IMPORTANT: PLEASE READ THESE

INSTRUCTIONS THOROUGHLY BEFORE USING

THIS APPLIANCE. KEEP THEM IN A SAFE PLACE FOR

FUTURE REFERENCE.

IMPORTANT USER INFORMATION

– This appliance is intended for NORMAL DOMESTIC

USE ONLY.

– Please note it is not recommended that the dryer is placed

directly next to ovens, cookers or other heating appliances

as the performance of the dryer may be affected.

– Any electrical work required to install the appliance

should be carried out by a qualified person.

– The tumble dryer is not to be used if industrial chemicals

have been used for cleaning.

– It is important to clean the lint filter after each drying

cycle and the heat exchanger every month or the

restrictions to airflow will extend drying times and could

cause the safety cut-out to trip.

– DO NOT allow lint to accumulate around the tumble

dryer - risk of fire

– Adequate ventilation has to be provided to avoid the back

flow of gases into the room from appliances burning other

fuels, including open fires.

– DO NOT dry unwashed items in the tumble dryer.

– Items that have been soiled with substances such as

cooking oil, acetone, alcohol, petrol, kerosene, spot

removers, turpentine, waxes and wax removers should be

washed in hot water with an extra amount of detergent

before being dried in the tumble dryer.

– Items such as foam rubber (latex foam), shower caps,

waterproof textiles, rubber-backed articles and clothes or

pillows fitted with foam rubber pads should not be dried in

the tumble dryer.

– Fabric softeners, or similar products, should be used as

specified by the fabric softener instructions.

– The final part of a tumble dryer cycle occurs without heat

(cool down cycle) to ensure that the items are left at a

temperature that ensures that the items will not be

damaged.

– Remove all objects from pockets such as lighters and

matches.

– WARNING: Never stop a tumble dryer before the end of

a drying cycle unless all items are quickly removed and

spread out so that heat is dissipated.

– A carpet must not obstruct the ventilation openings in the

base of the dryer.

– Exhaust air must not be discharged into a flue which is

used for exhausting fumes from appliances burning gas or

other fuels.

Do not stack the tumble dryer on top of other appliances.

electricity supply during long periods of inactivity (i.e.

weekends, holidays etc.)

– The special mains cable and plug assembly must only be

replaced with a genuine part from the manufacturer or our

appointed service agent.

– It is important to clean fluff from the window of the dryer

and around the door seal after each drying cycle. Failure to

do so could result in water leaking.

– DO NOT use a two-way adaptor, or extension lead. The

dryer must be connected to its own socket.

– DO NOT block the air inlets at the front, base or rear of

your dryer.

– DO NOT exceed the recommended maximum load.

– DO NOT place articles in the dryer if anything other than

a water solution has been used in the cleaning process.

– DO NOT attempt to dry dripping wet articles.

– DO NOT use the tumble dryer if you suspect that it is

damaged in any way. Under no circumstances should you

attempt to repair the appliance yourself. Repairs carried

out by inexperienced persons may cause serious injury.

Consult your local appointed service engineer and insist

on genuine spare parts.

– DO NOT tumble dry woollen or wool mixture articles

unless the article is labelled as being suitable .This should

avoid shrinkage.

– Place delicate articles e.g. tights, scarves, inside a

pillowcase.

– To avoid the need to iron easycare polyester/cotton items

it is better to only dry small loads (i.e. half fill drum). It is

better to dry small and large articles together.

– DO NOT overload the dryer or dry large bulky items such

as duvets or sleeping bags as it is important that the

airflow through the dryer is not obstructed.

– To avoid uneven drying, it is recommended to remove

large items (e.g. duvet covers) part way through the drying

cycle and redistribute the load.

– Your appliance is fitted with a sensing system that will

periodically adjust the time remaining displayed

dependant on the moisture remaining in the load. Please

note that the drying time quoted by the appliance at the

start of the drying cycle will default to the time taken to

dry the maximum load weight for that particular

programme.

– Should the final dryness of the load for a particular

programme not be to your satisfaction, please select either

a damper or drier setting.

THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED

This label, positioned on the rear of your dryer, indicates the surface is hot

when in operation – avoid touching

CAUTION

HOT SURFACE

This appliance is marked according to the European Directive 2012/19/EU on Waste Electrical and

Electronic Equipment (WEEE).

At end of life this product should be recycled and not disposed in household waste. Contact your

retailer, council or local authority for further information.

DRAINAGE OPTIONS

Your new appliance as delivered is setup such that the condensed water generated during drying is pumped into the

water bottle. The bottle will then require emptying at the end of every drying cycle.

Alternatively, the appliance can be converted to allow the condensed water to be pumped to your household waste

pipe. Connecting your dryer to a household waste pipe will mean you will not need to empty the water bottle:

1 - Remove the integral drain hose from the connector. 2 - Attach the condensing drain hose.

