Your New Tumble Dryer
This tumble dryer will give your wash that soft, relaxed feel whatever
the weather.
Extremely high quality standards both during development and
manufacturing guarantee a long service life for your appliance.
Maximum economy in the operation of your dryer is achieved through
very frugal electricity consumption and short drying times.
Energy saving tips
In the interest
To save energy we recommend that you follow these
hints:
of the environment
• Materials marked with the symbol
are
• Try to load the maximum capacity of the machine
recyclable.
as small loads are uneconomical.
• Check with your local Council or Environmental
Health Office to see if there are facilities in your
area for re-cycling this appliance.
• Always load well spun laundry. The higher the spin
speed, the lower the electricity consumption and
the shorter the drying times.
• When the appliance is to be scrapped, cut off the
power supply cable and make the door closing
device unusable to prevent young children from
being trapped inside.
• Do not over-dry laundry, this avoids creasing and
saves energy.
• Clean the filters regularly to avoid excessive drying
times and high electricity consumption.
• Help to keep your country tidy - use authorised
• Ventilate the room well. The room temperature

This will help you to select the correct time for
drying.
This light illuminates when the reservoir is full or
incorrectly fitted.
2 Mains on Light
6Time Selector Dial /
On Off Switch
Around the knob there are two drying cycles, one of
up to 150 minutes at a high temperature for cotton
and linen, and one of up to 100 minutes at a low
temperature for synthetic fabrics. To set the machine
to the selected time, turn the dial clockwise until the
the knob pointer coincides exactly with the time you
want.
This lights up when the machine starts operating and
goes out when the selector dial is on position “0” and
when you open the door of the appliance or the small
door covering the condenser at the bottom.
3Low Heat Button
Press this button to reduce the temperature when
drying particularly delicate cotton or linen items.
In this case you should select a longer drying time.
NEVER attempt to turn the dial in an
anticlockwise direction.
4Start Button
Press this button to start the dryer after having
selected the programme.
When selecting the drying time you should
remember that it includes a 10 minute cooling phase
(position
on the dial).
If the door of the appliance or the small door at the
bottom is opened while the programme is running,
this button must be pressed again after closing the
door(s) in order to restart the programme from the
point at which it was interrupted.
This phase should not be shortened, stopped or
avoided, as this could cause skin burns or damages to
the laundry.
On “O” position the dryer is switched off.

Attention! Please follow the instructions on labels when drying mixed fabrics.
Drying times are given as a guide only and vary according to the size of the load, the type of laundry, the degree
of spinning prior to drying.
Start by selecting a short drying time. If necessary, perform an additional drying cycle afterwards.
Experience will soon enable you to estimate the drying time needed for your usual laundry loads. It is advisable
to take note of them.
Size of load
It is not necessary to weigh the laundry, if these instructions are followed:
• Cottons, linen: full drum, but not overloaded.
• Synthetics: half drum.
For a mixed load (cotton and synthetics, for example) select the drying time suitable for the most delicate
fabrics and then increase it by approx 10 mins.

Operating Sequence
Before using your tumble dryer for the first time, we
recommend you place a few damp cloths inside the
appliance and dry for 20 minutes.
After each use
• Clean the filters (see page 9).
There may be dust inside a brand new tumble dryer.
• Empty the water reservoir (see page 10).
Important!
Drying
If the drying programme has to be stopped before it
reaches the end, we recommend that you turn the
Time Selector Dial to position
until the end of this phase before removing the
laundry. This will avoid a build-up of heat inside the
appliance.
1. Connect the appliance.
(cooling) and wait
2. Open the door as per picture.

Hints & Tips on Drying
Before placing articles of laundry in your tumble
dryer, check the care labels to ensure they are
recommended for tumble drying.
• Always load well spun laundry. The higher the spin
speed the lower the electricity consumption and the
shorter the drying time.
• DO NOT load dripping wet laundry into the dryer.
Roll the article in a towel or spin to remove excess
water.
Care Labels you may find on your laundry
may be tumble dried
• Close poppers and zips and fasten any buttons.
normal drying (high temperature)
delicate drying (low temperature)
do not tumble dry
• Sort the laundry. Separate synthetics from
cotton/linens, and dry separately.
• Remove the laundry immediately after the
programme has finished.
• Use a fabric conditioning sheet to reduce static. We
recommend the sheet is pinned to an article of
laundry (using a safety pin).
Do not overload the appliance.
Here is a list of the approximate weight of some
common laundry items.
• Mix the load i.e. large and small articles.
• When drying large items such as sheets, we
recommend you periodically stop the dryer to
redistribute the load.

Cleaning the condenser unit
Clean the air condenser periodically, 3 or 4 times a
year depending on how frequently the dryer is used.
The condenser is situated at the lower part of the
cabinet behind a small door. To open the door, pull
forward as shown in the picture.
P1150
Cleaning the filters
Your dryer will only function well if the filters are
clean.
The filters collect all the fluff which accumulates
during drying and they must therefore be cleaned at
the end of each programme, before removing the
laundry, with a damp cloth.
P1153
To pull out the condenser, first turn the two red stops
inwards as shown and then remove the condenser
unit holding it at the handle.

Do not be alarmed by the amount of fluff. It is not
due to excessive wear caused by the dryer. All fabric
looses fluff when drying but it goes un-noticed in the
air. In a tumble dryer it simply collects in the filter.

”
will stay on for approx. 2 minutes before the
programme starts.
Important! Do not use pointed objects or utensils to
clean the spaces between the plates, as this could
damage the condenser and make it permeable.
Handy tip: The condensed water may be used in a
steam iron or to top up a battery, etc. In this case it
must be filtered (e.g. through a coffee filter).
Re-fit the condenser, turn the red stops upwards and
close the door.
Do not use this appliance if the condenser
has not been fitted.
Cleaning the air intake grille
Using a vacuum cleaner remove the fluff from the air
intake grille at the back of the appliance.
Emptying the water reservoir
Water extracted from the laundry condenses inside
the machine and is collected in a reservoir.
The reservoir must be emptied after each drying
cycle to ensure efficient operation when the machine
is next used.
Proceed as follows:
P1162
• Pull out the reservoir
• Turn it upside down and let water flow down
• Re-fit the reservoir
P1157
P1156
The reservoir must be re-inserted correctly.

WARNING: THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE
EARTHED.
To keep vibration and noise to a minimum when the
dryer is in use, it should be placed on a firm, level
surface.
Once in its permanent operating position, check that
the dryer is absolutely level with the aid of a spirit
level. If it is not, raise or lower the feet until it is.
The manufacturer declines any liability
should this safety measure not be observed.
Should the appliance power supply cable
need to be replaced, this should be carried
out by our Service Centre.
The feet must never be removed.
Do not restrict the floor clearance through deep-
pile carpets, strips of wood or similar. This might
cause heat build-up which would interfere with
the operation of the appliance.
Before switching on, make sure the electricity supply
voltage is the same as that indicated on the
appliance’s rating plate. (See picture on page 4).
The appliance is supplied with a 13amp plug fitted.
In the event of having to change the fuse in the plug
supplied, a 13amp ASTA approved (BS 1363/A) fuse
must be used.
Important
The hot air emitted by the tumble dryer can reach
temperatures of up to 60°C. The appliance must
therefore not be installed on floors which are not
resistant to high temperatures.
When operating the tumble dryer, the room temperature
must not be lower than +5°C and higher than +35°C, as
it may affect the performance of the appliance.
