Frequently Asked Questions - BTD1 BAUMATIC

How do I install the Baumatic BTD1 tumble dryer?

Ensure the aperture dimensions match (min height 820 mm, width 600 mm, depth 600 mm). Use the supplied vent hose and attach it to the wall vent. Level the appliance using adjustable feet and secure it if necessary. Refer to the installation section in the manual for detailed steps.

How often should I clean the fluff filter?

Clean the fluff filter after every drying cycle. Remove it by pulling upward, clean off fluff by hand or soft brush, and wash occasionally with detergent solution. Do not use abrasive products.

Can I reverse the door opening direction?

Yes, the door can be reversed to open left or right. Disconnect the appliance from power, remove hinge covers and screws, reverse the door, and reattach components. Follow the step-by-step instructions in the manual.

What should I do if my clothes are not fully dry after a cycle?

Check the fluff filter for blockage, ensure the correct temperature setting and timer duration are selected, verify the vent hose is not blocked, and account for the 12-minute cool down period. If the power is off, reconnect.

Can I dry all types of fabrics in this dryer?

No, always check the care label on garments. Items with symbols indicating 'tumble drying beneficial' are safe. Do not dry items with foam rubber, rubber backing, or those soiled with flammable substances.

Why does my dryer stop mid-cycle?

The dryer has a resettable cut-out that activates if airflow is restricted. Press the red button on the back of the appliance to reset. Ensure the filter is clean and the vent hose is unobstructed before restarting.

How do I vent the tumble dryer?

The dryer is air-vented and comes with a vent hose. Drill a 100 mm diameter hole through the wall behind the dryer (125 mm from left, 695 mm below worktop). Attach the hose to the vent outlet and pass it through the hole. Ensure the vent is not blocked.

What is the maximum load capacity?

The maximum load is 6 kg for a standard cotton program. Overloading may result in uneven drying and increased creasing.

Can I pause the cycle to add or remove clothes?

Yes, simply open the door to stop the drum. Close the door and press the start button to resume. Be cautious as garments may be hot.

How do I clean the drum?

Do not use descaling agents, steel wool, or abrasive cleaners. Wipe the drum with a damp cloth and warm water if needed. Check the rubber door gasket regularly for deposits or foreign objects.

Drying program guidance

• Check the wash care labels of the garments that you want to dry, to make sure that they are suitable for drying in a tumble dryer.
• The maximum amount of clothing that can be dried in your appliance in a single drying cycle is 6kg. If the tumble dryer is overloaded, then the drying performance will be affected and clothing may come out creased.
• If you have taken the clothes you want to dry out of a washing machine with an inadequate spin cycle, roll the clothes in a towel to remove the excess water.
• IMPORTANT: Do not dry clothes that are dripping wet.

○ Only dry garments of the same fabric type in a single drying program. If heavy and light fabrics are dried in the same drying cycle, then you will get uneven drying performance.
- When drying larger garments such as sheets, it is advisable not to place more than two garments in the appliance at once. You should stop the dryer before the completion of a program to redistribute the load.
○ Delicate items such as tights and stockings should be placed inside a pillowcase before drying.
- DO NOT dry clothes containing foam rubber (latex foam), shower caps, waterproof textiles, rubber backed articles and clothes or pillows fitted with foam rubber pads in the appliance.
- DO NOT dry one item at a time as the garment will roll up and increase the drying time.
- IMPORTANT: If the clothes become dry before the cycle has finished, the thermostat will automatically switch off the heater to prevent over-drying the garments. This will save energy although the drum will still rotate.
There is an automatic 12 minute cool down period at the end of every cycle, during which the heater switches off. This helps to minimise creasing.

Care labels

- You may find the following symbols on the care labels of your garments. These indicate how to dry the item correctly.

Tumble drying beneficial

Do not tumble dry

Dry flat

Selecting a drying program

• Open the tumble dryer door.
• Load the clothes loosely into the drum. Items such as sheets should be loaded corner-first.
• Close the door and dry your hands thoroughly.
• Select the desired drying temperature using the heat selection button (C). Use the program suggestion display (B) as a guide.
• Check that the drying time selection dial (A) is in the "0" position before you adjust it to the required drying time.

Each drying cycle automatically includes a final cooling down period (cycle) of about 12 minutes. This should be accounted for when setting a drying time.

• Press the start button (D) and the drum will begin rotating.
• The tumble dryer will stop when the timer automatically reaches the "0" position.

Pausing a drying cycle

• It is possible to remove your clothes or redistribute the load before the cycle has finished.
• To stop the machine in the middle of a program, simply open the door. The drum will stop rotating automatically.
• IMPORTANT: Care should be taken when interrupting a drying cycle as garments may be hot to touch.
• The program will continue when the door is closed again and the start button (D) is pressed.
  To lengthen or shorten the program when it is in progress, turn the drying time selection dial (A) to the required time.

Maintenance and cleaning

In daily use

• The filter should be cleaned after each drying cycle.
  Leave the porthole door ajar for a short while after a drying cycle has completed. This should help to prevent stagnant smells and to protect the door seal.
• We suggest that you disconnect the appliance from your mains supply, when it is not in use.

Control panel and tumble dryer cabinet.

IMPORTANT: Do not use any abrasive cleaner or household polish on either the control panel or operating parts.

- Wipe over the control panel and the external surface of the machine using a brand new damp cloth with warm water.

The tumble dryer drum

The drum of your tumble dryer is constructed from galvanized steel. However if there are objects that can rust placed inside the drum, then it is possible for the drum to become stained.

IMPORTANT: Do not use a descaling agent, iron/steel wool or scouring agents to clean the drum of your appliance.

