Adjusting the Feet

Once the machine is in place the feet should be adjusted to ensure that the machine is level.

DRAIN HOSE : FITTING INSTRUCTIONS

To avoid emptying the water container after each drying cycle, the water 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 should be located adjacent to the tumble dryer.

The kit consists of:1 hose and 1 tap.

WARNING! Switch off and remove the tumble dryer plug from the electricity supply before carrying out any work.

Fit the Hose as Follows:

1.Tilt the machine backwards.

1. The waste water pipe is situated at the left -hand side of the machine (see the picture). A grey hose connects to the bridge at the left hand side of the machine. Using pliers, remove the pipe retaining clip from the bridge.

3.Pull the hose off the bridge connection.

1. Attach the black hose from the kit, (using the connector and pipe clips supplied), to the hose removed from the bridge connection.

1. Place the tap supplied by the kit to close the remaining hose.

2. Once the machine is in place the feet should be adjusted to ensure that the new hose does not kink when pushing the tumble dryer into position.

3. Connect the new drain hose to the waste Water pipe.

4. Connect to the mains electricity supply.

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 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 rubber clothes (danger of fire or explosion).

During the last 15 minutes the load is always tumbled in cool air.

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.

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

Maximum Drying Weight

Cottons

Max. 8 kg

with 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 Delicates button to select low drying temperature.

SELECTING THE PROGRAMME

PROGRAMME	DESCRIPTION
All towels	Select the degree of dryness that you require. This range from 7 for all towels and bathrobes, through 20 for items that will be put away without ironing, to the programme that leaves the laundry suitable for ironing. 10
Store Dry
Hang Dry
Iron Dry
Relax 12 Min.	The programme provides a conditioning and anticlase 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. This programme relaxes the creases in the fabric making ironing quicker and easier.
Wool Finish	A gentle programme specially created to get woollens softer after air-drying. This delicate warm air cycle, lasting 12 minutes, can also be used to get woollens 'refreshed' after being stored in the wardrobe.
Mix & Dry	This is a special timed program for a maximum load of 4kg (117 min). The default duration is 99 minutes and allows to dry up to 3kg. With this program you can dry together cotton and synthetic fabrics.
Shirts	This is a special timed program for shirts of max load of 3kg (78 minutes). For synthetic shirts you have to press the Acrylic 1000 button.

Opening the Door

WATER CONTAINER

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 water container holding the handle.
   When it is full the water container will weigh about 6kg
2. Tilt the water container to empty the water out through the spout.
   When empty, replace the water container back as shown; first insert the base of the container into position as shown then gentle push the top into position.
3. Press Button to restart the cycle.

NOTE: If you have the option of drainage near to the dryer you can use the discharge kit to provide a permanent drainage for the water collected in the container of the dryer. This means that you don't have to empty the water container.

WARNING! If you open the door mid cycle,

before the cool-down cycle has completed, the handle may be hot. Please use extreme caution when attempting to empty the water reservoir during the cycle.

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.

2. Turn the two locking levers anti-clockwise and pull out the condenser.
3.Pull out the condenser unit.
4. Gently remove any dust of fluff with a cloth, then wash the unit by holding it under a running tap turning it so that water flows between the plates, to remove any dust of fluff.
5. Check the gasket position after cleaning. Fit the gasket in to the groove if it is misaligned.
6. Refit the condenser ensuring it is in the correct way (as indicated by the arrow) and pushed firmly into place. Lock the two levers by turning them clockwise. Be sure that condenser unit fixed to the basement tightly.
7. Refit the kickplate.
