Frequently Asked Questions - TM 221 W Tricity Bendix

How do I clean the lint filter on the Tricity Bendix TM 221 W?

Open the door and pull out the lint filter located at the bottom of the door opening. Brush off lint with a soft brush or wash with warm water if heavily clogged. Ensure it is completely dry before reinserting. Clean after each drying cycle for optimal performance.

What should I do if the dryer does not start?

Check that the door is properly closed and the start button is pressed. Ensure the dryer is plugged in and the circuit breaker is not tripped. Also verify that the selected program is not a delay start. If still not starting, refer to the troubleshooting section in the manual.

Can I dry all types of fabrics in the TM 221 W?

No, always check care labels. Do not dry items that have been cleaned with flammable solvents, rubber, foam, or items with padding. Use appropriate programs: cotton for heavy fabrics, synthetics for polyester blends, and delicates for lingerie.

How do I reverse the door of the dryer?

The door can be reversed to suit your laundry room layout. Unscrew the hinge screws on both sides, remove the door, and reattach on the opposite side. Refer to the installation manual for step-by-step instructions with diagrams.

What is the maximum load capacity?

The maximum dry load is 5 kg. Overloading can cause poor drying results and may damage the dryer. For best performance, do not exceed this capacity.

Why is my dryer taking too long to dry?

Check if the lint filter is clogged, the exhaust vent is blocked, or the room temperature is low. Also ensure you are not overloading the dryer. Use a higher heat setting if appropriate for the fabric.

How do I clean the condenser (if applicable)?

The TM 221 W is a vented model and does not have a condenser. Instead, ensure the exhaust hose is not kinked or blocked. For vented dryers, regular cleaning of the lint filter is sufficient.

Is the Tricity Bendix TM 221 W energy efficient?

This model has an energy efficiency class of C, which is average for older tumble dryers. To save energy, use moisture-sensing programs if available, and avoid overdrying.

What does the anti-crease function do?

The anti-crease function periodically rotates the drum after drying ends to prevent wrinkles from setting in. It can be activated manually and lasts up to 90 minutes if the door is not opened.

Where can I find replacement parts for the TM 221 W?

Replacement parts such as drum belts, door hinges, lint filters, and heating elements can be found online through spare parts retailers or directly from Tricity Bendix service centers. Check the model number for compatibility.

Control panel

1 Programme Chart

This will help you to select the correct time for drying.

2 Delicate Button

Press this button to reduce the temperature when drying particularly delicate cotton or linen items.

In this case you should select a longer drying time.

On the programmes for synthetics the temperature is automatically reduced.

Therefore it is not necessary to depress this button.

3 Start Button

After selecting the drying time press this button to start the programme. If the door is opened during drying or during a power cut, this button has to be depressed again after closing the door to allow the programme to continue.

4 Mains-On Light

This lights up when the machine starts operating and goes out at the end of the programme.

5 Drying Time Selector Dial

The selector dial incorporates two drying cycles, one of up to 150 minutes at a high temperature (red section) for cotton and linen, and one of up to 100 minutes at a low temperature (grey section) for synthetic fabrics.

To set the machine to the selected time, turn the dial clockwise until the time you want coincides exactly with the pointer.

NEVER attempt to turn the dial in an anticlockwise direction.

When selecting the drying time, you should remember that it includes a 10 minute cooling phase (position ♣ on the dial).

This phase should not be shortened, stopped or avoided, as this could cause skin burns or damages to the laundry.

Additional drying

If at the end of the programme the laundry is still too damp, set the dial for a further period of drying (remembering to take into account the cooling period).

(1) Never overfill the drum (do not load large quilts, for example).

The laundry must be suitably spun in your washing machine before being placed in the tumble dryer (500rpm minimum). Drying times vary according to:

- The type of laundry

- The size of the load

- The degree of spinning prior to drying

Drying times are given as a guide only. Experience will soon enable you to estimate the drying time needed for your usual laundry loads.

Do not start by selecting a long drying time. It is better to determine the required degree of dryness by gradually increasing the drying time.

For a mixed load (cotton and synthetics, for example) select the time for the most delicate fibres and increase it by 10 mins.

Drying

1. Load the laundry

Illustration of hands cleaning a circular object with a cloth (no text or symbols)

Open the door by pulling it outward.

Load the items one at a time, shaking them out loosely and close the door.

Please check the laundry does not get caught between the door and filter.

2. Select the required option

Depress Delicate if desired.

3. Select time

Turn the selector dial clockwise to the required minute setting (in the high or low temperature range, according to the fabric). Press Start button, the mains-on light illuminates and the machine starts operating.

