IMPORTANT INFORMATION: A 10 minute ‘Cool Tumble’ phase at the end of
each drying cycle allows fabrics to gently cool down, minimising creasing.

All fabrics contain a little natural moisture even when ‘dry’, this should not
be lost if the clothes are to remain soft and fluffy. If clothes are subjected
to extreme drying they tend to wrinkle and consequently need more
ironing than usual. As clothes feel damper when warm, allow for this
when removing items before the ‘Cool Tumble’ phase is complete.

This machine incorporates a ‘Dry Spin’ feature, see Automatic Features.

Switch on both the
water and electricity
supply at the mains.

Turn the drying dial to
select a suitable drying
time, see chart above.

Remove the wet

laundry and 

dosing ball (if

used) until the

correct ‘Drying

Weight Load’ is

left in the drum.

Close door by 
applying pressure at
the 2 o’clock position.

Press ‘ON’ to start the
drying programme.
After a few seconds
the door will lock and
an indicator light will
illuminate throughout
the programme.

1-2 minutes after 
completion of the
wash programme
the door locked 
indicator light will
go out and the door
can be opened.
Switch ‘OFF’ after
use.

If your appliance is not permanently 
plumbed in, turn on the cold water supply
to the appliance and hook the drain hose 
over the sink to enable to condensing 
action to work.

The dryer is intended 
for use only where 
water is used for the 
cleaning process.

Be careful not to 
touch the drum at 
the top as this area 
gets hot during 
drying.

On no account 
should liquid fabric
conditioner be 
added during the 
drying process.

Misuse of the 
dryer may create 
a fire hazard.
