Features - Get to know the main parts of your dryer
NOTE: If your dryer is new wipe out the inside of the drum before you first use it to remove any dust which may have accumulated during transit.
Plinth Moulding (Not fitted to all models)
Where to put your dryer
Your Tumble Dryer should NOT be located adjacent to a gas hob, cooker, heater or eye level grill as flames from the burners could cause damage to your machine.. When the dryer is fitted under a work surface, allow space for air to exit the rear grille, a 15mm gap each side of the dryer is recommended. This airflow is essential to condense the water produced drying the washing, the dryer will not operate efficiently in an enclosed space or cupboard.
If using your dryer in a small or cold room some condensation could be experienced.
If you are using this dryer adjacent or stacked on top of a washing machine SEPARATE mains plugs and sockets must be used for each appliance. DO NOT use 2-way adaptors or extension leads.
Stack it on your Washing Machine
Both your tumble dryer and front loading washing machine are similar in design allowing the tumble dryer to be permanently stacked on top saving you valuable floor space. A special stacking kit complete with instructions is available from your retailer or nearest Spares Centre.
IMPORTANT
Only use genuine stacking kits. When ordering you must state the model numbers of both your Washing Machine and your Tumble Dryer. Unsuitable kits may result in a potential hazard and will invalidate your warranty rights.
Door Reversal Instructions
The door of your Dryer is reversible and can easily be changed. Exchange diagonally hinge brackets and blanking plugs. Exchange door latch and catch with their opposite blanking plates. See diagram above.

Speedy Iron Cycle
This is a short programme of approximately 10 minutes to condition previously dried clothes. See section, "Speedy Iron Programme".
It consists of a period of heating followed by a short cool tumble period. Select HIGH heat for this programme.
It should not be used on damp loads, as it is NOT a drying programme.
Selecting the required Heat Switch setting
To select HIGH heat (Cottons), the Heat Switch must be IN.
To select LOW heat (Acrylics and Synthetics), the Heat Switch must be OUT. See section, "Guide to Drying Times".
Empty Water Light
This light will glow when the water container is full.
You should not wait for this light to glow before emptying the container, but empty it after each load (See section "Emptying the Water Container").
NOTE: If the light glows during a programme you must stop the dryer and empty the water container. If this is not done the timer will advance to the Cool Tumble phase without drying the load.
The light will take approximately 10 seconds to go out after replacing the empty container.

(iii) Timed Drying
A short programme of around 30 minutes is provided to dry small loads of less than 1kg.
To select this programme, turn the knob clockwise until 30 min appears in line with the indicator. About 10 minutes before the programme is completed, the heating elements are switched off and the programme enters the final ‘Cool Tumble’ phase.
(iv) Speedy Iron Cycle
This is a short programme of approximately 10 minutes to condition previously dried clothes. See section ‘Speedy Iron Programme’.
It consists of a period of heating followed by a short cool tumble period (as detailed below).
Select High heat for this programme.
It should not be used on damp loads, as it is NOT a drying programme.
Starting a Programme (Green Active light)
Press the Start button and the indicator light turns Green to show that the programme is active. The light goes out when the selector is returned to position '0', or if the door is opened during the programme's duration.
CAUTION:
If the door is opened during the cycle, the dryer stops automatically. When the door is closed the Start button must be pressed to restart the programme. The light flashes green to remind you to press the Start button. The cycle resumes from the point it stopped, if the position of the knob has not been changed. Otherwise, the dryer starts the new selection.
Empty Water light
The indicator light turns Orange during a drying programme when the water container is full. When this happens, you must empty the water container. You should not wait for this light to change colour before emptying the container, but empty it after each load (see section 'Emptying the Water Container').
The programme goes directly to the cool tumble phase and the dryer stops. The Orange light warns you that the load will not be dried correctly.
At the end of a drying programme if the container has filled the indicator light will glow Red. Empty the water container and start the programme again by pressing the Start button.
The indicator light goes off (or turns Green if a programme is running) about 10 seconds after the water container has been put back.
The 'Cool Tumble' phase
About 10 minutes before the programme is completed, the heating elements will be switched off, the programme enters the final ‘Cool Tumble’ phase. During this period, the fabric is cooled. You should always allow the dryer to complete this phase. By opening the door, you can check the dryness of the load as often as you wish and if you want to, remove some items before they are fully dry. (This is particularly useful for a mixed load when you want to iron some items, but others to be fully dried). You will need to press the Start button after closing the door to re-start the programme.
Sorting your laundry
- Always separate laundry into the correct fabric groups before washing and drying.
- See that all zips are closed, hooks and eyes are fastened and belt, strings etc. are tied loosely in bows, you will normally have done this for each item before the washing stage.
- It is important to extract as much water as possible from each item before drying. This saves you time and money.
WARNING: CLOTHES SHOULD NEVER BE LOADED DRIPPING WET
- Make sure that the items to be dried are suitable for tumble drying, or are not of a type requiring ‘special attention’ (see “Wash Care Labels” section).
