finger grips).

Clean the fluff off the filter and

replace it correctly.

Make sure the filter is pushed fully home -

NEVER run the dryer without the filter in position.

Failure to clean the filter after EVERY drying

cycle will affect the drying performance of your

machine.
It will take longer to dry and as a result will use

more electricity during drying

WHERE TO INSTALL THE TUMBLE DRYER

Install the dryer far from

gas ranges, stoves, radiators

or hobs as flames may

damage it. If the dryer is

installed below a worktop,

ensure there are 10 mm

between the upper panel of

the dryer and any objects

above it and 15 mm between

the sides of the machine

and the walls or furniture units adjacent to it. This

ensures adequate air circulation.The appliance

must be installed with the rear surface placed

against a wall.

! 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

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.

WATER DRAINAGE CONNECTION

If the 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. The height of the drain
must be less than 1m from the bottom of
the dryer. Remove the existing hose from
the dryer and connect it to the drain (if
required add an additional length of hose).

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS

The socket must be grounded.

! The power cord must 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.

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.

CONDENSER UNIT

You MUST clean the fluff from the condenser

EVERY month. Failure to clean the condenser

could cause premature failure of your dryer.

Remove the condenser unit regularly (at least

monthly) and clean off any fluff deposits.

WATER CONTAINER

You

MUST

empty the water container after

EVERY

drying cycle. Removing the water container:

Step 1

Pull the water container

towards you and remove it

completely from the dryer.

Step 2

Empty all the water in the

water container.

Step 3

container making sure that it is securely fixed.

! Failure to empty the water container will

cause the machine to stop heating and the

cycle. The ‘Empty Water’ light will tell you

that the water container needs to be emptied
