Installation

Where to put your dryer

●

Place your dryer at a distance from gas

ranges, stoves, heaters, or cook tops

because flames can damage the

appliance.

●

If you are going to

install the appliance

under a work 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.

The appliance must be installed with the

rear surface placed against a wall.

Ventilation

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.

! 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.

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. If the dryer is stacked onto or

installed next to a washing machine it can share the same

drain.

The height of the drain must be less than 3' (1m) from the

bottom of the dryer.

Remove the existing hose from

position shown in picture A.

Then fit a suitable length of hose to

position shown in picture B.

! Make sure that the hose is not squashed or kinked when

the dryer is in its final location.

Electrical connections

Make sure of the following before you

insert the plug into the the electrical socket:

●

Make sure your hands are dry.

●

The socket must have an earth connection.

●

The socket must be able to sustain the

machines maximum power, which is

indicated on the rating label (see Dryer

Description).

●

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.

! 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.

! Do not use extension cords.

! The power cord must not be bent or

squashed.

! The power cord should be regularly

checked. If the supply cord is damaged, it

must be replaced by the manufacturer, its

service agent or similarly qualified

persons in order to avoid a hazard. New or

longer power cords are supplied at an extra

charge by authorised 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.

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.

●

Cleaning and user maintenance should

not be made by children without

supervision.

●

Children of less than 3 years should be

kept away from the appliance unless

continuously supervised.

●

The appliance must be installed

correctly and have proper ventilation.

The air intake at the front of the dryer

should never be obstructed (see

Installation).

●

Never use the dryer on carpeting where

the pile height would prevent air from

entering the dryer from the base.

●

Check to see if the dryer is empty before

loading it.

●

The back of the dryer could

become very hot. Never touch it

while in use.

●

Do not use the dryer unless the filter,

water container and condenser are

securely in place (see Maintenance).

●

Do not overload the dryer (see Laundry

accessories (see Service).

Warnings

To minimise the risk of fire in your

tumble dryer, the following should be

observed:

●

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.

●

Do not dry garments that have been

treated with chemical products.

●

Do not tumble dry items that have been

spotted or soaked with vegetable or

cooking oils, this constitutes a fire hazard.

Oil-affected items can ignite spontaneously,

especially when exposed to heat sources

such as a tumble dryer. The items become

warm, causing an oxidisation reaction with

the oil, Oxidisation creates heat. If the heat

cannot escape, items can become hot

enough to catch fire. Piling, stacking or

storing oil-effected items can prevent heat

from escaping and so create a fire hazard.

If it is unavoidable that fabrics containing

vegetable or cooking oil or those that have

been contaminated with hair care products

be placed in a tumble dryer they should

first be washed with extra detergent - this

will reduce, but not eliminate the hazard.

They should not be removed from the dryer

and piled or stacked while hot.

●

Do not tumble dry items that have

previously been cleaned in or washed in,

soaked in or soiled with petrol/gasoline,

dry cleaning solvents or other flammable

or explosive substances. Highly flammable

substances commonly used in domestic

environments including cooking oil,

acetone, denatured alcohol, kerosene,

spot removers, turpentine, waxes and

wax removers. Ensure these items have

been washed in hot water with an extra

amount of detergent before being dried

in the tumble dryer.

●

Do not tumble dry items containing foam

rubber (also known as latex foam), or

similarly textured rubber like materials.

Foam rubber materials can, when

heated, produce fire by spontaneous

combustion.

●

Fabric softener or similar products

should not be used in a tumble dryer to

eliminate the effects of static electricity

unless the practice is specifically

recommended by the manufacturer of

the fabric softener product.

●

Do not tumble dry undergarments that

contain metal reinforcements eg. bras

with metal reinforcing wires. Damage to

the tumble dryer can result if the metal

reinforcements come loose during drying.

●

Do not tumble dry rubber, plastic articles

such as shower caps or babies water

proof covers, polythene or paper.

●

Do not tumble dry rubber backed

articles, clothes fitted with foam rubber

pads, pillows, galoshes and rubber

coated tennis shoes.

●

Remove all objects from pockets, such

as lighters and matches.

! WARNING: Never stop the dryer before the end of the drying cycle unless all items are

quickly removed and spread out so that the heat is dissipated.

Maintenance and Care

Switching off the electricity

! Unplug your dryer when not using it,

when cleaning it and during all

maintenance operations.

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.

The filter is found in front of the dryer trim

(see diagram on next page).

Removing the filter:

1. Pull the plastic grip of the filter upwards.

2. Open the filter and

clean the lint from the

inside.

3. Replace it correctly.

Ensure the filter is fully

located flush into the

tumble dryer trim.

4. Remove any lint that has built up on the

inside of the door and around the door

seal.

