ensure that the sides have a space available to allow airflow.
–The special mains cable and plug assembly must only be
replaced with a genuine part by the manufacturer or his service
agents in order to avoid a hazard.

-It is important to clean fluff from the window of the dryer and
around the door seal after each drying cycle. Failure to do so
could result in water leaking.
- Fabric softeners, or similar products, should be used as
specified by the fabric softener instructions.
WARNING: Never stop a tumble dryer before the end of a
drying cycle unless all items are quickly removed and spread
out so that heat is dissipated.
- 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.

is accessible.

INSTALLATION
The tumble dryer is fully compatible with any 600mm deep kitchen units and complies with stringent EEC
regulations.
Your dryer is provided with a vent hose which will extend to approx 2.4m (8ft). 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.
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 adjacent side panel to a relevant
position. The plinth must be cut-out to accommodate
the air vent grill at the bottom front of the tumble dryer.
IMPORTANT
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.
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.
The dryer should not be placed directly next to ovens or cookers, as the performance of the dryer may be affected.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS: We strongly recommend that any electrical work is carried out by a qualified
person complying with the IEE 17th addition of the electrical regulations.
IMPORTANT
Please remember that the tumble dryer must be capable of being switched off, (disconnected from the supply),
when fitted in position

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 fabric loses fluff when drying but it goes unnoticed into the air. In
a tumble dryer it simply collects in the filter.
CONTROL PANEL GUIDE
1. The Timer Select the drying time from the recommendations shown on the
control panel (3). Turn the timer knob clockwise for required drying time.
2. Heat Setting Select half or full heat as recommended on the control
panel.
3. Control Panel See below
4. Start - Press the start button after selecting the required drying time.

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.
Open the door.
Load clothes loosely into the drum.
Load sheets first starting with one corner.
Close the door.
Dry your hands.
Check the timer is in the’0’ position.
Switch on the machine at the socket.
Select correct heat position (See programme chart on facia 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 a reversing, small door opening. A full load will typically take 130 minutes and will use
approximately 4.48kWh of electricity. A half load will typically take 75 minutes and will use approximately 2.32
kWh of electricity.
Set the timer to the correct position (See programme chart on facia panel).
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.
Press the 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 overdrying and save energy although the drum will still rotate.
When drying large items such as sheets, we suggest you periodically stop the dryer to redistribute the load, and
restart it immediately afterwards
To stop the machine during the middle of a programme simply open the door: the drum will stop rotating
automatically. To re start, close the door and press the start button.
To lengthen or shorten the programme, turn the timer knob.
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.
After removing the dried clothes clean the filter as follows:
Pull the filter upwards.
Remove any thread or fluff by hand or with a soft brush.
Slide the filter back.
Wash the filter occasionally in detergent solution and with a soft brush remove small particles.
Switch off the electricity supply.

DON’TS….
Do not – Overload the dryer.
Do not – Dry articles singly as they tend to roll up and so increase drying time.
Do not – Dry woolen or wool mixture articles unless the article is labeled as suitable. This should avoid shrinkage.
Do not – Allow venting hose (where applicable) or filter to become blocked.
Do not – Allow fluff to accumulate around the tumble dryer.
NEVER SWITCH THE DRYER OFF AND LEAVE A HOT LOAD IN THE DRUM – RISK OF FIRE.

CUSTOMER ADVICE – BEFORE CALLING FOR ASSISTANCE
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 - below the door to the left side, should feel warm to the 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 re-starting.
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.
- Check the fuse in the moulded plug.
A call out charge will be applied for a service visit, if the call could have been
avoided by following these instructions.
ESSENTIAL CONTACT INFORMATION FOR “IN GUARANTEE” AND
“OUT OF GUARANTEE” REPAIRS.
If problems continue after checking the above points you should contact our service
agent. Please ensure that you have your serial number and model number to hand
when you make the call. To locate the serial number on your dryer, open the door and
look for a white label inside the door opening. This will indicate the appliance model
number along with the serial number.
