- Misuse: Improper use or installation may result in the risk of fire, electric shock, and/or injury. We accept no liability for any eventual damages or injury caused by improper use or handling, or by any other noncompliance with the instructions in this manual.
CAUTION!
The items listed below are UNSUITABLE for clothes drying. They can cause a
fire in the dryer or extensive damage. DO NOT place them in the clothes dryer.
- Items containing foam rubber (also known as latex foam) or similarly textured rubber-like materials — when heated, these materials can spontaneously combust and cause a fire.
- Items that have been spotted or soaked with cooking oil, or with highly flammable substances — these substances constitute a fire hazard. Highly flammable substances used in domestic environments include acetone, alcohol, petrol, kerosene, some stain removers, dry-cleaning solvents, turpentine, waxes, wax removers, and some hair care products. (This also includes items that have previously been cleaned or spotted with dry-cleaning solvents or other flammable or explosive substances.)
- If it is unavoidable that fabrics that contain vegetable or cooking oil, or that 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. The ‘cool down’ cycle of a clothes dryer should be used to reduce the temperature of the items. They should not be removed from the clothes dryer or piled or stacked while hot.
- Undergarments that contain metal reinforcements (such as underwire bras), can come loose during drying and damage the clothes dryer.
- Plastic articles such as shower caps or waterproof baby bibs.
- Rubber-backed articles, clothes fitted with foam rubber pads, pillows, galoshes, and rubber-coated tennis shoes.
- Fabric softeners or similar products, unless specifically recommended by the product manufacturer for use in a clothes dryer to eliminate the effects of static electricity.
CAUTION!
- Do not use the tumble dryer if industrial chemicals have been used for cleaning.
- Do not dry unwashed items in the tumble dryer.
- Do not allow lint to accumulate around the tumble dryer. Clean the filter after every use.
- Adequate ventilation has to be provided to avoid the backflow of gases into the room from appliances burning other fuels, including open fires.
- Do not hang clothes or put weight on the dryer door while it is open.
- This symbol alerts you to take care as oil-affected items can ignite spontaneously, especially when exposed to heat, such as in a clothes 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.
CAUTION: HOT SURFACES!
- Parts of the appliance can become hot during use and retain heat for some time after turning off. Do not touch hot surfaces!
- To avoid scalding and creating a fire risk, do not stop the dryer before the end of the drying cycle, as parts of it may get hot during use. If you must remove items during the drying cycle, open the door, remove them quickly, and spread them out so that the heat is dissipated.
- The door window may be hot after a long drying cycle. Please ensure children are kept away from the machine.
- Do not use any combustible substances (for example, spray cans) close to the dryer while it is in operation. If gas has escaped from the can, do not touch the plug or start/pause the appliance.
Important safety advice regarding installation
- Install the dryer in a dry, well-ventilated area, away from heat and direct sunlight.
- Do NOT install the appliance:
- behind a lockable door, sliding door or a door with a hinge on the opposite side of the dryer, in such a way that a full opening of the tumble dryer door is restricted.
- in a tight-fitting cabinet
- in an area where it will be exposed to water or weather, which could cause permanent damage
- in an area where gas or flammable substances are used
- directly on top of a washing machine.
- All electrical connections must be made by qualified personnel and all instructions in this manual as well as local safety regulations are observed.
- Exhaust air must not be discharged into a flue which is used for exhausting fumes from appliances burning gas or other fuels.

Installation
Freestanding, floor-level installation
- Make sure the floor surface is firm, flat, dry, and stable, and there is an appropriate wall outlet nearby. Do not place the appliance on soft material such as foam, plastic or carpet, as this may block the air intake.
- Carefully stand the dryer upright and slide it into position, leaving a space of at least 200 mm between the dryer and any wall (Fig. 1).
- If placed in a room such as a bathroom, make sure the room is well-ventilated. Also, ensure there are no obstacles that obstruct the door of the dryer.
Leveling the machine
WARNING!
It is very important to level the dryer carefully, especially if your floor is
uneven. Failure to do so may result in the machine shaking and moving, or out-
of-balance problems.
Place the machine on solid, dry, and level ground. The machine must stand
perfectly level on all four feet to ensure safe and proper operation.
Incorrect installation may cause vibrations and noise and may cause the
machine to move about.
To determine whether leveling is necessary, place a spirit level on top of the
dryer and hold it upright against the housing to identify any inclinations. If
the machine needs leveling, proceed as follows (Fig. 2):
- Loosen the nut with a spanner, turning it anticlockwise to loosen.
- Adjust the foot by hand until it makes close contact with the floor. Turn it clockwise to lower the foot or anticlockwise to raise it.
Ventilation
Whilst drying, the tumble dryer is expected to vent a large amount of warm,
moist air, which should be removed from the room as quickly as possible to
prevent condensation. Place the dryer in an extremely well-ventilated room, or
close to an open window, to allow the moist air to exit freely.
