For your safety
IMPORTANT
Using your Tumble Dryer is easy.
Nevertheless, for your own safety and to get the best results it is important to know your Dryer by reading right through this handbook before using your dryer for the first time.
NEVER Allow children to play with or otherwise interfere with the dryer.
NEVER Allow the air inlet at the back of the dryer, the air outlet or vent hose to be obstructed.
NEVER Direct the vent hose outlet towards the air intake at the back of the machine.
NEVER Allow the tumble dryer to recycle exhaust air.
NEVER Switch the machine off leaving a hot load in the drum.
NEVER Tumble dry without the filter in position.
NEVER Exceed the maximum load capacity recommended or place dripping wet items in the drum.
NEVER Use the dryer on a carpeted floor where the pile height would prevent air from entering the dryer from the base.
NEVER Allow lint to collect around the dryer.
NEVER Add liquid or sheet fabric conditioner to the dryer, use liquid conditioner in the final rinse of your wash.
NEVER Use the dryer for commercial drying, the dryer is only suitable for domestic use.
NEVER Dry Acrylics on the high heat setting.
NEVER Tumble dry articles that have NOT been well washed in water and detergent then well rinsed and spun.
NEVER Tumble dry articles that have had chemicals used for cleaning.
NEVER Dry articles that are contaminated with flammable substances such as: petrol, oil, paint, hair lacquer, creams, cooking fat or oil.
NEVER Tumble dry: rubber, foam rubber, plastic, plastic foam, nappy pants or liners, polythene or paper. Large, very bulky items including duvets and sleeping bags.
NEVER Never attempt to stand on top of your dryer, it is not designed for such use and you could injure yourself or damage the dryer by such abuse.
NEVER Switch electricity On or Off with wet hands.
IMPORTANT
A CHILD COULD CLIMB INTO OR TAMPER WITH AN UNATTENDED TUMBLE DRYER.
WHEN THE MACHINE IS NOT IN USE SWITCH OFF, REMOVE THE PLUG AND CLOSE THE DOOR.
For your safety
ALWAYS When the dryer is not in use, switch off, remove plug, and close the door.
ALWAYS Comply with the specified electrical requirements.
ALWAYS Ensure that your dryer is installed correctly and has adequate ventilation. (see "Where to put and vent your dryer")
ALWAYS Use the vent hose for optimum drying performance
ALWAYS Finish every programme with the cool tumble cycle provided on the control.
ALWAYS Clean the filter, it is essential that the filter is kept clear of fluff at all times.
ALWAYS Observe the rules for drying garments: In particular woollen articles should not be dried in a tumble dryer unless they are labelled 'Superwash', 'Machine washable' or have the 'May be tumble dried' symbol:
If in any doubt do not dry wool in the machine. Unlike other materials, the mechanism of wool shrinkage is irreversible, i.e. it will not stretch back to the original size and shape.
ALWAYS Buy genuine accessories and spares.
CAUTION:
When the dryer is in use avoid touching the rear of the dryer as it may be hot!
Electrical Requirements
WARNING:This appliance must be earthed!
REFER TO THE RATING PLATE FOR VOLTAGE AND CURRENT REQUIREMENTS. (See diagram for location.)
The dryer should be connected to the mains supply via a suitable socket which is accessible after installing your dryer.
The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following:
GREEN/YELLOW-EARTH
BLUE-NEUTRAL
BROWN
LIVE
If a replacement plug is to be fitted, the appropriate wire must be connected to the correct terminal, the cut-off plug must be disposed of safely. DO NOT leave where it can be inserted into a socket and create a shock hazard.
Should the mains lead ever require replacing at any time please contact your nearest Service Centre. A charge will be made for the replacement of the mains lead or if you require a longer lead.
The mains lead must only be replaced by a specially prepared cable obtainable from your Spares Stockist and fitted by a qualified electrician.
NOTE: IF IN DOUBT ABOUT ANY OF THE ABOVE CONSULT A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN.

Where to put and vent your dryer
| Fitting the Vent Hose Kit | See diagram on previous page. |
Where to put and vent your dryer
Permanent Venting
Wall/Window Venting
In conjunction with the vent hose we recommend the use of a Wall/Window Vent Kit. These are available from your retailer or nearest Spares Centre.
