DRYING HINTS
• Close pillowcases and covers with fasteners to prevent small laundry items
geng tangled inside them. Close press studs, zips, hooks, e belts, and apron
strings. Sort laundry according to type and degree of drying required.
• Do not overdry laundry, this avoids creasing and saves energy.
• Avoid drying dark clothes with light coloured uy items such as towels as they
could aract u.
• Laundry must be thoroughly spun before tumble drying.
• Even easy-case items (eg. shirts) should be briey pre-spun before drying.
• Knied texles (knied underwear) may shrink a lile during drying. Please
do not overdry items of this type. It is advisable to allow for shrinkage when
choosing the size of new purchases.
• You can also put starched items into your dryer. However, to achieve the desired
starched eect, choose the programme Iron Dry. To remove any starch residues,
wipe out the internal drum aer drying with a moist cloth and then rub it dry.
• To avoid a stac charge when drying is completed, use either a fabric soener
when you are washing the laundry or a fabric condioner specically for tumble
dryers.
• Remove the laundry when the dryer has nished drying.
• If individual items are sll damp aer drying, set a brief post-drying me of at
least 30 minutes. This will be necessary parcularly for mullayered items (eg.
collars, pockets, etc.).
• Make sure that no metal objects are le in the laundry (eg. hair clips, safety
pins, pins).
• Turn items with double-layered fabrics inside out (eg. with coonlined anoraks,
the coon layer should be on the outside). These fabrics will then dry beer.
Maximum loads
Recommended loads are indicated in the programme charts.
General rules:
• Coon, linen: drum full but not too ghtly packed.
• Synthecs: drum no more than half full.
• Delicate fabrics and woollens: drum no more than quarter full.
Try to load to the maximum capacity as small loads are uneconomical.

CARE AND CLEANING
Care and Cleaning
You must DISCONNECT the appliance from the electricity supply before you can
carry out any cleaning or maintenance work.
External cleaning
Use only soap and water and then dry thoroughly. Important: do not use methylated
spirits, diluents, or similar products.
Cleaning the door
Periodically clean the interior part of the door
to remove any u. Proper cleaning ensures
eecve drying.
Cleaning the lter
Your dryer will only funcon well if the lter
is clean. The lter collects all the u which
accumulates during drying and they must
therefore be cleaned at the end of each
programme. Do so with a damp cloth before
removing the laundry.
The lter must be removed for cleaning (see
picture).
Before Use
WARNING: Do not use the appliance without the lter.

INSTALLATION
Posioning
It is recommended that for your convenience, the machine is posioned close to
your washing machine. Whilst drying, the tumble dryer will expel a certain amount
of warm, very moist air, and this should be removed form the room as quickly as
possible to prevent condensaon. In an extremely well venlated room or close to
an open window, this may occur naturally. However, in general, it is beer to carry
the dryer’s exhaust outside via the vent hose supplied with the appliance; ending
either temporarily at an open window, or permanently at a xed venlaon grille,
ed to an exterior wall or window.
The tumble dryer must be installed in a clean place, where dirt does not build up.
Make sure there are no obstrucng items or material near the air-intake louvres at
the back (eg. paper, rags, etc.). To keep vibraon and noise to a minimum when the
dryer is in use, it should be placed on a rm, level surface.
NOTE: If the oor is uneven, adjust the adjustable feet. DO not put any wooden
pieces or other objects under foot bases.
Level Adjustment
When pushing down on the diagonal
edges of the top plate of the dryer, the
machine should not rock at all. Please
check all corners. If the machine rocks,
adjust the feet again.
• Loosen the locknuts with the
spanner.
• Adjust the adjustable feet: lower
the dryer by turning right and
ascend it by turning le.
• Tighten the locknut with the spanner
aer ensuring the dryer is level.
NOTE: The locknuts must be ghtened aer adjustment. Any looseness can cause
vibraon and noise.
The feet must never be removed. Do not restrict the oor clearance through deep
pile carpets, strips of wood or similar. This might cause heat build-up which would
interfere with the operaon of the appliance.

INSTALLATION
IMPORTANT: The hot air emied by the tumble dryer can reach temperatures
of up to 60oC. The appliance must therefore not be installed on oors which are
not resistant to high temperatures. When operang the tumble dryer, the room
temperature must not be lower than +5oC or higher than +35oC as it may aect the
performance of the appliance.
Fing the vent hose
To simplify the installaon, there is a choice of vent outlets: one at the back, the
other on the le hand side.
Connect the hose to whichever is more convenient by pulling the ring nut (A) form
the vent outlet at the back, aligning the arrows of the hose and ring nut, then
fastening by screwing the hose to the direcon of the arrow, and nally pushing it
rmly back into place. The unused vents should now be sealed with the special snap
cover (B) provided.
Advice:
If the hose is long and the room temperature is low,
the moisture might condense inside the hose. This is
an unavoidable natural phenomenon. To prevent this
water from lying in the hose or owing back into the
tumble dryer, it is advisable to drill a small hole (dia.
3mm) in the lowest point of the hose and to place a
small container below it (C).
Once connected to the dryer, run the vent hose to the
desired outlet point - it should contain no more than
two bends. As to the outlet itself, if you have decided
on a xed wall/window grille, a good local builders
merchant should be able to supply you with the
necessary ngs and installaon advice.