Maximum load size
Your dryer will hold a load of 6kg (13lb) dry weight of natural fabrics. if you are drying items of man-made fibres (synthetic or acrylics), the maximum load should not exceed 3kg (6.6lb) dry weight.
This difference is that man-made fibres require more space to tumble-dry without creasing.
WARNING: DO NOT OVERLOAD AS THIS COULD RESULT IN REDUCED DRYING PERFORMANCE AND A POSSIBLE FIRE HAZARD.
Typical load
To help you estimate how many items it takes to make up a drying load, the charts below show the approximate weights of some everyday washing items.
| Clothes | |
| Blouse Cotton 150g 5ozOther 100g 3 ^1/2 oz | |
| Dress Cotton 500g 1lb 2ozOther 350g 12oz | |
| Jeans 700g 1lb 6oz | |
| 10 Nappies 1000g 2lb 3oz | |
| Shirt Cotton 300g 10 ^1/2 OZOther 200g 7oz | |
| T-Shirt 125g 4 ^1/2 OZ |
| Household Items | |
| Duvet cover Cotton 1500g 3lb 5oz(Double) Other 1000g 2lb 3oz | |
| Large Tablecloth 700g 1lb 6oz | |
| Small Tablecloth | 250g 9oz |
| Tea Towel | 100g 3^1/2 oz |
| Bath Towel | 700g 1lb 8oz |
| Hand Towel | 350g 12oz |
| Double Sheet | 500g 1lb 2oz |
| Single Sheet | 350g 12oz |
If you group small cotton or terry-towelling items with a synthetic fabric load they could be damp at the end of the drying cycle. If this happens simply give them an additional short period of drying to finish them off.
Wash Care Labels
Most of today's fabrics can be tumble dried in your Dryer with no trouble at all, but there are certain fabric finishes which should be dried away from direct heat.
The majority of garments now have wash-care labels on them, giving full washing and drying instructions. These should always be followed carefully especially when you are drying something for the first time.
Typical symbols are:
May be tumble dried
Do not tumble dry
Or:
Tumble dry at high heat setting
Tumble dry at low heat setting
Items not suitable for tumble drying
- Those containing foam rubber or rubber-like materials or plastic film (e.g. pillows, cushions, PVC rainwear), or any other articles which are inflammable or contain inflammable substances (e.g. towels contaminated with hair lacquer
- Fibreglass (e.g. some types of curtains)
- Items which have been dry cleaned
- Woollens. Woollen items need as much care in drying as they do in washing. The movement of the tumble-drying action causes the woollen fibre to shrink and distort.
- Garments with the ITCL Code (see ‘Items Requiring Special Attention’).
Do not tumble dry.
- Large bulky items e.g. continental quilts, sleeping bags, pillows, cushions, double blankets and large bedspreads. These expand when drying and would prevent airflow through the Dryer.
WARNING: THE DRYER IS INTENDED FOR USE ONLY WHERE WATER SOLUTION IS USED FOR THE CLEANING PROCESS. MISUSE OF A TUMBLE DRYER MAY CREATE A FIRE HAZARD.
Items requiring special attention
| Blankets and Bedspreads | The drying requirements of blankets and bedspreads will, of course, vary tremendously according to size and weight. Some, however are simply too big. if you have difficulty getting them into the Dryer, the machine will have difficulty drying them properly. Blankets (and Garments) made from Acrylic fibres (e.g. Acilan, Courtelle, Orion and Dralon) must be dried with special care on Low heat setting. Overdrying should be avoided to ensure heat creasing does not occur. |
| Permanently pleated or creased garments | Your dryer will cope with such clothes very well, but you should always read the manufacturer's drying instructions attached to the garment before you begin. |
| Starched articles | Starched articles should be dried together in the same load to avoid the distribution of starch to non-starched items. You should use a slightly heavier starch solution than you would when drying the items on the washing line. Make sure that as much of the solution is removed from the load as possible before placing it in the Dryer. Remove the items from the dryer as soon as they reach ironing dampness. If they are overdried the starch will powder, leaving the fabric limp - which rather defeats the purpose of the exercise! |
| Fabric conditioner | To make sure all your tumble dried clothes come out really fresh and soft we recommend you use a liquid fabric conditioner in the final rinse of your wash. A liquid fabric conditioner restores bounce and softness and helps eliminate static cling.WARNING: ON NO ACCOUNT SHOULD LIQUID FABRIC CONDITIONER BE ADDED TO THE DRYER ITSELF. |
| Home Dry Cleaning | Garments with the ITCL Code may be cleaned using one of the Home Dry Cleaning Kits available.The instructions supplied with the Home Dry Cleaning Kit must be strictly followed. |
Emptying the Water Container
Empty the water container after EVERY programme. Failure to do this will result in the water container becoming full and the load will not dry.
To Empty Water Container
Remove plinth (where fitted) by slightly lifting and sliding to the left.
Pull the container out of the dryer and empty it into a sink (or other suitable drain).
