Where to put and vent your dryer  
Your Tumble Dryer should NOT be located adjacent to a gas hob  
cooker, heater, or eye level grill as flames from the burners could  
cause damage to your machine. When the dryer is fitted under a  
work surface allow space for air to enter the rear grille, 10mm above  
the dryer minimum.  
If you are using this Dryer adjacent or stacked on top of a washing  
machine SEPARATE mains plugs and sockets must be used for  
each appliance. DO NOT use 2-way adaptors or extension leads.  
Ventilation  
The Dryer dries your washing by drawing in air that is cool, clean  
and relatively dry, heating it and then blowing it through the clothes  
as they are gently tumbled. The moisture laden air is then blown out  
at the back of the dryer through the vent hose which is  
recommended for optimum performance.  
When operating the dryer, there has to be adequate ventilation to  
avoid the back flow of gases into the room from appliances burning  
other fuels, including open fires.  
Mobile Venting  
A vent hose must always be fitted when the dryer is used in  
conjunction with Mobile Venting.  
The hose must be fitted securely into the back of the dryer (see  
diagram on previous page). If possible, it is always best to connect  
the hose to a permanent outlet close to the dryer (see instructions  
below).  
Ensure that the end of the hose is not directed towards the air  
intake grille at the rear of the dryer.  
If permanent installation is not possible, the dryer will work just as  
well with the hose passed through a partly-opened window.  
NOTE: The vent hose should not exceed 2.4 metres in length  
and should be kept free of any possible accumulation of fluff,  
lint (and water) by frequently shaking it out. Always ensure that  
the hose is not squashed.

Where to put and vent your dryer  
Permanent  
Venting  
In conjunction with the vent hose we recommend the use of a  
Wall/Window Vent Kit. These are available from your retailer or  
nearest Spares Centre.  
Wall/Window  
Venting  
Fitting instructions are supplied with the kits, which can be mounted  
through a wall or window. Details of positioning for wall mounting  
are as follows:- Break a hole through the wall to the left of the  
proposed position for the dryer. Keep the hose as short and straight  
as possible to prevent condensed moisture running back into the  
dryer. Similarly the duct inserted into the wall should slope  
downwards to the outside. For window venting with stacked dryer,  
the hole in the window should ideally be made below the outlet and  
the hose should be kept as short as possible.  
Depending on the frequency of use, it is essential that the areas  
A
B
A and B in the illustrations are checked periodically and any fluff  
or debris removed.  
It is particularly important that the vent hose adaptor is fitted  
securely thus preventing any moisture laden air from being  
emitted back into the room.  
NOTE: The dryer should not be pushed so far back that the  
hose adaptor is pulled out of position or the hose squashed.  
The hose should be kept clear of the air intake grille and kinks  
or ‘U’ bends avoided as these will obstruct the hose or trap  
condensation.  
Storm cover  
WARNING:  
1. ENSURE THAT THE DRYER IS ADEQUATELY  
VENTILATED AND THAT THE END OF THE VENT HOSE  
IS NOT DIRECTED TOWARDS THE AIR INTAKE DUCT.  
2. THE DRYER MUST NOT RECYCLE EXHAUST AIR.  
3. THE VENT HOSE MUST ALWAYS BE FITTED FOR  
OPTIMUM PERFORMANCE.  
4. MAKE SURE THAT THE VENT HOSE AND AIR INTAKE  
GRILLES ARE NOT OBSTRUCTED OR BLOCKED.  
5. MISUSE OF A TUMBLE DRYER MAY CREATE A FIRE  
HAZARD.  
6. DO NOT DISCHARGE THE EXHAUST AIR INTO A FLUE  
WHICH IS USED FOR EXHAUSTING FUMES FROM  
OTHER APPLIANCES BURNING GAS OR OTHER FUELS.  
For open window venting it must be possible for the end of the hose  
to be directed downwards to prevent warm, moist air condensing in  
the room or in the dryer.

