Frequently Asked Questions - C72AW White Knight

How do I clean the lint filter?

After each drying cycle, pull the filter upwards and away from the appliance. Remove fluff by hand or with a soft brush, then slide the filter back. Wash the filter occasionally in detergent solution.

How often should I clean the condenser?

The condenser should be cleaned monthly, or more frequently if the dryer is in constant use. Remove the condenser, flush fluff from between the plates under running water, and carefully shake off excess water. Ensure it is correctly reinstalled to avoid leaks.

What should I do if clothes are not dry after a normal cycle?

Check that you have selected the correct heat setting and timer time (not in cool down). Ensure the lint filter is clean. Verify the dryer is heating by feeling the left side below the door after 10-15 minutes. If not heating, the safety cut-out may have operated; press the red button at the rear to reset.

How do I reset the safety cut-out?

The safety cut-out trips if airflow is severely restricted. To reset, simply press the red button at the rear of the machine. A sharp click will be heard. Before restarting, ensure the filter is clean and air inlets/outlets are not blocked.

Can the door opening be reversed?

Yes, the door is reversible. Instructions for reversing the door opening are provided on the back page of the manual.

Can I stack this dryer on top of another appliance?

Yes, but only with the correct stacking kit (part number 0312-004-01000). Using any other stacking kit may affect performance.

How do I connect the drain hose?

Pull the drain hose from the valve at the top of the unit and fit it into your household waste pipe, ensuring an air gap between the hose end and any water in the pipe. A drain extension kit (4213 089 8778) is available if needed.

What is the maximum load weight?

The maximum dry weight load is 7 kg for cotton and delicates. For minimal creasing, a 2 kg load is recommended.

Why does the dryer have a cool down period?

An automatic 12-minute cool down period at the end of every cycle switches off the heater, allowing items to cool. This minimizes creasing and reduces the risk of fire. Never switch off the dryer and leave a hot load in the drum.

What do the care labels mean?

Check garment care labels before drying. Avoid drying woollen items unless labeled suitable. Delicates like tights and scarves should be placed in a pillowcase. Items soiled with oils or chemicals must be washed with extra detergent before drying.

INSTRUCTIONS THOROUGHLY BEFORE USING

THIS APPLIANCE. KEEP THEM IN A SAFE PLACE FOR FUTURE REFERENCE.

IMPORTANT USER INFORMATION

—This tumble dryer is intended for NORMAL DOMESTIC USE ONLY.

—Please note it is not recommended that the dryer is placed directly next to ovens or cookers as the performance of the dryer may be affected.

—A carpet must not obstruct the ventilation openings in the base of the dryer.

- Do not stack the tumble dryer on top of other appliances without the correct stacking kit.

—Any electrical work required to install the appliance should be carried out by a qualified person.

—It is important to clean the lint filter after each drying cycle and the condenser every month or the restrictions to airflow will extend drying times and could cause the safety cut-out to trip.

—Under no circumstances should anything other than the recommended articles be placed in the tumble dryer.

—The tumble dryer should be serviced by an appointed service organisation and only genuine parts used.

—It is dangerous to alter or modify the product in any way other than fitting authorized accessories.

Children shall not play with the appliance. Cleaning and user maintenance shall not be made by children without supervision. Children of less than 3 years should be kept away unless continuously supervised.

Fabric softeners, or similar products, should be used as specified by the fabric softener instructions.

WARNING: Never stop a tumble dryer before the end of a drying cycle unless all items are quickly removed and spread out so that heat is dissipated.

Remove all objects from pockets such as lighters and matches.

DO NOT use a two-way adaptor, or extension lead. The dryer must be connected to its own socket.

DO NOT block the air inlets at the front, base, rear and side of your dryer.

DO NOT allow fluff to accumulate around the tumble dryer. Risk of fire

DO NOT exceed the recommended maximum load.

DO NOT dry unwashed items in the tumble dryer

DO NOT place articles in the dryer if anything other than a water solution has been used in the cleaning process.

DO NOT attempt to dry dripping wet articles.

DO NOT use the tumble dryer if you suspect that it is damaged in any way. Under no circumstances should you attempt to repair the appliance yourself. Repairs carried out by inexperienced persons may cause serious injury. Consult your local appointed service engineer and insist on genuine spare parts.

INSTALLATION

Position the tumble dryer so that the plug remains accessible after installation. Do not block the vent at the front or base of the dryer, as this will impair the working of the machine. This appliance must not be installed behind a lockable door, a sliding door or a door with hinges on the opposite side to that of the tumble dryer.

DRAINAGE OPTIONS

Your new tumble dryer is fitted with an internal drain pump, which enables you to drain condensed water to your household waste pipe. To connect the dryer to your household waste pipe, follow the simple instructions below:-

1/ Pull the drain hose from the valve at the top of the unit.

2/ Fit the drain hose into your household waste pipe, ensuring a gap between the end of the hose and any water in the waste pipe.

If the drain hose is not long enough to reach your waste pipe, a drain extension kit can obtained from your retailer (part number 4213 089 8778).

The illustration shows the minimum space required by the dryer and the position of the waste-pipe within this space and behind the dryer. If a trap is fitted it must not obstruct the air inlet at the back of the dryer. The waste pipe can be positioned on either side of the dryer.

If the waste pipe is used by the dryer and a washing machine then its diameter must be large enough to contain both hoses - 1.5" bore (38mm) minimum.

FINAL INSTALLATION

Push the filter into its operating position as shown in the diagram. If you wish to change the side on which your door opens, see the instructions on the back page. Remove any dust by wiping the drum and door with a damp cloth. Any initial smell of burning will be caused by dust on the heater and will quickly disappear.

