should you sell this appliance or pass it on to another party, make sure that this booklet is supplied along with the
dryer so that the new owner may be informed about warnings and suggestions on how the appliance works.

Where to put your dryer
GB
In conjunction with the vent tube we recommend
using a Wall/Window Vent Kit, available at a retail
location or the nearest Spare Parts Dealer.

Place your dryer at a distance from gas ranges,
stoves, heaters, or cook tops because flames can
damage the appliance.

or walls. This is to ensure
proper air circulation. Make sure that the back
vents are not obstructed.
3. Similarly, the duct in
the wall should slope
downwards towards the
outside.
G
Make sure you put your dryer in an environment
that is not damp and has proper air circulation
throughout, the dryer will not operate efficiently in
an enclosed space or cupboard.
Window mounting
1. With a stacked dryer
the hole in the window
should ideally be made
below the vent.
! We do not recommend that the dryer is installed in a
cupboard but the dryer must never be installed
behind a lockable door, a sliding door or a door with a
hinge on the opposite side to that of the dryer door.
2. The tube should be
kept as short as possible.
Ventilation
The Dryer dries your laundry by drawing in cool, clean
and relatively dry air, heating it, and then distributing it
through the clothes as they are gently tumbled. For
optimum performance, the moist air is then blown out
through a vent tube at the back of the dryer.
When the dryer is in use, there has to be adequate
ventilation to avoid the back flow of gases into the room
from appliances burning other fuels, including open fires.
Depending on how often you use your dryer, it is
essential that areas A and B are checked periodically
to remove lint or debris.
The vent tube adaptor must be fitted securely thus
preventing any humid air from being emitted back into
the room.
! The Dryer should not be pushed so far back that the
tube adaptor is pulled out of position or the tube is
squashed or bent.
Mobile venting
! The tube should be kept clear of the air intake vent
and kinks or ‘U’ bends must be avoided as these will
obstruct the tube or trap condensation.
A vent tube must always be fitted when the dryer is
used in conjunction with Mobile Venting.
The tube must be fitted securely into the back of the
dryer (see Dryer Description). If possible, it is always
best to connect the tube to a permanent
outlet close to the dryer. If permanent installation is
not possible, the dryer will work just as well with the
tube passing through a partly-opened window.
! Ensure that the end of the tube is not directed
toward the air intake vent at the rear of the dryer.
! The vent tube should not exceed 2.4 metres in
length and should be kept free of any possible
accumulation of fluff, lint and water by shaking it out
frequently. Always ensure that the tube is not
squashed.

! If the plug being replaced is a non-rewirable type,
then the cut-off plug must be disposed of safely. DO
NOT leave it where it can be inserted into a socket
and create a shock hazard.
! The power supply cord should be checked periodically
and replaced by a cord specially prepared for this
dryer and fitted only by authorised technicians (see
Service). New or longer power cords are supplied at
an extra charge by authorised dealers.
Electrical connections
! The manufacturer denies any responsibility should
any of these rules not be followed.
! If in doubt about any of the above consult a qualified
electrician.
Make sure of the following before you insert the plug
into the the electrical socket:
G
The socket must be grounded.
G
The socket must be able to sustain the machines
maximum power, which is indicated on the rating
label (see Dryer Description).
Levelling your dryer
The dryer must be installed level for correct operation.
When you have installed your
dryer in its final location check
that it is level first side to side,
then front to back.
G
Power voltage must be within the values indicated
on the rating label (see Dryer Description).
The socket must be compatible with the dryers
plug. Should this not be the case, replace the
plug or the socket.
G
! The dryer must not be installed outdoors, even if the
space is sheltered. It can be very dangerous if it is
exposed to rain or storms.
! Once installed, the dryers electrical wire and plug
must be within easy reach.
If the dryer is not level, use a
wooden block to
support it while adjusting the two
front legs up or down, until your
dryer is level.
! Do not use extension cords.
! The power cord must not be bent or squashed.
! The power cord supplied is fitted with a BS1363 plug
and a 13 amp BS1362 fuse. If you need to replace the
fuse, use only those rated at 13 amp (13A) and ASTA
approved to BS1362.
Before you start using your dryer
Once you have installed your dryer and before you
use it, clean the inside of the drum to remove any dust
that could have accumulated during transport.

This is the programmes’ final phase. Approximately 10 minutes before the finish, the knob advances automatically to
the Cool Tumble Phase. Heating elements turn themselves off and clothing is cooled down, after this the Buzzer will
sound (if selected) and the clothing is ready to be taken out.
! Always allow the dryer to complete this phase.
Easy Iron Programme
‘Easy Iron’ is a short 10 minute programme (8 minutes of heat followed by a 2 minute cool tumble period) which
fluffs the fibres of clothing that have been left in the same position/location for an extended period of time. The cycle
relaxes the fibres and makes them easier to iron and fold.
! ‘Easy Iron’ is not a drying programme and should not be used for wet articles of clothing.
For best results:
1. Do not load more than the maximum capacity.
These numbers refer to the dry weight:
Fabric
Maximum load
Cotton and Cotton mixtures
Synthetics
2.5kg
2kg
Denim
2kg
2. Unload the dryer immediately after the end of the programme, hang, fold or iron the articles and put
them away in the closet. Should this not be possible repeat the programme.
The ‘Easy Iron’ effect varies from one fabric to the next. It works well on traditional fabrics like Cotton or Cotton mix,
and less well on acrylic fibres and on materials such as Tencel®.

Small items could also become trapped in the filter.
When finished drying, therefore, clean the filter by
rinsing it under running water or with your vacuum
cleaner. Should the filter become clogged up, the airflow
inside the dryer will be seriously compromised: drying
times lengthen and you will consume more energy. It
may also damage your dryer.

Removing the filter:
1. Pull the plastic grip of
the filter upwards (see

! Do not use solvents or abrasives.
! Your dryer uses special bearing components which
do not need lubrication.
2. Clean the filter and
replace it correctly.
Ensure the filter is fully
located flush into the
tumble dryer trim.
! Have your dryer checked regularly by authorised
technicians to ensure electrical and mechanical safety
(see Service).
! Do not use the dryer without replacing the filter..
