Warnings
To minimise the risk of fire in your
tumble dryer, the following should be
observed:
or explosive substances. Highly flammable
substances commonly used in domestic
environments including cooking oil,
acetone, denatured alcohol, kerosene,
spot removers, turpentine, waxes and
wax removers. Ensure these items have
been washed in hot water with an extra
amount of detergent before being dried
in the tumble dryer.
Do not tumble dry items containing foam
rubber (also known as latex foam), or
similarly textured rubber like materials.
Foam rubber materials can, when
heated, produce fire by spontaneous
combustion.
Fabric softener or similar products
should not be used in a tumble dryer to
eliminate the effects of static electricity
unless the practice is specifically
recommended by the manufacturer of
the fabric softener product.
GB
●
Tumble dry items only if they have been
washed with detergent and water, rinsed
and been through the spin cycle. It is a
fire hazard to dry items that HAVE NOT
been washed with water.
●
Do not dry garments that have been
treated with chemical products.
●
●
●
●
Do not tumble dry items that have been
spotted or soaked with vegetable or
cooking oils, this constitutes a fire hazard.
Oil-affected items can ignite spontaneously,
especially when exposed to heat sources
such as a tumble dryer. The items become
warm, causing an oxidisation reaction with
the oil, Oxidisation creates heat. If the heat
cannot escape, items can become hot
enough to catch fire. Piling, stacking or
storing oil-effected items can prevent heat
from escaping and so create a fire hazard.
If it is unavoidable that fabrics containing
vegetable or cooking oil or those that have
been contaminated with hair care products
be placed in a tumble dryer they should
first be washed with extra detergent - this
will reduce, but not eliminate the hazard.
The cool tumble phase should be used to
reduce the temperature of the items. They
should not be removed from the dryer and
piled or stacked while hot.
Do not tumble dry undergarments that
contain metal reinforcements eg. bras
with metal reinforcing wires. Damage to
the tumble dryer can result if the metal
reinforcements come loose during drying.
Do not tumble dry rubber, plastic articles
such as shower caps or babies water
proof covers, polythene or paper.
Do not tumble dry rubber backed
articles, clothes fitted with foam rubber
pads, pillows, galoshes and rubber
coated tennis shoes.
●
●
●
Do not tumble dry items that have
previously been cleaned in or washed in,
soaked in or soiled with petrol/gasoline,
dry cleaning solvents or other flammable
●
Remove all objects from pockets,
especially lighters (risk of explosion).
! WARNING: Never stop the dryer before the end of the drying cycle unless all items are
quickly removed and spread out so that the heat is dissipated.

Maintenance and Care
Switching off the electricity
! Failure to empty the water container may cause
the following:
GB
! Unplug your dryer when not using it,
when cleaning it and during all
maintenance operations.
- The dryer will stop heating (so the load may still
be damp at the end of the drying cycle).
●
Priming the water collection system
When your dryer is new, the water container will not
collect water until the system is primed.
This will take 1 or 2 drying cycles. Once primed it will
collect water during every drying cycle.
Clean the filter after each cycle
The filter is an important
part of your dryer:
it accumulates lint and
fluff that is formed while
drying.
Cleaning the heat pump filter unit
Periodically (every 5 drying cycles) remove
the heat pump filter unit and clean any
build up of fluff from the surface of the filter.
However, we recommend that you clean
this filter after EVERY drying cycle to
optimise the dryers performance.
When finished drying, clean the filter by
rinsing it under running water or with your
vacuum cleaner. Should the filter become
clogged up, the airflow inside the dryer will
be seriously compromised: drying times
lengthen and you will consume more
energy. It may also damage your dryer.
To removing the heat pump filter unit:
1. Unplug the dryer and open the door.
2. Pull open the heat pump filter unit cover
(see diagram on next page).
Release the 4 clips to the vertical position
then pull the filter unit towards you.
3. Separate the two parts
The filter is found in front of the dryer trim
(see diagram on next page).
Removing the filter:
of the filter and clean
the surface of the filter.
1. Pull the plastic grip of
the filter upwards.
2. Clean the filter and
replace it correctly.
Ensure the filter is fully
located flush into
the tumble dryer trim.
! The front of the heat pump is made
from thin metal plates. Take care that you
do not damage these or cut yourself when
cleaning, removing or replacing the heat
pump filter unit.
! Do not use the dryer without replacing
the filter.
Empty the water container after each
cycle
4. If there is any build up of fluff on the
plates, carefully clean this off with a damp
cloth, sponge or a vacuum cleaner. Never
use your fingers.
5. Reassemble the two parts of the filter,
clean the seals and replace with the 4
clips in the horizontal position, make
sure that the catches are secure.
Pull the container out of the dryer
and empty it into a sink or other
suitable drain.
Replace the water container
securely.
! Always check and empty the container before you
start a new drying programme.

