USER MANUAL Freestanding Heat Pump Tumble Dryer

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 Tumble Dry:

Silk, nylon stockings, delicate embroidery, fabrics with metallic decorations, garments with PVC or leather trimmings.

WATER CONTAINER

The water removed from the laundry during the drying cycle is collected in a container inside the door of the dryer. When the container is full the indicator on the control panel will light, and the container MUST be emptied. However, we recommend that the container is emptied after each drying cycle.

NOTE: Very little water will collect during the first few cycles of a new machine as an internal reservoir is filled first.

To Remove the Container

1. Gently pull out the water container holding the handle. (A) When it is full the water container will weigh about 6 kg.

2. Tilt the water container to empty the water out through the spout. (B)

When empty, replace the water container back as shown; (C) first insert the base of the container into position as shown (1) then gentle push the top into position (2)

3. Press Button to restart the cycle.

NOTE: If you have the option of drainage near to the dryer you can use the discharge kit to provide a permanent drainage for the water collected in the container of the dryer. This means that you don't have to empty the water container.

OPERATION

1. Open the door and load the drum with laundry. Ensure that garments do not hinder closure of the door.

2. Gently close the door pushing it slowly until you hear the door 'click' shut.

3. Turn the Programme Selector dial to select the required drying programme (see Programme Guide).

4. Press the button. The dryer will start automatically and the indicator above the button will be continuously lit.

5. If the door is opened during the programme to check the laundry, it is necessary to press to recommence drying after the door has been closed.

6. When the cycle is nearing completion the machine will enter the cool down phase, the clothes will be tumbled in cool air allowing the load to cool down.

7. Following the completion of the cycle the drum will rotate intermittently to minimize creasing. This will continue until the machine is switched OFF or the door is opened.

CLEANING AND ROUTINE MAINTENANCE