! Do not use the dryer without replacing

the filter.

Empty the water container after each

cycle

Pull the container out of the dryer

and remove either the small or

large cap and empty it into a

sink or other suitable drain.

Refit the cap and replace the

container securely.

! Always check and empty the container before you

start a new drying programme.

! Failure to empty the water container may cause

the following:

- The dryer will stop heating (so the load may still

be damp at the end of the drying cycle) (see The

Controls).

●

Priming the water collection system

When your dryer is new, the water container will not

collect water until the system is primed.

This will take 1 or 2 drying cycles. Once primed it will

collect water during every drying cycle.

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.

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.

Clean the surface of the seals and replace,

with the arrows pointing upwards making

sure that the catches have been secured.

Maintenance and Care

Check the drum after each cycle

Turn the drum manually in order to remove small items

(handkerchiefs) that could have been left behind.

Cleaning the drum

! Do not use abrasives, steel wool or stainless steel

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.

Cleaning the dryer

●

External parts in metal or plastic and rubber parts

can be cleaned with a damp cloth.

●

Periodically (every 6 months) vacuum the front air

intake grille, to remove any build up of fluff, lint or

dust. Also to remove accumulation of fluff from the

front of the condenser and filter areas, clean

occasionally with a vacuum cleaner.

! Do not use solvents or abrasives.

! Have your dryer checked regularly by authorised

technicians to ensure electrical and mechanical safety

(see Service).

Quick Tips

●

Remember to clean the door filter and

the condenser filter after each load.

●

Remember to empty the water container

after each load.

! Doing BOTH the above will keep your

appliance working at its BEST.

Start and Programmes

Cuddly Toy Programme

With this programme you can remove dust easier and wash the cuddly toys more often because the drying time is

very much reduced compared to drying in the open air. It is a delicate drying cycle that dries at low temperature

and with soft mechanical action to maintain at best the original look and shine of the fur.

Note: For allergy protection, just freeze cuddly toys for 24 hours then wash and dry them. Repeat every 6 weeks.

Before drying remove accessories such as clothes, collars or sound boxes and protect plastic eyes with masking

tape after drying them with a cloth.

The programme time will vary dependant on the exact make up of the load.

The maximum load should not exceed 2.5kg and no individual item should be greater than 600g.

Refresh

! ‘Refresh’ is not a drying programme and should not be used for wet articles of clothing.

●

It can be used on any load size but is more effective on smaller loads.

●

Do not overload your dryer (see Laundry).

●

This is a 20 minute programme that airs your clothes with cool air. Also use to cool warm clothes.

Heat & Enjoy

This programme helps to heat towels & bathrobes for a warm sensation after a bath or shower. It is also useful for

warming clothes before dressing during winter. The cycle heats clothes to 37°C (Body Temperature) and runs at this

temperature for a maximum of 4 hours or until you stop the cycle by opening the door.

Maximum load 3kg.

Note: During this programme a icon rotates in the display until the target temperature is reached, at which point

the icon flashes.

Pre Iron Programme

‘Pre Iron’ is a treatment cycle for use with dry clothes and reduces creases in order to facilitate ironing and folding,

it has a maximum duration of 15 minutes.

! ‘Pre 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 2.5kg

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.

phase starts.

Time Delay (Delay Timer)

The start of some programmes (see Start and

Programmes) can be delayed for up to 24 hours. Ensure

the water container is emptied before setting a delayed

start. During this period the clothes are occasionally

tumbled to help prevent creases developing.

Ready to Iron

This option allows you to dry loads where only some

of the items need ironing and you do not wish to fully

dry those items.

When Iron Dry level is reached, a buzzer sounds to let

you know that the items that need ironing can be

removed. The dryer then stops and the Start/Pause

light flashes orange. Remove the items you wish to

iron, close the door and press the Start/Pause button,

the dryer continues until the remaining items reach the

selected dryness level.

It can be used on load sizes up to 3kg.

Note: This option is not available with the ‘Iron Dry’ and

‘Damp Dry’ dryness levels.

Less Tangled

This option has the drum movement modified to give a

tumbling action that reduces tangling and knotting of your

clothes.

The Less Tangled option gives best results when used

with smaller loads.

Heat Level buttons and lights

Not all programmes allow you to change the heat level

and some programmes allow all three heat level options:

Low, Medium and High.

When the heat level options are available pressing this

button changes the heat level and the light corresponding

to the selection is lit.

be ignored, as there is no need to empty the water

container).

When this icon is on ( ) it reminds you to empty the

water container.

If the water container fills during a programme, the

heater turns off and the dryer does a period of Cool

Tumble then the buzzer sounds, the ‘water container

full’ icon flashes, the display shows and the

‘empty water’ icon is on.

