Installation  
Permanent venting  
Where to put your dryer  
GB  
In conjunction with the vent tube we recommend  
using a Wall/Window Vent Kit, available at a retail  
location or the nearest Spare Parts Dealer.  
Place your dryer at a distance from gas ranges,  
stoves, heaters, or cook tops because flames can  
damage the appliance.  
If you are going to install the

appliance under a work  
1. Leave an opening in  
the wall to the left of the  
dryers proposed position.  
2. Keep the tube as short  
and straight as possible  
to prevent condensed  
moisture from backing up  
into the dryer.  
3. Similarly, the duct in  
the wall should slope  
downwards towards the  
outside.  
counter, be sure to leave a  
10mm space between the  
top and any other objects on  
or above the machine and a  
15mm space between the  
sides and lateral furnishings  
Minimum gaps  
15mm  
or walls. This is to ensure  
proper air circulation. Make sure that the back  
vents are not obstructed.  
Make sure you put your dryer in an environment  
that is not damp and has proper air circulation  
throughout, the dryer will not operate efficiently in  
an enclosed space or cupboard.  
Window mounting  
1. With a stacked dryer  
the hole in the window  
should ideally be made  
below the vent.  
! We do not recommend that the dryer is installed in a  
cupboard but the dryer must never be installed  
behind a lockable door, a sliding door or a door with a  
hinge on the opposite side to that of the dryer door.  
2. The tube should be  
kept as short as possible.  
Ventilation  
The Dryer dries your laundry by drawing in cool, clean  
and relatively dry air, heating it, and then distributing it  
through the clothes as they are gently tumbled. For  
optimum performance, the moist air is then blown out  
through a vent tube at the back of the dryer.  
When the dryer is in use, there has to be adequate  
ventilation to avoid the back flow of gases into the room  
from appliances burning other fuels, including open fires.  
Depending on how often you use your dryer, it is  
essential that areas A and B are checked periodically  
to remove lint or debris.  
The vent tube adaptor must be fitted securely thus  
preventing any humid air from being emitted back into  
the room.  
! The Dryer should not be pushed so far back that the  
tube adaptor is pulled out of position or the tube is  
squashed or bent.  
Mobile venting  
! The tube should be kept clear of the air intake vent  
and kinks or ‘U’ bends must be avoided as these will  
obstruct the tube or trap condensation.  
A vent tube must always be fitted when the dryer is  
used in conjunction with Mobile Venting.  
The tube must be fitted securely into the back of the  
dryer (see Dryer Description). If possible, it is always  
best to connect the tube to a permanent  
outlet close to the dryer. If permanent installation is  
not possible, the dryer will work just as well with the  
tube passing through a partly-opened window.  
! Ensure that the end of the tube is not directed  
toward the air intake vent at the rear of the dryer.  
! The vent tube should not exceed 2.4 metres in  
length and should be kept free of any possible  
accumulation of fluff, lint and water by shaking it out  
frequently. Always ensure that the tube is not  
squashed.

! If the plug being replaced is a non-rewirable type,  
then the cut-off plug must be disposed of safely. DO  
NOT leave it where it can be inserted into a socket  
and create a shock hazard.  
! The power supply cord should be checked periodically  
and replaced by a cord specially prepared for this  
dryer and fitted only by authorised technicians (see  
Service). New or longer power cords are supplied at  
an extra charge by authorised dealers.  
Electrical connections  
! The manufacturer denies any responsibility should  
any of these rules not be followed.  
! If in doubt about any of the above consult a qualified  
electrician.  
Make sure of the following before you insert the plug  
into the the electrical socket:  
The socket must be grounded.  
The socket must be able to sustain the machines  
maximum power, which is indicated on the rating  
label (see Dryer Description).  
Levelling your dryer  
The dryer must be installed level for correct operation.  
When you have installed your  
dryer in its final location check  
that it is level first side to side,  
then front to back.  
Power voltage must be within the values indicated  
on the rating label (see Dryer Description).  
The socket must be compatible with the dryers  
plug. Should this not be the case, replace the  
plug or the socket.  
! The dryer must not be installed outdoors, even if the  
space is sheltered. It can be very dangerous if it is  
exposed to rain or storms.  
! Once installed, the dryers electrical wire and plug  
must be within easy reach.  
If the dryer is not level, use a  
wooden block to  
support it while adjusting the two  
front legs up or down, until your  
dryer is level.  
! Do not use extension cords.  
! The power cord must not be bent or squashed.  
! The power cord supplied is fitted with a BS1363 plug  
and a 13 amp BS1362 fuse. If you need to replace the  
fuse, use only those rated at 13 amp (13A) and ASTA  
approved to BS1362.  
Before you start using your dryer  
Once you have installed your dryer and before you  
use it, clean the inside of the drum to remove any dust  
that could have accumulated during transport.

