This position on the programme selector dial can be used to freshen the laundry (e.g. to remove a persistent
odour of moth-balls).
Load
It is often difficult to estimate the weight of items to be dried. We therefore recommend that you adopt the
following guidelines:
• cotton, linen: drum full but not too tightly packed;
• synthetics: drum no more than half full;
• delicate fabrics: drum no more than one third full.

Operating Sequence
Before using your tumble dryer for the first time, we
recommend to place a few damp cloths inside the
appliance and dry for approximately 30 minutes.
There may be dust inside a brand new tumble dryer.

Hints & Tips on Drying
●
Before placing articles of laundry in your tumble
dryer, check the care labels to ensure they are
recommended for tumble drying.
Always load well spun laundry. The higher the
spin speed the lower the electricity consumption
and the shorter the drying time.
●
DO NOT load dripping wet laundry into the
dryer. Roll the article in a towel or spin to remove
excess water.
Close poppers and zips and fasten any buttons.
Sort the laundry. Separate synthetics from
cotton/linens, and dry separately.
Care Labels you may find on your laundry
normal drying (high temperature)
delicate drying (low temperature)
may be tumble dried
●
●
●
●
Remove the laundry immediately after the
programme has finished.
Use a fabric conditioning sheet to reduce static.
We recommend the sheet is pinned to an article of
laundry (using a safety pin).
do not tumble dry
Do not overload the appliance.
Here is a list of the approximate weight of some
common laundry items.
●
●
Mix the load i.e. large and small articles.
When drying large items such as sheets, we
recommend you periodically stop the dryer to
redistribute the load.

Maintenance and Cleaning
You must disconnect the appliance from the
electricity supply, before you can carry out any
cleaning or maintenance work.
The filter in the inner door must be removed for
cleaning.
Do not be alarmed by the amount of fluff. It is not
due to excessive wear caused by the dryer. All fabric
looses fluff when drying but it goes un-noticed in the
air. In a tumble dryer it simply collects in the filter.
If necessary the filters can be cleaned under running
water using a brush. In this case, remove the filter in
the door opening as per picture (it can be positioned
with the tongue facing to the left or to the right).
External cleaning
Use only soap and water and then dry thoroughly.
Important: do not use methylated spirit, diluents or
similar products.

Cleaning the filters
Your dryer will only function well if the filters are
clean.
The filters collect all the fluff which accumulates
during drying and they must therefore be cleaned at
the end of each programme, before removing the
laundry, with a damp cloth.

Unpacking
Warning !
Once in its permanent operating position, check that
the dryer is absolutely level with the aid of a spirit
level. If it is not, raise or lower the two adjustable
feet at the front of the machine until it is.
Slide out the polythene bag containing the
polystyrene block before using the appliance.
Pull off adhesive strips from inside machine on
top of drum
P0046
The feet must never be removed.
Do not restrict the floor clearance through deep-
pile carpets, strips of wood or similar. This might
cause heat build-up which would interfere with
the operation of the appliance.
P1106
Important
For a correct functioning of the appliance, the room
temperature must not be lower than +5°C and higher
than +35°C.
Positioning
It is recommended that, for your convenience, the
machine is positioned close to your washing
machine.
Whilst drying, the tumble dryer will expel a certain
amount of warm, very moist air, and this should be
removed from the room as quickly as possible to
prevent condensation. In an extremely well ventilated
room or close to an open window, this may occur
naturally.
Fitting the vent hose
To simplify the installation, there is a choice of vent
outlets: one at the back, the others in the left and
right-hand side.
Connect the hose to whichever is the more
convenient by pulling the ring nut (A) from the vent
outlet at the back, screwing it on to the hose and
pushing it firmly back into place.
The unused vents should now be sealed with the
special snap covers provided.
However, in general, it is better to carry the dryer's
exhaust outside via the 100 mm diameter flexible
hose supplied with the appliance; ending either
temporarily at an open window, or permanently at a
fixed ventilation grille, fitted to an exterior wall or
window.
A
The tumble dryer must be installed in a clean place,
where dirt does not build up.
Make sure there are no obstructing items or material
near the air-intake louvres provided at the back (e.g.
paper, rags etc.).
To keep vibration and noise to a minimum when the
dryer is in use, it should be placed on a firm, level
surface.
A
P1028
P1027
16
Advice: If the hose is long and the room temperature
low, the moisture might condense to water inside the
hose. This is an unavoidable natural phenomenon.
To prevent this water from lying in the hose or
flowing back into the tumble dryer, it is advisable to
drill a small hole (dia. 3 mm) in the lowest point of
the hose and to place a small container below it.(See
picture, point B).
In order to prevent the appliance from overheating, it
is important that the steam exhaust is unobstructed.
Therefore, in case of a permanent hose fitted to an
exterior wall or ceiling, it must be ensured an exhaust
capacity of at least 150 m3/h.
If the dryer is fitted next to kitchen units, make
sure that the vent hose is not squashed. If the hose
is partially squashed, drying efficiency will be
reduced, resulting in longer drying times and
higher energy consumption.
If the hose is completely squashed, the safety cut-
outs with which the machine is fitted may operate.
Door reversal
B
P1056
To make it easier to load or unload the laundry the
door can be reversed.
Once connected to the dryer, run the vent hose to the
desired outlet point, ensuring that the run’s overall
length is less than 2 m, and that it contains no more
than two bends. As to the outlet itself, if you have
decided on a fixed wall/window grille, a good local
builder’s merchant should be able to supply you with
the necessary fittings and installation advice.
This operation must be carried out by qualified
personnel.
Please contact the nearest Service Force Centre.
This will be a chargeable option.
Stacking kit
A special stacking kit is available through your
dealer, to enable the mounting of the dryer on top of
your washing machine.
It is important not to connect the vent
hose to, for example, a cooker hood,
or a chimney or flue pipe designed to
carry the exhaust from a fuel burning
appliance.
P1107
P0055
Note that to avoid condensation problems, it is
essential that the dryer be fitted with the flexible hose
to carry its “exhaust” at least beyond the kitchen
units; preferably outside the kitchen.
17
Electrical connection
Permanent connection
Any electrical work required to install this appliance
should be carried out by a qualified electrician or
competent person.
In the case of permanent connection it is necessary
that you install a double pole switch between the
appliance and the electricity supply (mains), with a
