•
Always
load
well
spun
laundry.
The
higher
the
spin
speed
the
lower
the
electricity
consumption
and
the
shorter
the
drying
time.
•
DO
NOT
load
dripping
wet
laundry
into
the
dryer.
Roll
the
article
in
a
towel
or
spin
to
remove
excess
water.
•
Close
poppers
and
zips
and
fasten
any
buttons.
•
Sort
the
laundry.
Separate
synthetics
from
cottons/linens,
and
dry
separately.
•
Remove
the
laundry
immediately
after
the
programme
has
finished
or
select
the
Anti-crease
option.
•
Use
a
fabric
conditioning
sheet
to
reduce
static.
We
recommend
the
sheet
is
pinned
to
an
article
of
laundry
(using
a
safety
pin).
•
Mix
the
load
i.e.
large
and
small
articles.
•
When
drying
items
such
as
sheets,
we
recommend
you
periodically
stop
the
dryer
to
redistribute
the
load.
DO
NOT
use
the
tumble
dryer
to
dry
the
following:
•
Articles
contaminated
with
inflammable
substances
e.g.
petrol,
cleaning
solvents,
cooking
oil,
fats
or
hair
lacquer.
•
Woollen
and
synthetic
wool
mixtures
unless
the
item
is
labelled
as
suitable
for
tumble
drying.
•
Very
delicate
articles
such
as
silk
•
Very
large
and
bulky
items
such
as
duvets
or
sleeping
bags.

you
select
the
correct
drying
time
and
temperature.
Select
the
Anti-crease
option
if
required.
The
machine
will
now
start
working.
It
will
rotate
in
a
clockwise
direction,
and
will
periodically
rotate
anti¬
clockwise
for
approximately
20
seconds,
which
helps
to
prevent
tangling.
•

lengthen
or
shorten
a
timed
programme,
turn
the
time
selector
dial
clockwise
until
the
correct

an
automatic
12
minute
cool
down
period
at
the
end
of
every
cycle,
during

Preparation
•
The
installation
surface
must
be
clean
and
dry.
•
Do
not
install
on
a
deep
pile
carpet.
•
Do
not
install
the
appliance
where
the
temperature
may
fall
below
freezing
or
rise
above
35°C.
•
Do
not
use
a
two
way
electrical
adapter
or
extension
lead.
The
dryer
must
be
connected
to
its
own
socket.
•
Please
ensure
that
when
the
appliance
is
installed
it
is
easily
accessible
for
the
engineer
in
the
event
of
a
breakdown.
Venting
Whilst
drying,
the
tumble
dryer
will
expel
a
certain
amount
of
warm,
very
moist
air,
which
should
be
removed
from
the
room
as
quickly
as
possible
to
prevent
condensation.
The
most
effective
solution
is
to
make
a
permanent
connection
through
a
wall.
A
permanent
vent
kit
can
be
obtained
for
this
purpose.
Alternatively
use
the
extendible
vent
hose
supplied
to
direct
the
warm
air
to
an
open
window
or
door.
(As
shown
in
Fig
1).
/f\
The
vent
hose
must
not
be
connected
to
any
cooker
hood
ducting,
chimney,
or
fuel
pipe
designed
to
carry
exhaust
from
a
fuel
burning
heating
appliance.
Door
