
We will show you the most suitable of these. Whichever
way you install it, here are some points to bear in mind:
●
Always ensure that the dryer is level for optimum
functioning.
●
The temperature in the room should not exceed
+35°C when the dryer is operating. If it does, open
a door or window while the dryer is on. The dryer
uses the air in the room for cooling.
●
The area around the dryer should be as dust-free
as possible.
●
If you install the dryer with its door hinge side towards
a wall, or next to a cupboard or wall unit which is
more than 370 mm deep, you will need to leave a
space on the hinge side at least 30 mm wide. This
is to allow the door to open wide enough for removing the water tank.
●
The dryer must not be installed above a bath or in
a shower area. It must not be installed closer than
60 cm from a bathtub or an area used for showering.
The adjustable feet must not be removed,
they ensure that there is adequate ventilation underneath the dryer.

2
Worktop installation
If you prefer to install your dryer on a worktop, you must
anchor it at the top rear to prevent it from tipping forwards.
Method:
●
Begin by placing the dryer on the worktop in the
position where it is to be installed.
●
Level the dryer with the aid of its adjustable feet.
●
Mark the position for the hook on the wall. The
correct place is opposite the centre of the left-hand
bracket on the top rear of the dryer. Drill a hole for
a 8 mm diameter plastic wall plug.
●
Screw the hook (1) into place. Once in place, the
“eye” (aperture) of the hook needs to be 40 mm from
the wall.
●
Position the dryer so that the eye is correctly
aligned in the bracket.
●
Fit the pin (2) through bracket and eye, and lock it
in place with the split-pin (3).
Electrical supply
The dryer is supplied with a lead and electrical plug for
connection to an earthed wall socket, 230 V, 10 A.
If the dryer is installed in a bathroom without fixed
wiring to the electrical supply, an earth leakage circuit
breaker must be used.
Permanent electrical installation may only
be carried out by an authorised electrician.
- 14 -
40 mm
Installation
Wall mounting
Different wall materials require different types of
mounting hardware. Purchase mounting hardware
suited to the walls in your home. Use a minimum
of 3 suitable fasteners to attach your mounting
console to the wall.
Before deciding on the wall mounting site, it is
important to check that the electrical lead will
reach the wall socket once the dryer is in place.
All electrical work performed on the dryer
should be done by a qualified electrician
or competent person.
If you are installing the dryer between wall-mounted
cupboards, you should use the wall mounting console.
If the adjacent cupboards are more than 370 mm
deep, don’t forget to leave a space at least 30 mm
wide on the left of the dryer so that the door can
open wide enough.There should be a clear space
at least 200 mm high between the top of the dryer
and the ceiling or any cupboard above the dryer, to
ensure adequate ventilation at the top.
