Slide out the polythene bag containing the polystyrene block before using the appliance. Pull off adhesive strips from inside machine on top of drum. Keep all packaging away from children Important The hot air emitted by the tumble dryer can reach temperatures of up to 60°C. The appliance must be sited in a well ventilated room but not be installed on floors which are not resistant to high temperatures. When operating the tumble dryer, the room temperature must not be lower than +5°C and no higher than +35°C, as it may affect the performance of the appliance. Fitting the vent hose Depending on the position of the tumble dryer to an outside wall there is a choice of 3 vent outlets: One at the back, the others on the left or right hand side. Connect the hose to whichever is the more convenient by pulling the ring nut (A) from the vent outlet at the back, screwing it on to the hose and pushing it firmly back into place. The unused vents should now be sealed with the special snap covers provided. P1106 Should the appliance be moved, it must be transported vertically. A Positioning It is recommended that, for your convenience, the machine is positioned close to your washing machine. The tumble dryer must be installed in a clean place, where dirt does not build up. Air must be able to circulate freely all around the appliance. It is important to ensure the air intake grills on the back of the dryer are not obstructed with any materials (e.g. paper, rags etc.). Obstructing the grills could be dangerous or at least seriously impair the efficiency of the tumble dryer. To keep vibration and noise to a minimum when the dryer is in use, it should be placed on a firm, level surface. Once in its permanent operating position, check that the dryer is absolutely level with the aid of a spirit level. If it is not, raise or lower the feet until it is. P1028 A P1027 Advice: If the hose is long and the room temperature low, the moisture might condense to water inside the hose. This is nothing to be concerned about. 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). P1056 B . P0046 The feet must never be removed. Do not restrict the floor clearance through deeppile carpets, strips of wood or similar. This might cause heat build-up which would interfere with the operation of the appliance. 7 Once connected to the dryer, run the vent hose to the desired outlet point, ensuring that the run's overall length is less than 2 m, and that 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 items designed to carry exhaust from a fuel burning appliance, eg. cooked hoods, chimney or flue pipes. Stacking kit (optional accessory) It should be possible to stack your new dryer on top of a front loading washing machine with a cover's depth between 48 and 60 cm. Read carefully the instructions supplied with the stacking kit. Please contact your local John Lewis branch for further advice. P1107 Door reversal P0055 Hints and Tips Note that to avoid condensation problems, it is essential that the dryer be fitted with the flexible hose to carry its "exhaust" at least beyond the kitchen units; preferably outside the kitchen. In order to prevent the appliance from overheating, it is important that the steam exhaust is unobstructed. Therefore, in case of a permanent hose fitted to an exterior wall or ceiling, it must be ensured an exhaust capacity of at least 150 m3/h. 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 cutouts with which the machine is fitted may operate. To make it easier to load or unload the laundry the door can be reversed. This operation must be carried out by qualified personnel. Please contact the telephone number given under Repairs - After Sales Service, page 19. 8 Electrical connection Any electrical work required to install this appliance should be carried out by a qualified electrician or competent person. 4. Upon completion there must be no cut, or stray strands of wire present and the cord clamp must be secure over the outer sheath. WARNING: THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED. Should the appliance power supply cable need to be replaced, this must be carried out by a Service Force agent (see page 19). The manufacturer declines any liability should this safety measure not be observed. WARNING: A cut off plug inserted into a 13 amp socket is a serious safety (shock) hazard. Ensure that the cut off plug is disposed of safely. The plug must still be accessible after the appliance has been installed. The appliance should not be connected to the electrical supply by means of an extension cable Before switching on, make sure the electricity supply voltage is the same as that indicated on the appliance's rating plate. (See picture on page 5). The appliance is supplied with a 13amp plug fitted. In the event of having to change the fuse in the plug supplied, a 13amp ASTA approved BS 1363/A fuse must be used. 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 Blue Brown GREEN & YELLOW E 13 A Permanent connection In the case of permanent connection it is necessary that you install a double pole switch between the appliance and the electricity supply (mains), with a minimum gap of 3mm between the switch contacts and of a type suitable for the required load in compliance with the current electrical regulations. The switch must not break the yellow and green earth cable at any point. - Earth - Neutral - Live N L BROWN BLUE P1041 CORD CLAMP If you fit your own plug, the colours of the wires in the mains lead of your appliance may not correspond with the markings identifying the terminals in your plug. Proceed as follows: 1. Connect the Green and Yellow (earth) wire to the terminal in the plug which is marked with the letter "E" or the earth symbol or coloured green and yellow. 2.

