Minimum gaps  
15mm  
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.

Installation  
Open window venting  
! Do not use extension cords.  
GB  
The end of the tube  
! The power cord must not be bent or squashed.  
should be directed  
downwards, to prevent  
warm moist air from  
condensing in the room or  
in the dryer.  
! 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.  
! Ensure that the dryer is adequately ventilated and  
that the end of the vent tube is not directed towards  
the air intake duct.  
! If in doubt about any of the above consult a qualified  
electrician.  
! The vent tube must always be fitted for optimum  
performance.  
! Make sure that the vent tube and air intake vents are  
not obstructed or blocked.  
Levelling your dryer  
The dryer must be installed level for correct operation.  
! The dryer must not recycle exhaust air.  
! Misusing a tumble dryer may create a fire hazard.  
! Do not discharge exhaust air into a flue which is  
used for exhaust fumes from other appliances that  
burn gas or other fuels.  
! Do not discharge exhaust air into an extraction  
system or any duct with an extractor fan. This will  
affect the way the thermal controls operate and can  
result in a fire hazard.  
When you have installed  
your dryer in its final  
location check that it is  
level first side to side,  
then front to back.  
Electrical connections  
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.  
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).  
G
Power voltage must be within the values indicated  
on the rating label (see Dryer Description).  
Before you start using your dryer  
G
The socket must be compatible with the dryers  
plug. Should this not be the case, replace the  
plug or the socket.  
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.  
! The dryer must not be installed outdoors, even if the

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  
2.5kg  
2kg  
Cotton and Cotton mixtures  
Synthetics  
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®.  
Wool Programme  
G
This is a programme for tumble dryer safe garments marked with the symbol  
It can be used for load sizes up to 1kg (approximately 3 sweaters).  
We recommend that garments are turned inside out before drying.  
This programme will take about 60 minutes, but may take longer depending on the size and density of the  
load and the spin speed used in your washer.  
Loads dried using this programme are usually ready to wear, but on some heavier garments the edges may be  
slightly damp. Allow these to dry naturally as over-drying could damage garments.

! Unlike other materials, the mechanism of wool shrinkage is irreversible; i.e. it will not stretch back to original size  
and shape.  
! This programme is not suitable for Acrylic garments.  
The wool drying cycle of this tumble dryer has been approved by The Woolmark Company for the drying of  
Woolmark garments labelled as machine wash and tumble dry, provided that the garments are dried according to  
instructions on the garment label and those issued by the manufacturer of this tumble dryer (M0615).

damp if you grouped cottons and synthetics together.  
If this happens simply give them an additional short  
period of drying.

upon:  
GB  
Blankets and Bedspreads: acrylic items (Acilan,  
Courtelle, Orion, Dralon) must be dried with special  
care on LOW heat setting. Avoid drying for a long  
period of time.  
G
Amount of water retained in clothes after spin  
cycle: towels and delicates retain a lot of water.  
G
Fabrics: items that are the same type of fabric but  
Pleated or creased garments: read the manufacturer’s  
drying instructions on the garment.  
different textures and thicknesses may not have  
the same drying time.  
G
Starched articles: do not dry these with non-starched  
items. Make sure that as much of the starch solution is  
removed from the load as possible before placing it in  
the dryer. Do not over-dry: the starch will become  
powdery and leave your clothing limp, which defeats  
the purpose of starch.  
Quantity of laundry: single items or small loads  
may take longer to dry.  
G
Dryness: If you are going to iron some of your  
clothes, they can be taken out while still a bit  
damp. Others can be left longer if you need them  
to be completely dry.

Maintenance and Care  
Switching off the electricity  
Check the drum after each cycle  
GB  
Unplug your dryer when not using it, when cleaning it  
and during all maintenance operations.  
Turn the drum manually in order to remove small items  
(handkerchiefs) that could have been left behind.  
Cleaning the drum  
Clean the filter after each cycle

it accumulates lint and fluff that is formed while drying.  
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.  
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  
dryer performance.

Periodically check the vent tube and any  
permanent venting fixture to make sure that there  
has been no accumulation of fluff or lint, and  
remove it.  
G
Remove lint that collects around the filter and the  
outlet vents.  
Removing the filter:  
1. Pull the plastic grip of  
the filter upwards (see  
diagram).  
! 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..

Recycling and Disposal Information  
As part of Hotpoint’s continued commitment to helping the environment, Hotpoint  
reserves the right to use quality, recycled components to keep down customer costs and  
minimise material wastage.  
Please dispose of packaging and old appliances carefully. To minimise the risk of injury to  
children, remove the door, plug, and cut the mains cable off flush with the appliance. Dispose  
of these parts separately to ensure that the appliance can no longer be plugged into a mains  
socket and the door cannot be locked shut.
