suggest that a fabric conditioner be used to reduce static electricity. Delicate articles e.g. tights should be
placed inside a pillowcase. It is better to dry small and large articles together.
• Switch on the machine (at the socket).
• Check the timer is in the ’0’ position.
• Open the door and load clothes loosely in the drum (Load sheets starting with one corner).
• Close the door.
• Dry your hands (before touching controls).

Tumble drying beneficial
Do not tumble dry
Dry flat
• The drum will now begin to rotate and stop when the timer automatically reaches the ‘0’ position.
• Should the clothes become dry before the cycle has finished the thermostat will automatically switch off
the heater and prevent over drying and save energy although the drum will still rotate.
• To stop the machine during the middle of a programme, simply open the door: the drum will stop
rotating automatically and reset when you close the door. To lengthen or shorten the programme, turn
the timer knob.
Note: The final part of the drying cycle occurs without heat (cool down cycle) to ensure items will not be
damaged.
The standard cotton programme is suitable to dry normal damp cotton laundry. It is the most efficient
programme in terms of energy consumption for drying wet cotton laundry.
Your appliance is reversing, has a small door opening; a full load will typically take 115 minutes and will use
approximately 3.92kWh of electricity. A half load will typically take 66 minutes and will use approximately
2.08 kWh of electricity.
The power consumption of the off-mode and the left-on mode is zero. Set the timer to the correct position
(See programme chart on facia panel).
Press the start button.
IMPORTANT
After removing the dried clothes clean the filter as follows:
Switch off the electricity supply.
1. Remove any fluff around the door area by hand or soft brush.
2. Slide the filter out of the machine and clean filter and area around the filter.
(Wash the filter occasionally in detergent solution and with a soft brush remove small particles).
Care labels you may find on your clothes:
Do not use condenser kits

The Filter
• The filter is found, as seen from the diagram, by opening the door and must always be in position
when drying items in the appliance.
• To allow the dryer to operate efficiently it should be cleaned after each drying cycle.
• Do not be alarmed by the amount of fluff deposited on the mesh. It is not due to excessive wear
caused by the dryer but more an indication of its efficient operation.
• All fabrics lose fluff when drying but it goes unnoticed into the air. In a tumble dryer it simply collects in
the filter.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS: We strongly recommend that any electrical work is carried out by a qualified
person complying with the latest edition of the IEE electrical regulations.
IMPORTANT: Please remember that the tumble dryer must be capable of being switched off, (disconnected
from the supply), when fitted in position.
As the colours of the wires in the mains lead of this appliance may not correspond with the coloured
marking indentifying the terminals in your plug proceed as follows
1. Connect the green - yellow or green (earth) wire terminal in the plug marked ‘E’ or with the symbol
or coloured green and yellow or green.
2. Connect the blue (neutral) wire to the terminal in the plug marked ‘N’ or coloured black.
3. Connect the brown (live) wire to the terminal in the plug marked ‘L’ or coloured red.
With alternative plugs 13 A fuse must be fitted either in the plug or an adapter in the main fuse box.
If in doubt contact a qualified electrican.

04 - Installation
The tumble dryer is fully compatible with 575mm deep kitchen units and complies with all current relevant
EU regulations.
Your dryer is provided with a vent hose which will extend to approx 1.6m. We strongly recommend that this
is vented through the wall with the attachment provided. The position of the hole (100mm diameter) for the
vent directly behind the tumble dryer is shown in the diagram below.DO NOT KINK OR FOLD HOSE.
If the through the wall vent is to be positioned other than behind the dryer, the vent hose should be
positioned at floor level and through the adjacent side panel to relevant position. The plinth must be cut-out
to accommodate the air vent grill at the bottom front of the tumble dryer (DO NOT FOLD / KINK HOSE).
The air vent at the front of the appliance must never be covered or blocked in any way as this will
cause the dryer to overheat.The dryer should not be placed directly next to ovens or cookers, as the
performance of the dryer may be affected.

If your machine does not work, check the following points before contacting the service number.
Problem Solution
If the clothes are not dry after normal
drying time
• Check if the filter is clean.
• Check that you used the correct heat setting.
• Check that the venting hose is not blocked (sometimes
a strong wind may cause a back pressure).
• Check that you have not set the timer within a cool
down period.
• Drum over filled with clothes
Machine has cut off or stopped working
• Check there is a supply of electricity.
• Check that the machine is switched on and the door
properly closed.
• Some machines are fitted with a resetable cut-out.
Check this has not operated. If your dryer has a red
button on the right hand side at the back if your
dryer, press it. If it has operated the sharp “click” will
be heard. This cut-out only operates if the air flow is
severely restricted so make sure the filter is clean
and that all other restrictions are removed before
