Installation requirements

IMPORTANT: This dryer must be installed such that the air inlets and outlets are not restricted (fig. 1).

1 - Supply cord
2 - Air inlets
3 - Air outlets

There should be a gap of at least 12 mm (0.5 inches) between the sides, rear and base of the machine and the surrounding walls, cabinets and floor.

To ensure adequate ventilation the space between the bottom of the machine and the floor must not be obstructed.

NEVER install the dryer up against curtains.

Prevent items from falling or collecting behind and beneath the dryer as these may obstruct the air inlets and outlets.

Preparing the load

Before using the dryer for the first time wipe the inside of the drum and door with a damp cloth.

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.

Clothes preparation

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 overload the drum, particularly when drying large items, otherwise, the laundry may stick to the drum and not dry evenly.

Maximum drying weight

● Cottons Max. 6 kg
● Synthetics Max. 3 kg

Sort the load as follows:

A) By care symbols

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.

B) By amount and thickness

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

ENGLISH

C) 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.

D) By drying level

• Sort into: iron dry, cupboard dry, etc.
• For delicate articles press the HEAT SETTING button to select low drying temperature (变)
  ● For airing or drying very delicate articles select the airing option button

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 rubber clothes (danger of fire or explosion).

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.

NEVER exceed the maximum weight, this will waste time and electricity.

ALWAYS check that the filter is clean before every drying cycle as this aids efficiency.

NEVER put dripping wet items into the tumble dryer, this may damage the appliance and waste time and efficiency.

Opening the door

Pull on handle to open the door (fig. 2). This is a safety feature to prevent entrapment of minors in the drum.

WARNING!

WHEN THE TUMBLE DRYER IS IN USE THE DRUM AND DOOR MAY BE VERY HOT.

To restart the dryer, close the door and press the ON button ⏻

Filter

IMPORTANT: To maintain the efficiency of the dryer check that the fluff filter is clean before each drying cycle.

1. Pull the filter upwards (fig. 3).
2. Open filter as shown (fig. 4).
3. Gently remove lint using a soft brush or your fingertips.
4. Snap the filter together and push back into place.

Filter Care Indicator

Lights when the filter needs cleaning.

If the laundry is not drying check that the filter is not clogged.

ENGLISH

Water Container

The water removed from the laundry during the drying cycle is collected in a container at the bottom of the dryer.

When the container is full the EMPTY WATER indicator ( ^1 ) on the control panel will light and the container MUST be emptied.

Note: Very little water will collect during the first few cycles of a new machine as an internal reservoir is filled first.

We recommend that the container be emptied after each drying cycle.

To empty the water container:

1. ENSURE THE MACHINE IS SWITCHED OFF. Gently pull the bottom of the kickplate so that it unclips from the dryer. The top section can then be unhinged allowing the kickplate to be completely removed (fig. 5).
2. Pull firmly on the drawer front handgrip and slide the water container out of the dryer (fig. 6). Support the container with both hands. When full, the water container will weigh about 4 kg (fig. 7).
3. Open the lid located on the top of the container and empty the water (fig. 8).
4. Refit the lid and slide the water container back into position. PUSH FIRMLY IN PLACE.

Condenser

IMPORTANT: Always switch off and remove the plug from the electricity supply before cleaning the condenser.

To maintain the efficiency of the dryer regularly check that the condenser is clean.

To remove the condenser:

1. Remove the kickplate (fig. 5).
2. Turn the two locking levers anti-clockwise (fig. 9).
3. Pull out the condenser unit (fig. 10).
4. Gently remove any dust or fluff with a cloth, then wash the unit by holding it under a running tap (fig. 11) turning it so that water flows between the plates, to remove any dust or fluff.
5. Refit the condenser ensuring it is pushed firmly into place. Lock the two levers by turning them clockwise.
6. Refit the kickplate.

Drying guide

The table shows approximate drying times, depending on the type of fabric and dampness of the clothes.

HEAT SETTING HEAVY LOAD MEDIUM LOAD LIGHT LOAD

COTTON HIGH 125-135 Min 70-80 Min 50-65 Min

SYNTHETICS LOW 70-85 Min 55-65 Min 40-55 Min

ACRYLIC LOW 50-65 Min 40-50 Min 30-40 Min

PRE-IRON PROGRAM: RELAXES CREASES – EASIER TO IRON

For delicate fabrics select the LOW HEAT SETTING button for all Drying Programmes. This reduces the drying temperature to protect your garments.

REMEMBER: During the last 10 minutes the load is always tumbled in cool air.

ENGLISH

ENGLISH

Operation

1. Open the door and load the drum with laundry. Ensure that garments do not hinder closure of the door.
2. If drying delicate items press the button or the button to reduce the heat level. Press again on completion, to reset the option.

D HIGH Heat setting or airing not selected

LOW Heat setting or airing selected

1. Turn DRYING TIME dial until the required drying time aligns with the symbol.

The Pre-ironing setting shown by the symbol on the DRYING TIME dial provides a conditioning and anti-crease 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 pre-ironing process relaxes the creases in the fabric making ironing quicker and easier.

1. Gently close the door pushing it slowly until you hear the door 'click' shut.

2. Press the button. The indicator will light and the drying cycle begins.

3. The load is dried by tumbling in thermostatically controlled warm air. Cool air is used for the last 10 minutes to reduce creasing and cool the load ready for handling.

4. When the program is fully completed the drum will stop rotating and the dial will point to the symbol.

WARNING!

THE DRUM, DOOR AND LOAD

MAY BE VERY HOT.

Open the door and remove the load.

1. Clean the filter and empty the water container after every drying cycle to ensure maximum dryer efficiency. (See 'Filter' and 'Water Container' sections.)
2. Clean the condenser after approximately every 10 drying cycles to ensure maximum dryer efficiency. (See 'Condenser' section.)

ENGLISH

Cleaning the dryer
