40003552Eng.qxd 20/07/2005 16:24 Page 6 Installation You may be charged for a service call if a problem with your machine is caused by incorrect installation. Electrical requirements Tumble dryers are supplied to operate at a voltage of 230V, 50 Hz single phase. Check that the supply circuit is rated to at least 10A. Electricity can be extremely dangerous. This appliance must be earthed. The socket outlet and the plug on the appliance must be of the same type. Do not use multiple adapters and/or extension leads. If the mains cord on this appliance is damaged, it must be replaced by a special cord which is ONLY obtainable from the spares service. It must be installed by a competent person. The plug should be accessible for disconnection after the appliance has been installed. The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following codes: Blue NEUTRAL Brown LIVE Green and Yellow EARTH CE Appliance complies with European Directive 89/336/EEC, 73/23/EEC and subsequent amendments. Do not plug the machine in and switch it on at the mains until the installation is completed. For your safety, this dryer must be correctly installed. If there is any doubt about installation, call GIAS Service for advice. Adjusting the feet Once the machine is in place the feet should be adjusted to ensure that the machine is level. Adjust the four feet to ensure the machine is firm and level.

40003552Eng.qxd 20/07/2005 16:24 Page 7 Ventilation Adequate ventilation must be provided in the room where the tumble dryer is located to prevent gases from appliances burning other fuels, including open fires, being drawn into the room during operation of the tumble dryer.

Exhaust air must not be discharged into a flue which is used for exhausting fumes from appliances burning gas or other fuels.

Check regularly that the air flowing through the dryer is not restricted.

Check the fluff filter after use, and clean, if necessary.

The inlet and outlets should be kept free from obstructions. To ensure adequate ventilation the space between the bottom of the machine and the floor must not be obstructed. There should be a gap of at least 12mm between the machine and any obstructions.

Prevent items from falling or collecting behind the dryer as these may obstruct the air inlet and outlet.

NEVER install the dryer up against curtains. Installation of the Discharge Hose It is essential to use a venting hose to carry the hot moist air away from the dryer unless the dryer is situated in a open space with a good air flow around it. Re-recirculation of the moist air will prevent the efficient operation of the dryer. The hose is assembled to the machine as shown The hose may be fitted through a wall or through an open door or window. The hose is 110mm in diameter and will extend 1.8 meters. The following guidelines should be followed when installing the discharge hose.

Do not use two hoses joined together as the drying performance will be reduced.

Do not restrict the flow of air through the hose e.g. by kinking it or

40003552Eng.qxd 20/07/2005 16:24 Page 8 fitting a smaller diameter connector to mount to a wall opening.

Avoid the hose making U shaped curves as this will restrict the flow of air and increase the chance that water will collect in the hose.

Check the hose regularly to remove any build-up of fluff or water that may have collected in it. The following diagrams give examples of good and bad installations. Preparing the load Before using the tumble dryer for the first time: Do not overload the drum, large items when wet can exceed the maximum admissible clothes load (for example: sleeping bags, duvets).

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. 40003552Eng.qxd 20/07/2005 16:24 Page 9 Maximum drying weight

Synthetics Max. 3 kg Sort the load as follows:

By care symbols These can be found 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. If the item does not have a care label it must be assumed that it is not suitable for tumble drying.

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

By type of fabric Cottons/linen: Towels, cotton jersey, bed and table linen. Synthetics: Blouses, shirts, overalls, etc. made of polyester or polyamid, as well as for cotton/synthetic mixes.

40003552Eng.qxd 20/07/2005 16:24 Page 10 Drying advice IMPORTANT: Do not dry articles which have been treated with a dry cleaning fluid or rubber clothes (danger of fire or explosion). Do not tumble dry: Woollens, silk, delicate fabrics, nylon stockings, delicate embroidery, fabrics with metallic decorations, garments with PVC or leather trimmings, training shoes, bulky items such as sleeping bags, etc. 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. During the last 15 minutes the load is always tumbled in cool air. 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. Drying guide The table shows approximate drying times, depending on the type of fabric and dampness of the clothes. HEAVY LOAD MEDIUM LOAD HEAT SETTING INDICATOR LIGHT COTTON HIGH OFF SYNTHETICS LOW

40003552Eng.qxd 20/07/2005 16:24 Page 13 Selecting the Programme This Sensor Dry machine gives many options for drying the laundry to suit all circumstances. The table below lists the programmes and the function of each programme. Programme Description Bone Dry Select the degree of dryness that you require. Extra Dry This ranges from Bone Dry for bath towels and bathrobes, through Cupboard Dry for items that will be put away without ironing, to the programmes that leave the laundry suitable for ironing. Cupboard Dry Iron Dry Medium Dry Damp Dry Fast Iron The Fast Iron programme provides a conditioning and anticrease function. The dryer will heat the load for 9 minutes followed by a 3 minute cool down period and is especially good for garments which may have been left for some time prior to ironing, in a linen basket for example. Garments may also become stiffened when dried outside on a washing line or inside on radiators. The Fast Iron process relaxes the creases in the fabric making ironing quicker and easier. 75' 75 minutes of drying 60' 60 minutes of drying 45' 45 minutes of drying 30' 30 minutes of drying Refresh Tumbling of laundry in cool air 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. Set the programme between 30 and 75 minutes depending on the load size and dryness required, and select high or low heat depending upon the fabric type. 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 180 minutes.

40003552Eng.qxd 20/07/2005 16:24 Page 14 Operation
