PROGRAMME TABLE
This program chart is designed to help you dry your
laundry correctly. The program/timer knob has two
different sections, each with its own drying
temperature and time scale:
7
• is used to represent cotton. Here you can
set the dryer for up to 120 minutes, because
cotton and thick non-synthetic fabrics need
longer to dry.
• is used to represent synthetic fabrics and
delicate items. Because these are more
sensitive than cotton, they need a lower drying
temperature. Here you can set the dryer for up
to 80 minutes.
Do not overdry your laundry. It can
make it difficult to iron, and harsher to
the touch, besides wasting energy.
During the last 8-12 minutes of each
programme, the load is cooled to
reduce the risk of creasing.

HINTS AND TIPS
PREPARING THE LAUNDRY
• Close the zippers.
• Close the fasteners of the duvet covers.
• Do not keep ties or ribbons loose (e.g. apron
ribbons). Tie them before you start a
programme.
• Remove all items from the pockets.
• If an item has the internal layer made of cotton,
turn it inside out. Make sure that the cotton layer
is always external
• We recommend that you set the correct
programme applicable for the type of fabrics
that are in the appliance.
• Do not put fabrics with strong colours together
with fabrics with light colours. Strong colours
can bleed.
• Use an applicable programme for cotton jersey
and knitwear to prevent the items to shrink.
• Make sure that the laundry weight is not more
than the maximum weight that is in the
programme table.

CARE AND CLEANING
CLEANING THE FILTER
For your tumble dryer to function correctly, the
filters need to be cleaned before or after every load
dried.
WARNING! Never start the dryer
unless the fluff filter is clean and
correctly in place, or if the fluff filter is
damaged (this could cause
overheating).

To clean them:
1 2 3
Open the door.1
Open the coarse filter upwards2
Brush the fluff off the fluff filter, which is under the coarse filter. Sometimes you may need to remove
the fluff filter to clean it on both sides. Make sure that you put the fluff filter back correctly after
cleaning, before closing the coarse filter.
3
DRAINING THE WATER CONTAINER
If you have connected the tumble dryer
directly to a waste pipe with the
accessory hose, you can ignore this
section.
A warning light on the control panel will come on
when it is time to empty the water tank. If it is
operating when this happens, the dryer will stop
automatically until the tank is emptied.
It is a good idea to get into the habit of emptying
the tank either before or after each load.
To empty the tank:

Open the door.1
Pull out the tank.2
Open the tank lid and pour the water out.3
Close the lid and push the tank back into place. Press it home until you can feel that it is properly in
place.

CLEANING THE CONDENSER
As in all types of tumble dryer, the air circulated
through the dryer picks up fluff. As a result, some
fluff will accumulate in the condenser, so it needs to
be cleaned occasionally.
10
To clean the condenser:
1 2 3 4
6 7 8
Open the door.1
Open the coarse filter upwards. Remove the fluff filter and close the coarse filter again.2

The condenser will come free, allowing you to lift it outwards/upwards. Be careful not to damage the
sensitive aluminium section
4
Turn it upside down and clean it on both sides, using a vacuum cleaner.5
Remove the red drain plug on the lower edge of the condenser.6
Lay the condenser flat and fill it with water through the filter opening. Now leave the condenser to soak
in water for about 5 minutes, then shower both sides with hot water.
7
Dry the condenser carefully afterwards. Don’t forget to put back the red drain plug.8
Put the condenser back in the dryer. Make sure that its base is lined up in the slots in the condenser
cavity inside the dryer door.
9
Press the condenser carefully into place until you feel and hear a gentle “snap”. Put back the fluff filter
and close the coarse filter.

INSTALLATION
POSITIONING
You can install this dryer in a number of different
ways. We will show you the most suitable of these.
Whichever way you install it, here are some points
to bear in mind:
• Always ensure that the dryer is level for optimum
functioning.
• The temperature in the room should not exceed
+35° C when the dryer is operating. If it does,
open a door or window while the dryer is on.
The dryer uses the air in the room for cooling.
• The area around the dryer should be as dust-
free as possible.
• If you install the dryer with its door hinge side
towards a wall, or next to a cupboard or wall unit
which is more than 370 mm deep, you will need
to leave a space on the hinge side at least 30
mm wide. This is to allow the door to open wide
enough for removing the water tank.
• Ensure the air ducts are not obstructed.
• The dryer must not be installed above a bath or
in a shower area.
CAUTION! The adjustable feet must
not be removed, they ensure that there
is adequate ventilation underneath the
dryer.
WALL MOUNTING
Different wall materials require different types of
mounting hardware. Purchase mounting hardware
suited to the walls in your home. Use a minimum of
3 suitable fasteners to attach your mounting
console to the wall.
Before deciding on the wall mounting site, it is
important to check that the electrical lead will reach
the wall socket once the dryer is in place.
If you are installing the dryer between wall-mounted
cupboards, you should use the wall mounting
console. If the adjacent cupboards are more than
370 mm deep, don’t forget to leave a space at least
30 mm wide on the left of the dryer so that the door
can open wide enough.
There should be a clear space at least 200 mm
high between the top of the dryer and the ceiling or
any cupboard above the dryer, to ensure adequate
ventilation at the top.
CAUTION! All electrical work
performed on the dryer should be
done by a qualified electrician or
competent person.
