How to dry correctly How to dry correctly 1 Prepare the laundry As far as possible, sort laundry for: – the type of fibre or weave Do not overload the drum. Overloading can cause unnecessary wear and tear to the laundry and give a disappointing drying result. – the degree of dryness required – similar size of items – the moisture content after spinning. This will help towards achieving an even drying result. See the programme chart for maximum loads.
How to dry correctly 3 Select a programme 5 At the end of a programme Turn the programme selector to the programme required. Turn the programme selector to the r End position. Select low temperature L if required. Press the door a button to open the door. If the machine is fitted with a coin mechanism / time counter: Press the Light n button. Insert coins or tokens. Remove the laundry from the dryer. Remember to empty the coin / token box regularly, so that it does not become blocked.
Changing a programme Changing a programme To cancel a programme Turn the programme selector switch to the r End position. For safety reasons all programmes where the residual moisture content is monitored have a maximum running time of 130 minutes, after which period the heater elements are switched off and the cooling down phase commences. To select a different programme during drying Turn the programme selector to the required programme. The new programme starts from the beginning.
Cleaning and care Cleaning and care Cleaning the fluff filters The fluff which occurs during drying is collected in the fluff filters in the door and in the door opening. Clean the filters after every programme to reduce drying time and save energy. Open the door and pull the fluff filter up out of the door holder. Remove the fluff from: – the filter in the door – the filters in the door opening (do not use sharp or pointed objects.).
Cleaning and care Casing and drum Disconnect the machine from the mains electricity supply. Avoid contact of stainless steel surfaces (front, lid, casing) with liquid cleaning and disinfecting agents which contain chlorine or sodium hypochlorite. These agents can have a corrosive effect on stainless steel. Aggressive vapours containing chlorine bleach can also be corrosive. Do not store open containers or these agents near the machine.
Problem solving guide Problem solving guide What to do if . . . ? With the help of the following notes minor faults in the performance of the machine, some of which may result from incorrect operation, can be put right without contacting the Service Department. Repairs to the machine should only be undertaken by a suitably qualified service engineer to ensure safety. Unauthorised repairs could be dangerous. Fault The machine fails to start when switched on. The progamme has been interrupted.
Problem solving guide Fault Drying times are too long. Possible cause The fluff filters might be clogged up. Ventilation to and from the dryer is insufficient (e.g. in a small room). The ventilation ducting or room ventilation (e.g. window or wall vents are blocked. The laundry was not sufficiently spun. Remedy – Clean as described in “Cleaning and Care”. – Open a door or window while the machine is operating to increase air flow. – Remove any objects that are causing the blockage.
Problem solving guide Fault There is a build up of fluff. Possible cause Fluff comes off textiles naturally during wearing and washing. The fluff that collects in the filters of a tumble dryer has no effect on the lifetime of your laundry. Items made of synthetic fibres are charged with static electricity after drying. The interior drum light- The lamp is defective. ing does not come on when the n button is pressed. 20 Remedy – Remove any fluff from the fluff filter (see “Cleaning and Care”).
Problem solving guide To change the lamp Disconnect the machine from the mains electricity supply. To open the door during a power cut Open the door. Pull the door open. Unscrew the plastic cover inside the drum, above the door. The lamp must not exceed the maximum wattage quoted on the data plate and on the plastic light cover.

Installation Aligning the machine Take into consideration the space required by the vent duct when calculating the distance between the machine and a wall or other appliances etc. to the sides or rear of the machine. A ventilation gap of 10 mm must be maintained between the base of the machine and the floor. This must not be blocked by sealing strips, deep pile carpet etc., as otherwise there will be insufficient flow of cool air for the machine to function correctly.
Installation - venting Installation - venting Fitting the exhaust ducting The moist air produced during drying has to be vented to the outside. The dryer must only be operated when it is correctly fitted with exhaust ducting. The exhaust connection may be made: – to the rear of the machine (the machine is supplied as standard with this connection point open) or – to the left of the machine. The side exhaust connection has a cover cap.
Installation - venting The following materials are suitable for the exhaust ducting: – galvanized steel – plastic ducting – flexible ducting. Note that all ducting must be of a suitable heat resistant specification. Install the exhaust ducting so that the expelled exhaust air cannot be sucked into the machine again. Standard accessories include an adapter for the exhaust ducting: Application: In installations where conditions do not allow the machine to be permanently connected to a ducting system.
Installation - venting To calculate the effective duct length: Calculating the duct length Measure the actual duct length. The shortest passage for the expelled air is preferable, to ensure the tumble dryer functions most efficiently. Expelled air is slowed down in the vent duct due to friction against the inner walls of the duct, therefore the shorter the duct and the smoother the inner walls, the less friction occurs.
Installation - venting Example: Table II Overall duct length 0 - 15 m 15 - 21 m 21 - 34 m Internal diameter 100 mm 110 mm 120 mm Flexible ducting has been used for the following example.