THE CONTROLS – (control panel styles may vary)

A. HEAT SWITCH Select the required heat setting based on the recommendations on the control panel. B. START BUTTON Press Start button after closing the door and selecting the required drying time. C. THE TIMER Select the required drying time based on the recommendations on the control panel.

PREPARATION

Check care labels inside the garments.

CARE LABELS YOU MAY FIND ON YOUR FABRICS

Do not tumble dry woollen or wool mixture articles unless the article is labelled as being suitable. This should avoid shrinkage.

Place delicate articles e.g.tights, scarves, inside a pillowcase.

To avoid the need to iron easycare polyester/cotton items it is .better to only dry small loads (i.e. half fill drum) It is better to dry small and large articles together.

Fabric softeners, or similar products, should be used as specified by the fabric softener instructions. Do not overload the dryer or dry large bulky items such as duvets or sleeping bags as it is important that the airflow through the dryer is not obstructed.

The final part of a tumble dryer cycle occurs without heat (cool down cycle) to ensure that the items are left at a temperature that ensures that the items will not be damaged.

Items that have been soiled with substances such as cooking oil, acetone, alcohol, petrol, kerosene, spot removers, turpentine, waxes and wax removers should be washed in hot water with an extra amount of detergent before being dried in the tumble dryer.

Items such as foam rubber (latex foam), shower caps, waterproof textiles, rubber backed articles and clothes or pillows fitted with foam rubber pads should not be dried in the tumble dryer.

OPERATION

Open the door.

Load clothes loosely into the drum.

Load sheets first, starting with one corner.

Close the door.

Dry your hands.

Check that the timer is in the '0' position.

Plug in the machine.

Select correct heat position, (see programme chart on control panel for recommendations).

Set the timer to the required time setting (see programme chart on control panel for recommendations).

For energy labeling purposes (EN61121:2005) for a cotton dry load, use the maximum load weight for cotton and set the timer to the recommended drying time for cotton dry as specified on the control panel.

The standard cotton programme is suitable to dry normal wet cotton laundry. It is the most efficient programme in terms of energy consumption for drying wet cotton laundry.

Your appliance is a reversing, small door opening. A full load will typically take 125 minutes and will use approximately 4.71kWh of electricity. A half load will typically take 75 minutes and will use approximately 2.60kWh of electricity.

The power consumption of the off-mode and the left-on mode is zero.

Press the start button.

The drum will begin rotating. Reversing drum models will stop periodically to rotate in the reverse direction for a short time.

Should the clothes become dry before the cycle has finished, or if an excessive programme time has been selected, the drum will continue to rotate while the thermostat will automatically regulate the heater to reduce the risk of over drying.

If the door is opened during a cycle the dryer will stop. To restart, close the door and press the start button. When drying large items such as sheets, we suggest you periodically stop the dryer to redistribute the load, and restart it immediately afterwards.

There is an automatic 12 minute cool down period at the end of every cycle, during which the heater is switched off. This helps to minimize creasing, and must always be used fully to avoid the risk of fire.

NEVER SWITCH THE DRYER OFF AND LEAVE A HOT LOAD IN THE DRUM. RISK OF FIRE.

ALWAYS CLEAN THE FILTER AFTER EACH USE. Failure to do so could cause the safety cut-out to operate.

NOTE: The condenser will discolour through use.

REMOVING THE CONDENSER

-Firmly pull the condenser out.

RE-INSTALLING THE CONDENSER

—Carefully push the condenser back into the machine, until it is pushed fully home and a “click” is heard.

IMPORTANT:

- Ensure all lint and fluff is removed from around the grille seal before closing or water may leak.

- The dryer may leak if the condenser is not correctly re-installed

CLEANING THE CONDENSER

CAUTION: For maximum efficiency, the plates are made from very thin aluminum and are easily damaged. Do not try to poke anything between the plates or use a hard object or tool for cleaning. At all times, handle the condenser carefully and avoid crushing the plates.

-Remove the condenser (see above).

-Flush the fluff from between the plates under running water and carefully shake off excess water.

CUSTOMER ADVICE – BEFORE CALLING FOR ASSISTANCE

If the clothes are not dry after normal drying time:

-Check that you used the correct heat setting.

-Check that you have not set the timer within a cool down period.

- Check that the lint filter has been cleaned. A blocked filter will restrict the airflow.

- Check that your dryer is heating - below the door to the left side, should feel warm to the touch after the first 10-15 minutes of its programme.

Failure to heat may indicate the safety cut-out has operated. To reset, simply press the red button at the rear of the machine. If it has operated then a sharp “click” will be heard.

This cut-out only operates if the airflow is severely restricted so make sure the filter is clean, the air inlets and outlets at the side and back are not blocked, and that all other restrictions are removed before re-starting.

If the cut-out continues to operate after checking the above points, you should contact your service agent.

Check that the machine has the correct weight load in the drum before starting the appliance.

If your machine does not work check the following before calling a service engineer:-

- Check that there is a supply of electricity.

- Check that the door has been properly closed and the machine is switched on.

- Check the fuse in the moulded plug.

A call out charge will be applied for a service visit, if the call could have been avoided by following these instructions.

ESSENTIAL CONTACT INFORMATION FOR “IN GUARANTEE” AND “OUT OF GUARANTEE” REPAIRS.

If problems continue after checking the above points you should contact our service agent. Please ensure that you have your serial number and model number to hand when you make the call. To locate the serial number on your dryer, open the door and look for a white label inside the door opening. This will indicate the appliance model number along with the serial number.
