WARNINGS
It is most important that this instruction book
should be retained with the appliance for future
reference. Should the appliance be sold or trans-
ferred to another owner, or should you move
house and leave the appliance, always ensure that
the book is supplied with the appliance in order
that the new owner can get to know the function-
ing of the appliance and the relevant warnings.
SERVICE/REPAIR
I
Under no circumstances should you attempt to
repair the machine yourself. Repairs carried out by
inexperienced persons may cause injury or serious
malfunctioning. Refer to your local Tricity Bendix
Service Centre. Always insist on genuine Tricity
Bendix spare parts.
These warnings have been provided in the interest
of safety. You MUST read them carefully before
installing or using the appliance.
GENERAL SAFETY
I
It is dangerous to modify or try to modify the speci-
fications of this appliance in any way.
I
This appliance is designed to be used by adults.
Children should not be allowed to touch the con-
trols or play with the product.
INSTALLATION
I
Any electrical work required to install this appliance
should be carried out by a qualified electrician or
competent person.
I
Pets and small children may climb into tumble dry-
ers. Check your appliance each time before use.
I
I
Make sure that the appliance does not stand on its
electrical supply cable.
ENVIRONMENT PROTECTION
If the machine is situated on a carpeted floor,
please adjust the feet in order to allow air to circu-
late freely.
I
The materials used on this appliance marked with
the symbol are recyclable.
This means that they can be recycled by disposing
of them properly in appropriate collection contain-
ers.
I
This tumble dryer is designed to be vented through
to the open air. It should have its own ventilation
system which should not be joined with any other
ventilation system connected to any other appli-
ance.
I
If you take your appliance to a refuse disposal
site, cut off the power cable flush with the appli-
ance to avoid the danger of the appliance being re-
used, and disable the door catch to prevent chil-
dren becoming trapped inside.
USE
I
Always unplug the appliance after use.
I
Clothes which are dripping wet should not be
placed in the dryer.
Always load well spun laundry. The higher the
spin speed, the lower the electricity consumption
and the shorter the drying times.
I
Never tumble dry items that have been in contact
with chemicals such as dry cleaning fluid. These
are of a volatile nature and could cause an explo-
sion.
I
As some bulky items such as duvets and eider-
downs should be dried in large commercial
machines because of their bulk, check with the
manufacturer of the item if it is suitable for drying in
a domestic machine, even if the dry weight of the
item is within the limit advised.
I
I
Always check that no cigarette lighters have been
left in pockets.
Leave the porthole door slightly ajar when not in
use to preserve the door seal.
I
I
The fluff filter must be cleaned after every use.
Do not operate the appliance with a damaged filter
as this may cause a fire.
I
I
Do not overload the appliance.
Do not allow fluff to accumulate around the dryer.

INSTALLATION
Problems can be encountered in rooms fitted with a
very powerful central extractor fan. If you find that dry-
ing times are too long, switch off the extractor or close
its grille whilst the tumble dryer is in use.
Positioning
The appliance may be placed in any room, provided
the following precautions are taken.
The appliance expels hot, very moist air. The rest of
the house must be able to easily absorb this moisture.
Normally, absorption is only possible in houses where
there is very little humidity. Otherwise, the room must
have ventilation towards the outside; generally, an
open door or window is enough.
A highly effective solution is to simply poke the vent
hose through a window or skylight. This might how-
ever cause problems in winter because the dryer will
draw in very cold (and often also very damp) air
through the open window, so increasing drying times
and leading to very high energy consumption.
The capacity of the venting circuit must be at least
150 m3/hour. Check that the air inlet and outlet vents
are unobstructed.
If the dryer is fitted next to kitchen units, make
sure that the vent hose is not squashed. If the
hose is partially squashed, drying efficiency wlll
be reduced, resulting in longer drying times and
higher energy consumption.
The best way of evacuating the moisture is through a
vent hose to the outside of the building. Use the spe-
cial 100 mm diameter flexible hose supplied with the
appliance connected to one of the air outlet vents with
the collar supplied.
If the hose is completely squashed, the safety cut-
outs with which the machine is fitted may operate.
The unused outlets must be covered.
Never connect the air vent hose into an existing dis-
charge pipe or duct, as this could be dangerous, might
disturb neighbours and could cause the dryer to mal-
function.
Condensation discharge through the vent
hose
Condensation may be discharged either through a
vent outlet provided at the back or through the left or
right side outlet.
This product is supplied with a 2.50 metre vent
hose, although the maximum length of the vent
hose may be:
4 metres with no bends, or
2 metres with 2 bends.
The vent hose collar is placed in the rear vent outlet.
Remove the collar by
pulling it out of the vent
outlet. Screw the collar to
the vent hose.
Fit the hose into the
required vent outlet, and
place vent covers provid-
ed over the unused out-
Advice: If the hose is long and the room temperature
low, the moisture might condense to water inside the
hose. This is an unavoidable natural phenomenon.
To prevent this water from Iying in the hose or flowing
back into the tumble dryer, it is advisable to drill a
small hole (dia. 3 mm) in the lowest point of the hose
and to place a small container below it.(See picture,
point A).
lets.
P0330
The vent hose must not
contain more than two
bends when it is placed in
position for operation.
A
P0751
A
P0279
Connect the other end of the hose to an opening in a
door or window. Fit a suitable shield or point the hose
downwards to prevent any rain water and wind from
getting in.
Rain and wind shields for placing over openings usu-
ally consist of valves or movable flaps. Periodically
check the shield since strong winds and other factors
(rust, dirt) can sometimes prevent it from opening, so
causing problems with air venting.
You should NOT con-
nect the flexible vent
hose to, for example, a
chimney or flue pipe
designed to carry the
exhaust from a fuel burn-
ing heating appliance.
If you use a rain shield, check that the openings in it
are large enough to allow air to escape. Openings
which are too small restrict the flow of air.

