Drying Hints

Before loading the laundry

Never tumble dry the following Particularly delicate items such as net curtains, woollen, silk fabrics with metal trim, nylon tights, bulky materials such as anoraks, blankets, eiderdowns, sleeping bags, feather quilts and any items containing rubber foam or materials similar to rubber foam.

Always follow the instructions on garment labels:

may be tumble dried

normal drying (high temperature)

delicate drying (low temperature)

do not tumble dry

Close pillowcases and covers with fasteners to prevent small laundry items getting tangled inside them. Close press studs, zips and hooks and tie belts and apron strings. Sort laundry according to type and degree of drying required.
Do not over-dry laundry, this avoids creasing and saves energy.
Avoid drying dark clothes with light coloured fluffy items such as towels as they could attract the fluff.
The laundry must be thoroughly spun before tumble drying.
Easy-care items, too, e. g. shirts should be briefly pre-spun before drying.
Knitted textiles(knitted underwear) may shrink a little during drying. Please do not over-dry items of this type. It is advisable to allow for shrinkage when choosing the size of new purchases.
You can also put starched items into your dryer. However, to achieve the desired starched effect, choose the programme "Iron dry”.To remove any starch residues, wipe out the internal drum after drying with a moist cloth and then rub it dry.
To avoid a static charge when drying is completed, use either a fabric softener when you are washing the laundry or a fabric conditioner specifically for tumble dryers.
Remove the laundry when the dryer has finished drying.
If individual items are still damp after drying, set a brief post-drying time, but at least 30 minutes, This will be necessary particularly for multilayered items (e.g. collars, pockets, etc.)

Make sure that no metal objects are left in the laundry (e.g. hair clips, safety pins, pins)

Button up pillowcases, close zip fasteners, hooks and poppers. Tie any belts or long tapes. To avoid laundry becoming tangled:
Close zips, button up duvet covers and tie loose ties or ribbons(e.g.of aprons). Turn items with double-layered fabrics inside out(e.g.with cotton-lined anoraks, the cotton layer should be outermost).These fabrics will then dry better. Remove all objects from pockets such as lighters and matches.

Maximum loads

Recommended loads are indicated in the program charts:
General rules:
Cotton, linen: drum full but not too tightly packed;
Synthetics: drum no more than half full;
Delicate fabrics and woollens: drum no more than quarter full.
Try to load the maximum capacity of the machine as small loads are uneconomical.

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. However, in general, it is better to carry the dryer's exhaust outside via the vent 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.
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.

Note: If the floor is uneven, adjust the adjustable feet. Do not put any wooden pieces or other objects underfoot bases.

Level adjustment

When pushing down the edges of the dryer top plate diagonally, the machine should not move up and down at all.(please check both of two directions) if the machine rocks when pushing the machine top plate diagonally, adjust the feet again.

Loosen the locknuts.
Adjust the adjustable feet to lower the dryer by turning right and to ascend it by turning left.
Tighten the locknut after insuring the dryer is level.

Note: The locknuts must be tightened after adjustment. Any looseness can cause vibration and noise.

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.

Important: The hot air emitted by the tumble dryer can reach temperatures of up to 60°C. The appliance must there not be installed in floors which are not resistant to high temperatures.

Fitting the vent hose

To simplify the installation, there is a choice of vent outlets: one at the back, the other in the left-hand side. Connect the hose to whichever is the more convenient by pulling the ring nut (A)from the vent outlet at the back, aligning arrows of hose and ring nut, fastening by screwing hose to the direction of the arrow and pushing it firmly back into place. The unused vents should now be sealed with the special snap cover (B) provided.

Advice:
If the hose is long and the room temperature low, the moisture might condense 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).
Once connected to the dryer, run the vent hose to the desired outlet point, 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.

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. Note that to avoid condensation problems, it is essential that the dryer is fitted with the flexible hose to carry it outside the kitchen. In order to prevent the appliance from overheating, it is important that the steam exhaust is unobstructed.
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.

Warning: This Appliance Must be Earthed.

Electrical connection Any electrical work required to install this appliance should be carried out by a qualified electrician or competent person.

The manufacturer declines any liability should this safety measure not be observed. Before switching on, make sure the electricity supply voltage is the same as that indicated on the appliance's rating plate.

Should the plug need to be replaced for any reason, proceed as described below. The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code:

Green and Yellow - Earth
Blue - Neutral
Brown - Live

The wire coloured green and yellow must be connected to the terminal marked with the letter or by the earth symbol or coloured green and yellow.

Warning:

A cut off plug inserted into a socket is a serious safety (shock) hazard.
Ensure that the cut off plug is disposed of safely.
Permanent connection.
In the case of a permanent connection, it is necessary that you install a double pole switch.
The switch must not break the yellow and green earth cable at any point.

Ecological hints

To save energy and to help protect the environment, we recommend that you follow these hints: Try to load the maximum capacity of the machine as small loads are uneconomical.

Do not over-dry laundry, this avoids creasing and saves energy.
Select the drying programme according to the type of laundry and the required degree of dryness.
Clean the filters regularly to avoid excessive drying times and high electricity consumption.
Ventilate the room well.

Marking explanation

V		Volt	~	Alternating current
W		Watt	Hz	Hertz
	Tested safety		CE marking		risk of fire

Oil-affected items can ignite spontaneously, especially when exposed to heat sources such as in a tumble dryer. The items become warm, causing an oxidation reaction in the oil. Oxidation creates heat. If the heat cannot escape, the items can become hot enough to catch fire. Piling, stacking or storing oil-affected items can prevent heat from escaping and so create a fire hazard. If it is unavoidable that fabrics that contain vegetable or cooking oil or have been contaminated by hair care products be placed in a tumble dryer they should first be washed in hot water with extra detergent - this will reduce, but not eliminate, the hazard.