4. When drying is completed

The machine stops automatically, the mains-on light goes out.

If the laundry is still too damp, select a further brief drying time, bearing in mind that during the last 10 minutes the dryer carries out the cooling and anti-crease treatment phase.

When the programme has finished you are advised to unplug the appliance.

Clean the filter after every drying programme. A clean filter ensures correct functioning of the appliance.

Useful hints

- Try to load to the maximum capacity of the machine as small loads are uneconomical.

For information, here is a list of the average weights of some common laundry items.

Sheet 700 - 1000 g

Tablecloth 400 - 500 g

Kitchen towel 70 - 120 g

Table napkin 50 - 100 g

Towelling hand towel 150 - 250 g

Bathrobe 1000 - 1500 g

Man's shirt 200 - 300 g

Pillowcase 100 - 200 g

Man's pyjamas 400 - 500 g

Ladies' nightdress 200 - 250 g

- Never tumble dry the following: Particularly delicate items such as net curtains, woollen, silk, fabrics with metal trim, nylon tights, bulky materials such as anoraks, blankets, eiderdowns, sleeping bags, feather quilts and any items containing rubber foam or materials similar to rubber foam.

● Always follow the instructions on garment labels.

○ may be tumble dried

tumble dry normal (high temperature)

tumble dry delicate (low temperature)

do not tumble dry

- Close pillowcases and covers with fasteners to prevent small laundry items getting tangled inside them. Close press studs, zips and hooks and tie belts and apron strings.

- Sort laundry according to type and degree of drying required.

- Do not over-dry laundry, this avoids creasing and saves energy.

- Avoid drying dark clothes with light coloured fluffy items such as towels as they could attract the fluff.

- Remove the laundry when the dryer has finished drying.

- To avoid a static charge when drying is completed, use either a fabric softener when you are washing the laundry or a fabric conditioner specifically for tumble dryers.

Laundry Shrinkage

Certain fabrics such as woollens and silks are generally not suitable for tumble drying. Due to the structure of some woollen garments which are recommended for tumble drying, shrinking could still occur, but once the garment is worn again, it should regain its shape.

Starched Laundry

Starched laundry can also be dried in the tumble dryer. Make sure that the time selected is for iron dry. After completion of the programme wipe out the drum with a damp cloth and dry to remove any traces of starch.

Maintenance and Cleaning

Important

You must disconnect the appliance from the electricity supply, before you can carry out any cleaning or maintenance work.

External cleaning

Use only soap and water and then dry thoroughly.

From time to time, apply a little wax furniture cream with a soft cloth.

Important: do not use methylated spirit, diluents or similar products.

Cleaning the door

Diagram showing hands cleaning a circular component with a label P0328 (no text or symbols on the diagram itself)

Clean periodically the interior part of the door to remove any fluff. Accurate cleaning ensures correct drying.

Cleaning the filter

Your dryer will only function well if the filter is clean.

The filter collects all the «fluff» which accumulates during drying and it must therefore be cleaned at the end of each programme with a damp cloth.

The filter cannot be removed.

It is perfectly normal for fluff to accumulate in the filter during drying. In fact, even fabrics dried in the open air lose their fibres, but we do not notice it.

Installation

Positioning

The appliance may be placed in any room, provided the following precautions are taken.

The appliance expels hot, very moist air. The rest of the house must be able to easily absorb this moisture.

Normally, absorption is only possible in houses where there is very little humidity. Otherwise, the room must have ventilation towards the outside; generally, an open door or window is enough.

The capacity of the venting circuit must be at least 150 m ^3 /hour. Check that the air inlet and outlet vents are unobstructed.

The best way of evacuating the moisture is through a vent hose to the outside of the building. Use the special 100 mm diameter flexible hose supplied with the appliance connected to one of the air outlet vents with the collar supplied.

The unused outlets must be covered.

Never connect the air vent hose into an existing discharge pipe or duct, as this could be dangerous, might disturb neighbours and could cause the dryer to malfunction.

This product is supplied with a 2.50 metre vent hose, although the maximum length of the vent hose may be: 4 metres with no bends, or 2 metres with 2 bends.

Advice: If the hose is long and the room temperature low, the moisture might condense to water inside the hose.

This is an unavoidable natural phenomenon. To prevent this water from lying in the hose or flowing back into the tumble dryer, it is advisable to drill a small hole (dia. 3 mm) in the lowest point of the hose and to place a small container below it. (See picture, point A).

Connect the other end of the hose to an opening in a door or window. Fit a suitable shield or point the hose downwards to prevent any rain water and wind from getting in.

