-Adequate ventilation must be provided to avoid back
flow of gases into the room from appliances burning
other fuels, including open fires.
-Exhaust air must not be discharged into a flue which is
used for exhausting fumes from appliances burning gas
or other fuel.
-Please note it is not recommended that the dryer
is placed directly next to ovens or cookers as the
performance of the dryer may be affected.

the base of the dryer.
-Do not stack the tumble dryer on top of other appliances
without the correct stacking kit.
-Any electrical work required to install the appliance
should be carried out by a qualified person.
-It is important to clean the lint filter after each drying
cycle or the restrictions to airflow will extend drying
times and could cause the safety cut-out to trip.
-Under no circumstances should anything other than the
recommended articles be placed in the tumble dryer.
-The tumble dryer should be serviced by an appointed
service organisation and only genuine parts used.
-It is dangerous to alter or modify the product in any way

electricity supply for long periods (i.e. weekends, if it is to
be left unattended for holidays etc.)
-The rear of the dryer gets quite hot during use. Position
the dryer so that the back is not accessible while in
operation, but ensure that the sides have a space
available to allow airflow.
-The special mains cable and plug assembly must only be
replaced with a genuine part by the manufacturer or his
service agents in order to avoid a hazard.
-It is important to clean fluff from the window of the
dryer and around the door seal after each drying cycle.
Failure to do so could result in water leaking.
-When installing, position the appliance so that that the
plug is accessible.
WARNINGS
-If you need to stop the tumble dryer before the end of
a drying cycle, ensure that the load and appliance are
cooled by utilizing the cooldown period denoted on the
control panel. Once the load is removed, all items need
to be quickly spread out so that any residual heat is
dissipated.
-Remove all objects from pockets such as lighters and
matches.
-DO NOT use a two-way adaptor, or extension lead.
The dryer must be connected to its own socket.
-DO NOT block the air inlets at the base and side of
your dryer.

INSTALLATION
The tumble dryer is fully compatible with any 600mm deep kitchen units and
complies with stringent EEC regulations.
Your dryer is provided with a vent hose which will extend to approx 2.4m (8ft).
We strongly recommend that this is vented through the wall with the attachment
provided. The position of the hole (100mm diameter) for the vent directly behind
the tumble dryer is shown in the diagram.
If the through the wall vent is to be positioned other than behind the dryer, the
vent hose should be positioned at floor level and through adjacent side panel to a
relevant position. The plinth must be cut−out to accommodate the air vent grill at
the bottom front of the tumble dryer.
DO NOT use the tumble dryer if you suspect that it is
damaged in any way. Under no circumstances should you
attempt to repair the appliance yourself. Repairs carried
out by inexperienced persons may cause serious injury.
Consult your local appointed service engineer and insist on
genuine spare parts.

IMPORTANT
The air vent at the front of the appliance must never be covered or blocked in any
way as this will cause the dryer to overheat.
The dryer should not be placed directly next to ovens or cookers, as the
performance of the dryer may be affected.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS: We strongly recommend that any electrical work
is carried out by a qualified person complying with the IEE 17th addition of the
electrical regulations.
IMPORTANT
Please remember that the tumble dryer must be capable of being switched off,
(disconnected from the supply), when fitted in position.
THE FILTER
The filter is found, as seen from the diagram, by opening the door and must always
be in position when drying items in the appliance. To allow the dryer to operate
efficiently it should be cleaned after each drying cycle. Do not be alarmed by the
amount of fluff deposited on the mesh. It is not due to excessive wear caused by
the dryer but more an indication of it’s efficient operation.
All fabric loses fluff when drying but it goes unnoticed into the air. In a tumble dryer
it simply collects in the filter.

OPERATION
Sort out the clothes into groups of similar fabrics and colours. Check the care label
inside the garment. We suggest that a fabric conditioner be used to reduce static
electricity.
Delicate articles e.g. tights should be placed inside a pillowcase. It is better to dry
small and large articles together.
Open the door.
Load clothes loosely into the drum.
Load sheets first starting with one corner.
Close the door.
Dry your hands.
Check the timer is in the’0’ position.
Switch on the machine.
Select correct heat position (See programme chart on facia panel).
Set the timer to the correct position (See programme chart on facia panel).
The standard cotton programme is suitable to dry normal wet cotton laundry. It
is the most efficient programme in terms of energy consumption for drying wet
cotton laundry.
Your appliance is a reversing, small door opening; a full load will typically take 115
minutes and will use approximately 3.92kWh of electricity. A half load will typically
take 66 minutes and will use approximately 2.08 kWh of electricity.
The power consumption of the off−mode and the left−on mode is zero.
Press the start button.
The drum will now begin to rotate and stop when the timer automatically reaches
the `0’ position.
Should the clothes become dry before the cycle has finished the thermostat will
automatically switch off the heater and prevent overdrying and save energy although
the drum will still rotate.
When drying large items such as sheets, we suggest you stop the dryer to
redistribute the load.
To lengthen or shorten the programme, turn the timer knob.

Instruction manual TDI101

After removing the dried clothes clean the filter as follows:
Pull the filter upwards.
Remove any threat of fluff by hand or with a soft brush.
Slide the filter back.
Wash the filter occasionally in detergent solution and with a soft brush
remove small particles.
Switch off the electricity supply.
The final part of the drying cycle occurs without heat (cool down cycle) to ensure
that the items will not be damaged.
