Installation  
Where to put your dryer  
Water drain  
GB  
G
Place your dryer at a distance from gas ranges,  
stoves, heaters, or cook tops because flames can  
damage the appliance.  
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.  
Minimum gap 10mm  
G
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

For best results:  
1. Do not load more than the maximum capacity. These numbers refer to the dry weight:  
Fabric  
Maximum load  
2.5kg  
2kg  
Cotton and Cotton mixtures  
Synthetics  
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

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 60 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.  
Programme option modifiers  
Mixed Dry  
Available with Cotton High Heat and Synthetic programmes.  
This option used after selecting either a Cupboard Dry or Hanger Dry dryness level. This allows you to remove  
items when they have reached Hanger Dry or Iron Dry.  
When the dryer detects that the load has reached Iron Dry, the display shows: IRON DRY REACHED and the  
buzzer sounds for 2 minutes, open the door and remove items that you need to iron.  
Then close the door and press the Start/Pause button  
and the programme resumes.  
! If you do not open the door during the 2 minute period, the dryer will resume drying without you pressing the  
Start/Pause button.  
Hanger Dry programme then continues and ends with END OF CYCLE. EMPTY THE WATER BOTTLE  
Cupboard Dry programme continues until the dryer detects that the load has reached Hanger Dry, the display  
shows: HANGER DRY REACHED and the buzzer sounds for 2 minutes, open the door and remove any items that  
you need to hang up to finish drying.  
Then close the door and press the Start/Pause button  
and the programme resumes.  
! If you do not open the door during the 2 minute period, the dryer will resume drying without you pressing the  
Start/Pause button.  
When Cupboard Dry dryness level reached, the dryer completed the cool tumble (and, if selected, Post Care) and  
ends with END OF CYCLE. EMPTY WATER BOTTLE  
Mini Load  
Available with Cotton High Heat and Synthetic programmes. Used for loads between 1 and 2kg.  
This programme optimises Automatic programme for smaller loads and improves the Time to End estimation.

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 (see 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:  
G
Amount of water retained in clothes after spin  
cycle: towels and delicates retain a lot of water.  
The times given are for Cupboard Dry Automatic  
programmes.  
G
Fabrics: items that are the same type of fabric but  
different textures and thicknesses may not have  
the same drying time.  
Timed Dry settings are also shown, to help you  
choose a suitable time option.

Disposal of old electrical appliances  
The European Directive 2002/96/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.

Do not use the dryer unless the filter, water  
container and condenser are securely in place  
(see Maintenance).  
Do not use liquid fabric softeners in the dryer, add  
it to the final rinse of your wash.  
Do not overload the dryer (see Laundry for  
maximum loads).  
Do not load items that are dripping wet.  
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.

tan  
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  
I
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.

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).  
G
The display shows a fault  
code F followed by one or two  
numbers.
