IMPORTANT

For your safety

ALWAYS ●Empty the Water Container after EACH drying cycle.

ALWAYS ●Finish every programme with the cool tumble cycle provided on

In particular woollen articles should not be dried in a

tumble dryer unless they are labelled ‘Superwash’,

‘Machine washable’ or have the ‘May be tumble dried’

symbol:

If in any doubt do not dry wool in the machine.

Unlike other materials, the mechanism of wool

shrinkage is irreversible, i.e. it will not stretch back to

the original size and shape.

ALWAYS ●Buy genuine accessories and spares.

CAUTION:

When the dryer is in use avoid touching the

rear of the dryer as it may be hot!

WARNING: This appliance must be earthed!

REFER TO THE RATING PLATE FOR VOLTAGE AND CURRENT

REQUIREMENTS. (see diagram for location.)

The flexible mains lead is supplied fitted with a BS1363 plug and

with a 13 amp BS1362 fuse.

The plug should be connected to the mains supply via a suitable

switched socket which is accessible after installing your dryer.

If it is necessary to fit a replacement fuse, it must be a 13 amp

ASTA approved to BS1362 type.

If a replacement fuse holder/cover is required, it must be of the

same colour coding or wording as shown on the base of the plug.

Replacements are available from your Spares stockist.

The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the

following:

GREEN/YELLOW - EARTH

BLUE - NEUTRAL

BROWN - LIVE

If a replacement plug is to be fitted, the appropriate wire must be

connected to the correct terminal,as follows:

Connect:

Green/Yellow to terminal marked Earth or Green or

Blue to terminal marked Neutral or N or Black

Brown to terminal marked Live or L or Red.

If the plug being replaced is a non-rewirable type then the cut-off

plug must be disposed of safely. DO NOT leave where it can be

inserted into a socket and create a shock hazard.

Should the mains lead ever require replacing at any time please

contact your nearest Service Centre. A charge will be made for the

replacement of the mains lead or if you require a longer lead.

The mains lead must only be replaced by a specially prepared

cable obtainable from your Spares Stockist and fitted by a

qualified electrician.

WARNING: The plug must not be used without a fuse cover.

NOTE: IF IN DOUBT ABOUT ANY OF THE ABOVE CONSULT A

QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN.

Your Tumble Dryer should NOT be located adjacent to a gas hob,

cooker, heater or eye level grill as flames from the burners could

cause damage to your machine.. When the dryer is fitted under a

work surface, allow space for air to exit the rear grille, a 15mm gap

each side of the dryer is recommended. This airflow is essential to

condense the water produced drying the washing, the dryer will not

operate efficiently in an enclosed space or cupboard.

If using your dryer in a small or cold room some condensation could

be experienced.

If you are using this dryer adjacent or stacked on top of a washing

machine SEPARATE mains plugs and sockets must be used for each

appliance. DO NOT use 2-way adaptors or extension leads.

Both your tumble dryer and front loading washing machine are simi-

lar in design allowing the tumble dryer to be permanently stacked on

top saving you valuable floor space. A special stacking kit complete

with instructions is available from your retailer or nearest Spares

Centre.

IMPORTANT

Only use genuine stacking kits. When ordering you must state

the model numbers of both your Washing Machine and your

Tumble Dryer. Unsuitable kits may result in a potential hazard

and will invalidate your warranty rights.

The door of your Dryer is reversible and can easily be changed .

Exchange diagonally hinge brackets and blanking plugs. Exchange

door latch and catch with their opposite blanking plates. See diagram

above.

The ‘Cool Tumble’

phase

About 10 minutes before the programme is completed, the heating

elements will be switched off and the programme enters the final

‘Cool Tumble’ phase. During this phase the fabric is cooled. You

should always allow the dryer to complete this phase.

By opening the door you can check the dryness of the load as often

as you wish and if you want to remove some items before they are

fully dry. (This is particularly useful for a mixed load where you want

to iron some items, but others are to be fully dried.) You will need

to press the start button after closing the door to re-start the

programme. See section ‘The Controls’.

Timer

Control

The drying time for both heat settings is controlled by the timer. All you

have to do is turn the Timer Control clockwise until the required time

appears in line with the indicator.

NEVER WIND THE TIMER CONTROL ANTI-CLOCKWISE.

The “Guide to Drying Times” section will tell you how much time you’ll

need for various loads.

To select high heat (Cottons), the Heat Selection switch must be IN.

To select Low heat (Acrylics and Synthetics) the Heat Selection switch

must be OUT.

See section “Guide to Drying Times”.

Press and release the START button to commence a drying program

(The drying time must have been selected first).

This light glows during the drying part of the programme except for the

short periods during the drum reverse action.

When the door is opened this light will glow to remind you to clean the

filter.

This light will glow when the water container is full.

You should not wait for this light to glow before emptying the water

container, but empty it after each load (see section “Emptying the

Water Container”).

NOTE: When the light glows you must stop the dryer and empty the

water container.

If the water light glows during a drying cycle the timer will advance to

the Cool Tumble Phase without drying the load.

The light will take approximately 10 seconds to go out after replacing

the empty container.

Sorting your laundry

1. Always separate laundry into the correct fabric groups before

washing and drying.

2. See that all zips are closed, hooks and eyes are fastened and

belt, strings etc. are tied loosely in bows, you will normally have

done this for each item before the washing stage.

3. It is important to extract as much water as possible from each

item before drying. This saves you time and money.

4. Make sure that the items to be dried are suitable for tumble

drying, or are not of a type requiring ‘special attention’ (see“Wash

Care Labels” section).

Your dryer will hold a load of 6kg (13lb) dry weight of natural fabrics.

if you are drying items of man-made fibres (synthetic or acrylics), the

maximum load should not exceed 3kg (6.6lb) dry weight.

This difference is that man-made fibres require more space to tumble-

dry without creasing.

To help you estimate how many items it takes to make up a drying

load, the charts below show the approximate weights of some every-

day washing items.

If you group small cotton or terry-towelling items with a synthetic

fabric load they could be damp at the end of the drying cycle. If this

happens simply give them an additional short period of drying to

finish them off.
