Your New Tumble Dryer
This tumble dryer will give your wash that soft, relaxed feel whatever the weather.
Extremely high quality standards both during development and manufacturing
guarantee a long service life for your appliance.
Maximum economy in the operation of your dryer is achieved through very frugal
electricity consumption and short drying times.
Energy saving tips
In the interest
of the environment
To save energy we recommend that you follow these
hints:
• Try to load the maximum capacity of the machine
as small loads are uneconomical.
• Always load well spun laundry. The higher the spin
speed, the lower the electricity consumption and
the shorter the drying times.
• Do not over-dry laundry, this avoids creasing and
saves energy.
• Clean the filters regularly to avoid excessive drying
times and high electricity consumption.
• Ventilate the room well. The room temperature
should not exceed +35°C during drying.
• Materials marked with the symbol
•
•
•
are
recyclable.
Check with your local Council or Environmental
Health Office to see if there are facilities in your
area for re-cycling this appliance.
When the appliance is to be scrapped, cut off the
power supply cable and make the door closing
device unusable to prevent young children from
being trapped inside.
Help to keep your country tidy - use authorised
disposal sites for your old appliance.
How do we help to protect the environment? We
use recycled paper!

Drying times vary according to:
• The type of laundry
• The size of the load
• The degree of spinning prior to drying.
• The degree of dryiness required
Fresh & Cool
This position on the programme selector dial can be used to freshen the laundry (e.g. to remove a persistent
odour of moth-balls).
Load
It is often difficult to estimate the weight of items to be dried. We therefore recommend that you adopt the
following guidelines:
• cotton, linen: drum full but not too tightly packed;
• synthetics: drum no more than half full;
• delicate fabrics: drum no more than one third full.

Hints & Tips on Drying
Before placing articles of laundry in your tumble
dryer, check the care labels to ensure they are
recommended for tumble drying.
• Always load well spun laundry. The higher the spin
speed the lower the electricity consumption and the
shorter the drying time.
• DO NOT load dripping wet laundry into the dryer.
Roll the article in a towel or spin to remove excess
water.
• Close poppers and zips and fasten any buttons.
• Sort the laundry. Separate synthetics from
cotton/linens, and dry separately.
• Remove the laundry immediately after the
programme has finished.
• Use a fabric conditioning sheet to reduce static. We
recommend the sheet is pinned to an article of
laundry (using a safety pin).
• Mix the load i.e. large and small articles.
• When drying large items such as sheets, we
recommend you periodically stop the dryer to
redistribute the load.
Care Labels you may find on your laundry
may be tumble dried
normal drying (high temperature)
delicate drying (low temperature)

Do not overload the appliance.
Here is a list of the approximate weight of some
common laundry items.

Maintenance and Cleaning
You must disconnect the appliance from the
electricity supply, before you can carry out any
cleaning or maintenance work.
After a while, a whitish film due to detergent residue
on laundry forms on the filters. When this occurs,
clean the filters (especially the filter in the door
opening) with warm water using a brush. Remove it
as per picture (it can be positioned with the tooth
facing to the left or to the right).
External cleaning
Use only soap and water and then dry thoroughly.
Important: do not use methylated spirit, diluents or
similar products.

Do not use the appliance without filters.
Cleaning the condenser unit
Clean the air condenser periodically, 3 or 4 times a
year depending on how frequently the dryer is used.
The condenser is situated at the lower part of the
cabinet behind a small door. To open the door, push
the catch as per picture.
P1150
Cleaning the filters
Your dryer will only function well if the filters are
clean.
The filters collect all the fluff which accumulates
during drying and they must therefore be cleaned at
the end of each programme, before removing the
laundry, with a damp cloth.

To pull out the condenser, first turn the two red stops
inwards as shown below and then remove the
condenser unit holding it at the handle.

P1151
The filter in the inner door must be removed for
cleaning.
Do not be alarmed by the amount of fluff. It is not
due to excessive wear caused by the dryer. All fabric
looses fluff when drying but it goes un-noticed in the
air. In a tumble dryer it simply collects in the filter.
P1159
It is quite normal to find droplets of water on
top of or at the front of the condenser unit.
This is not a fault with the appliance.

Clean it with a brush and rinse it under the shower if
necessary.
• Close the small cover and re-insert correctly the
reservoir
• Push it until it clicks and turn the yellow stop
downwards to lock firmly it
• Close the small door and press the
button
again to allow the programme to continue.
Handy tip: The condensed water may be used in a
steam iron or to top up a battery, etc. In this case it
must be filtered (e.g. through a coffee filter).
P0639
Also clean the outside, removing all fluff.
Clean the rubber seal round the condenser cabinet
and in the inner part of the small door with a damp
cloth.
Important! Do not use pointed objects or utensils to
clean the spaces between the plates, as this could
damage the condenser and make it permeable.
Re-fit the condenser, turn the red stops upwards and
close the door.
Cleaning the drum
When your laundry does not reach the desired degree
of dryness, in other words, when it turns out either
too dry or too damp,we advise you to clean the inside
of the drum with a cloth soaked with vinegar.
This will eliminate the slight patina that has formed
in the drum (due to residues of detergent and
softeners used in the washing, and to the lime
contained in the water), which prevents the probes
from detecting the correct degree of dryness.
Do not use this appliance if the condenser
has not been fitted.
Emptying the water reservoir
Cleaning the air intake grille
Water extracted from the laundry condenses inside
the machine and is collected in a reservoir.
The reservoir must be emptied after each drying
cycle to ensure efficient operation when the machine
is next used.
If this is not done a safety device trips: pilot light
on the control panel comes on and the
programme stops, leaving the laundry damp. The
buzzer will sound for 1 minute.
The reservoir can be emptied even in the middle of a
programme.
Proceed as follows:
• Open the small door at the lower part of the cabinet
• Turn the yellow stop upwards
• Pull out the reservoir
• Open the small cover and let water flow down
Using a vacuum cleaner remove the fluff from the air
intake grille at the back of the appliance.

Positioning
Unpacking
It is recommended that, for your convenience, the
machine is positioned close to your washing
machine.
The tumble dryer must be installed in a clean place,
where dirt does not build up.
Air must be able to circulate freely all round the
appliance. Do not obstruct the front ventilation grille
or the air intake grilles at the back of the machine.
To keep vibration and noise to a minimum when the
dryer is in use, it should be placed on a firm, level
surface.
Once in its permanent operating position, check that
the dryer is absolutely level with the aid of a spirit
level. If it is not, raise or lower the feet until it is.
The feet must never be removed.
Do not restrict the floor clearance through deeppile carpets, strips of wood or similar. This might
cause heat build-up which would interfere with
the operation of the appliance.
Warning !
Slide out the polythene bag containing the
polystyrene block before using the appliance.

The appliance is supplied with a 13amp plug fitted.
In the event of having to change the fuse in the plug
supplied, a 13amp ASTA approved BS 1363/A fuse
must be used.