Sorting your laundry  
1. Always separate laundry into the correct fabric groups before  
washing and drying.  
2. See that all zips are closed, hooks and eyes are fastened and  
belt, strings etc. are tied loosely in bows, you will normally have  
done this for each item before the washing stage.  
3. It is important to extract as much water as possible from each  
item before drying. This saves you time and money.  
WARNING: CLOTHES SHOULD NEVER BE LOADED  
DRIPPING WET  
4. Make sure that the items to be dried are suitable for tumble  
drying, or are not of a type requiring ‘special attention’ (see“Wash  
Care Labels” section).  
Maximum  
load size  
Your dryer will hold a load of 5kg (11lb) dry weight of natural fabrics.  
if you are drying items of man-made fibres (synthetic or acrylics), the  
maximum load should not exceed 3kg (6.6lb) dry weight.  
This difference is that man-made fibres require more space to  
tumble-dry without creasing.  
WARNING: DO NOT OVERLOAD AS THIS COULD RESULT IN  
REDUCED DRYING PERFORMANCE AND A POSSIBLE FIRE  
HAZARD.  
Typical load  
To help you estimate how many items it takes to make up a drying  
load, the charts below show the approximate weights of some  
everyday washing items.

Wash Care Labels  
Most of today’s fabrics can be tumble dried in your Dryer with no  
trouble at all, but there are certain fabric finishes which should be  
dried away from direct heat.  
The majority of garments now have wash-care labels on them, giving  
full washing and drying instructions. These should always be followed  
carefully especially when you are drying something for the first time.  
Typical symbols are:  
May be tumble dried  
Do not tumble dry  
Or:  
Tumble dry at high heat setting  
Tumble dry at low heat setting  
Items not suitable for tumble drying  
Those containing foam rubber or rubber-like materials or plastic  
film (e.g. pillows, cushions, PVC rainwear), or any other articles  
which are inflammable or contain inflammable substances (e.g.  
towels contaminated with hair lacquer  
Fibreglass (e.g. some types of curtains)  
Items which have been dry cleaned  
Woollens. Woollen items need as much care in drying as they do  
in washing. The movement of the tumble-drying action causes the  
woollen fibre to shrink and distort.  
Garments with the ITCL Code (see ‘Items Requiring Special  
Attention’).  
Do not tumble dry.  
Large bulky items e.g. continental quilts, sleeping bags, pillows,  
cushions, double blankets and large bedspreads. These expand  
when drying and would prevent airflow through the Dryer.  
WARNING: THE DRYER IS INTENDED FOR USE ONLY  
WHERE WATER SOLUTION IS USED FOR THE CLEANING  
PROCESS. MISUSE OF A TUMBLE DRYER MAY CREATE A  
FIRE HAZARD.

Items requiring special attention  
Blankets and  
Bedspreads  
The drying requirements of blankets and bedspreads will, of course,  
vary tremendously according to size and weight. Some, however are  
simply too big. if you have difficulty getting them into the Dryer, the  
machine will have difficulty drying them properly. Blankets (and  
Garments) made from Acrylic fibres (e.g. Acilan, Courtelle, Orion and  
Dralon) must be dried with special care on Low heat setting.  
Overdrying should be avoided to ensure heat creasing does not  
occur.  
Permanently  
Your dryer will cope with such clothes very well, but you should  
pleated or creased always read the manufacturer’s drying instructions attached to the  
garments  
garment before you begin.  
Starched articles Starched articles should be dried together in the same load to avoid  
the distribution of starch to non-starched items. You should use a  
slightly heavier starch solution than you would when drying the items  
on the washing line. Make sure that as much of the solution is  
removed from the load as possible before placing it in the Dryer.  
Remove the items from the dryer as soon as they reach ironing  
dampness. If they are overdried the starch will powder, leaving the  
fabric limp - which rather defeats the purpose of the exercise!  
Fabric conditioner To make sure all your tumble dried clothes come out really fresh and  
soft we recommend you use a liquid fabric conditioner in the final  
rinse of your wash. A liquid fabric conditioner restores bounce and  
softness and helps eliminate static cling.  
WARNING: ON NO ACCOUNT SHOULD LIQUID OR SHEET  
FABRIC CONDITIONER BE ADDED TO THE DRYER ITSELF.  
Home dry cleaning Garments with the ITCL code  
may be cleaned using one of the  
Home Dry Cleaning Kits available.  
The instructions supplied with the Home Dry Cleaning Kit must be  
strictly followed.

