placed directly next to ovens, cookers or other heating
appliances as the performance of the dryer may be
affected.
–Any electrical work required to install the appliance
should be carried out by a qualified person.
–The tumble dryer is not to be used if industrial chemicals
have been used for cleaning.
–It is important to clean the lint filter after each drying
cycle and the heat exchanger every month or the
restrictions to airflow will extend drying times and could
cause the safety cut-out to trip.
–DO NOT allow lint to accumulate around the tumble
dryer - risk of fire

–Adequate ventilation has to be provided to avoid the
back flow of gases into the room from appliances
burning other fuels, including open fires.
–DO NOT dry unwashed items in the tumble dryer.
–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.
–Fabric softeners, or similar products, should be used as
specified by the fabric softener instructions.
–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.
–Remove all objects from pockets such as lighters and
matches.
–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.
–A carpet must not obstruct the ventilation openings in
the base of the dryer.
–Exhaust air must not be discharged into a flue which is
used for exhausting fumes from appliances burning gas
or other fuels.

–The appliance must not be installed behind a lockable
door, a sliding door or a door with a hinge on the
opposite side to that of the tumble dryer, in such a way
that a full opening of the tumble dryer door is restricted.
–Do not stack the tumble dryer on top of other appliances.
–This appliance can be used by children aged from 8
years and above and persons with reduced physical,
sensory or mental capabilities or lack of experience and
knowledge if they have been given supervision or
instruction concerning use of the appliance in a safe way
and understand the hazards involved. Children shall not
play with the appliance. Cleaning and user maintenance
shall not be made by children without supervision.
Children of less than 3 years should be kept away from
the appliance unless continuously supervised.
–The rear of the dryer gets quite hot during use. Position
the dryer so that the back is not accessible while in
operation, but ensure that the sides have a space
available to allow airflow.
–Under no circumstances should anything other than the
recommended articles be placed in the tumble dryer.
–The tumble dryer should be serviced by an appointed
service organisation and only genuine parts used.
–It is dangerous to alter or modify the product in any way
other than fitting authorized accessories.
–We recommend that the appliance is unplugged each
time after use. It should always be disconnected from the
electricity supply during long periods of inactivity (i.e.
weekends, holidays etc.)

–The special mains cable and plug assembly must only be
replaced with a genuine part from the manufacturer or
our appointed service agent.
–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.

dryer must be connected to its own socket.
–DO NOT block the air inlets at the front, base or rear of
your dryer.
–DO NOT exceed the recommended maximum load.
–DO NOT place articles in the dryer if anything other
than a water solution has been used in the cleaning
process.
–DO NOT attempt to dry dripping wet articles.
–DO NOT use the tumble dryer if you suspect that it is
damaged in any way. Under no circumstances should
you attempt to repair the appliance yourself. Repairs
carried out by inexperienced persons may cause serious
injury. Consult your local appointed service engineer
and insist on genuine spare parts.
–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 easycare 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.

–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.
–To avoid uneven drying, it is recommended to remove
large items (e.g. duvet covers) part way through the
drying cycle and redistribute the load.
–Your appliance is fitted with a sensing system that will
periodically adjust the time remaining displayed
dependant on the moisture remaining in the load. Please
note that the drying time quoted by the appliance at the
start of the drying cycle will default to the time taken to
dry the maximum load weight for that particular
programme.
–Should the final dryness of the load for a particular
programme not be to your satisfaction, please select
either a damper or drier setting.

PACKAGING
Caution! Before using the appliance ensure that all items have been removed from inside the
drum.
Polystyrene packing piece
During transit the drum is secured with
adhesive tape and 2 polystyrene packing
pieces.
These must be removed from inside the drum
before the appliance is used.

DRAINAGE OPTIONS
Your new appliance as delivered is setup such that the condensed water generated during
drying is pumped into the water bottle. The bottle will then require emptying at the end of every
drying cycle.
Alternatively, the appliance can be converted to allow the condensed water to be pumped to
your household waste pipe. Connecting your dryer to a household waste pipe will mean you
will not need to empty the water bottle:
1 - Remove the blue integral drain hose from the connector, at the left rear of the dryer. A pair
of long nosed pliers may be required to remove the hose.
2 - Attach the condensing drain hose.
3 - Locate the drain hose into a wash basin, sink or waste pipe.
4 - To return the dryer to pump the condensed water into the water bottle, simply remove the
condensing drain hose and re-attach the integral drain hose as per points 1 and 2 above.

DRYER INSTALLATION
Position the tumble dryer so that the plug remains accessible after installation. Do not block the
vents at the front, rear or base 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.
The tumble dryer requires a minimum width of 600mm in order to be installed. If a waste pipe
and trap are behind the appliance, they must not obstruct the air inlet at the back of the dryer.
If the waste pipe is used by the dryer and a washing machine then its diameter must be large
enough to contain both hoses - 1.5" bore (38mm) minimum.
If the floor is uneven the machine will need to be levelled by adjusting the feet of the machine.
These can be twisted to raise and lower the appliance.
CAUTION: Check that the heat exchanger is installed and locked in place.
FILTER INSTALLATION
LOAD PREPARATION
Check care labels inside the garments to ensure that they are suitable for the appliance:
NEVER SWITCH THE DRYER OFF AND LEAVE A HOT LOAD IN THE DRUM DUE
TO THE RISK OF FIRE.
The dryer has 2 fluff filters, one in the door and one
in the door opening.
Push the filters into their operating positions as
shown in the diagram. The filter in the door will
only fit one way. 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.
Suitable for tumble drying
Tumble dry using full heat
Tumble dry low heat
Do not tumble dry

CLEANING THE FILTER
ALWAYS CLEAN THE FILTERS AFTER EACH USE. Failure to do so could cause the
safety cut-out to operate.
EMPTYING THE WATER BOTTLE
To clean the filter located in the door, slide the filter
upwards and away from the appliance.
Remove any threads or fluff from the filter by hand
or with a soft brush.
Remove any fluff inside the filter housing.
Ensure that the filter is the right way round and slide
back into the door.
–Pull the bottle out from the dryer and empty at the end of
the drying cycle.
–WARNING: Ensure that the bottle is kept level and the
rear supported as it is removed from the dryer in order to
prevent water leaking from the water in-feed hole at the
rear of the bottle.
–Replace the bottle ensuring that it is pushed all the way
in.
–If the dryer is connected to a drain there is no need to
empty the bottle but it must be correctly fitted to the
machine.
–WARNING: Empty the water container after each use.
The drying cycle will pause and the icon light if the
bottle is full during the drying process. After the bottle
has been emptied, the dryer can be restarted by pressing
the Start/Pause button.
–WARNING: Do not drink the condensed water
To remove the filter in the door opening, lift out the filter using the slots at either end.
Remove any threads or fluff from the filter by hand or with a soft brush.
Refit the cleaned filter into the door opening.
Wash the filters occasionally in detergent solution using a soft brush to remove small particles.
Ensure that the filter is fully dry before next use.
If your filter becomes damaged, replace it to ensure no damage is caused to the dryer

CLEANING THE HEAT EXCHANGER
IMPORTANT:
- Ensure all lint and fluff is removed from around the seals before closing or water may leak.
