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).
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 be
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.
Do not Attempt to dry dripping wet articles.
Do not Dry unwashed items in the tumble dryer.

5
Do not Dry wool or wool mixture articles unless the article is
labeled as suitable. This should avoid shrinkage.
Do not Items such as foam rubber (latex foam), shower caps,
waterproof textiles, rubber backed articles and clothes
or pillows fitted with foam rubber pads should not be
dried in the tumble dryer.
Do not Exhaust air must not be discharged 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
socket.
Do not Use the tumble dryer if you suspect that it is damaged in
anyway.
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.

setting and include a 12 minute cool-down period at the end of the
cycle, followed by the automatic anti-crease cycle.
Programme 8 operates without the heater (regardless of the heat
switch setting), circulating air through the dryer at the ambient
temperature.
Please note: the use of an iron dry programme will use 30% less
energy than a cupboard dry programme

To run a programme
• 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.
• Switch on the machine.
• Select correct heat position.
• Set the programme to the required dryness setting.
• Press the start button.
The standard cotton programme is suitable to dry normal wet
cotton laundry. It is the most ecient 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 135 minutes and will use approximately 4.39kWh of
electricity. A half load will typically take 75 minutes and will use
approximately 2.38 kWh of electricity.
The power consumption of the o-mode and the left-on mode is zero.

• The drum will begin to turn, and will stop when the clothes are
dry. The drum will rotate clockwise and anticlockwise during the
programme alternately to reduce creasing.
• There is an automatic 12 minute cool down period at the end of the
cycle, during which the heater is switched o, to minimise creasing
and prevent damage to the clothing.
• After each programme, the dryer will run an anti-crease programme,
rotating the drum briefly every six minutes until the dryer is stopped
or the door is opened.
• Once the clothes are removed, clean the filter.
• Switch o the electricity supply.

10
Use And Controls
Should the clothes 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 to redistribute the load.
To stop the machine during the middle of a programme, open the
door: the drum will stop rotating automatically and reset when you
close the door.
To restart the programme, press activate and then the start button.
The final part of the drying cycle occurs without heat (cool down cycle)
to ensure that the items will not be damaged.