If your dryer is stacked on top of a Washing Machine, the Tumble Dryer can be plumbed into the drain by attaching a suitable tube to the stub at the rear of the dryer, after removing the blanking cap. When plumbed into a drain the water container does not need to be emptied.
Speedy Iron Programme
'Speedy Iron' provides a short programme consisting of approximately 7.5 minutes of heat with an approximately 2.5 minutes cool tumble period. It is a short conditioning programme that softens the fibres allowing them to relax making handling and ironing easier and less time consuming.
When to use 'Speedy Iron'
However garments are dried, outside on the line, inside on a radiator, hung around the home or using a tumble dryer, once dry they usually get left in the same position/place for a long period of time. This tends to cause garment fibre stiffness which can make the handling of garments difficult and therefore the ironing time longer. Garments dried in any of the ways described above and left will benefit from the 'Speedy Iron' programme.
Important!
- The ‘Speedy Iron’ cycle is not a drying programme. It has been designed to condition/soften garments that have already been dried and left unattended in this state for a period of time.
- All materials do not behave in exactly the same way when heated. For instance, our testing has shown that materials such as Tencel® and Acrylics are not relaxed quite as effectively by applying the 'Speedy Iron' cycle as we found on the more traditional Cottons and Polycottons.
- To obtain the best results from ‘Speedy Iron’ it is important that the weights recommended below are not exceeded and HIGH heat is selected. (Heat switch IN).
- For best results We recommend garments should be removed from the dryer immediately after the ‘Speedy Iron’ programme to be hung, folded neatly or ironed. When this is not possible the ‘Speedy Iron’ programme should be repeated.
Recommended weights and materials
| Material Maximum load | ||
| Cotton and Cotton mixtures | 2.5kg | 5.5lb |
| Synthetics | 2kg | 4.4lb |
| Denim | 2kg | 4.4lb |
Guide to drying times
| Please note that the drying times stated below and on appliance control panel; are a GUIDE only and drying times are affected by:- | |
| The amount of water remaining in the clothes after spinning | Items such as towelling retain a lot of water after spinning, also the suggested wash programme for small items such as T-Shirts may sometimes incorporate a low spin speed which has the same effect. |
| The type of fabric | Your drying load may contain the same type of fabric but of different thicknesses. Thinner items will take less time to dry. Some fabrics, such as those used for jeans are of closer texture than others and although light when dry will be heavy after washing and spinning. |
| The quantity of clothes to be dried | Single items of clothes or small loads may take disproportionately longer to dry. It is more energy efficient to dry larger loads. |
| How dry you want the clothes | As it takes longer to fully dry clothes than to have them ready for ironing, you may wish to remove some clothes when they are slightly damp, ready for ironing and then continue to dry the remainder until they are fully dry. |
| The heat setting you have selected | The label on the garment should tell you the correct heat setting to select. See ‘Wash Care Labels’. |
| The temperature of the room | If the room in which the dryer is situated is cold, your clothes will take longer to dry than if the room is warm. |
| Bulky items | Some bulky items such as padded jackets can be dried, with care, and we do advise that you remove these items several times, shake them and return them to the dryer.THERE ARE HOWEVER SOME ITEMS THAT WE DO NOT ADVISE YOU TO DRY. SEE ‘ITEMS NOT SUITABLE FOR TUMBLE DRY-ING’ |

Be careful not to overdry
All fabrics contain a little natural moisture even when 'dry' and this natural moisture should not be lost if the clothes are to remain soft and fluffy.
Clothes that are dried for too long tend to wrinkle and will need more ironing than usual, giving you extra work that the Dryer was designed to remove.
Caring for your Dryer
| When finished | Your Tumble Dryer needs very little attention. The following simple steps will keep it performing well.Switch off electricity and remove plug. Ensure hands are dry. |
| After each load | Always clean the filter, by rinsing under the tap or using a vacuum cleaner. Turn the dryer by hand to check that small items like hand- kerchiefs do not get missed. |
| Every Week | Wipe the drum and seal with a damp cloth. |
 | |
| Every Month | Remove condenser unit and clean any build up of fluff from between the plates by rinsing it under the tap with cold water. This should be done with cold water from the rear of the condenser. Refit with the handle at the front. |
| Automatic Dryers only | Occasionally clean the surface of the stainless steel sensor inside the drum with vinegar to remove water contaminates. Apply carefully with a cloth this will maintain the drying performance of the dryer. The sensor is located between the vanes of the drum towards the front of the dryer, rotate the drum if necessary to locate it. |
| Cleaning | Every 6 months vacuum the front air intake grille and Vents at the rear of the dryer, to remove the build up of fluff, lint or dust.To remove accumulation of fluff from the door, front of condenser and filter areas, clean occasionally with a vacuum cleaner. |
| Do not use | Abrasive cleaners, scouring agents, acids, chlorine bleach or metal polish to clean any part of the machine. |
| Lubrication | Your tumble dryer uses special bearing components. Lubrication by the user is not necessary and must not be attempted.We strongly recommend that all appliances are regularly checked for electrical and mechanical safety. |