Remember to clean the door filter and
heat pump filter after each load.
Remember to empty the water container
after each load.
●
Cleaning the drum
! Doing BOTH the above will keep your
appliance working at its BEST.
! Do not use abrasives, steel wool or stainless steel
cleaning agents to clean the drum.
A coloured film may start to appear on the stainless
steel drum, this may be caused by a combination of
water and, or cleaning agents such as fabric conditioner
from the wash. This coloured film will not affect the
dryer performance.

●
External parts in metal or plastic and rubber parts
can be cleaned with a damp cloth.
Periodically (every 6 months) vacuum the front air
●
intake grille and vents at the rear of the dryer, to
remove any build up of fluff, lint or dust. Also to
remove accumulation of fluff from the front of the

! Your dryer uses special bearing components which
do not need lubrication.
! Have your dryer checked regularly by authorised
technicians to ensure electrical and mechanical safety
(see Service).

Easy Iron Programme
‘Easy Iron’ is a short 10 minute programme (8 minutes of heat followed by a 2 minute cool tumble period) which
fluffs the fibres of clothing that have been left in the same position/location for an extended period of time. The cycle
relaxes the fibres and makes them easier to iron and fold.
! ‘Easy Iron’ is not a drying programme and should not be used for wet articles of clothing.
For best results: 1. Do not load more than the maximum capacity. These numbers refer to the dry weight:
Fabric
Maximum load
Cotton and Cotton mixtures
Synthetics
2.5kg
2kg
Denim
2kg
2. Unload the dryer immediately after the end of the programme, hang, fold or iron the articles
and put them away in the closet. Should this not be possible repeat the programme.
The ‘Easy Iron’ effect varies from one fabric to the next. It works well on traditional fabrics like Cotton or Cotton mix,
and less well on acrylic fibres and on materials such as Tencel®.
Refresh
! ‘Refresh’ is not a drying programme and should not be used for wet articles of clothing.
●
It can be used on any load size but is more effective on smaller loads.
●
Do not overload your dryer (see Laundry).
●
This is a 20 minute programme that airs your clothes with cool air. Also use to cool warm clothes.

Spare Parts
GB
This dryer is a complex machine. Repairing it yourself
or having a non-authorised person try to repair it could
cause harm to one or more persons, could damage
the machine and could invalidate the spare parts
warranty.
This dryer is fitted with a sealed heat pump system to
dry your clothes. To operate, the heat pump contains
fluorinated greenhouse gases (F gases) which are
covered by the Kyoto Protocol. These F gases are
contained in a hermetically sealed unit. This sealed
unit contains 0.29kg of the F gas R134a which acts as
a refrigerant.
Call an authorised technician if you experience problems
while using the machine.
If the sealed unit fails then it must be replaced by a
new sealed unit. Contact your nearest Service Centre
for advice.
●
Please note: it is an offence for an unqualified
person to undertake any servicing or repair work that
involves breaking into the sealed heat pump unit.
●
Note: The gases contained in the sealed system
are not hazardous to health, but if they escape they
will have an impact on global warming.
Before calling the Service Centre:
●
Use the troubleshooting guide to see if you can
solve the problem yourself (see Troubleshooting).
If not, turn off the dryer and call the Service Centre

closest to you.
