DRAIN HOSE KIT: FITTING INSTRUCTIONS

To avoid having to empty the water container after each drying cycle, the water normally collected during the drying cycle 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 system should be located adjacent to the tumble dryer.

•The kit is composed: 1 hose, 1 straight hose connector, 1 pipe clip and 1 plastic tie.

WARNING!

Switch off and remove the

tumble dryer plug from the electricity supply before carrying out any work.

Fit he Kit s Follows:t a

1. Unscrew and remove the 3 screws, at the rear of the machine, retaining the worktop trim.

2. Remove the rear worktop trim and the worktop surface by carefully sliding it towards the rear of the machine.

3. The waste water container is situated at the right-hand side of the machine (viewed from the rear). A grey hose connects to the bridge above the water container. Using pliers, remove the pipe retaining clip from the bridge.

4. Pull the hose off the bridge connection.

5. Attach the hose from the kit, using the connector and pipe clips supplied, to the hose removed from the bridge connection.

PREPARING THE LOAD

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.

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.

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

During the last 15 minutes (roughly) the load is always tumbled in cool air

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

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.

Maximum Drying Weight

- Cottons

Max. 8 kg

- Synthetics

Max. 4 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.

- By drying level

Sort into: iron dry, cupboard dry, etc. For delicate articles press the 📋 button to select low drying temperature.

DO NOT USE WATER TO CLEAN THE FILTER.

The water removed from the laundry during the drying cycle is collected in a container inside the door of the dryer. When the container is full the 📋 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 out the tray until it is completely removed. Support the tray with both hands. When it is full the water container will weigh about 4kg.

2. Tilt the water container to empty the water out through the rear hole.

When emptyslide the water container back into position. PUSH FIRMLY INTO PLACE.

1. Press ▷III to restart the cycle.

NOTE: If you have the option of drainage near the dryer it is possible to use the discharge kit to provide a permanent drain for the water collected by the dryer. This will remove the need to empty the water tray. All the information for assembly of the kit is contained in the kit envelope.
