[. . . ] Exhaust air must not be discharged into a flue which is used for exhausting fumes from appliances burning gas or other fuels. Check regularly that the air flowing through the dryer is not restricted: Check the fluff filter after use, and clean, if necessary. The venting hose or duct should be checked periodically and any accumulation of fluff removed. If the dryer is used frequently the period between checks should be reduced accordingly. [. . . ] There should be a gap of at least 12mm (0. 5 inches) between the sides and rear of the machine and the surrounding walls and cabinets. To ensure adequate ventilation the space between the bottom of the machine and the floor must not be obstructed. Prevent items from falling or collecting behind the dryer as these may obstruct the air inlet and outlet. The use of the venting hose to exhaust hot air to the external atmosphere is strongly recommended to ensure maximum drying efficiency. Protect the external outlet from prevailing winds to ensure back-draughts do not reduce the drying performance. 4 If the dryer is installed under a worktop or built-in, it is essential to use the venting hose to carry the hot moist air away from the dryer otherwise re-circulation of the moist air will prevent the dryer from working efficiently. The hose may be fitted through a wall or through an open door or window (fig. 2). The hose is 95mm (3. 75 inches) in diameter and will extend up to 1. 8 metres (6 feet). Venting hoses longer than 1. 8 metres (6 feet) are not recommended as the dryer performance will be reduced. Ensure that the venting hose is not kinked as this will prevent the dryer from working efficiently. 40000183. qxd 11/3/04 5:31 pm Page 5 Preparing the load Preparing the load Before using the dryer for the first time wipe the inside of the drum and door with a damp cloth.

Synthetics: Blouses, shirts, overalls, etc. G For delicate articles press the `HEAT SETTING' button to select low drying temperature. Clothes preparation Check that all fastenings are closed and that pockets are empty. Place clothes loosely in the drum to make sure that they don't get tangled. Warning: Do not overload the drum, large items when wet can exceed the maximum admissible clothes load (for example: sleeping bags, duvets). Do not tumble dry: Woollens, silk, delicate fabrics, nylon stockings, delicate embroidery, fabrics with metallic decorations, garments with PVC or leather trimmings, training shoes, bulky items such as sleeping bags, etc. IMPORTANT: Do not dry articles which have been treated with a dry cleaning fluid or rubber clothes (danger of fire or explosion). Maximum drying weight G Cottons Max. 3 kg Energy saving Only put into the tumble dryer laundry which has been thoroughly wrung or spin-dried. The drier the laundry the shorter the drying time thus saving electricity. ALWAYS try to dry the maximum weight of laundry, this will save time and electricity. NEVER exceed the maximum weight, this will waste time and electricity. NEVER put dripping wet items into the tumble dryer, this may damage the appliance. Sort the load as follows: A) By care symbols On the collar or inside seam: Suitable for tumble drying. [. . . ] If drying delicate items press the `HEAT SETTING' button to reduce the heat level. Turn `DRYING TIME' dial until the required drying time aligns with the symbol (M). Gently close the door pushing it slowly until you hear the door `click' shut. The indicator will light and the drying cycle begins. 9 40000183. qxd 11/3/04 5:31 pm Page 10 Cleaning Technical Data Cleaning the dryer IMPORTANT: Always switch off and remove the plug from the electricity supply before cleaning this appliance.
