FLUFF FILTER  
You must clean the fluff filter after EVERY drying cycle.  
Step 1  
Step 4  
Open the door of your dryer.  
Refit the filter with the curved  
side towards you.  
Step 2  
Step 5  
Pull out the filter (using the two  
finger grips).  
Make sure the filter is pushed  
fully home - NEVER run the dryer  
without the filter in position.  
Step 3  
Failure to clean the filter after EVERY drying cycle will affect  
the drying performance of your machine.  
Open the filter and clean any fluff  
deposits from the filter mesh.  
!
It will take longer to dry and as a result will use more  
electricity during drying.  
You MUST empty the water container after EVERY drying cycle.  
Failure to empty the water container will cause the machine to stop heating and the load may still be wet at the end of the  
drying cycle. The ‘Empty Water’ light will tell you that the water container is full and needs emptying.

Warnings and Suggestions  
fabrics containing vegetable or cooking oil or those that have been  
SAFETY REASONS  
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. The cool tumble phase should be  
used to reduce the temperature of the items. They should not be  
removed from the dryer and piled or stacked while hot.  
This tumble dryer is not intended for use by persons (including  
children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities  
or lack of experience and knowledge unless they have been given  
supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a  
person responsible for their safety.  
Do not tumble dry items that have previously been cleaned in,  
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.  
Children must not be in proximity of the dryer when in use.  
After using the dryer turn it off and unplug it. Keep the door closed  
to make sure that children do not use it as a toy. Children should  
be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the dryer.  
Never use the dryer on carpeting where the pile height would  
prevent air from entering the dryer from the base.  
The back of the dryer could become very hot. Never touch it  
while in use.  
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.  
Complete each programme with its Cool Tumble phase. Do not  
turn off the dryer when there are still warm items inside. Clean  
the filter after each use. Do not allow lint to collect around the  
dryer.  
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.  
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 tumble dry undergarments that contain metal  
reinforcements e.g. bras with metal reinforcing wires. Damage  
to the tumble dryer can result if the metal reinforcements come  
loose during drying.  
Do not tumble 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 which 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  
Remove all objects from pockets, especially lighters  
(risk of explosion).  
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.  
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.  
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.  
This appliance conforms to the following EC Directives: - 2006/95/EC (Low Voltage Equipment) - 2004/108/EC  
(Electromagnetic Compatibility)
