PLEASE READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS THOROUGHLY

This appliance must be operated in accordance with the instructions given in this manual. It is for domestic use only in drying household textiles and garments where a water solution has been used in the cleaning process. It MUST NOT be used with dry cleaning fluids. For your safety, this dryer must be correctly installed. If there is any doubt about installation, call GIAS Service for advice. Before using the tumble dryer for the first time:

please read this instruction book thoroughly.

wipe the inside of the drum and door with a damp cloth to remove any dust which may have settled in transit. IMPORTANT: This dryer must only be used for drying household textiles and garments where a water solution has been used for the cleaning process. DO NOT tumble dry fabrics treated with dry cleaning fluids. Electrical requirements This appliance is fitted with a moulded-on non-rewireable plug. The plug should be accessible for disconnection after the appliance has been installed. IMPORTANT: The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code: Blue - NEUTRAL Brown - LIVE Green-and-yellow - EARTH If the supply cord on this appliance is damaged, it must be replaced by a special cord which is only available from GIAS Service or an authorised dealer. WARNING!

THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE

Installation and Ventilation requirements IMPORTANT: This dryer must be installed such that the air inlets and outlets are not restricted (fig. 1). There should be a gap of at least 12 mm (0.5 inches) between the sides and rear of the machine and the surrounding walls and cabinets. 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 between the sides and rear of the dryer as these may obstruct the air inlet and outlets. A venting hose is supplied with this tumble dryer. The use of the venting hose to exhaust hot air to the external atmosphere is strongly recommended to ensure maximum drying efficiency. Protect the external outlet from prevailing winds to ensure back-draughts do not reduce the drying performance. If the dryer is installed under a worktop or built-in, it is essential to use the venting hose to carry the hot moist air away from the dryer otherwise re-circulation of the moist air will prevent the dryer from working efficiently. The hose may be fitted through a wall or through an open door or window (fig. 2). The hose is 95 mm (3.75 inches) in diameter and will extend up to 1.8 metres (6 feet). Venting hoses longer than 1.8 metres (6 feet) are not recommended as the dryer performance will be reduced. Ensure that the venting hose is not kinked as this will prevent the dryer from working efficiently. There are three air outlets – one at the rear and one on each side of the dryer. The venting hose must only be attached to one of these outlets. The covers must be fitted to the two unused outlets to maintain maximum drying efficiency. Where it is not practical to fit a venting hose, condensation can be reduced by operating the dryer close to an open window or an extractor fan.

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

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). 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 ‘DELICATES’ ( ) button to select low drying temperature. 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. NEVER put dripping wet items into the tumble dryer, this may damage the appliance. ALWAYS ensure that the covers are fitted to the two unused vent outlets, this will maintain maximum drying performance. HOOVER1185- English.fm Page 5 Wednesday, August 8, 2001 10:11 AMENGLISH

1. Open the door and load the drum with

laundry. Ensure that garments do not hinder closure of the door.

2. Gently close the door pushing it slowly

until you hear the door ‘click’ shut.

3. Press the ‘ON/OFF’ button to switch

on the dryer. The indicator will light.

4. Turn the ‘PROGRAM’ dial to select

the required drying program: e.g. if you are drying cotton laundry and would like it suitable for ironing please select the iron dry option. The PRE-IRONING setting shown by the symbol on the ‘PROGRAM’ 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.

5. If drying delicate items on the ‘timed’

programs press the ‘DELICATES’ button to reduce the heat level. Press again on completion, to select high temperature.

6. Press the ‘START’ button. The dryer

will start automatically and the ‘HEATING’ indicator will light. Drying sensor A sensor will detect when the load is dry. The drying cycle will then go into the cooldown period and the ‘COOLING’ indicator will light. After 10 minutes of cooldown the drum will stop rotating automatically. Note: (i) 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, utilise the timed programs. Set the program between 30 and 75 minutes depending upon load size and dryness required and select high or low heat depending upon the fabric type. If this is not carried out the dryer will only operate for 10 minutes before going into cooldown. (ii) If the sensor does not operate, for example when a load is too large or too wet to tumble dry, the dryer will automatically go into cooldown after 180 minutes. The dryer can be set to start up to 9 hours after the program has been set. To set the time delay option press and release the ‘START DELAY’ button until the required delay (shown in hours) appears on the display and then press the ‘START’ button. The display will flash. As each hour passes the figure shown on the display will count down. When it gets to 0 the dryer will start. The delay can be changed at any time simply by pressing the button until the new figure appears on the display. If there is an interruption to the electricity supply the time delay will be lost and so will have to be re-set when the power is restored.

7. To switch off the buzzer, which sounds

at the end of each cycle, press the ‘ALARM OFF’ button.

8. 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 HIGH Heat setting LOW Heat setting HOOVER1185- English.fm Page 9 Wednesday, August 8, 2001 10:11 AMENGLISH

ready for handling. During this time the ‘COOLING’ indicator is lit.

9. When the program is fully completed

the drum will stop rotating. The dial remains at the position of the selected program. The ‘COOLING’ indicator will flash and the buzzer will sound.

10. Open the door and remove the load.

If the load is not removed from the dryer at the end of the drying cycle, a ‘creaseguard’ function is activated. Every 15 minutes the dryer will tumble the load for 5 seconds and the buzzer will sound. This process will be repeated until the ‘creaseguard’ function is cancelled by opening the door. The ‘COOLING’ indicator will continue to flash while ‘creaseguard’ is activated.

11. Clean the filter after every drying cycle

to ensure maximum dryer efficiency. (See ‘Filter’ section.) Cleaning the dryer IMPORTANT: Always switch off and remove the plug from the electricity supply before cleaning this appliance. Clean the filter after every drying cycle. After each period of use, wipe the inside of the drum and leave the door open for a while to allow circulation of air to dry it. Wipe the outside of the machine and the door with a soft cloth. DO NOT use abrasive pads or cleaning agents. To prevent the door sticking, periodically clean the door gasket with a ‘non-scratch cream cleaner.’ Technical specifications Drum capacity 115 litres Maximum load 6 kg Height 85 cm Width 60 cm Depth 60 cm Energy Label Band C Note: For electrical data refer to the rating label on the front of the dryer cabinet (with the door open).
