In conjunction with the vent tube we recommend  
using a Wall/Window Vent Kit, available at a retail

Place your dryer at a distance from gas ranges,

or walls. This is to ensure  
proper air circulation. Make sure that the back  
vents are not obstructed.  
3. Similarly, the duct in  
the wall should slope  
downwards towards the  
outside.  
G
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.

! Make sure that the vent tube and air intake vents are  
not obstructed or blocked.  
! The dryer must not recycle exhaust air.  
! Misusing a tumble dryer may create a fire hazard.  
! Do not discharge exhaust air into a flue which is  
used for exhaust fumes from other appliances that  
burn gas or other fuels.  
! Do not discharge exhaust air into an extraction  
system or any duct with an extractor fan. This will  
affect the way the thermal controls operate and can  
result in a fire hazard.

then the cut-off plug must be disposed of safely. DO  
NOT leave it where it can be inserted into a socket

dryer in its final location check  
that it is level first side to side,  
then front to back.  
G
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.  
G
! 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.

Cool Tumble Phase  
This is the programmes’ final phase. Approximately 10 minutes before the finish, the knob advances automatically to  
the Cool Tumble Phase. Heating elements turn themselves off and clothing is cooled down, after this the Buzzer will  
sound (if selected) and the clothing is ready to be taken out.  
! Always allow the dryer to complete this phase.  
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®.

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

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.

Consumers should contact their local authority or  
retailer for information concerning the correct disposal  
of their old appliance.  
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).

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.

The filter is an important part of your dryer:  
cleaning agents to clean the drum.  
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.  
Cleaning  
The filter is found in front  
of the dryer trim

can be cleaned with a damp cloth.  
G
Periodically check the vent tube and any  
permanent venting fixture to make sure that there  
has been no accumulation of fluff or lint, and  
remove it.  
G
Remove lint that collects around the filter and the  
outlet vents.  
Removing the filter:  
1. Pull the plastic grip of  
the filter upwards (see  
diagram).  
! Do not use solvents or abrasives.  
! Your dryer uses special bearing components which  
do not need lubrication.  
2. Clean the filter and  
replace it correctly.  
Ensure the filter is fully  
located flush into the  
tumble dryer trim.  
! Have your dryer checked regularly by authorised  
technicians to ensure electrical and mechanical safety  
(see Service).  
! Do not use the dryer without replacing the filter..