Fitting instructions are supplied with the kits, which can be mounted through a wall or window. Details of positioning for wall mounting are as follows: Break a hole through the wall to the left of the proposed position for the dryer. Keep the hose as short and straight as possible to prevent condensed moisture running back into the dryer. Similarly the duct inserted into the wall should slope downwards to the outside. For window venting with stacked dryer, the hole in the window should ideally be made below the outlet and the hose should be kept as short as possible.
Storm cover
B Depending on the frequency of use, it is essential that the areas A and B in the illustrations are checked periodically and any fluff or debris removed.
It is particularly important that the vent hose adaptor is fitted securely thus preventing any moisture laden air from being emitted back into the room.
NOTE: The dryer should not be pushed so far back that the hose adaptor is pulled out of position or the hose squashed. The hose should be kept clear of the air intake grille and kinks or 'U' bends avoided as these will obstruct the hose or trap condensation.
WARNING:
- ENSURE THAT THE DRYER IS ADEQUATELY VENTILATED AND THAT THE END OF THE VENT HOSE IS NOT DIRECTED TOWARDS THE AIR INTAKE DUCT.
- THE DRYER MUST NOT RECYCLE EXHAUST AIR.
- THE VENT HOSE MUST ALWAYS BE FITTED FOR OPTIMUM PERFORMANCE.
- MAKE SURE THAT THE VENT HOSE AND AIR INTAKE GRILLES ARE NOT OBSTRUCTED OR BLOCKED.
- MISUSE OF A TUMBLE DRYER MAY CREATE A FIRE HAZARD.
- DO NOT DISCHARGE THE EXHAUST AIR INTO A FLUE WHICH IS USED FOR EXHAUSTING FUMES FROM OTHER APPLIANCES BURNING GAS OR OTHER FUELS.
For open window venting it must be possible for the end of the hose to be directed downwards to prevent warm, moist air condensing in the room or in the dryer.

The Cool Tumble phase
About 10 minutes before the programme is completed, the heating elements will be switched off and the programme enters the final 'Cool Tumble' phase. During this phase the fabric is cooled. You should always allow the dryer to complete this phase. By opening the door you can check the dryness of the load as often as you wish and if you want to remove some items before they are fully dry. (This is particularly useful for a mixed load where you want to iron some items, but others are to be fully dried.)
Never switch the dryer off with a hot load in the drum. You must terminate every programme with the Cool Tumble Phase.

Setting Delayed Start
When using the Time Delay, select the number of delay hours you require before selecting the drying time. Select the delay period by rotating the timer knob in a clockwise direction, to the number of hours delay you require. The dryer will start its programme when the time selected has elapsed.
Do not rotate the knob beyond 12 hours (maximum delay time), or past the zero stop.
If you have selected more delay than you require, turn the knob anti-clockwise to select the correct time required.
Note: Ensure that the door is closed during the time delay period.
Programme Setting
To set the required programme, all you have to do is turn the Timer Control clockwise until the required selection appears in line with the indicator.
Never turn the Timer Control anti-clockwise.
This operation also starts the dryer, provided the door is closed, the machine is plugged in and power switch on.

Cool Tumble Phase
(i) Automatic Drying
The Auto drying programmes will automatically dry most loads to the fully dry ready to wear condition. This eliminates the need to guess the drying times and saves energy. High Heat MUST be selected (Heat switch IN). To select Auto drying, turn the selector to position.
for average loads and for large loads.
Auto drying average loads
1 In 3kg Collns, Polycollns or Synthelcs (Dry weight)
Auto driving large loads
3 to 6kg Cottons (Dry weight)
When the door is closed the Auto Drying light will glow to indicate that Auto drying programme is running.
When the load is dry, the selector will automatically advance to the 8 minute cool tumble phase.
Note:
- If LOW heat is selected for an Auto drying programme, the dryer will advance to COOL without drying the load.
For acrylics and acrylic mixtures, select LOW heat and use timed drying. - Small loads (Less than 1kg) must be dried using the timed drying programme.
- Drying large loads on the average load setting will give a slightly drier final result if required.
The Controls
(ii) Easy Iron Cycle
This is a short programme of approximately 10 minutes to condition previously dried clothes. See section 'Easy Iron Programme'.
