! 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.

the rating label (see Dryer Description).  
The socket must be compatible with the dryers plug.  
G
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  
Door catch  
Hinge  
! 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  
Changing the plug  
The wires in the power cord are coloured in accordance with the  
following:

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.  
Blue (Neutral) wire to

Cord clamp  
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.  
GB  
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.

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.

Troubleshooting  
One day your dryer seems not to be working. Before you call your Service Centre (see Service), go through the  
following troubleshooting suggestions:  
GB  
Problem:  
Possible causes / Solution:  
G
The tumble dryer won’t start.  
The plug is not plugged into the socket, or not making contact.  
There has been a power failure.  
The fuse has blown. Try to plug another appliance into the socket.  
You are using an extension cord? Try to plug the dryer’s power cord

directly into the socket.  
The door is not closed securely?  
The programme has not been set properly (see Start and Programmes).  
The START button has not been pressed (see Start and Programmes).  
G
G
G
G
Drying cycle will not begin.  
Its taking a long time to dry.  
You have set a delayed time (see Start and Programmes).  
G
The filter has not been cleaned (see Maintenance).  
The temperature setting is not ideal for the type of fabric you are drying  
G
(see Start and Programmes, and see Laundry).  
The water container needs emptying? The empty water icon is flashing?

Maintenance).  
The items were too wet (see Laundry).  
The dryer was overloaded (see Laundry).  
G
G
G
Empty water icon 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).  
G
Empty water icon is on and  
the water container is not full.  
This is normal, the icon flashes when the container is full. If the icon is on  
but not flashing it is just a reminder to empty the container (see Start and  
Programmes).  
Programme finishes and  
clothes are damper than  
expected.  
! For safety the dryer has a maximum programme time of 3 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 damp, contact the  
Service Centre (see Service).

The display shows a fault  
code F followed by one or two  
numbers  
Note down the code and contact the Service Centre (see Service).