3 - Put the hose holder onto a wash basin, sink or waste pipe. Please note that 200cm is the maximum length

without the hose holder. If the hose holder is used, the overall length of extension is reduced to 160cm.

4 - To return the dryer to pump the condensed water into the water bottle, simply remove the condensing drain

hose and re-attach the integral drain hose as per points 1 and 2 above.

DRYER INSTALLATION

Position the tumble dryer so that the plug remains accessible after installation. Do not block the vents at the front,

rear or base of the dryer, as this will impair the working of the machine. This appliance must not be installed

behind a lockable door, a sliding door or a door with hinges on the opposite side to that of the tumble dryer.

The tumble dryer requires a minimum width of 600mm in order to be installed. If a waste pipe and trap are behind

the appliance, they must not obstruct the air inlet at the back of the dryer.

If the waste pipe is used by the dryer and a washing machine then its diameter must be large enough to contain

both hoses - 1.5" bore (38mm) minimum.

If the floor is uneven the machine will need to be leveled by adjusting the feet of the machine. These can be twisted

to raise and lower the appliance.

CAUTION: Check that the heat exchanger is installed and the exchanger cover is locked in place.

FILTER INSTALLATION

LOAD PREPARATION

Check care labels inside the garments to ensure that they are suitable for the appliance:

NEVER SWITCH THE DRYER OFF AND LEAVE A HOT LOAD IN THE DRUM DUE TO THE RISK

OF FIRE.

Push the filter into its operating position as shown in the diagram. Ensure

that the arrow on the top of the filter is pointing towards you. Remove any

dust by wiping the drum and door with a damp cloth. Any initial smell of

burning will be caused by dust on the heater and will quickly disappear.

Suitable for tumble drying

Tumble dry using full heat

Tumble dry using half heat

Do not tumble dry

CLEANING THE FILTER

ALWAYS CLEAN THE FILTER AFTER EACH USE. Failure to do so could cause the safety cut-out to

operate.

Spares can be ordered from www.whiteknightrange.co.uk/whiteknight/accessories-WK.html or by calling 01422

203963.

EMPTYING THE WATER BOTTLE

Pull the filter upwards and away from the

appliance.

Open the filter by pulling apart in the centre

and then gently pressing down to release the

catches at the edges. Remove any threads or

fluff by hand or with a soft brush.

Shut the filter and place back inside the

appliance ensuring the arrow is pointing

Wash the filter occasionally in detergent

solution using a soft brush to remove small

particles. Ensure that the filter is fully dry

before next use.

If your filter becomes damaged, replace it to

ensure no damage is caused to the dryer.

– Pull the bottle out from the dryer and empty at the end of the

drying cycle.

– WARNING: Ensure that the bottle is kept level and the rear

supported as it is removed from the dryer in order to prevent

water leaking from the water in-feed hole at the rear of the bottle.

– Replace the bottle ensuring that it is pushed all the way in.

– If the dryer is connected to a drain there is no need to empty the

bottle but it must be correctly fitted to the machine.

– WARNING: Empty the water container after each use. The

drying cycle will pause and the icon will flash if the bottle is

full during the drying process. After the bottle has been emptied,

the dryer can be restarted by pressing the Start/Pause button.

– WARNING: Do not drink the condensed water

– After emptying, re-insert the bottle into the dryer

CLEANING THE HEAT EXCHANGER

IMPORTANT:

- Ensure all lint and fluff is removed from around the seals before closing or water may leak.

- The dryer may leak if the Heat Exchanger is not correctly re-installed and locked in place.

The Heat Exchanger and ducting should be cleaned monthly or more

frequently if the dryer is in constant use.

CAUTION: For maximum efficiency, the plates are made from very thin

aluminum and are easily damaged. At all times, handle the Heat Exchanger

carefully and avoid crushing the plates. Do not try to poke anything between

the plates or use a hard object or tool for cleaning.

REMOVING THE HEAT EXCHANGER

- Open the maintenance cover by pressing down on the two catches

- Twist both locking levers towards each other

- Remove the Heat Exchanger cover

- Pull out the Heat Exchanger

- Clean and drain the Heat Exchanger thoroughly by using a shower

nozzle or similar to remove any lint from inside the plates. Leave to

drain in a vertical orientation.

- Clean the seals

- Carefully push the Heat Exchanger back into the dryer, ensuring the

handle is at the bottom

- Lock the exchanger cover back in place by twisting the locking levers

- Close the maintenance cover until it locks into position

Whilst the Heat Exchanger is removed, clean as much fluff as possible from

inside the ducting by reaching into the dryer. In particular, keep the passage

from the fan clear (on the right hand side of the Heat Exchanger duct).

NOTE: The Heat Exchanger will discolour through use.