It consists of a period of heating followed by a short cool tumble period (as detailed below).
Select HIGH heat for this programme.
It should not be used on damp loads, as it is NOT a drying programme.
(iii) Timed Dryling
To set the required time, all you have to do is turn the Timer Control clockwise until the required time appears in line with the indicator.
Never turn the Timer Control anti-clockwise.
The chart in the section 'Guide to Drying Times' will tell you how much time you will need for various loads.
This programme is particularly useful in cases where a damp load is required for ironing or LOW heat drying is required and also for small loads.
About 10 minutes before the programme is completed, the heating elements are switched off, and the programme enters the final 'Cool Tumble' phase.
(IV) Cool Tumble Phase
During this phase, the fabric is cooled. You should always allow the dryer to complete this phase.
By opening the door, the dryer will stop and you can check the dryness of the load as often as you wish and if you want to remove (or add) some items before they are fully dry. (This is particularly useful for a mixed load where you want to iron some items, but others to be fully dried).
We recommend that the clothes are removed immediately this programme ends to minimise creasing.
Auto dry Light
This light will glow when Auto drying is selected. It will stop glowing when the load is dry and the programme advances to the cool tumble phase.
This light glows during any drying programme and goes out at the start of the cool tumble phase.
Heat Selection
The button is OUT for 'LOW' heat and IN for 'HIGH' heat. The choice of 'HIGH' or 'LOW' heat depends upon the fabric you wish to dry (see section 'Sorting your Laundry').
NEVER SWITCH THE DRYER 'OFF' WITH A HOT LOAD IN THE DRUM. YOU MUST TERMINATE EVERY PROGRAMME WITH THE COOL TUMBLE PHASE.
Sorting your laundry
- Always separate laundry into the correct fabric groups before washing and drying.
- See that all zips are closed, hooks and eyes are fastened and belt, strings etc. are tied loosely in bows, you will normally have done this for each item before the washing stage.
- It is important to extract as much water as possible from each item before drying. This saves you time and money.
WARNING: CLOTHES SHOULD NEVER BE LOADED DRIPPING WET
- Make sure that the items to be dried are suitable for tumble drying, or are not of a type requiring 'special attention' (see "Wash Care Labels" section).
Maxlmum load size
Your dryer will hold a load of 6kg (13lb) dry weight of natural fabrics, if you are drying items of man-made fibres (synthetic or acrylics), the maximum load should not exceed 3kg (6.6lb) dry weight. This difference is that man-made fibres require more space to tumble-dry without creasing.
WARNING: DO NOT OVERLOAD AS THIS COULD RESULT IN REDUCED DRYING PERFORMANCE AND A POSSIBLE FIRE HAZARD.
Typical load
To help you estimate how many items it takes to make up a drying load, the charts below show the approximate weights of some everyday washing items.
| Clothes | |
| Bouse Cotton 150g 5oz | Other 100g 3 /oz |
| Dress Cotton 500g 1lb 2oz | Other 350g 12oz |
| Jeans 700g 1lb 6oz | |
| 10 Nappies 1000g 2lb 3oz | |
| Shirt Cotton 300g 10 | /oz |
| Other 200g 7oz | |
| T-Shirt | 125g 4 /oz |
| Household Items | |
| Duvet cover (Double) | Cotton 1500g 3lb 5oz Other 1000g 2lb 3oz |
| Large Tablecloth | 700g 1lb 6oz |
| Small Tablecloth | 250g 9oz |
| Taa Towel | 100g 3 '1oz |
| Bath Towel | 700g 1lb 8oz |
| Hand Towel | 350g 12oz |
| Double Sheet | 500g 1lb 2oz |
| Single Sheet | 350g 12oz |
If you group small cotton or terry-towelling items with a synthetic fabric load they could be damp at the end of the drying cycle. If this happens simply give them an additional short period of drying to finish them off.
Wash Care Labels
Most of today's fabrics can be tumble dried in your Dryer with no trouble at all, but there are certain fabric finishes which should be dried away from direct heat.
The majority of garments now have wash-care labels on them, giving full washing and drying instructions. These should always be followed carefully especially when you are drying something for the first time.
