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.  
DO NOT use 2-way adaptors or extension leads.

Indicator Lamp  
The indicator lamp turns orange during a drying programme when  
the water container is full. When this happens, you must empty the  
water container. The programme goes directly to the cooling phase  
and the dryer stops. The orange light warns you that the load will not  
be dried correctly. Empty the water container and start the  
programme again by pressing the start button.  
At the end of the drying programme if the water container has filled  
the indicator lamp will glow red. A programme cannot be started  
when the lamp is red.  
The indicator lamp goes off (or turns green if a programme is  
running) a few seconds after the empty water container has been put  
back.  
If this light flashes it shows that an automatic programme has  
exceeded 180 minutes. For safety reasons this being the maximum  
drying time available.  
Should this occur, the causes may be:  
The load is too big, or bulky.  
The filter is blocked.  
A cotton load was spun at LOW speed.  
There may be a fault.  
Turn the dryer Off, check through the first three causes, and then try  
again.  
Cool Tumble  
phase  
About 10 minutes before the programme is completed, the heating  
elements will be switched off, and the programme enters the final  
‘Cool Drying’ phase. During this phase, 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 remove some items before they are fully  
dry. (This is particularly useful for a mixed load where 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. See previous page.  
Crease Care  
phase  
At the end of the drying programme it may not be convenient to take  
out the clothes immediately. Do not worry, the dryer will protect your  
clothes from creasing by gently turning them over occasionally by  
means of a few revolutions of the drum. At the same time, if you have  
not cancelled the Alarm (Buzzer) a warning buzz will sound  
intermittently to remind you that the clothes are ready to take out.

Easy Iron Programme  
‘Easy Iron’ provides a short programme consisting of approximately 8  
minutes of heat with an approximately 2 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.  
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  
‘Easy Iron’ programme.  
When to use  
‘Easy Iron’  
The ‘Easy 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 ‘Easy Iron’ cycle as we found on the more traditional  
Cottons and Polycottons.  
Important!  
To obtain the best results from ‘Easy Iron’ it is important that the  
weights recommended below are not exceeded.  
For best results We recommend garments should be  
removed from the dryer immediately after the ‘Easy Iron’  
programme to be hung, folded neatly or ironed.  
When this is not possible the ‘Easy Iron’ programme should  
be repeated.

Sorting your laundry  
1. Always separate laundry into the correct fabric groups before  
washing and drying.  
2. 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.  
3. 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  
4. 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.

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  
Your dryer will cope with such clothes very well, but you should  
pleated or creased always read the manufacturer’s drying instructions attached to the  
garments  
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.

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 disproportionally  
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 DRYING’

Be careful not  
to overdry  
All fabrics contain a little natural moisture even when ‘dry’ and this nat-  
ural 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  
Your Tumble Dryer needs very little attention. The following simple  
steps will keep it performing well.  
When finished  
After each load  
Switch off electricity and remove plug. Ensure hands are dry.  
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. Always empty the water container.  
Every Week  
Wipe the drum and seal with a damp cloth.  
Fluff filter  
Sensor  
Tap  
Rear  
Front  
Condenser  
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.  
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 approx 50mm (2") round and 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  
Lubrication  
Abrasive cleaners, scouring agents, acids, chlorine bleach or metal  
polish to clean any part of the machine.  
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.

If something goes wrong  
First, don’t panic! There may be nothing wrong at all. Look for your  
problem below, then check the things we suggest. More often than  
not, this will give you the answer to your problem, and you’ll be able  
to carry on without having to telephone your Service Office.  
If after this you still cannot get your machine to work, follow the  
advice given on the next page.  
Problem  
Check these things first  
‘It won’t start’  
1. Is the machine plugged in and switched on at the socket?  
2. Is the Control set to required programme?  
3. Is the door securely closed?  
4. Have you pressed the START button?  
5. Has the fuse blown? (Try plugging in another appliance to check).  
6. Have you used an extension lead? Many are not suitable. Try  
plugging the dryer directly into a socket to check.  
‘It is taking a long  
time to dry’  
1. Have you forgotten to clean the filter? It should be cleaned after  
each load.  
2. Does the water container need emptying?  
Is the Indicator lamp glowing red / orange?  
The bottle should be emptied after every load.  
3. Does the Condenser need cleaning? It should be cleaned every  
month.  
4. Have you selected the correct programme setting for the type of  
fabric you are drying?  
5. Have the air intake grille or rear vents of the Dryer been  
obstructed?  
6. Were the clothes ‘excessively wet’ when they were put in?  
7. Was the correct programme selected?  
8. Have you overloaded the dryer?  
‘The Dryer is  
tumbling  
occasionally’  
This is perfectly normal - it means that the Dryer is on ‘Crease Care’  
and has reached the end of the drying cycle and the clothes are  
ready to take out.  
‘The dryer keeps  
bleeping’  
This is perfectly normal, the dryer is on ‘Crease Care’ as above.
