the electrical socket:  
GB  
• Place your dryer at a distance  
from gas ranges, stoves,  
heaters, or cooktops because  
flames can damage the  
• Ensure your Hands are dry.  
• 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).  
• Power voltage must be within the values indicated on the  
rating label (see Dryer Description).

If you are going to install the  
appliance under a work counter,  
be sure to leave a 10 mm  
15 mm  
15 mm  
• The socket must be compatible with the dryers plug.  
Should this not be the case, replace the plug or the socket.  
! Do not use extension cords.  
!The dryer must not be installed outdoors, even if the space is  
sheltered. It can be very dangerous if exposed to rain or storms.  
! Once installed, the dryers electrical wire and plug must  
be within reach.  
space between the top and any  
other objects on or above the  
machine and a 15 mm space  
between the sides and lateral  
furnishings or walls. This is to ensure proper air circulation.  
Ventilation  
! The power cord must not be bent or squashed.  
! The power cord is supplied fitted with a BS1363 plug  
and with a 13 amp BS1362 fuse. If it is necessary to fit a  
replacement fuse, it must be a 13 Amp ASTA approved to  
BS1362 type. WARNING: The plug must not be used  
without a fuse cover.  
If a replacement fuse holder/cover is required, it must be of the  
same colour coding or wording as shown on the base of the plug.  
Replacements are available from authorised dealers.  
• When the dryer is in use, there has to be adequate  
ventilation. Make sure you put your dryer in an environment  
that is not damp and has proper air circulation throughout.  
Airflow around the dryer is essential to condense the water  
produced during the washing, the dryer will not operate  
efficiently in an enclosed space or cupboard.  
! If using the dryer in a small or cold room some  
condensation will be experienced.  
! 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.  
Moulded plug  
Water Drain  
If the machine is positioned close to a drain it is possible to  
drain the condensed water directly without using the  
waterbottle. In which case it is no longer necessary to  
empty the water bottle at the end of each cycle.If the Dryer  
is positioned above or close to a Washing Machine the  
same drainage can be used. Just unlink the tube indicated  
in figure A and connect it to the drainage.  
If the drainage is further away than the length of the tube it  
is possible to buy and connect a tube of the same diameter  
and the necessary length in order to reach the drainage.  
To install the new tube just substitute the existing one as  
indicated in figure B inserting it in the same place.  
! The drain tube has to be below 1 m from the bottom  
of the Dryer.  
Changing the plug  
The wires in the power cord are coloured in accordance  
with the following.

! Once the Dryer has been installed please assure that  
the drain tube is not bent or contorted.  
!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 cord should be checked periodically and replaced  
by a cord specially prepared for this dryer and fitted only by  
authorized technicians (see Service). New or longer power  
cords are supplied at an extra charge by authorized dealers.  
! The manufacturer denies any responsibility should any of  
these rules not be followed.

Special Programmes  
Easy Iron Programme  
Easy Iron is a short 10 minute programme (8 minutes of heat followed by a 2 minutes cool tumble period) which fluffs the  
fibres of clothing that has 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 maximum capacity. These numbers refer to dry weight:  
Fabric:  
Max  
2.5 kg  
2
2
Cotton and Cotton mix  
Synthetics  
Denim  
2. Unload the dryer immediately after the end of the drying cycle, hang, fold or iron the articles and put them away in the  
closet. Should this not be possible, repeat the cycle.  
The Easy Iron effect varies from one fabric to the next. It works very well on traditional fabrics like Cotton or Cotton mix, and  
less well on acrylic fibres and on materials such as Tencel.®

Laundry  
Sorting your laundry  
Wash care labels  
Check symbols on clothing labels to make sure that the  
articles can be tumble dried.  
• Sort laundry by fabric type.  
Look at the labels on your garments, especially when  
tumble drying for the first time. The following symbols are  
the most common:  
• Empty pockets and check buttons.  
May be tumble dried.  
• Close zippers and hooks and tie loose belts and strings.  
• Wring out each item in order to eliminate as much  
excess water as possible.  
Do not tumble dry.  
Tumble dry at high heat setting.  
Tumble dry at low heat setting.  
! Do not load dripping wet clothes into the dryer.  
Maximum load  
Do not load more than maximum capacity.  
These numbers refer to dry weight:  
Natural fibres: 8 kg max (18 lb)  
Synthetic fibres: 3 kg max (6.6 lb)  
What not to tumble dry in your dryer:  
• Articles that contain rubber or rubber-like materials, or  
plastic film (pillows, cushions, or PVC rainwear); any  
other flammable objects, or objects that contain  
flammable substances (towels soiled with hairspray).  
! Do not overload the dryer as this could result in reduced  
drying performance.  
• Glass fibres (certain types of draperies).  
• Items that have been Dry Cleaned.  
Typical weights  
Note: 1kg = 1000g; (1 lb = 16 oz.)

