VENTILATION
Installation of the Discharge Hose
It is essential to use a venting hose to carry the hot moist air away from the dryer unless the dryer is situated in a open space with a good air flowaround it. Recirculation of the moist air will prevent the efficient operation of the dryer.
The hose is assembled to the machine as shown. The hose may be fitted through a wall or through an open door or window. The hose is 110mm in diameter and will extend 1.8 meters.
The following guidelines should be followed when installing the discharge hose.
- Do not use two hoses joined together as the drying performance will be reduced.
- Do not restrict the flow of air through the hose e.g. by kinking it or fitting a smaller diameter connector to mount to a wall opening.
- Avoid the hose making U shaped curves as this will restrict the flow of air and increase the chance that water will collect in the hose.
- Check the hose regularly to remove any build-up of fluff or water that may have collected in it.
The following diagrams give examples of good and bad installations.
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.
PREPARING THE LOAD

- 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.
IMPORTANT: Do not dry articles which have been treated with a dry cleaning fluid or rubber clothes (danger of fire or explosion).
During the last 15 minutes the load is always tumbled in cool air.
Energy Saving
Only put into the tumble dryer laundry which has been thoroughly wrung or spin-dried. The drier the laundry the shorter the drying time thus saving electricity.
ALWAYS
- Check that the filter is clean before every drying cycle.
NEVER
- Put dripping wet items into the tumble dryer, this may damage the appliance.
Sort the Load as Follows
- By care symbols
These can be found on the collar or inside seam:
Suitable for tumble drying.
Tumble drying at high temperature.
Tumble drying at low temperature only.
Do not tumble dry.
If the item does not have a care label it must be assumed that it is not suitable for tumble drying.
- By amount and thickness
Whenever the load is bigger than the dryer capacity, separate clothes according to thickness (e.g. towels from thin underwear). - By type of fabric
Cottons/linen: Towels, cotton jersey, bed and table linen.
Synthetics: Blouses, shirts, overalls, etc. made of polyester or polyamid, as well as for cotton/synthetic mixes.
Do not overload the drum, large items when wet exceed the maximum admissible clothes load (for example: sleeping bags, duvets).