Typical symbols are:
May be tumble dried
Do not tumble dry
Tumble dry at high heat setting
Tumble dry at low heat setting
Items not suitable for tumble drying
- Those containing foam rubber or rubber-like materials or plastic film (e.g. pillows, cushions, PVC rainwear), or any other articles which are inflammable or contain inflammable substances (e.g. towels contaminated with hair lacquer
- Fibreglass (e.g. some types of curtains)
- Items which have been dry cleaned
- Woollens. Woollen items need as much care in drying as they do in washing. The movement of the tumble-drying action causes the woollen fibre to shrink and distort.
- Garments with the ITCL Code (see 'Items Requiring Special Attention').
Do not tumble dry.
Large bulky items e.g. continental quilts, sleeping bags, pillows, cushions, double blankets and large bedspreads. These expand when drying and would prevent airflow through the Dryer.
WARNING: THE DRYER IS INTENDED FOR USE ONLY WHERE WATER SOLUTION IS USED FOR THE CLEANING PROCESS. MISUSE OF A TUMBLE DRYER MAY CREATE A FIRE HAZARD.
Items requiring special attention
Blankets and Bedspreades
The drying requirements of blankets and bedspreads will, of course, vary tremendously according to size and weight. Some, however, are simply too big, if you have difficulty getting them into the Dryer, the machine will have difficulty drying them properly. Blankets (and Garments) made from Acrylic fibres (e.g. Acilan, Courtelle, Orion and Dralon) must be dried with special care on Low heat setting. Overdrying should be avoided to ensure heat ceasing does not occur.
Permanently pleated or creased garments
Your dryer will cope with such clothes very well, but you should always read the manufacturer's drying instructions attached to the garment before you begin.
Starched articles
Starched articles should be dried together in the same load to avoid the distribution of starch to non-starched items. You should use a slightly heavier starch solution than you would when drying the items on the washing line. Make sure that as much of the solution is removed from the load as possible before placing it in the Dryer. Remove the items from the dryer as soon as they reach ironing dampness. If they are overdried the starch will powder, leaving the fabric limp - which rather defeats the purpose of the exercise!
Fabric conditioner
To make sure all your tumble dried clothes come out really fresh and soft we recommend you use a liquid fabric conditioner in the final rinse of your wash. A liquid fabric conditioner restores bounce and softness and helps eliminate static cling.
WARNING: ON NO ACCOUNT SHOULD LIQUID OR SHEET FABRIC CONDITIONER BE ADDED TO THE DRYER ITSELF.
Home dry cleaning
Garments with the ITCL code may be cleaned using one of the Home Dry Cleaning Kits available.
The instructions supplied with the Home Dry Cleaning Kit must be strictly followed.
How to remove and clean the fluff filter
Position of filter
WARNING: NEVER USE SHEET FABRIC CONDITIONER. IT MAY FALL INTO THE FILTER AND RESTRICT THE AIRFLOW THROUGH THE DRYER
To remove the filter
A very important part of your dryer is the fluff filter at the front edge of the drum. It's there to trap the particles of fint and fluff which are normally blown away when clothes are dried on the washing-line. if the filter is allowed to become blocked, the passage of warm air through the drum will be severely restricted. This means your clothes will take much longer than normal to dry and the cost of drying them will be increased. it may also damage your dryer.
Small items, e.g. babies socks, may fall onto the filter. These should be removed so that the filter is not restricted.
Grip the centre rib and pull the filter upwards and forwards through the door seal (see diagram). Open the filter, and remove the fluff that has collected on the inside.
WARNING: DO NOT OPERATE THE DRYER WITHOUT CLEANING THE FILTER AFTER EACH DRYING CYCLE. FAILURE TO CLEAN THE FILTER MAY RESULT IN A FIRE HAZARD.
Wash or vacuum clean the filter occasionally. Don't be alarmed by the amount of fluff you may find on the filter. It's part of the wearing, washing and drying process.
WARNING: DO NOT OPERATE THE DRIVER WITHOUT THE FILTER IN POSITION.
It is essential that the filter is replaced correctly. It must be fitted so that the symbols, shown on the filter above, face towards the front of the dryer. Ensure the filter is fully located into the tumble dryer duct.
