This booklet provides important guidelines for safe use, installation, maintenance and some useful advice for best results when using your machine. [. . . ] The inlet and outlets should be kept free from obstructions. To ensure adequate ventilation the space between the bottom of the machine and the floor must not be obstructed. There should be a gap of at least 12mm between the machine and any obstructions. Prevent items from falling or collecting behind the dryer as these may obstruct the air inlet and outlet. NEVER install the dryer up against curtains. Installation of the Discharge Hose It is essential to use a venting hose to carry the hot moist air away from the dryer unless the dryer is situated in a open space with a good air flow around it. Re-recirculation of the moist air will prevent the efficient operation of the dryer. The hose is assembled to the machine as shown opposite. The hose may be fitted through a wall or through an open door or window. The hose is 110mm in diameter and will extend 1. 8 meters. The following guidelines should be followed when installing the discharge hose. Do not use two hoses joined together as the drying performance will be reduced. For your safety, this dryer must be correctly installed. If there is any doubt about installation, call the national GIAS Service number for advice. 08705 400 600 (Eire 018301 666) 7 40003831. qxd 12/12/2005 18:19 Page 8 Do not restrict the flow of air through the hose e. g. by kinking it or fitting a smaller diameter connector to mount to a wall opening. Avoid the hose making U shaped curves as this will restrict the flow of air and increase the chance that water will collect in the hose. The drier the laundry the shorter the drying time thus saving electricity. ALWAYS Try to dry the maximum weight of laundry, this will save time and electricity. Check that the filter is clean before every drying cycle. NEVER Exceed the maximum weight, this will waste time and electricity. Put dripping wet items into the tumble dryer, this may damage the appliance. During the last 15 minutes the load is always tumbled in cool air. 10 40003831. qxd 12/12/2005 18:19 Page 11 Controls and indicators FILTER CARE INDICATOR ON BUTTON ACRYLIC/SYNTHETIC BUTTON DRYING TIME SELECTOR Control panel and indicator lights `ON' Button and Indicator ­ press to switch on, the indicator will light. `ACRYLIC/SYNTHETIC' Button ­ press to reduce the heat level for delicate items, press again to select high temperature.