Special clothing items  
• 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.  
GB  
GB  
Blankets and bedspreads: acrylic items (Acilian, Courtelle,  
Orion, Dralon) must be dried with special care on a low  
heat setting. Avoid drying for a long period of time.  
• Heat setting.  
Pleated or creased garments: read manufacturer drying  
instructions on the garment.  
• Room temperature: if the room where the dryer is  
located is cold, it will take longer for the dryer to dry  
your clothes.  
Starched articles: do not dry these items with  
nonstarched 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.  
• Bulk: some bulky items can be tumble dried with care.  
We suggest that you remove these items several times,  
shake them out, and return them to the dryer until  
finished.  
! Do not over-dry your clothes.  
All fabrics contain a little natural moisture, which keeps  
them soft and fluffy.  
Drying times  
Times are approximate and can vary depending upon:  
The table below presents APPROXIMATE drying times in  
Hours: Minutes as you see them on the display the times  
are also shown in Minutes only for reference.  
The times given are for Cupboard Dry Automatic  
programmes.  
• Amount of water retained in clothes after spin cycle:  
towels and delicates retain a lot of water.  
• Fabrics: items that have the same type of fabric but  
different textures and thicknesses may not have the  
same drying times.  
Timed dry settings are also shown, to help choosing a  
suitable time option.  
Weights refer to dry garments.

Warnings and Suggestions  
! This appliance has been designed and built according to  
international safety standards. These warnings are given  
for safety reasons and must be followed carefully.  
• Clean the filter after each use (see Maintenance).  
• Empty the Water Container after each use (see  
Maintenance).  
• Clean the Condenser unit at regular intervals (see  
Maintenance).  
General safety  
• 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).  
! 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.  
• The final part of a tumble dryer cycle occurs without heat  
(cooling cycle) to ensure that the laundry is not damaged  
due to excessive temperatures.  
• This tumble dryer is not intended for use by 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 there safety.  
• This tumble dryer has been designed for home, and not  
professional, use.  
Recycling and Disposal information  
• Do not touch the appliance while barefoot or with wet  
hands or feet.  
• Unplug the machine by pulling on the plug, not the  
cord.  
As part of our continued commitment to helping the  
environment, we reserve the right to use quality recycled  
components to keep down customer costs and minimise  
material wastage.  
• 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 at the front of the  
dryer and rear vents behind the machine should never  
be obstructed (see Installation).  
• 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.  
• Disposal of packaging materials: follow local  
regulations, so that packaging can be recycled.  
• To minimise risk of injury to children, remove the door  
and plug - then cut off mains cable, flush with the  
appliance. Dispose of these parts separately to ensure  
that the appliance can no longer be plugged into a  
mains socket.  
Disposal of old electrical appliances  
The European Directive 2002/96/EC on Waste  
Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE),  
requires that old household electrical appliances  
must not be disposed of in the normal unsorted  
municipal waste stream. Old appliances must be collected  
separately in order to optimise the recovery and recycling  
of the materials they contain and reduce the impact on  
human health and the environment. The crossed out  
“wheeled bin” symbol on the product reminds you of your  
obligation, that when you dispose of the appliance it must  
be separately collected.  
The back of the dryer could become very hot.  
Never touch it while in use.  
• Do not use the dryer unless the filter, Water Container  
and Condenser are securely in place (see Maintenance).  
• Do not use liquid fabric softeners in the dryer; add it to  
the final rinse of your wash.  
• Do not overload the dryer (see Laundry for maximum  
loads).  
• Do not load items that are dripping wet.  
• 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.  
• Carefully check all instructions on clothing labels (see  
Laundry).  
• Do not dry garments that have been treated with  
chemical products.  
• Never dry articles that are contaminated with flammable  
substances (Cooking oil, acetone, alcohol, petrol,  
kerosene, spot removers, turpentine, waxes , wax  
removers and hair sprays), unless washed in hot water  
with an extra amount of detergent.  
Consumers should contact their local authority or retailer  
for information concerning the correct disposal of their old  
appliance.  
Save energy and respect the environment  
• Wring out all 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).  
• Do not tumble dry rubber, rubber backed articles and  
clothes, pillows fitted with foam rubber pads, foam (latex  
foam), rubber, plastic, shower caps, waterproof textiles,  
nappy pants or liners, polythene, or paper.  
• Remove all objects from pockets, especially lighters  
(risk of explosion).  
• 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.

