Installation of your Dryer
There is no internal packing to be removed before use, but make
sure the drum is empty. Wipe the inside of the Drum before use to
remove any transit dust. Your Dryer does not blow moist air into
the room, avoiding the requirement of a vent hose.
Position the Dryer where air can freely circulate around it, a 15mm
gap each side is recommended.
The door of your Dryer is reversible and can easily be changed
before installation. Exchange diagonally the hinge brackets for
blanking plugs. Exchange door latch and catch with their
opposing blanking plates. See diagram above.
Support the weight of the door when removing hinges.
Dryers can be to permanently stack on top of Washing machines,
saving valuable floor space. The Dryer should not be
located next to a hob, cooker, heater or high level grill, as heat
from these appliances could cause damage. When ordering you
must state the product numbers of the Washing machine and
Tumble Dryer (Tel. No. 0541 530 530).
Note: Separate mains plugs and sockets must be used for each
appliance. Do not use 2-way adaptors or extension leads.
As the dryer is heavy assistance should be obtained when
stacking the dryer.

Stacking Your
Appliance

The following wash-care labels should be observed.
The majority of fabrics today can be dried in a Dryer. There are however certain fabric
finishes which need to be dried away from direct heat.
Item can be used in Dryer.

Caring for your Wash
Items not suitable for your Dryer ...
Fabric Conditioner
For really fresh and soft fabrics, we recommend you use a liquid fabric conditioner in the final
rinse of your wash. This helps to eliminate the build up of static.
6
Items containing Rubber or Plastic
film, e.g. pillows, cushions, PVC
rainwear.
Inflammable articles or items
containing inflammable
substances, e.g. towels
contaminated with hair lacquer.
Fibreglass, e.g. some types of
curtains.
Items which have been dry cleaned.
Woollen articles.
Large bulky items, e.g. pillows,
continental quilts, sleeping bags,
double blankets and large bedspreads.

The same care should be taken for Drying fabrics as when
Washing, e.g. split fabric groups, close all zips and hooks, belts
and strings should be tied in loose bow.
It is important to extract as much water as possible from each item
before drying. This reduces the drying time, energy consumption
and the running cost.
Cotton fabrics max. 6 Kg (13.2 lb)
Synthetics, eg Polyester, polycotton max. 3 Kg (6.6 lb)
Acrylics max. 2 Kg (4.4 lb)
Note: Man-made fibres require more space to dry without creasing.
If cotton/terry towelling items are grouped with synthetic fabrics
they could remain damp at the end of the drying cycle. If this
occurs, simply replace cottons for a short period of drying to
finish off.
The table below shows the approximate weight of everyday items.

Items requiring special attention
8
Drying requirements of blankets and bedspreads vary according to size,
weight and fabric.
If you have difficulty getting them into the Dryer, the machine will have
difficulty drying them properly as they expand when drying and prevent
air flow through the Dryer. This can cause the appliance to overheat.
Blankets (e.g. Acrilan, Courtelle, Dralon and Orlon) must never be over
dried. Such acrylic fabrics should be dried with care on low heat.
Always refer to manufacturers drying instructions.
Always dry starched articles separately from your normal garments.
Ensure as much of the solution is removed from the garments as possible
before placing in the Dryer.
Use a slightly heavier starch solution than you would when drying items
on the washing line.
If garments are over dried the starch will powder, leaving the fabric
limp.

useful for damp dry results.
The Eco/Economy option optimises the energy efficiency, saving time and money for the