You must empty the water container and restart the

Laundry

Sorting your laundry

●

Check symbols on clothing labels to make sure

that the articles can be tumble dried.

●

Sort laundry by fabric type.

●

Empty pockets and check buttons.

●

Close zippers and hooks and tie loose belts and

strings.

●

Wring out each item in order to eliminate as much

excess water as possible.

! Do not load dripping wet clothes into the dryer.

Maximum load size

Do not load more than maximum capacity.

These numbers refer to dry weight:

Natural fibres: 9kg max (20lb)

Synthetic fibres: 3kg max (6.6lb)

! DO NOT overload the dryer as this could result in

reduced drying performance.

Wash Care Labels

Look at the labels on your garments, especially when

tumble drying for the first time. The following symbols

are the most common:

May be tumble dried

Do not tumble dry

Tumble dry at high heat setting

Tumble dry at low heat setting

Drying times

The table (see below) presents APPROXIMATE drying

times in Minutes. Weights refer to dry garments.

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.

●

Fabrics: items that are the same type of fabric but

different textures and thicknesses may not have

the same drying time.

●

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

damp. Others can be left longer if you need them

to be completely dry.

●

Heat setting.

●

Room temperature: if the room where the dryer is

located is cold, it will take longer for the dryer to

dry your clothes.

●

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.

●

Note: At the end of a drying cycle, cottons could still be damp if you grouped cottons and synthetics together. If

this is the case, simply give the damp cotton items an additional short period of drying.

Troubleshooting

Problem:

The tumble dryer won’t start.

Drying cycle will not begin.

Its taking a long time to dry.

The ‘water container full’ icon

is flashing and displayed

but the dryer has only been

running for a short period.

Empty water icon is on and

the water container is not full.

Programme finishes and

clothes are damper than

expected.

The display shows a fault

code F followed by one or two

numbers

Possible causes / Solution:

●

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 PROGRAMMES knob has not been set properly (see Start and

Programmes).

●

The START/PAUSE button has not been pressed (see Start and Programmes).

●

You have set a delayed time (see Start and Programmes).

●

The filter has not been cleaned (see Maintenance).

●

The water container needs emptying... The ‘water container full’ icon

is flashing, the display shows and the ‘empty water’ icon is on

(see Maintenance).

●

The condenser needs cleaning? (see Maintenance).

●

The temperature setting is not ideal for the type of fabric you are drying

(see Start and Programmes, and see Laundry).

●

The correct drying time has not been selected for the load (see Laundry).

●

The air intake grille is obstructed (see Installation, and see

Maintenance).

●

The items were too wet (see Laundry).

●

The dryer was overloaded (see Laundry).

●

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).

●

This is normal. If the icon is on it is just a reminder to empty the container

(see Start and Programmes).

! For safety the dryer has a maximum programme time of 5 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).

●

If the display shows a fault:

- Turn off and remove the plug. Clean the filter and the condenser

unit (see Maintenance). Then replace the plug, turn on and start

another programme. If a fault is then displayed: Note down the

code and contact the Service Centre (see Service).

One day your dryer seems not to be working. Before you call your Service Centre (see Service), go through the

following troubleshooting suggestions:

Service

Before calling the Service Centre:

●

Use the troubleshooting guide to see if you can

solve the problem yourself (see Troubleshooting).

●

If not, turn off the dryer and call the Service Centre

closest to you.

What to tell the Service Centre:

●

name, address and post code.

●

telephone number.

●

the type of problem.

●

the date of purchase.

●

the appliance model (Mod.).

●

the serial number (S/N).

This information can be found on the data label inside

the door of the machine.

Spare Parts

This dryer is a complex machine. Repairing it yourself

or having a non-authorised person try to repair it could

cause harm to one or more persons, could damage

the machine and could invalidate the spare parts

warranty.

Call an authorised technician if you experience problems

while using the machine.

As part of our continued commitment to helping

the environment, we reserve the right to use

quality recycled components to keep down customer

costs and minimise material wastage.

●

Disposing of the packaging material: follow local

regulations, so the packaging can be recycled.

●

To minimise risk of injury to children, remove the

door and plug - then cut off mains cable, flush

with the appliance. Dispose of these parts separately

to ensure that the appliance can no longer be

plugged into a mains socket.

Disposal of old electrical appliances

The European Directive 2012/19/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.

The crossed out “wheeled bin” symbol on the

product reminds you of your obligation, that

when you dispose of the appliance it must be

separately collected.

Consumers should contact their local authority or

retailer for information concerning the correct disposal

of their old appliance.

Save energy and respect the environment

●

Wring out items to eliminate excess water before 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.

●

Clean the filter after each use to contain energy consumption costs (see Maintenance).