means of an adaptor. Have an extra socket installed if
necessary, by a qualified electrician.
Electrical Connections
WARNING:THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED.
The manufacturer declines any liability should this
safety measure not be observed.
Note
If the plug that is fitted to your appliance is not suitable
for your socket outlet, it must be cut off, and the
appropriate plug fitted.
Installation, and, in particular, connection to the elec-
tric mains and to the discharge vent must be carried
out by a competent person or qualified electricians.
Remove the fuse from the cut off plug. The cut off
plug should then be disposed of to prevent the hazard
of electric shocks, in case it should be plugged into a
13 Amp socket in another part of your home.
Please ensure that when the appliance is installed it is
easily accessible for the engineer, in the event of a
breakdown.
IMPORTANT

USE OF CONTROLS
1 Programme Chart
4 Mains-On Light
This lights up when the machine starts operating and
goes out at the end of the programme.
This will help you to select the correct time for drying.
5 Drying Time Selector Dial
The selector dial incorporates two drying cycles, one
of up to 120 minutes at a high temperature (dark
green section) for cotton and linen, and one of up to
80 minutes at a low temperature (light green section)
for synthetic fabrics.
2 Half Heat Button
Press this button to reduce the temperature when dry-
ing particularly delicate cotton or linen items.
In this case you should select a longer drying time.
On the programmes for synthetics the temperature is
automatically reduced.
To set the machine to the selected time, turn the dial
clockwise until the time you want coincides exactly
with the pointer.
Therefore it is not necessary to depress this button.
NEVER attempt to turn the dial in an anticlockwise
direction.
3 Fresh & Cool Button
By depressing this button the heat is cut off. This is
particularly useful to freshen the laundry (e.g. to
remove a persistent odour of moth-balls).
When selecting the drying time, you should remember
that it includes a 8 minute cooling phase (position
on the dial).
This phase should not be shortened, stopped or
avoided, as this could cause skin burns or damages
to the laundry.
Additional drying
If at the end of the programme the laundry is still too
damp, set the dial for a further period of drying
(remembering to take into account the cooling period).

1) Never overfill the drum (do not load large quilts, for example).
The laundry must be suitably spin dried in your washing machine before being placed in the tumble dryer (500rpm
minimum).
Drying times vary according to:
- The type of laundry
- The size of the load
- The degree of spinning prior to drying
Drying times are given as a guide only. Experience will soon enable you to estimate the drying time needed for
your usual laundry loads.
Do not start by selecting a long drying time. It is better to determine the required degree of dryness by gradually
increasing the drying time.
For a mixed load (cotton and resistant synthetics, for example) select the time for the most delicate fibres and
increase it by 10 mins.

I
Close pillowcases and covers with fasteners to
prevent small laundry items getting tangled inside
them. Close press studs, zips and hooks and tie
belts and apron strings.
4. When drying is completed
I
I
Sort laundry according to type and degree of dry-
ing required.
The machine stops automatically, the mains-on light
goes out.
Do not over-dry laundry, this avoids creasing and
saves energy.
If the laundry is still too damp, select a further brief
drying time, bearing in mind that during the last 8 min-
utes the dryer carries out the cooling and anti-crease
treatment phase.
I
I
I
Avoid drying dark clothes with light coloured fluffy
items such as towels as they could attract the fluff.
When the programme has finished you are advised to
unplug the appliance.
Remove the laundry when the dryer has finished
drying.
Clean the filter after every drying programme. A
clean filter ensures correct functioning of the
appliance.
To avoid a static charge when drying is completed,
use either a fabric softener when you are washing
the laundry or a fabric conditioner specifically for
tumble dryers.
Laundry Shrinkage
Certain fabrics such as woollens and silks are gener-
ally not suitable for tumble drying. Due to the structure
of some woollen garments which are recommended
for tumble drying, shrinking could still occur, but once
the garment is worn again, it should regain its shape.
Starched Laundry
Starched laundry can also be dried in the tumble
dryer. Make sure that the time selected is for iron dry.
After completion of the programme wipe out the drum
with a damp cloth and dry to remove any traces of
starch.

MAINTENANCE
Important
Cleaning the filter
You must disconnect the appliance from the electrici-
ty supply, before you can carry out any cleaning or
maintenance work.
Your dryer will only func-
tion well if the filter is
clean.
The filter collects all the
«fluff» which accumu-
lates during drying and it
must therefore be
cleaned at the end of
each programme with a
damp cloth.
External cleaning
Use only soap and water and then dry thoroughly.
From time to time, apply a little wax furniture cream
with a soft cloth.
P0767
Important: do not use methylated spirit, diluents or
similar products.
The filter cannot be removed.
It is perfectly normal for fluff to accumulate in the filter
during drying. In fact, even fabrics dried in the open
air lose their fibres, but we do not notice it.
Cleaning the door
Clean periodically the
interior part of the door to
remove any fluff.
Accurate cleaning en-
sures correct drying.
