should be directed  
downwards, to prevent  
warm moist air from  
condensing in the room  
or in the dryer.  
! The plug must not be used  
without the fuse cover in place.  
If a replacement fuse holder/cover  
is required, it must be of the  
same colour coding or wording  
as shown on the base of the plug.  
Replacements are available  
from authorised dealers.  
Changing the plug  
! Ensure that the dryer is adequately ventilated and  
that the end of the vent tube is not directed towards  
the air intake duct.  
! The vent tube must always be fitted for optimum  
performance.  
The wires in the power cord are coloured in accordance  
with the following:

! Make sure that the vent tube and air intake vents  
are not obstructed or blocked.  
If a replacement plug is to be fitted, the appropriate  
wire must be connected to the correct terminal, as  
follows:  
! The dryer must not recycle exhaust air.  
! Misusing a tumble dryer may create a fire hazard.  
! Do not discharge exhaust air into a flue which is  
used for exhaust fumes from other appliances that  
burn gas or other fuels.

Special clothing items  
Times are approximate and can vary depending  
upon:  
GB  
Blankets and Bedspreads: acrylic items (Acilan,  
Courtelle, Orion, Dralon) must be dried with special  
care on LOW heat setting. Avoid drying for a long  
period of time.  
G
Amount of water retained in clothes after spin  
cycle: towels and delicates retain a lot of water.  
G
Fabrics: items that are the same type of fabric but  
Pleated or creased garments: read the manufacturer’s  
drying instructions on the garment.  
different textures and thicknesses may not have  
the same drying time.  
G
Starched articles: do not dry these with non-  
starched items. Make sure that as much of the starch  
solution is removed from the load as possible before  
placing it in the dryer. Do not over-dry: the starch will  
become powdery and leave your clothing limp, which  
defeats the purpose of starch.  
Quantity of laundry: single items or small loads  
may take longer to dry.  
G
Dryness: If you are going to iron some of your  
clothes, they can be taken out while still a bit  
damp. Others can be left longer if you need them  
to be completely dry.

Maintenance and Care  
Switching off the electricity  
Cleaning  
GB  
G
Unplug your dryer when not using it, when cleaning it  
and during all maintenance operations.  
External parts in metal or plastic and rubber parts  
can be cleaned with a damp cloth.  
G
Periodically check the vent tube and any  
permanent venting fixture to make sure that there  
has been no accumulation of fluff or lint, and  
remove it.  
Clean the filter after each cycle  
The filter is an important part of your dryer:  
G
it accumulates lint and fluff that is formed while drying.  
Small items could also become trapped in the filter.  
When finished drying, therefore, clean the filter by  
rinsing it under running water or with your vacuum  
cleaner. Should the filter become clogged up, the  
airflow inside the dryer will be seriously compromised:  
drying times lengthen and you will consume more  
energy. It may also damage your dryer.  
Remove lint that collects around the filter and the  
outlet vents.  
! Do not use solvents or abrasives.  
! Your dryer uses special bearing components which  
do not need lubrication.  
! Have your dryer checked regularly by authorised  
technicians to ensure electrical and mechanical safety  
(see Service).  
The filter is found in front  
of the dryer trim  
(see diagram).  
Removing the filter:  
1. Pull the plastic grip of  
the filter upwards (see  
diagram).  
2. Clean the filter and  
replace it correctly.  
Ensure the filter is fully  
located flush into the  
tumble dryer trim.  
! Do not use the dryer without replacing the filter.  
Check the drum after each cycle  
Turn the drum manually in order to remove small  
items (handkerchiefs) that could have been left  
behind.
