Fit the Hose as Follows:

1.Tilt the machine backwards.

2. The waste water pipe is situated at the left -hand side of the machine (see the picture). A grey hose connects to the bridge at the left hand side of the machine. Using pliers, remove the pipe retaining clip from the bridge.

3. Pull the hose off the bridge connection.

4. Attach the black hose from the kit, (using the connector a n d p i p e c l i p s supplied), to the hose removed from the bridge connection.

5. P lace the tap supplied by the kit to close the remaing hose.

To avoid emptying the water container after each drying cycle, the water can be discharged directly to a waste water drain pipe (the same drainage system as household sinks). Water Bye-Laws prohibit connection to a surface water drain. The waste water drain pipe should be located adjacent to the tumble dryer.

The kit consists of:1 hose and 1 tap.

Before using the tumble dryer for the first time: Please read this instruction book thoroughly. Remove all items packed inside drum. Wipe the inside of the drum and door with a damp

cloth to remove any dust which may have settled in transit.

Clothes Preparation

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. 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 don't get tangled.

Woollens, silk, delicate fabrics, nylon stockings, delicate embroidery, fabrics with metallic dec- orations, garments with PVC or leather trimmings, training shoes, bulky items such as sleeping bags, etc.

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

During the last 15 minutes the load is always tumbled in cool air.

Do Not Tumble Dry:

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. Check that the filter is clean before every drying cycle. NEVER Exceed the maximum weight, this will waste time and electricity. Put dripping wet items into the tumble dryer, this may damage the appliance.

Do not overload the drum, large items when wet can exceed the maximum admissible clothes load (for example: sleeping bags, duvets).

The wool drying cycle of this machine has been approved by The Woolmark Company for the drying of machine washable wool products provided that the products are washed and dried according to the instructions on the garment label and those issued by the manufacturer of this machine. M1524.

In UK, Eire, Hong Kong and India the Woolmark trade mark is a Certification trade mark.

SELECTING THE PROGRAMME

The Hoover Sensor Dry machine gives many options for drying the laundry to suit all circumstances. The table on the next page lists the programmes and the function of each programme. Note: The sensor may not detect a small load of small articles. For small loads and separate items or pre- dried fabrics with low moisture content, use the timed programmes. If the sensor does not detect the item the dryer will only operate for 10 minutes before going into cooldown. If the load is too large or too wet to tumble dry the dryer will automatically go into cooldown after approximately 3 hours. In these cases we advise to use a time cycles between 30 and 75minutes depending on the load size and dryness required, and select high or low heat depending upon the fabric type.

DESCRIPTION

Memo Program allows to re-perform a program that the user has

saved before, without selecting the correct sequence of program selector positions and option buttons for that particular program.

The Rapid 40 programme allows a drying cycle to be completed quickly. This is an ideal programme for having dry, refreshed and ready-to-wear clothes in less than 40'. This special programme constantly monitors the temperature in the drum. The maximum load is 2 kg and the programme is suitable for all types of fabrics where tumble drying is appropriate.

'

Woolen clothes: the program can be used to dry up to 1 kg of laundy (around 3 jumpers). It is recommended to reverse all clothes before drying. Timing can change due to dimensions and thickness of load and to spinning chosen during washing. At the end of the cycle, clothes are ready to be worn, but if they are more heavy, edges can be a bit wet: it is suggested to dry them naturally. It is recommended to unload clothes at the very end of the cycle. Attention: felting process of wool is irreversible; please dry exclusively clothes with symbol (symbol "ok tumble"); this program is not indicated for acrylic clothes.
