INSTALLATION GUIDANCE

This appliance expels hot moist air, adequate ventilation must be provided around the appliance and in the room it is positioned.

ALWAYS leave a minimum of 3cm around each side of the appliance (including the top).

NEVER install this appliance behind a closable door as an integrated appliance, or in any other method which would result in blocking the tumble dryer door.

ALWAYS install with a minimum of 2 people, as this appliance is heavy.

NEVER install the appliance pressed against the plug and socket, as this can, in rare cases, result in overheating the plug and socket.

STACKING

This appliance can be installed and used in a stack with a washing machine.

ALWAYS ensure the dryer is the top stacked appliance.

ALWAYS check the dryer capacity & dimensions are the same or below the capacity of the washing machine.

ALWAYS use a stacking kit/fixing kit when stacking appliances

ENSURE the floor underneath the stack can bear a weight of at least 150kg.

LEVELLING THE FEET

we recommend a minimum of 2 people when moving or lifting the appliance.

Only level the appliance with the feet supplied. DO NOT use cardboard, wood or similar materials to level the appliance.

For optimal performance, your dryer must be levelled, which will prevent deterioration of performance, damage to the appliance, and reduce noise.

We recommend the use of a spirit level to gauge the surface before adjusting any feet, by placing the appliance in its location and checking both the Forward and Side elevations.

Once you know the level of the appliance, slightly tilt the appliance at the required corner and using a 30mm spanner, rotate the desired foot in an anti-clockwise motion. Ensure levels are checked regularly during this stage.

LOCATION

Before installation ensure you have all parts and accessories as highlighted in the instruction manual.

Ensure appliance is to be installed in a position it will remain above 0°C (32°F), storage below this temperature will lead to irreparable damage.

DO NOT install on carpet, or any other surface which would reduce ventilation around the appliance.

ALWAYS leave adequate space around the appliance for ventilation (3cm on the sides, 10cm on the rear).

WATER TANK & FILTER

ALWAYS empty the water tank after each cycle.

ALWAYS clean the filter after each cycle.

CONDENSER

Regularly cleaning the condenser prolongs the life of your dryer and prevents lint from building up and damaging the appliance.

We recommend you clean the condenser a minimum of every 3 months.

Open the lower left door on the front of the appliance, and turn the two locks to remove.

Remove any foreign materials and/or lint with a soft brush or with water, allow to dry, then replace the condenser by inserting and re-applying the locks.

Replace the condenser cover by gently pushing into position.

FUNCTIONS & BUTTONS

Child Lock

You can activate Child Lock on the appliance by simultaneously holding buttons 'Drying Level' and 'Anti-Crease' for at least 3 seconds. Once activated, 'CL' will flash on the display, and all functions will be locked.

• If the dial is moved into the 'Off' position, then turned to any program, the appliance will continue the previously selected cycle.

To deactivate Child Lock, simultaneously hold the 'Drying Level' and 'Anti-Crease' buttons for at least 3 seconds until 'CL' disappears from the display.

Cancelling a Program

To cancel a running program at any time in a cycle, turn the program dial to the 'OFF' position.

OPERATION

ALWAYS ensure the weight of the load does not exceed the maximum weight as outlined in this manual. Overloading will result in damage to the appliance.

ALWAYS untangle laundry and remove any objects in pockets before placing in the appliance.

Turn on the appliance by selecting the appropriate program using the dial. The marker on the dial indicates the selected program. The selected program time will be displayed on the panel.

You can adjust drying levels between 1-3 for increased drying performance. L1 leaves your clothes slightly damp to assist with ironing, with L3 being the driest setting. Your dryer automatically adjusts to the selected dampness level using a humidity sensor. To adjust the drying level, press the 'Drying Level' button to cycle between Levels 1-3 (1 being coolest, 3 being hottest).

Anti-Crease function can be activated after selecting a program. This will extend the cycle duration by 1 hour to help remove creases from laundry.

If you wish to delay the cycle, press the 'Delay' button and '1hr' will be displayed.

You can delay between 1-23 hours.

To cancel the delay:

• If you have already pressed the Start/Pause button, press the Delay button once, and the clock symbol will clear.
• If you have NOT pressed the Start/Pause button, continue to press the Delay button until the clock symbol clears from the display.

Once you have selected the desired program, press the Start button to begin drying.

WASHING SYMBOLS & GARMENT CARE

The below are a selection of the most common care label symbols that may appear on your clothing. Always follow the instructions on the care labels to ensure that there is no damage of shrinkage caused by incorrect drying.

• Always separate light colours from dark colours.
• Always separate heavily saturated garments from normal washing, even if you would normally dry them together.
• Never overload the dryer – the indicated maximum weight capacity of the dryer is for WET clothes however; there should always be air space and the door should shut easily without force.