Rain and wind shields for placing over openings usually consist of valves or movable flaps. Periodically check the shield since strong winds and other factors (rust, dirt) can sometimes prevent it from opening, so causing problems with air venting.

If you use a rain shield, check that the openings in it are large enough to allow air to escape. Openings which are too small restrict the flow of air.

Problems can be encountered in rooms fitted with a very powerful central extractor fan. If you find that drying times are too long, switch off the extractor or close its grille whilst the tumble dryer is in use.

A highly effective solution is to simply poke the vent hose through a window or skylight. This might however cause problems in winter because the dryer will draw in very cold (and often also very damp) air through the open window, so increasing drying times and leading to very high energy consumption.

If the dryer is fitted next to kitchen units, make sure that the vent hose is not squashed. If the hose is partially squashed, drying efficiency will be reduced, resulting in longer drying times and higher energy consumption.

If the hose is completely squashed, the safety cut-outs with which the machine is fitted may operate.

Condensation discharge through the vent hose

Condensation may be discharged either through a vent outlet provided at the back or through the left or right side outlet.

Illustration of a hand holding a small object near a computer tower (no text or symbols visible)

The vent hose collar is placed in the rear vent outlet. Remove the collar by pulling it out of the vent outlet. Screw the collar to the vent hose.

Fit the hose into the required vent outlet, and place vent covers provided over the unused outlets.

The vent hose must not contain more than two bends when it is placed in position for operation.

Diagram showing a washing machine and a refrigerator with diagonal lines indicating prohibition (no text or symbols)

You should NOT connect the flexible vent hose to, for example, a chimney or flue pipe designed to carry the exhaust from a fuel burning heating appliance.

The tumble dryer must be installed in a clean place, where dirt does not build up.

Make sure there are no obstructing items or material near the air-intake louvres provided at the back (e.g. paper, rags etc.).

Important

When operating the tumble dryer, the room temperature must not exceed 35^ C, as it may affect the performance of the appliance.

To save energy, the room temperature should not be lower than +15°C.

WARNING!

Should the appliance be moved, it must be transported vertically.

WARNING!

The appliance must not be installed behind the lockable door, a sliding door a door with a hinge on the opposite side to that of the appliance.

Levelling

Level the tumble dryer into place by screwing or unscrewing the front feet as required.

Accurate levelling will keep vibration and noise to a minimum when the dryer is in use.

Diagram of a bolt installation with three circular arrows indicating rotational motion (no text or symbols)

Door reversal

To make it easier to load or unload the laundry the door can be reversed.

This operation must be carried out by qualified personnel.

This will be a chargeable option.

Electrical connection

Any electrical work required to install this appliance should be carried out by a qualified electrician or competent person.

WARNING: THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED.

The manufacturer declines any liability should this safety measure not be observed.

The power supply cable must be accessible after installing the machine.

If the plug that is fitted to your appliance is not suitable for your socket outlet, it must be cut off, and the appropriate plug fitted.

Remove the fuse from the cut off plug. The cut off plug should then be disposed of to prevent the hazard of

electric shocks, in case it should be plugged into a 10 Amp socket in another part of your home.

Important

The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code:

Green and Yellow - Earth

Blue - Neutral

Brown - Live

If you fit your own plug, the colours of the wires in the mains lead of your appliance may not correspond with the markings identifying the terminals in your plug.

To fit the plug, proceed as follows:

Connect the green and yellow (earth) wire to the terminal in the plug which is marked with the letter «E» or the earth symbol or coloured green and yellow.

Connect the blue (neutral) wire to the terminal in the plug which is marked with the letter «N» or coloured black.

Connect the brown (live) wire to the terminal in the plug which is marked with the letter «L» or coloured red.

The plug moulded on to the lead incorporates a fuse. For replacement, use a 10 Amp BS1363 fuse. Only ASTA or BSI approved fuses should be used.

The plug must not be used if the fuse cover/carrier is lost. The cover/carrier is indicated by the coloured insert at the base of the plug.

A replacement cover/carrier must be obtained from your local Tricity Bendix Service Centre (see page 7).

Avoid connecting the tumble dryer to the same socket as your washing machine (or any other appliance) by means of an adaptor. Have an extra socket installed if necessary, by a qualified electrician.

Note

Installation, and, in particular, connection to the electric mains and to the discharge vent must be carried out by a competent person or qualified electricians.

Please ensure that when the appliance is installed it is easily accessible for the engineer, in the event of a breakdown.

WARNING!

The manufacturer declines any responsibility for damage or injury through failure to comply with the above safety precautions. Should the appliance power supply cable need to be replaced, this must be carried out by our Service Centre.
