If damaged do not use and please call GIAS Service. Do not use adapters, multiple connectors and/or extensions. This machine should not be installed in a bathroom or shower room. Never install the dryer against curtains and be sure to prevent items from falling or collecting behind the dryer. Use WARNING Misuse of a tumble dryer may create a fire hazard. This machine is solely for domestic use, i.e. to dry household textiles and garments. This machine should only be used for its intended purpose as described in this manual. Ensure that the instructions for installation and use are fully understood before operating the appliance. Do not touch the appliance when hands or feet are damp or wet. Do not lean on the door when loading the machine or use the door to lift or move the machine. Do not allow children to play with the machine or its controls. WARNING Do not use the product if the fluff filter is not in position or is damaged; fluff could be ignited. WARNING Where the hot surface symbol is located the temperature rise during operation of the tumble dryer may be in excess of 60 degrees C. Remove the plug from the electricity supply. Always remove the plug before cleaning the appliance. Do not continue to use this machine if it appears to be faulty. Lint and fluff must not be allowed to collect on the floor around the outside of the machine. The drum inside may be very hot. Always allow the dryer to complete the cool down period before removing the laundry. 4 40001766Eng.qxd 10/08/2004 18:20 Page 5 The Laundry WARNING Do not tumble dry fabrics treated with dry cleaning fluids. WARNING Foam rubber materials can, under certain circumstances, when heated become ignited by spontaneous combustion. Foam plastic, foam rubber and rubber-like material are not suitable for tumble drying. Articles made from these materials MUST NOT be placed in the dryer. Always refer to the laundry care labels for directions on suitability for drying. Clothes should be spin dried or thoroughly wrung before they are put into the tumble dryer. Clothes that are dripping wet should NOT be put into the dryer. Lighters and matches must not be left in pockets and NEVER use flammable liquids near the machine. Glass fibre curtains should NEVER be put in this machine. Skin irritation may occur if other garments are contaminated with the glass fibres. Garments treated or contaminated with flammable cleaning sprays or liquids such as petrol, cooking oil or aerosol sprays MUST NOT be put in this machine. Environmental Issues All packaging materials used are environmentally-friendly and recyclable. Please help dispose of the packaging via environmentally-friendly means. Your local council will be able to give you details of current means of disposal. To ensure safety when disposing of an old tumble dryer disconnect the mains plug from the socket, cut the mains power cable and destroy this together with the plug. To prevent children shutting themselves in the machine break the door hinges or the door lock. GIAS Service To ensure the continued safe and efficient operation of this appliance we recommend that any servicing or repairs are only carried out by an authorised GIAS Service engineer. If the appliance is not running properly or breaks down, switch it off and disconnect the plug from the socket. Consult GIAS Service for possible repair. 5 40001766Eng.qxd 10/08/2004 18:20 Page 6 Installation You may be charged for a service call if a problem with your machine is caused by incorrect installation. Electrical requirements Tumble dryers are supplied to operate at a voltage of 230V, 50 Hz single phase. Check that the supply circuit is rated to at least 10A. Electricity can be extremely dangerous. This appliance must be earthed. The socket outlet and the plug on the appliance must be of the same type. Do not use multiple adapters and/or extension leads. If the mains cord on this appliance is damaged, it must be replaced by a special cord which is ONLY obtainable from the spares service. It must be installed by a competent person. The plug should be accessible for disconnection after the appliance has been installed. The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following codes: Blue Brown Green and Yellow NEUTRAL LIVE EARTH CE Appliance complies with European Directive 89/336/EEC, 73/23/EEC and subsequent amendments. Do not plug the machine in and switch it on at the mains until the installation is completed. For your safety, this dryer must be correctly installed. If there is any doubt about installation, call GIAS Service for advice. Adjusting the feet Once the machine is in place the feet should be adjusted to ensure that the machine is level. Adjust the four feet to ensure the machine is firm and level. 6 40001766Eng.qxd 10/08/2004 18:20 Page 7 Ventilation Adequate ventilation must be provided in the room where the tumble dryer is located to prevent gases from appliances burning other fuels, including open fires, being drawn into the room during operation of the tumble dryer. 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 inlet and outlets should be kept free from obstructions. To ensure adequate ventilation the space between the bottom of the machine and the floor must not be obstructed. There should be a gap of at least 12mm between the machine and any obstructions. Prevent items from falling or collecting behind the dryer as these may obstruct the air inlet and outlet. NEVER install the dryer up against curtains. 1 WALL DRYER If the dryer is installed under a worktop or builtin, 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 is assembled and fitted to the machine as shown. The hose may be fitted through a wall or through an open door or window (Fig. 1). 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. 7 40001766Eng.qxd 10/08/2004 18:20 Page 8 Preparing the load Before using the tumble dryer for the first time: Please read this instruction book thoroughly. Remove all items packed inside drum. Wipe the inside of the drum and door with a damp cloth to remove any dust which may have settled in transit. Clothes preparation Make sure that the laundry you are going to dry is suitable for drying in a tumble dryer, as shown by the care symbols on each item. Check that all fastenings are closed and that pockets are empty. Turn the articles inside out. Place clothes loosely in the drum to make sure that they don't get tangled. Do not overload the drum, large items when wet can exceed the maximum admissible clothes load (for example: sleeping bags, duvets).
