Important information
To ensure that the condenser dryer functions
efficiently, the following routine maintenance
procedures must be carried out:
Fluff filter  CLEAN off any fluff build-up on the
filter after each drying cycle.
Step 1
Open the dryer door by pressing
it as sho n in the picture.
Step 2
Pull out the filter (using t o
fingers).
Step 3
Clean off any fluff build-up on the
internal surface of the filter net.
Step 4
Replace the filter  never operate
the dryer ithout the filter in
place.
Failure to clean the filter after each drying cycle
will reduce drying performance. The machine will
take longer to dry and it will consume more
energy.
Water container  empty the water container after
each drying cycle.
Step 1
Pull the ater container to ards
you and remove it completely
from the dryer.
Step 2
Empty all the ater in the ater
container.
Step 3
Replace the ater container
making sure that it is securely
fixed.
Failure to empty the water container may cause
the following:
- The dryer stops heating (thus the load may still
be damp at the end of the drying cycle).
- The Empty water container light lights up to
signal that the water container is full.
Filling of the Water Container
When the dryer is first used water will not
immediately enter the water container as the
pump needs to be primed. This is done
automatically and will take a few minutes, during
this period the efficiency of the drying process is
not affected.

Where to install the tumble dryer
 Install the dryer far from gas
ranges, stoves, radiators or
hobs, as flames may damage it.
If the dryer is installed belo a
orktop, ensure there are 10
mm bet een the upper panel of
the dryer and any objects
above it, and 15 mm bet een
the sides of the machine and
the alls or furniture units
adjacent to it. This ensures
adequate air circulation.
Ventilation
 The room must be adequately ventilated hile the dryer is
running. Make sure that the dryer is installed in a room free of
humidity and ith adequate air circulation. The flo of air
around the dryer is essential to allo ater to condense
during drying; the dryer ill not function properly if it is placed
in an enclosed space or inside a cabinet.
 Some condensation may form if the dryer is used in a small
or cold room.
 We do not recommend that the dryer is installed in a
cupboard but the dryer must never be installed behind a
lockable door, a sliding door or a door ith a hinge on the
opposite side to that of the dryer door.
Water drain
If your dryer is installed next to a drain the ater can be
plumbed into this drain. This does a ay ith the need to
empty the ater container. If the dryer is stacked onto or
installed next to a ashing machine it can share the same
drain. The height of the drain must be less than 3' (1 m)
from the bottom of the dryer.
Remove existing hose from position sho n in picture A
and fit a suitable length of hose and connect as sho n
in picture B.
 Make sure that the hose is not squashed or kinked
when the dryer is in its final location.
