For your safety

ALWAYS  

When the dryer is not in use, switch off at the wall, remove plug 

and close the door. 

ALWAYS  

Comply with the specified electrical requirements.

ALWAYS  

Ensure that your dryer is installed correctly and has adequate 

ventilation.  (see, "Where to put and vent your dryer.")

ALWAYS  

Use the vent hose and grille provided with your dryer.

ALWAYS  

Finish every programme with a minimum of 10 minutes of the 

tumble cool or fresh air cycle provided on the control.

ALWAYS  

Clean the filter, it is essential that the filter is kept clear of fluff 

after EACH drying cycle.

ALWAYS  

Observe the rules for drying garments:

In particular woollen articles should not be dried in  a 

tumble dryer unless they are labelled ‘Superwash’, 

‘Machine washable’ or have the ‘May be tumble dried’ 

symbol:

If in any doubt do not dry wool in the machine.

Unlike other materials, the mechanism of wool 

shrinkage is irreversible, i.e. it will not stretch back to 

the original size and shape.

ALWAYS  

When connecting to a permanent vent kit always use the vent outlet 

grille provided with your dryer.

ALWAYS  

Buy genuine accessories and spares.

ALWAYS  

Check that outdoor conditions favour the use of the fresh air cycle.  

ie: you may not wish to use the fresh air cycle if a garden refuse fire 

is burning nearby.

CAUTION: WHEN THE DRYER IS IN USE AVOID TOUCHING
THE REAR OF THE DRYER AS IT MAY BE HOT.