How to remove and clean the fluff filter  
A very important part of your dryer is the fluff filter at  
Position of filter  
the front edge of the drum. It’s there to trap the  
particles of lint and fluff which are normally blown away  
when clothes are dried on the washing-line.  
if the filter is allowed to become blocked, the passage  
of warm air through the drum will be severely  
restricted. This means your clothes will take much  
longer than normal to dry and the cost of drying them  
will be increased. it may also damage your dryer.  
Small items, e.g. babies socks, may fall onto the filter.  
These should be removed so that the filter is not  
restricted.  
WARNING: DO NOT OPERATE THE DRYER  
WITHOUT CLEANING THE FILTER AFTER  
EACH DRYING CYCLE. FAILURE TO CLEAN  
THE FILTER MAY RESULT IN A FIRE HAZARD.  
WARNING: NEVER USE SHEET  
FABRIC CONDITIONER. IT MAY FALL  
INTO THE FILTER AND RESTRICT THE  
AIRFLOW THROUGH THE DRYER  
Grip the centre rib and pull the filter upwards and  
forwards through the door seal (see diagram).  
Open the filter, and remove the fluff that has collected  
on the inside.  
To remove the filter  
Wash or vacuum clean the filter occasionally.  
Don’t be alarmed by the amount of fluff you may find on  
the filter. It’s part of the wearing, washing and drying  
process.  
WARNING: DO NOT OPERATE THE DRYER  
WITHOUT THE FILTER IN POSITION.  
It is essential that the filter is replaced correctly. It must  
be fitted so that the symbols, shown on the filter above,  
face towards the front of the dryer. Ensure the filter is  
fully located into the tumble dryer duct.

Guide to Drying Times  
Please note that the Drying Times stated below and on appliance  
control panel are a GUIDE only and drying times are affected by:  
The amount of  
Items such as towelling retain a lot of water after spinning, also the  
water remaining in suggested wash programme for small items such as T-Shirts may  
the clothes after  
spinning  
sometimes incorporate a low spin speed which has the same effect.  
The type of fabric Your drying load may contain the same type of fabric but of different  
thicknesses. Thinner items will take less time to dry. Some fabrics,  
such as those used for jeans are of closer texture than others and  
although light when dry will be heavy after washing and spinning.  
The quantity of  
Single items of clothes or small loads may take disproportionally  
clothes to be dried longer to dry. It is more energy efficient to dry larger loads.  
How dry you want As it takes longer to fully dry clothes than to have them ready for  
the clothes  
ironing, you may wish to remove some clothes when they are slightly  
damp, ready for ironing and then continue to dry the remainder until  
they are fully dry.  
The heat setting  
The label on the garment should tell you the correct heat setting to  
you have selected select. See ‘Wash Care Labels’.  
The temperature  
of the room  
If the room in which the dryer is situated is cold, your clothes will take  
longer to dry than if the room is warm.  
Bulky items  
Some bulky items such as padded jackets can be dried, with care,  
and we do advise that you remove these items several times, shake  
them and return them to the dryer. THERE ARE HOWEVER SOME  
ITEMS THAT WE DO NOT ADVISE YOU TO DRY. SEE ‘ITEMS NOT  
SUITABLE FOR TUMBLE DRYING’

Be careful not to  
overdry  
All fabrics contain a little natural moisture even when ‘dry’ and this  
natural moisture should not be lost if the clothes are to remain soft  
and fluffy. Clothes that are dried for too long tend to wrinkle and will  
need more ironing than usual giving you extra work that the dryer  
was designed to remove.

Caring for your Dryer  
Your tumble dryer needs very little attention. The following simple  
steps will keep it performing well.  
When finished  
After each load  
Switch off electricity and remove plug.  
Always clean the filter and turn the drum by hand to check that small  
items like handkerchiefs do not get missed.  
As necessary  
Clean exterior metal and plastic surfaces with a damp cloth or silicon  
polish only. Regularly check and clean if necessary, the vent hose and  
any permanent venting fixture to ensure that there has been no accu-  
mulation of fluff or lint during the drying process.  
Clean fluff from the area below the fluff filter and the rear vent tube.  
Do not use abrasive cleaners, scouring agents, acids, chlorine  
bleach or metal polish to clean any part of the machine. These could  
damage the machine.  
Lubrication  
Your tumble dryer uses special bearing components. Lubrication by  
the user is not necessary and must not be attempted.  
We strongly recommend that all appliances are regularly checked for  
electrical and mechanical safety.
