Installation

GB !Ensure that the end of the tube is not directed

toward the air intake vent at the rear of the dryer.

!The vent tube should not exceed 2.4 metres in

length and should be kept free of any possible

accumulation of fluff, lint and water by shaking it out

frequently. Always ensure that the tube is not

squashed.

Permanent venting

In conjunction with the vent tube we recommend

using a Wall/Window Vent Kit, available at a retail

location or the nearest Spare Parts Dealer.

Wall mounting

1. Leave an opening in

the wall to the left of the

dryers proposed position.

2. Keep the tube as short

and straight as possible

to prevent condensed

moisture from backing up

into the dryer.

3. Similarly, the duct in

the wall should slope

downwards towards the

outside.

Window mounting

1. With a stacked dryer

the hole in the window

should ideally be made

below the vent.

2. The tube should be

kept as short as possible.

Depending on how often you use your dryer, it is

essential that areas A and B are checked periodically

to remove lint or debris.

The vent tube adaptor must be fitted securely thus

preventing any humid air from being emitted back into

the room.

!The Dryer should not be pushed so far back that the

tube adaptor is pulled out of position or the tube is

squashed or bent.

!The tube should be kept clear of the air intake vent

and kinks or ‘U’ bends must be avoided as these will

obstruct the tube or trap condensation.

!Keep this instruction booklet on hand in order to

refer to it when necessary. Take it with you when you

move, and, should you sell this appliance or pass it

on to another party, make sure that this booklet is

supplied along with the dryer so that the new owner

may be informed about warnings and suggestions on

how the dryer works.

!Read these instructions carefully; the following

pages contain important information on installation

and suggestions on how the appliance works.

Where to put your dryer

●Place your dryer at a distance from gas ranges,

stoves, heaters, or cook tops because flames can

damage the appliance.

●If you are going to install the appliance under a

work counter, be sure to leave a 10mm space

between the top and any other objects on or

above the machine and a 15mm space between

the sides and lateral furnishings or walls. This is

to ensure proper air circulation. Make sure that

the back vents are not obstructed.

●Make sure you put your dryer in an environment

that is not damp and has proper air circulation

throughout.

Ventilation

The Dryer dries your laundry by drawing in cool, clean

and relatively dry air, heating it, and then

distributing it through the clothes as they are gently

tumbled. For optimum performance, the moist air is

then blown out through a vent tube at the back of the

dryer.

When the dryer is in use, there has to be adequate

ventilation to avoid the back flow of gases into the

room from appliances burning other fuels, including

open fires.

Mobile venting

A vent tube must always be fitted when the dryer is

used in conjunction with Mobile Venting.

The tube must be fitted securely into the back of the

dryer (see Dryer Description). If possible, it is always

best to connect the tube to a permanent

outlet close to the dryer. If permanent installation is

not possible, the dryer will work just as well with the

tube passing through a partly-opened window.

Installation

!Do not use extension cords.

!The power cord must not be bent or squashed.

!The power supply cord should be checked periodically

and replaced by a cord specially prepared for this dryer

and fitted only by authorised technicians (see

Service). New or longer power cords are supplied at

an extra charge by authorised dealers..

!Ensure that any portable outlet or extension lead is

positioned so that it is not subjected to any splashing

or ingress of moistures.

!The manufacturer denies any responsibility should

any of these rules not be followed.

!If in doubt about any of the above consult a qualified

electrician.

Levelling your dryer

The dryer must be installed level for correct operation.

When you have installed

your dryer in its final

location check that it is

level first side to side,

then front to back.

If the dryer is not level,

use a wooden block to

support it while adjusting

the two front legs up or

down, until your dryer is

level.

Before you start using your dryer

Once you have installed your dryer and before you

use it, clean the inside of the drum to remove any

dust that could have accumulated during transport.

Open window venting

The end of the tube

should be directed

downwards, to prevent

warm moist air from

condensing in the room

or in the dryer.

!Ensure that the dryer is adequately ventilated and

that the end of the vent tube is not directed towards

the air intake duct.

!The vent tube must always be fitted for optimum

performance.

!Make sure that the vent tube and air intake vents

are not obstructed or blocked.

!The dryer must not recycle exhaust air.

!Misusing a tumble dryer may create a fire hazard.

!Do not discharge exhaust air into a flue which is

used for exhaust fumes from other appliances that

burn gas or other fuels.

Electrical connections

Make sure of the following before you insert the plug

into the the electrical socket:

●The socket must be grounded.

