Sorting laundry
• Check the symbols on the care labels of the various
garments to verify whether the garments can be safely
tumble dried.
• Sort laundry according to the type of fabric.
• Empty all pockets and check for loose buttons.
• Close zips and hooks and fasten belts and strings without
tightening them.
• Wring out garments to remove the maximum amount of
water possible.
!
Do not load the dryer when garments are dripping wet.
Maximum load sizes
Do not overload the drum.
The following values indicate the weight of dry garments:
Natural fibres: maximum kg
Synthetic fibres: maximum kg
! Do not overload the dryer as this may result is reduced
drying performance.
Care labels
Always check the care labels, especially when placing
garments in the tumble dryer for the first time. Below are the
most commonly used symbols:
May be tumble dried.
Do not tumble dry.
Tumble dry – high heat.
Tumble dry – low heat.
Drying times
Drying times are approximate and may vary depending on
the following:
• Amount of water retained by items after the spin cycle:
towels and delicate items retain a lot of water.
• Fabrics: items of the same fabric, but with different texture
and thickness may have different drying times.
• Amount of laundry: single items and small loads may take
longer to dry.
• Drying: if items are to be ironed, they can be removed
from the dryer while still slightly damp. Items that require
complete drying can be left longer.
• Heat setting.
• Temperature of the room: the lower the temperature of the
room, the longer it will take for the dryer to dry clothing.
• Bulk: certain bulky items require special care during the
drying process. We suggest removing these items and
replacing them in the dryer once they have been shaken
out: repeat this procedure several times during the course
of the drying cycle.
! Do not over-dry items.
All fabrics contain natural dampness which helps to keep
them soft and fluffy.

Troubleshooting
Possible causes / Solution:
• The plug is not plugged into the socket, or not making contact.
• There has been a power failure.
• The fuse has blown. Try to plug another appliance into the socket.
• You are using an extension cord? Try to plug the dryer’s power cord directly into the
socket.
• The door is not closed securely?
• The programme has not been set properly (see Start and Programmes).
• The Start/Pause button has not been pressed (see Start and Programmes).
• You have set a delayed time (see Start and Programmes).
• The filter has not been cleaned (see Maintenance).
• The water container needs emptying... The ‘water container full’ icon
is flashing, the display shows “H20” and the ‘empty water’ icon
is on
(see Maintenance).
• The condenser needs cleaning? (see Maintenance).
• The temperature setting is not ideal for the type of fabric you are drying (see Start
and Programmes, and see Laundry).
• The correct drying time has not been selected for the load (see Laundry).
• The air intake grille is obstructed (see Installation, and see Maintenance).
• The items were too wet (see Laundry).
• The dryer was overloaded (see Laundry).
•
The water container was probably not emptied at the start of the programme. Do not
wait for the empty water signal, always check and empty the container before starting
a new drying programme (see Maintenance).
• This is normal. If the icon is on it is just a reminder to empty the container (see Start
and Programmes).
! For safety the dryer has a maximum programme time of 5 hours. If an automatic
programme has not sensed the required final moisture in this time the dryer will
complete the programme and stop. Check the above points and run the programme
again, if the results are still damp, contact the Service Centre (see Service).
• If the display shows a fault:
- Turn off and remove the plug. Clean the filter and the condenser (see
maintenance). Then replace the plug, turn on and start another programme. If a fault
is then displayed: Note down the code and contact the Service Centre (see Service).
Problem:
The tumble dryer won’t start.
Drying cycle will not begin.
Its taking a long time to dry.
The ‘water container full’icon
is fl ashing and “H20” displayed
but the dryer has only been running
for a short period.
Empty water icon
is on and
the water container is not full.
Programme fi nishes and clothes are
damper than expected.
The display shows a fault code F
followed by one or two numbers.