Guide to drying times
| Please note that the drying times stated below and on appliance control panel; are a GUIDE only and drying times are affected by:- | |
| The amount of water remaining in the clothes after spinning | Items such as towelling retain a lot of water after spinning, also the suggested wash programme for small items such as T-Shirts may sometimes incorporate a low spin speed which has the same effect. |
| The type of fabric | Your drying load may contain the same type of fabric but of different thicknesses. Thinner items will take less time to dry. Some fabrics, such as those used for jeans are of closer texture than others and although light when dry will be heavy after washing and spinning. |
| The quantity of clothes to be dried | Single items of clothes or small loads may take disproportionally longer to dry. It is more energy efficient to dry larger loads. |
| How dry you want the clothes | As it takes longer to fully dry clothes than to have them ready for ironing, you may wish to remove some clothes when they are slightly damp, ready for ironing and then continue to dry the remainder until they are fully dry. |
| The heat setting you have selected | The label on the garment should tell you the correct heat setting to select. See 'Wash Care Labels'. |
| The temperature of the room | If the room in which the dryer is situated is cold, your clothes will take longer to dry than if the room is warm. |
| Bulky items | Some bulky items such as padded jackets can be dried, with care, and we do advise that you remove these items several times, shake them and return them to the dryer. |
| THERE ARE HOWEVER SOME ITEMS THAT WE DO NOT ADVISE YOU TO DRY. SEE 'ITEMS NOT SUITABLE FOR TUMBLE DRYING' |

All fabrics contain a little natural moisture even when dry' and this natural moisture should not be lost if the clothes are to remain soft and fluffy.
Clothes that are dried for too long tend to wrinkle and will need more ironing than usual, giving you extra work that the Dryer was designed to remove.
Easy Iron Programme
When to use 'Easy Iron'
'Easy Iron' provides a short programme consisting of approximately 8 minutes of heat with an approximately 2 minutes cool tumble period. It is a short conditioning programme that softens the fibres allowing them to relax making handling and ironing easier and less time consuming.
However garments are dried, outside on the line, inside on a radiator, hung around the home or using a tumble dryer, once dry they usually get left in the same position/place for a long period of time. This tends to cause garment fibre stiffness which can make the handling of garments difficult and therefore the ironing time longer. Garments dried in any of the ways described above and left will benefit from the 'Easy Iron' programme.
Important!
The 'Easy Iron' cycle is not a drying programme. It has been designed to condition/soften garments that have already been dried and left unattended in this state for a period of time.
- All materials do not behave in exactly the same way when heated. For instance, our testing has shown that materials such as Tencell® and Acrylics are not relaxed quite as effectively by applying the 'Easy Iron' cycle as we found on the more traditional Cottons and Polycottons.
To obtain the best results from 'Easy Iron' it is important that the weights recommended below are not exceeded and HIGH heat is selected. (Heat switch IN).
For best results We recommend garments should be removed from the dryer Immediately after the 'Easy Iron' programme to be hung, folded neatly or ironed. When this is not possible the 'Easy Iron' programme should be repeated.
Recommended weights and materials
| Material Maximum load | ||
| Cotton and Cotton mixtures | 2.5kg | 5.5lb |
| Synthetics | 2kg | 4.4lb |
| Denim | 2kg | 4.4lb |
Caring for your Dryer
| Your tumble dryer needs very little attention. The following simple steps will keep it performing well. | |
| When finished | Switch off electricity and remove plug. |
| After each load | Always clean the filter and turn the drum by hand to check that small items like handkerchiefs do not get missed. |
| As necessary | Clean exterior metal and plastic surfaces with a damp cloth or silicon polish only. Regularly check and clean if necessary, the vent hose and any permanent venting fixture to ensure that there has been no accu-mulation of fluff or lint during the drying process Clean fluff from the area below the fluff filter and the rear vent tube. Do not use abrasive cleaners, scouring agents, acids, chlorine bleach or metal polish to clean any part of the machine. These could damage the machine. |
| Lubrication | Your tumble dryer uses special bearing components. Lubrication by the user is not necessary and must not be attempted. |
| We strongly recommend that all appliances are regularly checked for electrical and mechanical safety. |
If something goes wrong
| First, don't panic! There may be nothing wrong at all. Look for your problem below, then check the things we suggest. More often than not, this will give you the answer to your problem, and you'll be able to carry on without having to telephone your Service Office.
