INSTALLATION
Position the tumble dryer so that the plug remains accessible after installation. Do not block the
vent at the side of the dryer, as this will impair the working of the machine. This appliance must not
be installed behind a lockable door, a sliding door or a door with hinges on the opposite side to that
of the tumble dryer.
TUMBLE DRYER VENTING
When using a vent hose, remember the following points:
This tumble dryer is designed to be wall mounted. A
range of accessories are available to achieve an ideal
installation.
0312 793 01090 – Wall Mounting Kit
If mounting your tumble dryer to the wall, please follow
the instructions provided in the wall mounting kit.
ACCESSORY - Shoe Rack -
The shoe rack is intended for stationary drying of items such as sport shoes that could damage the
dryer if tumbled. Also a variety of clothes particularly those that should be dried flat such as woolens
and is also suitable for other delicate items that should not be tumbled such as hats, gloves and
scarves.
Fig 1 Fig 2
Installation
Locate the centre rib wire into the hole in the plastic hub at the back of drum. (fig 1) Ensure the front
(curved part) of the rack locates correctly between the filter and the drum front (fig 2)
Your tumble dryer is supplied with a vent hose.
A vent hose allows you to direct the warm, damp air expelled from the
rear of the dryer to an open door or window.
The best solution is to make a permanent connection through either a
wall or a window. This is particularly recommended for small, cool
rooms and a kit for this purpose is available as an accessory.

The vent hose must be at least 10cm (4 ins) in diameter.
No more than three right-angled bends should be allowed when positioning the vent hose.
Do not distort or constrict the vent hose as this will reduce the airflow.
When drying, the vent hose must always be extended to an open door or window.
The vent hose must not be shared with other appliances, for example, a cooker hood outlet.
Note: Do not obstruct or add a mesh to the vent hose outlet during use and ensure that it cannot be
blocked or bent sharply which may obstruct the airflow.
It is recommended that the interior of the hose be periodically inspected and cleaned if necessary.
FINAL INSTALLATION
Place the filter in its operating position as shown in the diagram.
Remove any dust by wiping the drum and door with a damp cloth. Any
initial smell of burning will be caused by dust on the heater and will
quickly disappear.
THE CONTROLS
A. THE TIMER Select the required drying time based on the recommendations on the control
panel.
B. SENSING ON/OFF BUTTON – for automatic sensing
C. HEAT SWITCH – Select the required heat setting based on the recommendations on the
control panel.
PREPARATION

Check care labels inside the garments.
CARE LABELS YOU MAY FIND ON YOUR FABRICS
Do not tumble dry woollen or wool mixture articles unless the article is labelled as being suitable.
This should avoid shrinkage.
Place delicate articles, e.g.tights, scarves, inside a pillowcase.
To avoid the need to iron easy care polyester/cotton items it is better to only dry small loads (i.e.
half fill drum) It is better to dry small and large articles together.
Fabric softeners, or similar products, should be used as specified by the fabric softener instructions.
Do not overload the dryer or dry large bulky items such as duvets or sleeping bags as it is important
that the airflow through the dryer is not obstructed.
The final part of a tumble dryer cycle occurs without heat (cool down cycle) to ensure that the
items are left at a temperature that ensures that the items will not be damaged.
Items that have been soiled with substances such as cooking oil, acetone, alcohol, petrol, kerosene,
spot removers, turpentine, waxes and wax removers should be washed in hot water with an extra
amount of detergent before being dried in the tumble dryer.
Items such as foam rubber (latex foam), shower caps, waterproof textiles, rubber backed articles
and clothes or pillows fitted with foam rubber pads should not be dried in the tumble dryer.
OPERATION
Open the door.
Load clothes loosely into the drum.
Load sheets first, starting with one corner.
Close the door.
Dry your hands.
Check that the timer is in the ‘0’position.
Plug in the machine.
Select correct heat position, (see programme chart on control panel for recommendations).
Turn the timer knob fully clockwise, then turn to the required time setting (see programme chart on
control panel for recommendations).
For energy labeling purposes (EN61121:2005) for a cotton dry load, use the maximum load weight
for cotton and set the timer to the recommended drying time for cotton dry as specified on the
control panel.
The standard cotton programme is suitable to dry normal wet cotton laundry. It is the most efficient
programme in terms of energy consumption for drying wet cotton laundry.

Your appliance is Reversing, small door opening a full load will typically take 95 minutes and will
use approximately 2.05kWh of electricity. A half load will typically take 55 minutes and will use
approximately 1.15 kWh of electricity.
The drum will begin rotating. Reversing drum models will stop periodically to rotate in the reverse
direction for a short time.
Should the clothes become dry before the cycle has finished, or if an excessive programme time has
been selected, the drum will continue to rotate while the thermostat will automatically switch the
heater off to reduce the risk of over drying and save energy.
If the door is opened during a cycle the dryer will stop. To restart your machine, close the door.
When drying large items such as sheets, we suggest you periodically stop the dryer to redistribute
the load.
To lengthen or shorten a timed programme, reset the timer knob.
There is an automatic 12 minute cool down period at the end of every cycle, during which the
heater is switched off. This helps to minimize creasing, and must always be used fully to avoid the
risk of fire.
NEVER SWITCH THE DRYER OFF AND LEAVE A HOT LOAD IN THE DRUM. RISK
OF FIRE.
ALWAYS CLEAN THE FILTER AFTER EACH USE.
Failure to do so could cause the safety cut-out to operate.
Your dryer will only function well if the machine is clean.
- The filter collects fluff which accumulates during drying and it must therefore be removed and
cleaned at the end of each programme.
- Remove any threads or fluff by hand or with a soft brush.
- Wash the filter occasionally in detergent solution using a soft brush to remove small particles.
- If your filter becomes damaged, replace it to ensure no damage is caused to the dryer.
ANY PROBLEMS

If the clothes are not dry after normal drying time:
– Check that you used the correct heat setting.
– Check that you have not set the timer within a cool down period.
– Check that the lint filter has been cleaned. A blocked filter will restrict the airflow.
– Check that your dryer is heating – the door window should feel warm to touch after the first 10-
15 minutes of its programme.
Failure to heat may indicate the safety cut-out has operated. To reset, simply press the red button at
the rear of the machine. If it has operated then a sharp “click” will be heard.
This cut-out only operates if the airflow is severely restricted so make sure the filter is clean, the air
inlets and outlets at the side and back are not blocked, and that all other restrictions are removed
before restarting.
If the cut-out continues to operate after checking the above points, you should contact your service
agent.
Check that the machine has the correct weight load in the drum before starting the appliance.
If your machine does not work check the following before calling a service engineer:-
- Check that there is a supply of electricity.
- Check that the door has been properly closed and the machine is switched on.
