Never spin items of laundry which have been cle- aned, washed, impregnated or sprayed with wax, paint, petrol or inflammable liquids. The vapours can constitute a fire hazard or cause an explosion. Always wash materials containing these substan- ces by hand first and let them dry outside in the fresh air.

Do not use the appliance as a footboard or load heavy items onto it.

Do not reach into the drum while it is spinning.

Do not store the spin dryer directly next to a hot stove or heater.

In general, we recommed avoiding the use of mul- tiple plug sockets, extension cables and adapters.

Pull out the plug – if the appliance malfunctions during operation; – before cleaning and maintenance; – after use.

Operate the spin dryer only in an upright posi- tion on an even floor and maintain a distance of about 50 cm from the wall or other objects (Fig. B, Page 5).

During operation, do not lift, carry, hold, move or tip over the appliance.

Never handle the operating lever and lid with force.

Lift or carry the appliance by the carrying handles only.

Before disposal of the spin dryer, cut off the mains cable. Ensure that the appliance is disposed of carefully and orderly.10

HOW TO CONNECT AN ALTERNATIVE PLUG

If the fitted plug is not suitable for your socket outlet, then it schould be cut off and disposed of in order to avoid a possible shock hazard should it be inserted into a 13A socket elsewhere. A suitable alternative plug of a least 13 Amp rating e.g. 15 Amp round pin to BS546 should then be fitted to the cable. The wires in this mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code: – BLUE – “NEUTRAL” (“N”) BROWN – “LIVE” (“L”) GREEN AND YELLOW – “EARTH” (“E”)

1. The GREEN AND YELLOW wire must be connected to

the terminal in the plug which is marked with the letter “E” or by the Earth symbol or coloured green or green and yellow.

2. The BLUE wire must be connected to the terminal

which is marked with the letter “N” or coloured black.

3. The BROWN wire must be connected to the terminal

which is marked with the letter “L” or coloured red. ELECTRICAL INFORMATION

The mains lead of this appliance is fitted with a BS1363A 13 amp fused plug. To change a fuse in this type of plug use an A.S.T.A. approved fuse to BS1362 type.

1. Remove the fuse cover (A) and fuse (B)

2. Fit replacement 13A fuse into fuse cover

3. Refit both into plug

IMPORTANT: The fuse cover must be refitted when changing a fuse and if the fuse cover is lost the plug must not be used until a correct repla- cement is fitted. Correct replacementes are identified by the colour insert or the colour embossed in words on the base of the plug.

• Replacement fuse covers are available from your local Elec- tricity Board Shop.

3. Remove the transport safeguard from inside the

4. We recommend that the spin drum be washed

out with a standard detergent before using for the first time.

5. Place the spin dryer on a level floor at a

distance of about 50 cm away from the wall or other objects. Never balance out irregularities in the floor surface by laying wood, paper or similar materials under the appliance. Loading the machine

1. Place a sufficiently large container for excess

water under the outlet spout.

2. Plug the appliance in to a mains socket (please

observe the Points of Safety).

Operating Instructions

3. Place each article of laundry singly in the

spin drum. Distribute the washing evenly in the drum and press down firmly, so as to avoid leaving empty spaces (and thus avoiding excessive vibration of the machine during operation).

4. The max. dry weight capacity and the electrical

ratings are to be found on the rating plate or to be obtained in consulting your dealer.

5. Do not place rolled-up items of clothing

(e.g. jeans) in the spin dryer.

6. Press the loaded washing down, so that

there is a gap of at least 3 cm between the washing and the top edge of the drum. Lastly, cover the washing with a cloth, the ends of which should be tucked well down inside the drum, so as to avoid items of was- hing being catapulted out during operation.

Switch on the appliance Turn the operating lever to the right as far as it will go to the “ON” (I) position. The spin dryer is now in operation and water flows out of the outlet spout. Spin Drying Times For normal washing: 3-5 minutes. The residual moisture amounts to:

• approx: 65% in machines with a spin speed of 1400 rpm;

• approx: 40% in machines with a spin speed of 2800 rpm; For washing which requires no ironing: 15-30 seconds max. Switch of the appliance When water ceases to flow out of the outlet spout, or when the spin process is to be terminated, turn the operating lever back to the left to the “OFF” (0) position. When the drum has come to a standstill, open the lid. A special safety device prevents the lid being opened before the drum has stopped spinning. Never force the lid open Remove the laundry from the drum. Gently tilt the spin forward, so that any remaining water can flow out of the outlet spout. Pull out the plug.

Maintenance and Care If unexpected difficulties arise

• Always pull out the plug before cleaning the appliance!

• After use, wipe the spindrum dry with a cloth.

• If dirty washing has been spun, it is necessary to rinse the drum out with clear water in order to avoid soiling the next load of washing.

• Clean the exterior of the spin dryer with a damp cloth and wipe it dry.

• Use standard detergents only to clean the appliance.

• Do not use abrasive cleaning agents.

• Never use petrol or other solvent liquids.

• The spin dryer requires no other maintenance.

• Before contacting your dealer, check whether the fault is due to one of the following minor causes. The motor does not function:

• Is there damage to the mains cable, plug or socket? Pull out the plug before checking!

• Never open the motor yourself! Water does not flow out:

• Pull out the plug! Check whether the outlet spout is blocked by a piece of washing.

• Press the spin drum from the inside against the outer casing with your hand and remove the piece of washing. The spin dryer does not pick up spin speed:

• Please note that the spin dryer normally overcomes a certain amount of unbalance itself when picking up spin speed. The motor and spin drum are suspended flexibly for that reason.

• However, if the unbalance is too great (brought about by incorrect loading of the spin dryer), the machine cannot pick up spin speed. The spin dryer “jumps”:

1. Switch off the spin dryer immediately!

2. When the drum has come to a standstill, repack

3. Reload the spin dryer in accordance with the

instructions given on the previous page. Customer Service Ask your dealer for the adress or telephone number of your nearest Customer Service.
