! Keep this instruction booklet on hand in order to refer to it
when necessary. Take it with you when you move, and
should you sell this appliance or pass it on to another
party, make sure that this booklet is supplied along with
the dryer so that the new owner may be informed about
warnings and suggestions on how the dryer works.
! Read these instructions carefully; the following pages
contain important information on installation and
suggestions on how the appliance works.

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.
Door Reversal Instructions

! Once installed, the dryers electrical wire and plug must be
within easy reach.
Door latch
! 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.
Moulded plug
! The plug must not be used without
the fuse cover in place.
Hinge
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 door of your dryer is reversible and can easily be
changed. Exchange diagonally hinge brackets and
blanking screws. Exchange door latch and catch with their
opposite blanking plates (see diagram above).
Where to put your dryer

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 or walls. This is to ensure proper air circulation.
Make sure that the back vents are not obstructed.

Ventilation
! 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.
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 could be experienced.
! 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.
Water drain
If your dryer is installed next to a drain the water can be
plumbed into this drain. This does away with the need to
empty the water container. Simply remove the top hose from
its top fitting at the rear of the dryer and plumb the hose
provided to the drain.
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.

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®.
Wool Programme
G
This is a programme for tumble dryer safe garments marked with the symbol
It can be used for load sizes up to 1kg (approximately 3 sweaters).
We recommend that garments are turned inside out before drying.
This programme will take about 20 to 40 minutes, but may take longer depending on the size and density of
the load and the spin speed used in your washer.
.

Loads dried using this programme are usually ready to wear, but on some heavier garments the edges may
be slightly damp. Allow these to dry naturally as over-drying could damage garments.
! Unlike other materials, the mechanism of wool shrinkage is irreversible; i.e. it will not stretch back to original
size and shape.
! This programme is not suitable for Acrylic garments.

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.

Blankets and Bedspreads: acrylic items (Acilan,
Courtelle, Orion, Dralon) must be dried with special
care on LOW heat setting. Avoid drying for a long
period of time.
G
G
Heat setting.
Pleated or creased garments: read the manufacturer’s
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 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.
G
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
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.
Times are approximate and can vary depending
upon:

Amount of water retained in clothes after spin
cycle: towels and delicates retain a lot of water.
The times given are for Cupboard Dry Set & Forget

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.
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.
Cleaning the condenser unit
Periodically (every month) remove the 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.
The filter is found in front of the dryer trim (see diagram).
Removing the filter:
1. Pull the plastic grip of the filter upwards (see diagram).
2. Clean the filter and replace it correctly.
Ensure the filter is fully located flush into the tumble
dryer trim.
Removing the 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
the dryer.
! Do not use the dryer without replacing the filter.
3. Clean the surface of the seals and replace, making
sure that the catches have been secured.
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 the water container securely.
Always check and empty the container before you
start a new drying programme.
