Electrical connection
x
The dryer is designed to operate on a 230 volt, 50
Hz, 15 Amp, AC power supply.
x
The power supply cord has a 15 Amp moulded
plug attached.
x
This plug should be pushed into a 15 Amp earthed
wall socket.
x
Do not attempt to modify the plug.
x
Do not use a double adaptor, multi-plug or
extension cord.
x
Never touch the plug with wet hands nor pull on
the cable to unplug the dryer.
x
If the power supply cord should ever need
replacing, use only a genuine cord available from
the nearest Defy Service Centre. The power
supply cord must only be replaced by an
authorised service agent to avoid an electrical
hazard.

The following items must NOT be placed in the
Dryer as they pose a fire risk:
x
Chemically impregnated fabrics such as mops or
cleaning cloths saturated with wax or inflammable
solvents.
x
Rubber backed articles, rubber boots, and tennis
shoes.
x
Clothes fitted with foam rubber pads.
x
Garments treated with dry-cleaning fluid or a
combustible solution.
x
Durable pleated items other than permanent
press.
x
Fibre-glass or leather items.
x
Cushions, quilts and similar stuffed items as these
accumulate heat.
x
Gas lighters that have accidentally been left in
pockets.
Loading
x
Do not overload the machine. We recommend
loading the drum to the halfway mark.
x
Do not place dripping wet articles in the dryer. As
much water as possible should be extracted
before placing them in the drum.
x
Clothes should not be loaded in a tangled
condition as this will prolong the drying time.
x
Mix small and large articles for faster drying time.
Shake out each article for more even drying.
x
It is recommended that synthetic whites and
coloured articles are not mixed until their colour
fastness has been established.
x
Add a few hand towels to act as buffers when
drying a very small load.
x
Large items tend to retain a certain position in the
drum. To ensure thorough drying it may be
necessary to remove these articles midway during
the drying cycle and reposition them before
continuing.
x
Bulky duvets and eiderdowns may not be suitable
even if the dry weight of the item is within the
prescribed limits. Their size may prevent them
from tumbling.
Blankets
x
Extract most of the water from the blanket before
drying.
x
Place 2 to 3 towels in the Dryer and allow the Dryer
to pre-heat for 10 minutes on a HOT setting.
x
Switch to the WARM setting before placing the
blanket in the Dryer.
x
Remove the blanket while it is still slightly damp.
x
Reshape and hang out to dry.
x
When dry, brush to raise the nap and press the
binding with a warm iron.
Cotton T-shirts and Knit underwear
x
Dry only to a slightly damp stage. If these articles
are allowed to tumble too long, the knitted cotton
may shrink. This may be corrected by re-
dampening or by wearing the article.

responsibility for any damage due to
incorrect electrical connection.
Warning:
The manufacturer and seller

Ensuring the correct
installation is the customer’s
responsibility.

check if the machine has any defects on
it. If so, do not have it installed. A
damaged machine is a safety risk.
Floor Standing
x
Remove all packaging.
x
The tumble dryer should be placed in a well
ventilated area. If the Dryer is operated in a
confined space, moisture extracted from the
clothing during the drying process will condense
on the walls.
x
The rear of the Dryer must be free of any
restrictions, especially round the fresh air grille. Do
not position the Dryer near any long curtains or
drapes as these could be drawn against the air
intake grille. This would result in a much longer
drying time.
x
Allow a 100 mm. Air-gap at the rear of the Dryer
for ventilation purposes.
