Installation
GB Permanent venting
In conjunction wit t e vent tube we recommend
using a Wall/Window Vent Kit, available at a retail
location or t e nearest Spare Parts Dealer.
Wall mounting
1. Leave an opening in t e
wall to t e left of t e
dryers proposed position.
2. Keep t e tube as s ort
and straig t as possible
to prevent condensed
moisture from backing up
into t e dryer.
3. Similarly, t e duct in t e
wall s ould slope
downwards towards t e
outside.
Window mounting
1. Wit a stacked dryer
t e ole in t e window
s ould ideally be made
below t e vent.
2. T e tube s ould be
kept as s ort as possible.
Depending on ow often you use your dryer, it is
essential t at areas A and B are c ecked periodically
to remove lint or debris.
T e vent tube adaptor must be fitted securely t us
preventing any umid air from being emitted back into
t e room.
!T e Dryer s ould not be pus ed so far back t at t e
tube adaptor is pulled out of position or t e tube is
squas ed or bent.
!T e tube s ould be kept clear of t e air intake vent
and kinks or ‘U’ bends must be avoided as t ese will
obstruct t e tube or trap condensation.
Where to put your dryer
●Place your dryer at a distance from gas ranges,
stoves, eaters, or cook tops because flames can
damage t e appliance.
●If you are going to install t e
appliance under a work
counter, be sure to leave a
10mm space between t e
top and any ot er objects on
or above t e mac ine and a
15mm space between t e
sides and lateral furnis ings
or walls. T is is to ensure
proper air circulation. Make sure t at t e back
vents are not obstructed.
●Make sure you put your dryer in an environment
t at is not damp and as proper air circulation
t roug out. t e dryer will not operate efficiently in
an enclosed space or cupboard.
!We do not recommend t at t e dryer is installed in a
cupboard but t e dryer must never be installed
be ind a lockable door, a sliding door or a door wit a
inge on t e opposite side to t at of t e dryer door.
Ventilation
T e Dryer dries your laundry by drawing in cool, clean
and relatively dry air, eating it, and t en distributing
it t roug t e clot es as t ey are gently tumbled. For
optimum performance, t e moist air is t en blown out
t roug a vent tube at t e back of t e dryer.
W en t e dryer is in use, t ere as to be adequate
ventilation to avoid t e back flow of gases into t e room
from appliances burning ot er fuels, including open fires.
Mobile venting
A vent tube must always be fitted w en t e dryer is
used in conjunction wit Mobile Venting.
T e tube must be fitted securely into t e back of t e
dryer (see Dryer Description). If possible, it is always
best to connect t e tube to a permanent
outlet close to t e dryer. If permanent installation is
not possible, t e dryer will work just as well wit t e
tube passing t roug a partly-opened window.
!Ensure t at t e end of t e tube is not directed
toward t e air intake vent at t e rear of t e dryer.
!T e vent tube s ould not exceed 2.4 metres in
lengt and s ould be kept free of any possible
accumulation of fluff, lint and water by s aking it out
frequently. Always ensure t at t e tube is not
squas ed.
Minimum gap 10mm
Minimum gaps
15mm

Open window venting
T e end of t e tube
s ould be directed
downwards, to prevent
warm moist air from
condensing in t e room or
in t e dryer.
!Ensure t at t e dryer is adequately ventilated and
t at t e end of t e vent tube is not directed towards
t e air intake duct.
!T e vent tube must always be fitted for optimum
performance.
!Make sure t at t e vent tube and air intake vents
are not obstructed or blocked.
!T e dryer must not recycle ex aust air.
!Misusing a tumble dryer may create a fire azard.
!Do not disc arge ex aust air into a flue w ic is
used for ex aust fumes from ot er appliances t at
burn gas or ot er fuels.
Electrical connections
Make sure of t e following before you insert t e plug

Changing the plug
T e wires in t e power cord are coloured in accordance
wit t e following:
!If t e plug being replaced is a non-rewirable type,
t en t e cut-off plug must be disposed of safely. DO
NOT leave it w ere it can be inserted into a socket

Easy Iron Programme
‘Easy Iron’ is a s ort 10 minute programme (8 minutes of eat followed by a 2 minute cool tumble period) w ic
fluffs t e fibres of clot ing t at ave been left in t e same position/location for an extended period of time.
T e cycle relaxes t e fibres and makes t em easier to iron and fold.
!‘Easy Iron’ is not a drying programme and s ould not be used for wet articles of clot ing.
For best results:
1. Do not load more t an t e maximum capacity.
T ese numbers refer to t e dry weig t:
Fabric Maximum load
Cotton and Cotton mixtures 2.5kg
Synt etics 2kg
Denim 2kg
2. Unload t e dryer immediately after t e end of t e programme, ang, fold or iron t e articles and put
t em away in t e closet. S ould t is not be possible repeat t e programme.
T e ‘Easy Iron’ effect varies from one fabric to t e next. It works well on traditional fabrics like Cotton or
Cotton mix, and less well on acrylic fibres and on materials suc as Tencel®.
Wool Programme
●T is is a programme for tumble dryer safe garments marked wit t e symbol .
●It can be used for load sizes up to 1kg (approximately 3 sweaters).
●We recommend t at garments are turned inside out before drying.
●T is programme will take about 20 to 40 minutes, but may take longer depending on t e size and density of
t e load and t e spin speed used in your was er.
●Loads dried using t is programme are usually ready to wear, but on some eavier garments t e edges
may be slig tly damp. Allow t ese to dry naturally as over-drying could damage garments.
!Unlike ot er materials, t e mec anism of wool s rinkage is irreversible; i.e. it will not stretc back to
original size and s ape.
!T is programme is not suitable for Acrylic garments.
