Installation requirements

IMPORTANT: This dryer must be installed such that the air inlets and outlets are not restricted (fig. 1).

There should be a gap of at least 12mm (0.5 inches) between the sides rear and base of the machine and the surrounding walls, cabinets and floor.

To ensure adequate ventilation the space between the bottom of the machine and the floor must not be obstructed.

NEVER install the dryer up against curtains.

Prevent items from falling or collecting behind and beneath the dryer as these may obstruct the air inlets and outlets.

Preparing the load Before using the dryer for the first time wipe the inside of the drum and door with a damp cloth.

Make sure that the laundry you are going to dry is suitable for drying in a tumble dryer, as shown by the care symbols on each item.

Clothes preparation Check that all fastenings are closed and that pockets are empty. Turn the articles inside out. Place clothes loosely in the drum to make sure that they dont get tangled.

Do not overload the drum, particularly when drying large items, otherwise, the laundry may stick to the drum and not dry evenly.

Maximum drying weight Cottons Max. 6 kg

Synthetics Max. 3 kg

Sort the load as follows: A) By care symbols

On the collar or inside seam:

Suitable for tumble drying.

Tumble drying at high temperature.

Tumble drying at low temperature only.

Do not tumble dry.

B) By amount and thickness Whenever the load is bigger than the dryer capacity, separate clothes according to thickness (e.g. towels from thin underwear).

IMPORTANT: Do not dry articles which have been treated with a dry cleaning fluid or rubber clothes (danger of fire or explosion).

Energy saving Only put into the tumble dryer laundry which has been thoroughly wrung or spin- dried. The drier the laundry the shorter the drying time thus saving electricity.

ALWAYS try to dry the maximum weight of laundry, this will save time and electricity.

NEVER exceed the maximum weight, this will waste time and electricity.

ALWAYS check that the filter is clean before every drying cycle as this aids efficiency.

NEVER put dripping wet items into the tumble dryer, this may damage the appliance and waste time and efficiency.

Filter IMPORTANT: To maintain the efficiency of the dryer check that the fluff filter is clean before each drying cycle.

Water Container The water removed from the laundry during the drying cycle is collected in a container at the bottom of the dryer.

When the container is full the EMPTY WATER indicator on the control panel will light, and the container MUST be emptied. However, we recommend that the container is emptied after each drying cycle.

NOTE: Very little water will collect during the first few cycles of a new machine as an internal reservoir is filled first.

To remove the container: 1. Gently pull the bottom of the kickplate

so that it unclips from the dryer. The top section can then be unhinged allowing the kickplate to be completely removed (fig. 4).

2. Pull firmly on the handgrip and slide the water container out of the dryer (fig. 5).

1. Gently remove lint using a soft brush or your fingertips (fig 3).

Clean Filter Indicator lights when the filter needs cleaning. If the laundry is not drying check that the filter is not clogged.
