Installation and Ventilation requirements

1 SUPPLY CORD AIR INLET VENTS HOT AIR OUTLET

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 95mm (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.

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

ENGLISH

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.

●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.

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 'DELICATES' button to reduce the heat level. Press again on completion, to select high temperature.

HIGH Heat setting LOW Heat setting

1. Turn 'DRYING TIME' dial to select the required drying time.

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 8 minutes followed by a 2 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 'ON' 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 mark on the dial will be at the top.

Open the door and remove the load.

WARNING! THE DRUM, DOOR AND LOAD MAY BE VERY HOT.

1. Clean the filter after every drying cycle to ensure maximum dryer efficiency. (See 'Filter' section.)

ENGLISH
