User Information
The room must be adequately ventilated to avoid the backflow of
gases into the room from appliances burning gas or any other fuels.
This includes open fires.
It is important to clean the lint filter after each drying cycle. Items
that have been soiled with substances such as cooking oil, acetone,
alcohol, petrol, kerosene, spot removers, turpentine, waxes and wax
removers should be washed in hot water with an extra amount of
detergent before being dried in the tumble dryer.
Fabric softeners, or similar products, should be used as specified by
the fabric softener instructions.
Remove all objects from pockets such as lighters and matches.
We recommend that the appliance is switched o each time after
use. It should be disconnected from the electricity supply if it is to be
unattended for long periods, ( i.e weekends or holiday etc).
These machines are unsuitable for use with an external time clock.
Do not Overload the dryer.
Do not Dry articles singly as they tend to roll up and so
increase drying time.
Do not Dry anything other than the recommended articles
placed in the tumble dryer. These can cause fires.
Do not Place articles which have been in contact with dry
cleaning fluid, petrol, cooking oil, fat, hair laquer or other
flammable substances in the tumble dryer.

5
Do not Attempt to dry dripping wet articles.
Do not Dry unwashed items in the tumble dryer.
Do not Dry wool or wool mixture articles unless the article is
labeled as suitable. This should avoid shrinkage.
Do not Dry items such as foam rubber (latex foam), shower
caps, waterproof textiles, rubber backed articles and
clothes or pillows fitted with foam rubber pads.
Do not Discharge exhaust air into a flue which is used for
exhausting fumes from appliances burning gas or other
fuels.
Do not Allow the vent hose (where applicable) or filter to
become blocked.
Do not Allow lint to accumulate around the tumble dryer.
Do not Use a two-way or multi-way adapter, or extension lead.
The dryer must be connected to its own individual 13A
socket.
Do not Use the tumble dryer if you suspect that it is damaged in
any way.
Never switch the dryer o and leave a hot load in the drum – risk
of re.
WARNING: Never stop a tumble dryer before the end of a drying
cycle unless all items are quickly removed and spread out so the
heat is dissipated.
This label positioned on the rear of your dryer, indicates
the surface is hot when in operation – avoid touching.

Use and Controls
A. The timer - turn the timer knob clockwise until the required
programme time around the timer knob is selected.
B. Heat setting - select gentle or intensive heat as
recommended on the control panel.
C. Start - press the start button after selecting the required drying time.
•Sort out the clothes into groups of similar fabrics and colours.
Check the care label inside the garment. We suggest that 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.
•Set the timer to the correct position (See programme around the
timer on fascia panel).
•For energy labeling purposes (EN61121:2005) for a cotton dry load,
use the maximum load weight for cotton and set the timer to the
recommended drying time for cotton dry as specified on the control
panel.
•The standard cotton programme used at full and partial load is the
standard drying programme to which the information in the label
and the fiche relate. This programme is suitable for drying normal
wet cotton laundry. It is the most ecient programme in terms of
energy consumption for cotton
•Your appliance is a reversing, small door opening, dryer. A full load
will typically take 130 minutes and will use approximately 4.48kWh
of electricity. A half load will typically take 75 minutes and will use
approximately 2.32kWh of electricity.
•Press the start button.
•The drum will now begin to rotate and will stop automatically when
the timer reaches the “0” position.
•Once the clothes are removed, clean the filter.
•Switch o the electricity supply.
Should the clothes become dry before the cycle has finished the
thermostat will automatically switch o the heater to prevent over
drying and save energy although the drum will still rotate.
When drying large items, such as sheets, we suggest you stop the
dryer periodically to redistribute the load.

8
To stop the machine in the middle of a programme, open the door:
The drum will stop rotating automatically and reset when you close
the door.
To lengthen or shorten the programme, turn the timer knob.
The final part of the drying cycle occurs without heat (cool down cycle)
to ensure that the items will not be damaged.
Care labels you may nd on your fabrics
Sticker
The sticker below, found on your tumble dryer, is a polite reminder for
the user to read the instruction manual.

Care and Maintenance
Cleaning The Filter
The filter is found by opening the door
(fig. 2) and must always be in position
when drying items in the appliance.
To allow the dryer to operate eciently
the filter should be cleaned after each
drying cycle.
Do not be alarmed by the amount of lint
deposited on the mesh. It is not due
to excessive wear caused by the dryer
but more an indication of its ecient
operation. All fabric loses lint when
drying but it goes unnoticed into the air.
In a tumble dryer it simply collects in the
filter.
After removing the dried clothes, clean
the filter as follows:
• Pull the lter upwards.
• Remove any threads or lint by hand or
with a soft brush.
• Slide the lter back.
• Wash the lter occasionally in
detergent solution and remove small
particles with a soft brush.

Troubleshooting
If the clothes are not dry after normal drying time:
- Check that the filter is clean.
- Check that you used the correct heat setting.
- Check that the vent hose is not blocked (sometimes a strong wind
may cause a back pressure).
- Check that you have not set the timer within a cool down period.
If your appliance does not work, check the following points before
contacting CDA Customer Care
•Check that there is power to the appliance.
•Check that the machine is switched on and the door properly
closed.
•This appliance has a resetable cut-out. Check this has not
operated. Press the red button on the right hand side at the back
of your dryer. If the cut-out has operated the sharp “click” will be
heard. This cut-out only operates if the airflow is severely restricted
so make sure the filter is clean and that all other restrictions are
removed before restarting.
•Check the fuse in the moulded plug.

11
Installation
Do not block the vent at the front or
base of the dryer as this will impair the
functioning of the appliance and could
cause it to overheat. This appliance
must not be installed behind a lockable
door, a sliding door or a door with
hinges on the opposite side to that of
the tumble dryer.
Tumble Dryer Venting
Your tumble dryer will release warm, damp air in one of three ways.
1) Extendable rear venting - a long flexible vent hose is built into the
dryer and can be extended from the large opening at the rear of the
machine.
2) Fixed rear venting - venting is through the large opening at the
bottom of the rear panel. A separate extendable vent hose can be
attached if desired.
3) Front venting - this is a special type of dryer which vents through a
grille on the plinth. The opening on the rear panel is blanked o
during manufacturing.
Rear vented dryers can be used without a vent hose but not in a
confined space. Rear vented machines must have a vent hose if they
are installed under a work surface. To minimise condensation it is
preferable to vent through a vent to outside. This may be through
fig. 3

12
an open door or window. The best
solution is to connect the vent hose
to a permanent connection through a
wall or a single glazed window. This
is particularly recommended for small,
cool rooms. Front venting machines
must be converted to extendible rear
venting before a permanent connection
can be made to the outside.
When using a vent hose, remember the following points:
•The vent hose must be at least 10cm (4 ins) in diameter.
•No more than three right-angled bends should be allowed when
positioning the vent hose.
•Do not distort or constrict the vent hose as this will reduce the
airflow.
•The vent hose must not be shared with other appliances, for
example, a cooker hood outlet.