Door

- You should regularly check to see if any deposits have formed, or there are any foreign bodies in the rubber door gasket. This sits inside the opening of the porthole door.

The filter

- It is important to remove fluff from the filter after each drying cycle.

- You should disconnect the appliance from the mains supply before cleaning the filter.

- To remove the filter, pull it upwards.

o Remove any thread or fluff by hand or with a soft brush.

- Slide the filter back into position.

- Wash the filter occasionally in a detergent solution and with a soft bush to remove all small particles. Do not use an abrasive cleaning product on the filter.

Installation

IMPORTANT: THIS INSTALLATION MUST BE COMPLETED BY A SUITABLY QUALIFIED PERSON. BAUMATIC ONLY SANCTION THE INSTALLATION GIVEN IN THIS INSTRUCTION MANUAL. KEEP THE TRANSIT PACKAGING, IN CASE YOU NEED TO TRANSPORT THE MACHINE IN THE FUTURE.

Installing the appliance into a kitchen unit

- You should ensure that the size of the aperture is the same as the dimensions given in the diagram opposite.

- Your dryer is provided with a vent hose which will extend to approximately 2 metres. It is strongly recommended that this is vented through the wall with the attachment provided.

- The position of the hole for the vent (100 mm diameter) should be directly behind the tumble dryer as shown in the diagram opposite.

The vent hole should be positioned 125 mm in from the left adjacent kitchen unit and approximately 695 mm below the work surface above, depending on the adjusted height of the appliance.

- If the vent through the wall is to be positioned anywhere else other than behind the dryer, the vent hose should be located at floor level and through an adjacent side panel to a suitable position.

- The plinth must be cut-out to accommodate the air vent grill at the bottom front of the tumble dryer. The cut-out size required is shown in the diagram below.

○ IMPORTANT: The air vent at the front of the appliance must never be covered or blocked in any way as this will cause the dryer to overheat.

Positioning

The appliance should be positioned on a solid and flat surface. This will reduce vibration and noise. Large amounts of vibration can damage the appliance. We advise that the foot rails are used as this will increase the stability of the appliance, however in cases of reduced aperture height, the appliance can be used without the foot rails.

To install the feet without the foot rails, first remove the plastic adaptors/inserts from the rails and attach to the bottom of the appliance. Then simply screw the feet into the bottom of the appliance (inserts) on each corner. Adjust the feet to the desired height, and ensure the appliance is level.

To install with the foot rails, first attach the foot rails (B) to each side of the appliance using the self-tapping screws (A).

- Then screw the adjustable feet (C) into the rails (plastic feet adaptors/inserts) and then place the appliance into its final position. Adjust the feet to level the appliance.

- For extra stability, you can secure the rails/appliance to the adjacent cabinets using the long screws (D).

Reversing the dryer door

IMPORTANT: The appliance must be disconnected from the mains supply before carrying out this procedure.

- The tumble dryer's door can be positioned to open either to the right or the left.

• Open the dryer door.
• Undo the screw (A), remove the switch strike (B) and replace the screw.
• Remove the screws (C) and latch plate (D).
  o Remove the hinge cover screw (E).
• Close the door.

o Pull the hinge cover (F) forwards to remove it.
o Remove the two outer screws (G). Remove the door.
- Fit the latch plate (D) with screws (C).

• Reverse the door and place against the dryer's doorway so that it is in the closed position.
  o Refit the screws (G) and hinge cover (F).
• Open the door.

• Fit screw (E) to secure the hinge cover.
• Remove the screw (A) at the top of the door and refit strike (B) as shown in the above drawing.

- The hinges can be fastened through the pre-drilled holes on either the left or right hand side with the door stops being fitted on the other side.

○ IMPORTANT: As your appliance is a built in product, the electrical socket or mains switch must still be accessible once the appliance is installed.
- Consult the rating plate, located on the back of the appliance BEFORE making the electrical connections. Ensure that the voltage reaching the plug is the same as that on the rating plate.
- DO NOT REMOVE THE RATING PLATE AS THE INFORMATION ON IT IS IMPORTANT.
- The moulded plug that is supplied with the appliance must be placed into an earthed and insulated socket.
- The special mains cable and plug assembly must only be replaced with a genuine part from the Baumatic Spares department or our appointed service agent.
○ IMPORTANT: We do not recommend that this appliance is connected to an extension lead.

Troubleshooting

- If your tumble dryer appears to have a fault, please check the table below before calling the Baumatic Customer Care Helpline.

Problem Possible cause Possible solution
Clothes are not dry after a normal drying time (e.g. a length of time within which your appliance usually dries a similar washing load).	The filter is dirty. Clean the filter.
	You used the wrong temperature setting.	Increase the temperature setting.
	The power is off. Check if the power is on or not.
	The venting hose has become blocked (sometimes a strong wind may cause back pressure).	Unblock the venting hose.
	You have set the timer within the cool down period.	Set the timer for a long enough drying time, taking into account the final cool down period (about 12 minutes).
Your tumble dryer is not working at all.	There is no power supply.	Connect to a power supply.
	Not switched on. Switch on the machine.
	The door is not closed properly.	Close the door before trying to operate your appliance again.
	Your appliance has cut-out.	Your tumble dryer has been fitted with a resettable cut-out. Check that this is not engaged by seeing if the red button on the back of your appliance gives a sharp ‘click’ sound when you press it. PLEASE NOTE: This cut-out only operates if the airflow is severely restricted so make sure the filter is clean and all other restrictions are removed before restarting.
	The mains cord is damaged.	You must contact the Customer Care Helpline to order a new cord.

This label, positioned on the rear of your dryer, indicates that the surface is hot when in use so avoid touching it.