Care Labels you may find on your laundry may be tumble dried normal drying (high temperature) delicate drying (low temperature) do not tumble dry · Always load well spun laundry. The higher the spin speed the lower the electricity consumption and the shorter the drying time. · DO NOT load dripping wet laundry into the dryer. Roll the article in a towel or spin to remove excess water. · Close poppers and zips and fasten any buttons. · Sort the laundry. Separate synthetics from cotton/linens, and dry separately. · Remove the laundry immediately after the programme has finished. · Use a fabric conditioning sheet to reduce static. We recommend the sheet is pinned to an article of laundry (using a safety pin). · Mix the load i.e. large and small articles. · When drying large items such as sheets, we recommend you periodically stop the dryer to redistribute the load. Do not overload the appliance. Here is a list of the approximate weight of some common laundry items. Sheet Pillowcase Tablecloth Table Napkin Kitchen Towel Linen Hand Towel Hand Towel Bath Towel Bathrobe Shirt Apron 700 to 1000 g 100 to 200 g 400 to 500 g 50 to 100 g 70 to 120 g 100 to 150 g 150 to 250 g 700 to 1000 g 1000 to 1500 g 200 to 300 g 150 to 200 g DO NOT use the tumble dryer to dry the following: · Articles contaminated with inflammable substances e.g. petrol, cleaning solvents, cooking oil, fats or hair lacquer. · Woollen and synthetic/wool mixtures unless the item is labelled as suitable for tumble drying. · Very delicate articles such as silk. · Very large and bulky items such as duvets or sleeping bags. 15 Maintenance and Cleaning You must disconnect the appliance from the electricity supply, before you can carry out any cleaning or maintenance work. External cleaning Use only soap and water and then dry thoroughly. Important: do not use methylated spirit, diluents or similar products. After a while, a whitish coating due to detergent residue on laundry forms on the filters. When this occurs, clean the filters with warm water using a brush. Remove the filter in the door opening as per picture (it can be positioned with the tooth facing to the left or to the right). 80' - 100' 70' 55' 800 / 900 1000 / 1200 kg 5 kg 2,5 70' - 90' 35' - 50' 800 / 900 1000 / 1200 65' - 85' 30' - 45' 75' - 95' 50' - 65' kg 2,5 kg 1 50' - 60' 30' - 35' 650 E RS VE RE TO AU Cleaning the door Clean periodically the interior part of the door to remove any fluff from the seals around the filter.

Cleaning the drum P1109 Cleaning the filters Your dryer will only function well if the filters are clean. The filters collect all the fluff which accumulates during drying and they must therefore be cleaned at the end of each programme, before removing the laundry, with a damp cloth. The FILTER light reminds you to carry out this operation. E RS VE RE TO AU If the laundry is not drying to the level of dryness you have set, either too dry or too damp, we advise you to clean the inside of the drum with a cloth soaked with vinegar. This will eliminate the slight residue of detergent and softeners used in the washing, or to any residue lime contained in the water. A build up of these residues will prevent the sensors from correctly measuring the degree of dryness of the laundry. kg 5 kg 2,5 70' - 90' 35' - 50' 800 / 900 1000 / 1200 65' - 85' 30' - 45' 80' - 100' 70' 55' - 800 / 900 1000 / 1200 75' - 95' 50' - 65' kg 2,5 kg 1 50' - 60' 30' - 35' 650 P1110 P1111 The filter in the inner door must be removed for cleaning. Do not be alarmed by the amount of fluff. It is not due to excessive wear caused by the dryer. All fabric looses fluff when line-drying but it goes un-noticed in the air. In a tumble dryer it simply collects in the filter. 16 Adjusting the level of conductivity Water contains, a variable quantity of limestone and mineral salts of which quantities vary according to geographical locations thus varying its conductivity values. Relevant variations of the conductivity of the water compared to those prefixed by the factory could slightly influence the residual humidity of the laundry at the end of the cycle. Your dryer allows you to regulate the sensitivity of the drying sensor based on conductivity values of the water by using the following procedure. To establish the hardness of your water to correspond with the table opposite please contact your local water authority. Display Conductivity degree Low Medium High Approximative value (µS/cm) < 300 300 - 600 > 600 C0 C0 C0 Memorising the new setting: Simultaneously press down the buttons 3 and 6 until the previous drying cycle time appears again on the display and the buzzer sounds.