●The socket must be able to sustain the machines

maximum power, which is indicated on the rating

label (see Dryer Description).

●Power voltage must be within the values indicated

on the rating label (see Dryer Description).

●The socket must be compatible with the dryers

plug. Should this not be the case, replace the

plug or the socket.

!The dryer must not be installed outdoors, even if

the space is sheltered. It can be very dangerous if it

is exposed to rain or storms.

!Once installed, the dryers electrical wire and plug

must be within easy reach.

Easy Iron

Cool Tumble

Phase

Brief programme (approximately

10 minutes) that softens fibres of

clothing that is ready for ironing.

!This is not a drying

programme (see below).

Easy Iron Programme

‘Easy Iron’ is a short 10 minute programme (8 minutes of heat followed by a 2 minute cool tumble period) which

fluffs the fibres of clothing that have been left in the same position/location for an extended period of time. The cycle

relaxes the fibres and makes them easier to iron and fold.

!‘Easy Iron’ is not a drying programme and should not be used for wet articles of clothing.

For best results:

1. Do not load more than the maximum capacity.

These numbers refer to the dry weight:

Fabric Maximum load

Cotton and Cotton mixtures 2.5kg

Synthetics 2kg

Denim 2kg

2. Unload the dryer immediately after the end of the programme, hang, fold or iron the articles and put

them away in the closet. Should this not be possible repeat the programme.

The ‘Easy Iron’ effect varies from one fabric to the next. It works well on traditional fabrics like Cotton or Cotton mix,

and less well on acrylic fibres and on materials such as Tencel®.

Start and Programmes

Laundry

Sorting your laundry

●Check symbols on clothing labels to make sure

that the articles can be tumble dried.

●Sort laundry by fabric type.

●Empty pockets and check buttons.

●Close zippers and hooks and tie loose belts and

strings.

●Wring out each item in order to eliminate as much

excess water as possible.

!Do not load dripping wet clothes into the dryer.

Maximum load size

Do not load more than maximum capacity.

These numbers refer to dry weight:

Natural fibres: 6kg max (13lb)

Synthetic fibres: 3kg max (6.6lb)

!DO NOT overload the dryer as this could result in

reduced drying performance.

At the end of a drying cycle, cottons could still be

damp if you grouped cottons and synthetics together.

If this happens simply give them an additional short

period of drying.

Wash Care Labels

Look at the labels on your garments, especially when

tumble drying for the first time. The following symbols

are the most common:

May be tumble dried

Do not tumble dry

Tumble dry at high heat setting

Tumble dry at low heat setting

Items not suitable for tumble drying

●Articles that containing rubber or rubber-like

materials or plastic film (pillows, cushions, or PVC

rainwear), any other flammable articles or objects

that contain flammable substances (towels soiled

with hair spray).

●Glass fibres (certain types of draperies)

●Items which have been dry cleaned

●Items with the ITCL Code (see Special

clothing items). These can be cleaned with special

at-home dry cleaning products. Follow instructions

carefully.

●Large bulky items (quilts, sleeping bags, pillows,

cushions, large bedspreads etc). These expand

when drying and would prevent airflow through

the dryer.

Laundry

Special clothing items

Blankets and Bedspreads: acrylic items (Acilan,

Courtelle, Orion, Dralon) must be dried with special

care on LOW heat setting. Avoid drying for a long

period of time.

Pleated or creased garments: read the manufacturer’s

drying instructions on the garment.

Starched articles: do not dry these with non-starched

items. Make sure that as much of the starch solution is

removed from the load as possible before placing it in

the dryer. Do not over-dry: the starch will become

powdery and leave your clothing limp, which defeats

the purpose of starch.

Drying times

Times are approximate and can vary depending

upon:

●Amount of water retained in clothes after spin

cycle: towels and delicates retain a lot of water.

●Fabrics: items that are the same type of fabric but

different textures and thicknesses may not have

the same drying time.

●Quantity of laundry: single items or small loads

may take longer to dry.

●Dryness: If you are going to iron some of your

clothes, they can be taken out while still a bit

damp. Others can be left longer if you need them

to be completely dry.

●Heat setting.

●Room temperature: if the room where the dryer is

located is cold, it will take longer for the dryer to

dry your clothes.

●Bulk: some bulky items can be tumble dried with

care. We suggest that you remove these items

several times, shake them out, and return them to

the dryer until finished.

!Do not over-dry your clothes.

All fabrics contain a little natural moisture, which

keeps them soft and fluffy.

and not professional use.

