! 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.  
! 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.  
15mm space between the  
sides and lateral furnishings or  
walls.  
This is to ensure proper air circulation.  
! Make sure that the back vents are not obstructed.  
Ventilation  
When the dryer is in use, there has to be adequate  
ventilation. Make sure you put your dryer in an  
environment that is not damp and has proper air  
circulation throughout. Airflow around the dryer is  
essential to condense the water produced during the  
washing, the dryer will not operate efficiently in an  
enclosed space or cupboard.  
! If using the dryer in a small or cold room some  
condensation could be experienced.  
! 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.  
Moulded plug  
! The plug must not be used without  
the fuse cover in place.  
If a replacement fuse holder/cover is  
required, it must be of the same  
colour coding or wording as shown  
on the base of the plug.  
Replacements are available from  
authorised dealers.  
Changing the plug  
The wires in the power cord are coloured in accordance with the  
following:  
Door Reversal Instructions  
Green and Yellow  
(Earth) wire to terminal  
marked ‘E’, symbol  
or coloured green and  
yellow.  
Door catch  
Hinge  
,
13A ASTA approved  
fuse to BS1362.  
Blue (Neutral) wire to  
terminal marked ‘N’ or  
coloured black.  
Door latch  
Brown (Live) wire to  
terminal marked ‘L’  
or coloured red.  
Cord clamp  
! 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.  
Hinge  
The door of your dryer is reversible and can easily be  
changed. Exchange diagonally hinge brackets and  
blanking screws. Exchange door latch and catch with  
their opposite blanking plates (see diagram above).  
! 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.  
! 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.  
Water drain  
If your dryer is installed next to a drain the water can be  
plumbed into this drain. This does away with the need to  
empty the water container. Simply remove the top hose  
from its top fitting at the rear of the dryer and plumb  
the hose provided to the drain.  
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.

starch will become powdery and leave your clothing  
limp, which defeats the purpose of starch.

and during all maintenance operations.  
Pull the container out of the dryer and empty it into a  
sink or other suitable drain.  
o
tan  
Replace the water container securely.  
Always check and empty the container before you  
start a new drying programme.  
Clean the filter after each cycle  
The filter is an important part of your dryer:  
it accumulates lint and fluff that is formed while drying.  
When finished drying, 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.  
I
Cleaning the condenser unit  
Periodically (every month) remove the condenser unit  
and clean any build up of fluff from between the plates  
by rinsing it under the tap with cold water. This should  
be done with cold water from the rear of the  
condenser.  
The filter is found in front of the dryer trim (see diagram).  
Removing the filter:  
1. Pull the plastic grip of the filter upwards (see diagram).  
2. Clean the filter and replace it correctly.  
Ensure the filter is fully located flush into the  
tumble dryer trim.  
Removing the condenser:  
1. Unplug the dryer and open the door.  
2. Pull open the condenser cover (see diagram).  
Release the three catches by turning 90˚ counter-  
clockwise then pull on the grip and remove from  
the dryer.  
! Do not use the dryer without replacing the filter.  
3. Clean the surface of the seals and replace with the  
arrows pointing upwards, making sure that the  
catches have been secured.  
Check the drum after each cycle  
Turn the drum manually in order to remove small  
items (handkerchiefs) that could have been left  
behind.  
Cleaning the dryer  
G
External parts in metal or plastic and rubber parts  
can be cleaned with a damp cloth.  
G
Cleaning the drum  
Periodically (every 6 months) vacuum the front air  
intake grille and vents at the rear of the dryer, to  
remove any build up of fluff, lint or dust. Also to  
remove accumulation of fluff from the front of the  
condenser and filter areas, clean occasionally with  
a vacuum cleaner.  
! Do not use abrasives, steel wool or stainless steel  
cleaning agents to clean the drum.  
A coloured film may start to appear on the stainless  
steel drum, this may be caused by a combination of  
water and, or cleaning agents such as fabric conditioner  
from the wash. This coloured film will not affect the  
dryers performance.  
! Do not use solvents or abrasives.  
! Your dryer uses special bearing components which  
do not need lubrication.  
! Have your dryer checked regularly by authorised  
technicians to ensure electrical and mechanical safety  
(see Service).
