IMPORTANT

Using your Tumble Dryer is easy.

Nevertheless, for your own safety and to get the best results it is important to know your

Dryer by reading right through this handbook before using your dryer for the first time.

A CHILD COULD CLIMB INTO OR TAMPER WITH AN UNATTENDED

TUMBLE DRYER.

WHEN THE MACHINE IS NOT IN USE SWITCH OFF, REMOVE THE PLUG

AND CLOSE THE DOOR.

IMPORTANT

For your safety

ALWAYS ●When the dryer is not in use, switch off at the wall, remove plug

and close the door.

ALWAYS ●Comply with the specified electrical requirements.

ALWAYS ●Ensure that your dryer is installed correctly and has adequate

ventilation. (see, "Where to put and vent your dryer.")

ALWAYS ●Use the vent hose for optimum drying performance.

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

the control.

ALWAYS ●Clean the filter, it is essential that the filter is kept clear of fluff

after EACH drying cycle.

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

Where to put and vent your dryer

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 enter the rear grille, 10mm

above the dryer minimum.

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

similar 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.

Unless the Dryer, when stacked, is directly in front of a

window, we strongly recommend the use of a Vent Hose Kit. (If

this is not supplied it can be obtained from your retailer or

Spares Centre).

The Dryer dries your washing by drawing in air that is cool, clean

and relatively dry, heating it and then blowing it through the clothes

as they are gently tumbled. The moisture laden air is then blown out

at the back of the dryer through the vent hose which is

recommended for optimum performance.

When operating the dryer, there has to be adequate ventilation to

avoid the back flow of gases into the room from appliances burning

other fuels, including open fires.

A vent hose must always be fitted when the dryer is used in

conjunction with Mobile Venting.

The hose must be fitted securely into the back of the dryer (see

diagram on previous page). If possible, it is always best to connect

the hose to a permanent outlet close to the dryer (see instructions

below).

Ensure that the end of the hose is not directed towards the air

intake grille at the rear of the dryer.

If permanent installation is not possible, the dryer will work just as

well with the hose passed through a partly-opened window.

NOTE: The vent hose should not exceed 2.4 metres in length

and should be kept free of any possible accumulation of fluff,

lint (and water) by frequently shaking it out. Always ensure

that the hose is not squashed.

See diagram on previous page.

Fitting the Vent

Hose Kit

Where to put and vent your dryer

In conjunction with the vent hose we recommend the use of a

Wall/Window Vent Kit. These are available from your retailer or

nearest Spares Centre.

Fitting instructions are supplied with the kits, which can be mounted

through a wall or window. Details of positioning for wall mounting

are as follows:- Break a hole through the wall to the left of the

proposed position for the dryer. Keep the hose as short and straight

as possible to prevent condensed moisture running back into the

dryer. Similarly the duct inserted into the wall should slope

downwards to the outside. For window venting with stacked dryer,

the hole in the window should ideally be made below the outlet and

the hose should be kept as short as possible.

Depending on the frequency of use, it is essential that the areas

A and B in the illustrations are checked periodically and any fluff

or debris removed.

It is particularly important that the vent hose adaptor is fitted

securely thus preventing any moisture laden air from being

emitted back into the room.

NOTE: The dryer should not be pushed so far back that the

hose adaptor is pulled out of position or the hose squashed.

The hose should be kept clear of the air intake grille and kinks

or ‘U’ bends avoided as these will obstruct the hose or trap

condensation.

For open window venting it must be possible for the end of the hose

to be directed downwards to prevent warm, moist air condensing

in the room or in the dryer.

WARNING:

1. ENSURE THAT THE DRYER IS ADEQUATELY

VENTILATED AND THAT THE END OF THE VENT HOSE

IS NOT DIRECTED TOWARDS THE AIR INTAKE DUCT.

2. THE DRYER MUST NOT RECYCLE EXHAUST AIR.

3. THE VENT HOSE MUST ALWAYS BE FITTED FOR

OPTIMUM PERFORMANCE.

4. MAKE SURE THAT THE VENT HOSE AND AIR INTAKE

GRILLES ARE NOT OBSTRUCTED OR BLOCKED.

5. MISUSE OF A TUMBLE DRYER MAY CREATE A FIRE

HAZARD.

6. DO NOT DISCHARGE THE EXHAUST AIR INTO A FLUE

WHICH IS USED FOR EXHAUSTING FUMES FROM

OTHER APPLIANCES BURNING GAS OR OTHER FUELS.

WARNING: CHILDREN HAVE BEEN KNOWN TO CLIMB INTO TUMBLE DRYERS AND

INJURE THEMSELVES. ALWAYS ENSURE THAT THE MACHINE IS SWITCHED OFF AT

THE MAINS WHEN THE DRYER IS NOT BEING USED.

8. Switch off

Door Release

To open the door, grip the handle and pull towards you. If the door is opened while the

Dryer is in use, the drying programme cuts out automatically and the machine stops.

When the door is closed the Dryer will restart but you will not need to reset the Timer

Control. You can however reset the Timer Control at any stage, should you wish.

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 5kg (11lb) 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

everyday 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.