different textures and thicknesses may not have  
the same drying time.  
Starched articles: do not dry these with non-starched  
items. Make sure that as much of the starch solution is  
removed from the load as possible before placing it in  
the dryer. Do not over-dry: the starch will become  
powdery and leave your clothing limp, which defeats  
the purpose of starch.  
Quantity of laundry: single items or small loads  
may take longer to dry.  
Dryness: If you are going to iron some of your  
clothes, they can be taken out while still a bit  
damp. Others can be left longer if you need them  
to be completely dry.

Warnings and Suggestions  
To minimise the risk of fire in your tumble dryer, the  
! The appliance has been designed and built according  
to international safety standards.  
These warnings are given for safety reasons and must  
be followed carefully.  
GB  
following should be observed:  
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  
General safety  
chemical products.  
Do not tumble dry items that have been spotted or  
This tumble dryer is not intended for use by  
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.  
persons (including children) with reduced physical,  
sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience  
and knowledge, unless they have been given  
supervision or instruction concerning use of the  
appliance by a person responsible for their safety.  
This tumble dryer has been designed for home,  
and not professional use.  
Do not touch the appliance while barefoot or with  
wet hands or feet.  
Unplug the machine by pulling on the plug, not  
the cord.  
Children must not be in proximity of the dryer  
when in use. After using the dryer, turn it off and  
unplug it. Keep the door closed to make sure that  
children do not use it as a toy.  
Children should be supervised to ensure that they  
do not play with the dryer.  
The appliance must be installed correctly and  
have proper ventilation. The air intake vents  
behind the machine, the outlet vents and the vent  
tube should never be obstructed (see Installation).  
Never direct the vent tube outlet towards the air  
intake at the back of the machine.  
Never allow the tumble dryer to recycle exhaust air.  
Never use the dryer on carpeting where the pile  
height would prevent air from entering the dryer  
from the base.  
Check to see if the dryer is empty before loading it.  
The back of the dryer could become very  
hot. Never touch it while in use.  
Do not use the dryer unless the filter is securely  
in place (see Maintenance).  
Do not overload the dryer (see Laundry) for  
maximum loads.  
Do not load items that are dripping wet.  
Carefully check all instructions on clothing labels  
(see Laundry).  
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  
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.  
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 waterproof 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 large, very bulky items.  
Do not tumble dry acrylic fibres at high temperatures.  
Complete each programme with its Cool Tumble Phase.  
Do not turn off the dryer when there are still warm  
items inside.  
Clean the filter after each use (see Maintenance).  
Do not allow lint to collect around the dryer.  
Never climb on top of the dryer. It could result in  
damage.  
Always follow electrical standards and requirements  
(see Installation).  
Always buy original spare parts and accessories  
(see Service).  
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.!  
Saving energy and respecting the  
environment  
Wring out items to eliminate excess water before  
tumble drying (if you use a washing machine first,  
select a high spin cycle). Doing this will save time  
and energy during drying.  
Always dry full loads - you save energy: single  
items or small loads take longer to dry.  
Clean the filter after each use to contain energy  
consumption costs (see Maintenance).

it accumulates lint and fluff that is formed while drying.  
Small items could also become trapped in the filter.  
When finished drying, therefore, 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.  
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.
