If the laundry is spin-dried in a washing machine at less than 500 rpm, the residual dampness will be higher and consequently the drying time should be increased.
This applies particularly to laundry consisting primarily of towels.
If the laundry is spin-dried at more than 1200 rpm, the residual dampness will be lower and consequently the drying time should be decreased.
HINTS & TIPS ON DRYING
Before placing articles of laundry in your tumble dryer, check the care labels to ensure they are recommended for tumble drying
Care labels you may find on your laundry
| Suitable for tumble drying | |
| Tumble dry using full heat | |
| Tumble dry using half heat | |
| Do not tumble dry |
Do not overload the appliance
Here is a list of the approximate weight of some common laundry items:
Sheet 700 to 1000g
Pillowcase ....100 to 200g
Tablecloth 400 to 500g
Table Napkin ....50 to 100g
Kitchen Towel 70 to 120g
Linen Hand Towel....100 to 150g
Hand Towel 150 to 250g
Bath Towel 700 to 1000g
Bathrobe 1000 to 1500g
Shirt 200 to 300g
Apron....150 to 200g
- Always load well spun laundry. The higher the spin speed the lower the electricity consumption and the shorter the drying time.
- DO NOT load dripping wet laundry into the dryer. Roll the article in a towel or spin to remove excess water.
- Close poppers and zips and fasten any buttons.
- Sort the laundry. Separate synthetics from cottons/linens, and dry separately.
- Remove the laundry immediately after the programme has finished or select the Anti-crease option.
- Use a fabric conditioning sheet to reduce static. We recommend the sheet is pinned to an article of laundry (using a safety pin).
• Mix the load i.e. large and small articles. - When drying items such as sheets, we recommend you periodically stop the dryer to redistribute the load.
DO NOT use the tumble dryer to dry the following:
- Articles contaminated with inflammable substances e.g. petrol, cleaning solvents, cooking oil, fats or hair lacquer.
- Woollen and synthetic wool mixtures unless the item is labelled as suitable for tumble drying.
• Very delicate articles such as silk - Very large and bulky items such as duvets or sleeping bags.
OPERATING SEQUENCE
1. Loading the laundry
- Open the door by pulling it outwards
- Load the items one at a time, shaking them out loosely.
- Where possible mix the load, i.e. large and small items.
- Close the door.
- Dry your hands and plug in the appliance.
natural_image

- Select the temperature
- Select the required drying time
i Use the programme guide to help you select the correct drying time and temperature.
i The machine will now start working. It will rotate in a clockwise direction, and will periodically rotate anti-clockwise for approximately 20 seconds, which helps to prevent tangling.
- To shorten a timed programme, turn the time selector dial clockwise past the off position until the correct time is reached, bearing in mind that during the last 12 minutes the dryer carries out the cooling phase.
natural_image

• The machine stops automatically
- Remove the laundry
- Switch off the machine
There is an automatic 12 minute cool down period at the end of every cycle, during which the heater is switched off. This helps to minimise creasing.
Never switch the dryer off and leave a ad in the drum.
The filter must be cleaned after every drying programme.
We recommend the machine is disconnected from the electricity supply when not in use.
MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING
Disconnect the appliance from the electricity supply before carrying out any maintenance or cleaning.
Never use abrasive cleaning products or cleaning agents which contain bleach, acetone, alcohol or methylated spirits.
External Cleaning
Periodically wipe the outside of the appliance, using only water and a soft cloth. Dry thoroughly.
Cleaning the Lint Filter
Your dryer will only function well if the filter is clean.
The filter collects fluff which accumulates during drying and it must therefore be removed and cleaned at the end of each programme.
To remove the filter:
- Pull the filter upwards and away from the appliance.
- Remove any threads of fluff by hand or with a soft brush
- Slide the filter back into position.
Wash the filter occasionally in detergent solution using a soft brush to remove any small particles.

The lint filter must be cleaned after every drying cycle.
Keep the air inlets at the front and back of the appliance clear.
natural_image
Hand holding a toothbrush applying product to a rectangular block (no text or symbols visible)Cleaning the Door
Wipe the interior part of the door to remove any fluff.
The condenser and ducting should be cleaned 3 or 4 times a year or more frequently if the dryer is in constant use.
The condenser will discolour through use. This will not affect the performance of the appliance.
For maximum efficiency, the plates are made from very thin aluminium and are easily damaged. Do not try to poke anything between the plates or use a hard object or toll for cleaning. At all times, handle the condenser carefully and avoid crushing the plates.

- Do not install the appliance where the temperature may fall below freezing or rise above 35°C.
• Do not use a two way electrical adaptor or extension lead. The dryer must be connected to its own socket.
• Please ensure that when the appliance is installed it is easily accessible for the engineer in the event of a breakdown.
• Hot air emitted by the tumble dryer can reach temperatures of up to 60^ C. The flooring on which the tumble dryer is installed must therefore be heat resistant to a minimum of 60^ C.
The plug must be accessible after installation.
Venting - This appliance contains a retractable vent hose which must be extended to an open door or window during use.
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
Before switching on make sure the electricity supply voltage is the same as that indicated on the appliance rating plate. The rating plate is located on the back panel of your tumble dryer.
CHANGING A FUSE
'Your tumble dryer will be fitted with one of two plugs. When replacing the fuse, always use ASTA approved 13A fuses to British Standard 1362.
Type 1: Prise out the fuse cover (A) with fuse (B). Change the fuse and refit both to the plug.
Important - The fuse cover must be refitted when changing a fuse. If the fuse cover is lost, the plug should not be used until a correct replacement is fitted. Replacements are identified by the colour insert or the colour embossed in words on the base of the plug. They are available from most electrical retail shops.
Type 2: Prise up the hinged fuse cover (A) as shown.
Replace the fuse and press the cover back into place.
FITTING A REPLACEMENT PLUG
Should the plug need to be replaced for any reason the wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code:
Blue - Neutral 'N'
Brown - Live 'L'
Green and Yellow - Earth 'E'
The GREEN & YELLOW wire must be connected to the terminal in the plug which is marked with the letter 'E' or by the earth symbol or coloured green or green and yellow.
The BLUE wire must be connected to the terminal marked with the letter 'N' or coloured black.
The BROWN wire must be connected to the terminal that is marked with the letter 'L' or coloured red.
A cut off plug inserted into a 13 amp socket is a serious safety (shock) hazard. Ensure that the cut off plug is disposed of safely.
