Adequate ventilation must be provided in the room where the
tumble dryer is located to prevent gases from appliances
burning other fuels, including open fires, being drawn into the
room during operation of the tumble dryer.
●Exhaust air must not be discharged into a flue which is
used for exhausting fumes from appliances burning gas or
other fuels.
●Check regularly that the air flowing through the dryer is
not restricted.
●Check the fluff filter after use, and clean, if necessary.
●The inlet and outlets should be kept free from
obstructions. To ensure adequate ventilation the space
between the bottom of the machine and the floor must
not be obstructed. There should be a gap of at least
12mm between the machine and any obstructions.
●Prevent items from falling or collecting behind the dryer
as these may obstruct the air inlet and outlet.
●NNEEVVEERRinstall the dryer up against curtains.
If the dryer is installed under a worktop or built-in, it is
essential to use the venting hose to carry the hot moist air
away from the dryer otherwise re-circulation of the moist air
will prevent the dryer from working efficiently.
The hose is assembled and fitted to the machine as shown.
The hose may be fitted through a wall or through an open
door or window (Fig. 1). The hose is 95mm (3.75 inches) in
diameter and will extend up to 1.8 metres (6 feet).
Venting hoses longer than 1.8 metres (6 feet) are not
recommended as the dryer performance will be reduced.
Ensure that the venting hose is not kinked as this will prevent
the dryer from working efficiently.

Refer to the Drying guide table or the fabric labels to select
the most suitable programme.
●Open the door and load the drum with laundry. Ensure
that garments do not hinder closure of the door.
●If drying delicate items press the ‘ACRYLICS/SYNTHETICS’
button to reduce the heat level. Press again on
completion, to select high temperature.
HIGH heat setting
LOW heat setting
●Turn the ‘DRYING TIME’ Selector until the required drying
time aligns with the dial.
●The Fast Iron programme provides a conditioning and
anti-crease function. The dryer will heat the load for 8
minutes followed by a 2 minute cool down period and is
especially good for garments which may have been left
for some time prior to ironing, in a linen basket for
example. Garments may also become stiffened when
dried outside on a washing line or inside on radiators. The
Fast Iron process relaxes the creases in the fabric making
ironing quicker and easier.
●Gently close the door pushing it slowly until you hear the
door ‘click’ shut.
●Press the ‘ON’ button. The indicator will light and the
drying cycle begins.
●The load is dried by tumbling in thermostatically
controlled warm air. Cool air is used for the last 15
minutes to reduce creasing and cool the load ready for
handling.
●When the program is fully completed the drum will stop
rotating and the dial will point to 0.
●Open the door and remove the load.
●Clean the filter after every drying cycle to ensure
maximum dryer efficiency.