WARNING!
The hot air emitted from the tumble dryer can reach temperatures of up to
60°C. The appliance must not be installed on floors — or placed near surfaces
— that are not resistant to high temperatures.
Electrical connection
This is a Class I electrical product, which has a power cord and plug with
three pins, including an earth pin.
- Once the clothes dryer is properly installed, plug the electrical cord into an appropriately earthed three-pin wall socket, switch on the power at the socket and try the machine according to the instructions below.
First Use
To remove any dust and grease, that may be in the drum from the manufacture
and transportation process, we recommend you run the dryer with some clean,
damp rags before using it for the first time with your laundry.
- Remove the polystyrene block and any materials from the drum.
- Make sure the dryer is properly connected and the power is switched on at the outlet.
- Put some clean, damp rags into the drum.
- Select the “Standard” and then by pressing the “Timing” button, choose 30 minutes.
- Press the START/PAUSE button and let the program run to the end.
- Remove the rags and clean the lint filter.
WARNING! This appliance must be earthed.
- In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, earthing will reduce the risk of an electric shock by providing a path of least resistance for the electric current.
- This appliance is equipped with a cord having an equipment-earthing conductor and an earthing plug. The plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is installed and earthed by all local standards and requirements.
- Do not modify the plug under any circumstances. If the plug does not fit your outlet, consult a licensed electrician and have the outlet changed.
CAUTION!
Make sure you read all safety precautions in this manual and are aware of the
items that may NOT be placed in a clothes dryer as they cause a hazard.
Preparing the load
- Prior to loading the dryer, check that none of the items have the following symbols on them, which indicate that items are UNSUITABLE for clothes drying (Fig. 3).
- The clothes dryer is intended only for drying textile material that has been washed in water and well-spin-dried. Dripping water may cause an electrical hazard. Thoroughly spin the laundry in your washing machine on a high spin speed, which can reduce the drying time and save energy consumption.
- As the dryer heat may permanently set stains, ensure you check prior to drying.
- For uniform drying results, sort the laundry according to fabric type and drying program. Separate dark and light-colored items as you would do when washing.
- Ensure that the items to be dried do not have combustible materials or foreign objects (such as lighters, hair pins, or coins) inside pockets.
- Turn items with zippers inside out, close zippers, hooks and eyelets, fasten buckles and tie fabric belts. This will also help reduce impact noise when the items hit the turning drum.
Loading the dryer
- Make sure the lint filter is clean and properly in place. It must be cleaned regularly.
- To avoid items getting tangled up in the dryer, which results in uneven drying, we recommend placing items into the dryer one at a time.
- Place small, delicate items in a mesh bag, but do not add too many to one bag. (It is not recommended to dry underwire bras in a clothes dryer.)
- When drying delicate items or a very small load (<1.5 kg), add a few lint-free cloths to aid even drying.
- When drying large items such as blankets or sheets, include a few small items to help balance the load. You may also need to open the dryer door and shake out the item from time to time, then place it back in the drum to ensure even drying.
- When closing the dryer door prior to starting the unit, ensure that items are not jammed in the door.
- To avoid creasing or static cling, do not over-dry your clothes.
Instructions
CAUTION:
Do not overload the dryer: the maximum amount of dry textile material that can
be dried in one load is 8.0 kg (see the table below for some reference
weights). Keep in mind, though, that drying requires space for the clothes to
circulate. So for faster results, we recommend you only add fill the dryer to
half to two-thirds of its capacity.

Overheat protection
The dryer has a safety cut-out switch, which shuts down the power supply to
the unit if the temperature inside the unit is too high. Should you notice
that this has happened, proceed as follows:
- Switch off unplug the dryer and let it cool down for 10 minutes.
- Check and ensure that the filter is clean and that nothing is obstructing the air inlet and ventilation grilles (see “Prevent overheating”, below).
- Plug in the dryer, switch it on, and restart it.
If the dryer still does not work properly, or the problem occurs repeatedly, please contact our after-sales support center or a qualified service technician.
Prevent overheating
- The most common reason for the dryer to overheat is a blocked lint filter. Check the filter and ensure nothing is blocking it – for example, a lightweight item such as a handkerchief might have been sucked over the filter. Clean the filter after each drying load. Cleaning instructions.
- Also, ensure that the air intake filter and any ventilation openings are clean and free of obstructions. Use a cloth, soft brush, or the brush attachment of a vacuum cleaner to clean the openings.
- Other reasons for the dryer to overheat include poor ventilation in the laundry –make sure you have a window or door open when you are using the clothes dryer.
Other Useful Information
Cleaning and maintenance
Keeping your clothes dryer in good, clean condition will prolong its service life.
WARNING!
- Before cleaning or maintaining any part of the dryer, make sure it has cooled down and is unplugged from the power supply.