●This dryer must be used by adults, and the

instructions in this booklet should be followed carefully.

●Do not touch the appliance while barefoot or with

wet hands or feet.

●Unplug the machine by pulling on the plug, not

the cord.

●Young children or the infirm must not be allowed to

operate the dryer without supervision.

●Children must not be in proximity of the dryer

when in use. After using the dryer, turn it off and

unplug it. Keep the door closed to make sure that

children do not use it as a toy.

●The appliance must be installed correctly and

have proper ventilation. The air intake vents

behind the machine, the outlet vents and the vent

tube should never be obstructed (see Installation).

●Never direct the vent tube outlet towards the air

intake at the back of the machine.

●Never allow the tumble dryer to recycle exhaust air.

●Never use the dryer on carpeting where the pile

height would prevent air from entering the dryer

from the base.

●Check to see if the dryer is empty before loading it.

●The back of the dryer could become very

hot. Never touch it while in use.

●Do not use the dryer unless the filter is securely

in place (see Maintenance).

●Do not use liquid fabric softeners in the dryer, add

it to the final rinse of your wash.

●Do not overload the dryer (see Laundry) for

maximum loads.

●Do not load items that are dripping wet.

●Tumble dry items only if they have been washed

with detergent and water, rinsed and been through

the spin cycle. It is a fire hazard to dry items that

HAVE NOT been washed with water.

●Carefully check all instructions on clothing labels

(see Laundry).

●Do not dry garments that have been treated with

chemical products.

●Never dry articles that are contaminated with

flammable substances (petrol, oil, paint, hair

spray, creams, cooking fat or oils).

●Do not tumble dry rubber, foam rubber, plastic,

plastic foam, nappy pants or liners, polythene or

paper.

●Do not tumble dry large, very bulky items.

●Do not tumble dry acrylic fibres at high

temperatures.

●Complete each programme with its Cool Tumble

Phase.

●Do not turn off the dryer when there are still

warm items inside.

●Clean the filter after each use (see Maintenance).

●Do not allow lint to collect around the dryer.

●Never climb on top of the dryer. It could result in

damage.

●Always follow electrical standards and

requirements (see Installation).

●Always buy original spare parts and accessories

(see Service).

Disposal

●Disposing of the packaging material: follow local

regulations, so the packaging can be recycled.

●Disposal of your old dryer: cut the power cord and

remove the door before disposing of an old dryer.

Saving energy and respecting the

environment

●Wring out items to eliminate excess water before

tumble drying (if you use a washing machine first,

select a high spin cycle). Doing this will save time

and energy during drying.

●Always dry full loads - you save energy: single

items or small loads take longer to dry.

●Clean the filter after each use to contain energy

consumption costs (see Maintenance).

Check the drum after each cycle

Turn the drum manually in order to remove small items

(handkerchiefs) that could have been left behind.

Cleaning the drum

!Do not use abrasives, steel wool or stainless steel

cleaning agents to clean the drum.

A coloured film may start to appear on the stainless

steel drum, this may be caused by a combination of

water and, or cleaning agents such as fabric conditioner

from the wash. This coloured film will not affect the

dryer performance.

Cleaning

●External parts in metal or plastic and rubber parts

can be cleaned with a damp cloth.

●Periodically check the vent tube and any

permanent venting fixture to make sure that there

has been no accumulation of fluff or lint, and

remove it.

●Remove lint that collects around the filter and the

outlet vents.

!Do not use solvents or abrasives.

!Your dryer uses special bearing components which

do not need lubrication.

!Have your dryer checked regularly by authorised

technicians to ensure electrical and mechanical safety

(see Service).

Maintenance and Care

GB Switching off the electricity

Unplug your dryer when not using it, when cleaning it

and during all maintenance operations.

Clean the filter after each cycle

The filter is an important part of your dryer:

it accumulates lint and fluff that is formed while drying.

Small items could also become trapped in the filter.

When finished drying, therefore, clean the filter by

rinsing it under running water or with your vacuum

cleaner. Should the filter become clogged up, the airflow

inside the dryer will be seriously compromised: drying

times lengthen and you will consume more energy. It

may also damage your dryer.

The filter is found in front

of the dryer trim

(see diagram).

Removing the filter:

1. Pull the plastic grip of

the filter upwards (see

diagram).

2. Clean the filter and

replace it correctly.

Ensure the filter is fully

located flush into the

tumble dryer trim.

!Do not use the dryer without replacing the filter.
