This symbol reminds you to read this instruction manual. Keep this manual at hand for immediate reference whenever necessary. Always store this manual close to the tumble dryer and remember to pass it on to any new owners when selling or transferring the appliance, so they may familiarise with the warnings and suggestions herein contained. Read these instructions carefully: the following pages contain important information on installation and useful suggestions for operating the appliance. |
This appliance gently dries laundry by taking in cold, clean and relatively dry air, heating it and passing it through the fabric. To facilitate the drying process, damp air is expelled at the rear, through a ventilation hose. When the dryer is in use, there has to be adequate ventilation to avoid a back flow of gases into the room from appliances burning other fuels, including open fires.
When using the tumble dryer with the mobile ventilation system, a ventilation hose must be connected. The hose should be securely fastened to the ventilation hole at the rear of the appliance (see "Description of the tumble dryer").
We recommend the hose is connected to an outlet near the tumble dryer, if possible. If it cannot be installed in a permanent spot, the tumble dryer will still function perfectly well if the ventilation hose is passed through a partially-opened window.
Make sure you do not point the ventilation hose towards the air inlet, which is located on the rear of the appliance.
The ventilation hose should not exceed a maximum length of 2.4 metres; it should also be shaken frequently to remove any fluff, dust or water deposits inside it. Make sure you do not crush the hose.
We recommend the ventilation hose is connected to a ventilation system for windows or doors, available from the retailer which originally sold you the appliance or from your local spare parts stockist.
Areas A and B should be checked frequently, to prevent the accumulation of fluff or debris, particularly if the tumble dryer is used very often. The hose adaptor must be fitted correctly, in order to prevent damp air from coming back into the room.
The ventilation hole should be directly behind the dryer in order to keep the hose as short as possible.
Make sure you do not push the tumble dryer too far backwards, as this could lead to the ventilation hose being crushed, bent or even disconnected.
There should be no cuts, kinks or "U"-shaped bends in the hose, as these could impede ventilation or trap condensation.
The end of the hose must be facing downwards, in order to prevent the hot, damp air from forming condensation in the room or the tumble dryer.
Make sure that the tumble dryer is adequately ventilated, and that the end of the ventilation hose is not pointing towards the air inlet pipe on the rear of the appliance.
The ventilation hose must always be fitted to ensure optimum performance.
Make sure that the ventilation hose and the air inlet vents are not obstructed or blocked.
Do not let the tumble dryer recirculate exhaust air.
Improper use of the tumble dryer may result in fire hazards.
The air emitted by the tumble dryer must not be expelled in the same duct as used for the fumes produced by different appliances which burn gas or other fuels.
Do not discharge the 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.
Before plugging the appliance into the socket, check the following:
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 dryer's electrical wire and plug must be within reach.
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.
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.
The wires in the power cord are coloured in accordance with the following.
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.
If in doubt about any of the above consult a qualified electrician.
Once the tumble dryer is installed, clean the inside of the drum before operating it and remove any dirt accumulated during transportation.
The tumble dryer should be installed level in order to operate correctly.
After installing the tumble dryer in its permanent position, make sure it is level; check its side-to-side levelling first, followed by front-to-back.
If the tumble dryer is not perfectly level, use a wooden block to support it while you adjust the two front feet, up or down as necessary.
Once the tumble dryer is installed, clean the inside of the drum before operating it and remove any dirt accumulated during transportation.
Drying time selector knob
This is used to set the drying time: turn the knob in a clockwise direction until the indicator is set to the desired drying time (see Drying settings). Do not attempt to turn the knob anticlockwise.
High Heat button
It can be used to customise the selected programme in accordance with your own requirements.
START button
Press the button to begin drying.
The drying time depends on the size of the load and on the type of fabric it contains (see Table).
The COOL TUMBLE cycle runs during the final 10 minutes of the programme.
For large loads, select the High Heat option if available.
Fabric | Load | ||||||
1 kg | 2 kg | 3 kg | 4 kg | 5 kg | 6 kg | 7 kg | |
Cotton – high heat | 20 or 30 minutes | 35 or 45 minutes | 45 or 60 minutes | 60 or 70 minutes | 70 or 80 minutes | 80 or 100 minutes | 90 or 120 minutes |
Synthetics – high heat | 20 or 30 minutes | 35 or 45 minutes | 45 or 60 minutes | - | - | - | |
Acrylics – low heat | 25 or 40 minutes | 40 or 60 minutes | - | - | - | - |
Drying times are approximate and may vary depending on the following:
Do not over-dry items.
All fabrics contain natural dampness which helps to keep them soft and fluffy.
Refresh
A short programme suitable for refreshing fibres and garments through the emission of cool air. It lasts about 10 minutes.
As this is not a drying programme, it is not to be used for garments that are still wet.
High Heat button
The high heat button selects the drying temperature. When the button is out low heat is selected and when it is pushed in high heat is selected
Do not load the dryer when garments are dripping wet.
Do not overload the drum.
The following values indicate the weight of dry garments:
Natural fibres: maximum 7 kg
Synthetic fibres: maximum 3 kg
Do not overload the dryer as this may result is reduced drying performance.
Note: 1 kg = 1000 g

When mixing synthetic fibres with cotton garments, the latter may still be damp at the end of the drying cycle. If this happens, simply put them through a short drying cycle.
Always check the care labels, especially when placing garments in the tumble dryer for the first time. Below are the most commonly used symbols:
May be tumble dried.
Do not tumble dry.
Tumble dry – high heat.
Tumble dry – low heat.
Items not suitable for tumble drying:
Blankets and bed covers: acrylic items (Acilian, Courtelle, Orion, Dralon) must be dried with great care at low heat. Avoid drying for long periods.
Creased or pleated garments: read the drying instructions supplied by the manufacturer.
Starched garments: do not dry together with non-starched items. Remove the maximum amount of starch solution possible before placing these items in the dryer. Do not over-dry: starch turns powdery leaving garments limp – this defeats its purpose.
Disconnect the dryer when not in use or during cleaning and maintenance operations.
The filter is a fundamental component of the dryer: its function is to collect lint and fluff that form during drying. Clean the filter once drying is completed, by rinsing it under running water or cleaning it with a vacuum cleaner. Should the filter become clogged, the flow of air inside the dryer will be seriously hampered: drying times becomes longer and more energy is consumed. Moreover, the dryer may become damaged.
The filter is located behind of the dryer seal (see Picture).
Removing the filter:
Do not use the dryer unless the filter has been replaced in its holder.
Rotate the drum manually to remove smaller items (handkerchiefs) that could have been left inside the dryer.
Avoid using abrasives, steel wool or stainless steel cleaning agents to clean the drum.
A coloured film may appear on the stainless steel drum surface: it may be caused by a combination of water and/or cleaning agents such as wash-softeners. This coloured film does not affect the dryer's performance.
Do not use solvents or abrasives.
Have the dryer checked regularly by authorised technical personnel in order to ensure that the electrical and mechanical parts work safely (see Assistance).
