Instruction manual
TUMBLE DRYER
This symbol reminds you to read this instruction
manual.
Keep this manual at hand for immediate reference
whenever necessary. Always store this manual close to the
tumble dryer and remember to pass it on to any new owners
when selling or transferring the appliance, so they may
familiarise with the warnings and suggestions herein
contained.
Read these instructions carefully: the following pages
contain important information on installation and useful
suggestions for operating the appliance.

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 below a
worktop, ensure there are 10
mm between the upper panel of
the dryer and any objects above
it, and 15 mm between the sides
of the machine and the walls or
furniture units adjacent to it. This
ensures adequate air circulation. Make sure the air inlets on
the rear panel are not blocked or obstructed.
•You should also make sure that the room in which the
tumble dryer is installed is not damp, and that it is
adequately ventilated.
•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 with a hinge on the
opposite side to that of the dryer door.
Ventilation
This appliance gently dries laundry by taking in cold, clean and
relatively dry air, heating it and passing it through the fabric.
To facilitate the drying process, damp air is expelled at the
rear, through a ventilation hose. When the dryer is in use, there
has to be adequate ventilation to avoid a back flow of gases
into the room from appliances burning other fuels, including
open fires.
Mobile ventilation system
When using the tumble dryer with the mobile ventilation
system, a ventilation hose must be connected. The hose
should be securely fastened to the ventilation hole at the rear of
the appliance (see “Description of the tumble dryer”). We
recommend the hose is connected to an outlet near the tumble
dryer, if possible. If it cannot be installed in a permanent spot,
the tumble dryer will still function perfectly well if the ventilation
hose is passed through a partially-opened window.
Make sure you do not point the ventilation hose towards the
air inlet, which is located on the rear of the appliance.
The ventilation hose should not exceed a maximum length of
2.4 metres; it should also be shaken frequently to remove any
fluff, dust or water deposits inside it. Make sure you do not
crush the hose.
Fixed ventilation system
We recommend the ventilation hose is connected to a
ventilation system for windows or doors, available from the
retailer which originally sold you the appliance or from your
local spare parts stockist.
Installation
Wall ventilation hole
1. Leave an opening in the wall
to the left of the tumble dryer
installation site.
2. Make the hose as short and
straight as possible, in order to
prevent any moisture from
condensing and leaking back
into the appliance.
3. The hole in the wall must
also be straight and pointing
downwards, so that the flow of air coming out is not
impeded.
Areas Aand Bshould be checked frequently, to prevent the
accumulation of fluff or debris, particularly if the tumble dryer
is used very often. The hose adaptor must be fitted
correctly, in order to prevent damp air from coming back
into the room.
Window ventilation hole
The ventilation hole should be
directly behind the dryer in
order to keep the hose as short
as possible.
Make sure you do not push
the tumble dryer too far
backwards, as this could lead
to the ventilation hose being
crushed, bent or even
disconnected.
There should be no cuts, kinks or “U”-shaped bends in the
hose, as these could impede ventilation or trap
condensation.
Ventilation through an open window
The end of the hose must be
facing downwards, in order to
prevent the hot, damp air from
forming condensation in the
room or the tumble dryer.
Make sure that the tumble dryer is adequately ventilated,
and that the end of the ventilation hose is not pointing
towards the air inlet pipe on the rear of the appliance.
The ventilation hose must always be fitted to ensure
optimum performance.
Make sure that the ventilation hose and the air inlet vents
are not obstructed or blocked.
Do not let the tumble dryer recirculate exhaust air.
Improper use of the tumble dryer may result in fire hazards.
The air emitted by the tumble dryer must not be expelled in
the same duct as used for the fumes produced by different
appliances which burn gas or other fuels.
Do not discharge the exhaust air into an extraction system
or any duct with an extractor fan. This will affect the way the
thermal controls operate and can result in a fire hazard.

Electrical connections
Before plugging the appliance into the socket, check the following:
• Make sure your hands are dry.
• The socket must have an earth connection.
• The socket must be able to withstand the machine’s
maximum power output as indicated on the data plate (see
Description of the tumble dryer).
• The power supply voltage must fall within the values indicated
on the data plate (see Description of the tumble dryer).
• The socket must be compatible with the dryer’s plug.
Should this not be the case, replace the plug or the socket.
!Do not use extension cords.
!The dryer must not be installed outdoors, even if the space is
sheltered. It can be very dangerous if exposed to rain or storms.
!Once installed, the dryer’s electrical wire and plug must
be within reach.
!The power cord must not be bent or squashed.
!The power cord is supplied fitted with a BS1363 plug
and with a 13 amp BS1362 fuse. If it is necessary to fit a
replacement fuse, it must be a 13 Amp ASTA approved
to BS1362 type. WARNING: The plug must not be used
without a fuse cover. If a replacement fuse holder/cover is
required, it must be of the same colour coding or wording as
shown on the base of the plug.
Replacements are available from authorised dealers.
Changing the plug
The wires in the power cord are coloured in accordance
with the following.
!If the plug being replaced is a non-rewirable type, then the
cut-off plug must be disposed of safely. DO NOT leave it where
it can be inserted into a socket and create a shock hazard.
!The power cord should be checked periodically and replaced
by a cord specially prepared for this dryer and fitted only by
authorized technicians (see Service). New or longer power
cords are supplied at an extra charge by authorized dealers.
!The manufacturer denies any responsibility should any
of these rules not be followed.
! If in doubt about any of the above consult a qualified electrician.

Levelling the tumble dryer
The tumble dryer should be installed level in order to
operate correctly.
After installing the tumble
dryer in its permanent
position, make sure it is
level; check its side-to-side
levelling first, followed by
front-to-back.
If the tumble dryer is not
perfectly level, use a wooden
block to support it while you
adjust the two front feet, up
or down as necessary.
Before you start your dryer
Once the tumble dryer is installed, clean the inside of the
drum before operating it and remove any dirt accumulated
during transportation.

Starting a drying programme
1. Plug the dryer into the power supply socket.
2. Select a suitable drying programme for the type of laundry (see Laundry).
3. Open the door, ensure that the filter is clean and securely placed.
4. Load the machine, making sure that no piece of laundry gets between the door and the door seal. Close the door.
5. Turn the “Drying time selector” knob until the indicator is pointing towards the most suitable drying time for the type of fabric in
that load. Use the table to check the relationship between fabric type and load capacity (see Drying settings), and make sure you
are familiar with the instructions provided for each type of fabric (see Laundry). Do not attempt to turn the knob anticlockwise.
6. If necessary, set the temperature using the HIGH HEAT button.
7. Press the START button to start the drying cycle.
Laundry can be checked while the drying programme runs and any garments already dry can be removed, while drying continues
for the remaining items. After closing the door, press the START button to resume machine operation.
8. The final COLD DRYING phase (i.e. the fabrics are cooled) activates during the last few minutes of the drying programme; always
allow this phase to terminate.
9. Open the door, remove the laundry then clean the filter and replace it.
10. Disconnect the dryer from the power supply.
