Operation
Sort out the clothes into groups of similar fabrics and colours. Check the care label inside the garment. We
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).
• Select correct heat position (See programme chart on facia panel).
• Rotate timer knob, to select the drying time.
• Push start button.

• 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.