Maintenance and Care  
Switching off the electricity  
Empty the Water Container after each cycle  
Pull the container out of the dryer and empty it into a sink  
or other suitable drain. Replace container securely.  
Always check and empty the container before you start a  
new drying programme.  
GB  
GB  
! Unplug the dryer when not using it, when cleaning it, and  
during maintenance activities.  
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.  
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.  
The filter is found in front of the dryer trim (see diagram).  
Removing the filter:  
Cleaning the Condenser Unit  
• Periodically (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.  
To remove condenser :  
1. Unplug the dryer and open the door.  
2. Pull open the condenser cover (see diagram), release  
the three catches by turning 90° counter clockwise  
then pull on the grip and remove from dryer.  
3. Clean the surface of the seals and replace with the  
arrows pointing upwards making sure that the catches  
have been secured.  
1. Pull the plastic grip of the  
filter upwards (see diagram).  
2. Open the filter by  
depressing the clip.  
3. Clean the lint from the  
inside of the filter, and  
replace it correctly. Ensure  
the filter is fully located flush  
into the tumble dryer trim.  
Cleaning the dryer  
• 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  
condenser and filter areas, clean occasionally with a  
vacuum cleaner.  
! Do not use dryer without replacing the filter.  
Check the drum after each cycle  
Turn the drum manually in order to remove small items  
(handkerchiefs) that could have been left behind.  
! Do not use solvents or abrasives.  
! Your dryer uses special bearing components which do  
not need lubrication.  
! Have your dryer checked regularly by authorized  
technicians to ensure electrical and mechanical safety  
(see Service).  
Cleaning the drum  
! 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.

• You have pressed the start button; there will be a short delay before the dryer  
starts. Wait for drying to begin,do not press the start button again or the dryer  
will pause and not begin drying.  
• The filter has not been cleaned (see Maintenance).  
• The water container needs emptying? The empty water light is flashing and  
H2Omessage is displayed? (see Maintenance).  
• The condenser needs cleaning (see Maintenance).  
• The temperature setting is not ideal for the type of fabric you are drying (see  
Start and Programmes, and Laundry).  
• The correct drying time has not been selected for this load (see Laundry).  
• The air intake grille or rear vents are obstructed (see Installation and see Maintenance).  
• The items are too wet (see Laundry).  
• The dryer is overloaded (see Laundry).  
The Empty water light is flashing  
but the dryer has only been  
running for a short period.  
• The water container was probably not emptied at the start of the programme.  
Do not wait for the empty water signal always check and empty the container  
before starting a new drying programme (see Maintenance).  
Empty water light is on and the  
water container is not full.  
• This is normal the empty water flashes when the container is full. If the light is on but  
not flashing its just a reminder to empty the container (see Start and Programmes).  
Programme finishes and clothes  
damper than expected.  
! For safety the dryer has a maximum programme time of 4 hours. If an automatic  
programme has not sensed the required final moisture in this time the dryer will  
complete the programme and stop. Check the above points and run the programme  
again, if the results are still to damp, contact the service centre (see Service).  
The Display shows a fault code F  
followed by one or two numbers,  
the option lights and pause light  
are flashing.  
• If the display shows F10 or F15, Turn off and remove plug, Clean the Filter and  
Condenser (see Maintenance). Then replace plug turn on and start another  
program. If the F10 or F15 is then displayed contact the service centre (see  
Service).

centre (see Service).  
The display briefly shows “dOn”  
every 6 seconds.  
• The dryer is in ‘Demo’ mode. Press and hold both the On/Off and Start/Pause  
buttons for 3 seconds. The display will show “dOn” for 3 seconds and then the  
dryer will resume normal operation.  
• The time to end is continuously monitored throughout the drying cycle and the  
time is adjusted to give the best-estimated time. The displayed time may  
increase during the cycle and this is normal.  
Time to End display changes  
during drying.  
• This is normal, particularly if the dryer has not been used for a while. If the noise  
persists throughout the whole drying cycle then contact the service centre.  
The dryer makes a thumping  
noise during the first few  
minutes of operation.  
• The dryer has gone into standby mode to save power. This occurs if you have  
left the dryer on or have had a power cut. It occurs after 30 minutes:  
- if you leave the dryer without starting a programme;  
The lights on the dryer control  
panel are off although the dryer  
is switched on.  
- after your drying programme has finished.  
Press the On/Off button and the lights will come on again.
