Important  
Unpacking  
The hot air emitted by the tumble dryer can reach  
temperatures of up to 60°C. The appliance must be sited  
in a well ventilated room but not be installed on floors  
which are not resistant to high temperatures.  
Warning !  
Slide out the polythene bag containing the  
polystyrene block before using the appliance. Pull  
off adhesive strips from inside machine on top of  
drum.  
When operating the tumble dryer, the room temperature  
must not be lower than +5°C and no higher than +35°C, as  
it may affect the performance of the appliance.  
Keep all packaging away from children  
Fitting the vent hose  
Depending on the position of the tumble dryer to an  
outside wall there is a choice of 3 vent outlets: One at  
the back, the others on the left or right hand side.  
Connect the hose to whichever is the more convenient  
by pulling the ring nut (A) from the vent outlet at the  
back, screwing it on to the hose and pushing it firmly back  
into place.  
The unused vents should now be sealed with the special  
snap covers provided.  
P1106  
Should the appliance be moved, it must  
be transported vertically.  
A
Positioning  
It is recommended that, for your convenience, the  
machine is positioned close to your washing machine.  
The tumble dryer must be installed in a clean place,  
where dirt does not build up.  
Air must be able to circulate freely all around the  
appliance. It is important to ensure the air intake grills on  
the back of the dryer are not obstructed with any  
materials (e.g. paper, rags etc.). Obstructing the grills  
could be dangerous or at least seriously impair the  
efficiency of the tumble dryer.  
A
P1028  
P1027  
Advice: If the hose is long and the room temperature  
low, the moisture might condense to water inside the  
hose. This is nothing to be concerned about.  
To prevent this water from lying in the hose or flowing  
back into the tumble dryer, it is advisable to drill a small  
hole (dia. 3 mm) in the lowest point of the hose and to  
place a small container below it.(See picture, point B).  
To keep vibration and noise to a minimum when the  
dryer is in use, it should be placed on a firm, level surface.  
Once in its permanent operating position, check that the  
dryer is absolutely level with the aid of a spirit level. If it is  
not, raise or lower the feet until it is.  
B
P1056  
.
P0046  
The feet must never be removed.  
Do not restrict the floor clearance through deep-  
pile carpets, strips of wood or similar. This might  
cause heat build-up which would interfere with  
the operation of the appliance.

Once connected to the dryer, run the vent hose to the  
desired outlet point, ensuring that the run’s overall length  
is less than 2 m, and that it contains no more than two  
bends. As to the outlet itself, if you have decided on a  
fixed wall/window grille, a good local builder’s merchant  
should be able to supply you with the necessary fittings  
and installation advice.  
Stacking kit (optional accessory)  
It should be possible to stack your new dryer on top of a  
front loading washing machine with a cover’s depth  
between 48 and 60 cm.  
Read carefully the instructions supplied with the stacking  
kit.  
Please contact your local John Lewis branch for further  
advice.  
It is important not to connect the  
vent hose to items designed to carry  
exhaust from a fuel burning appliance,  
eg. cooked hoods, chimney or flue  
pipes.  
P1107  
Door reversal  
To make it easier to load or unload the laundry the door  
can be reversed.  
P0055  
This operation must be carried out by qualified  
personnel.  
Please contact the telephone number given under Repairs  
- After Sales Service, page 19.  
Hints and Tips  
Note that to avoid condensation problems, it is essential  
that the dryer be fitted with the flexible hose to carry its  
“exhaust” at least beyond the kitchen units; preferably  
outside the kitchen.  
In order to prevent the appliance from overheating, it is  
important that the steam exhaust is unobstructed.  
Therefore, in case of a permanent hose fitted to an  
exterior wall or ceiling, it must be ensured an exhaust  
3
capacity of at least 150 m /h.  
If the dryer is fitted next to kitchen units, make  
sure that the vent hose is not squashed. If the hose  
is partially squashed, drying efficiency will be  
reduced, resulting in longer drying times and  
higher energy consumption.  
If the hose is completely squashed, the safety cut-  
outs with which the machine is fitted may operate.

Electrical connection  
Any electrical work required to install this appliance  
should be carried out by a qualified electrician or  
competent person.  
4. Upon completion there must be no cut, or stray  
strands of wire present and the cord clamp must be  
secure over the outer sheath.  
WARNING:  
WARNING: THIS APPLIANCE MUST  
BE EARTHED.  
A cut off plug inserted into a 13 amp  
socket is a serious safety (shock)  
hazard.  
Ensure that the cut off plug is disposed of  
safely.  
Should the appliance power supply cable  
need to be replaced, this must be carried  
out by a Service Force agent (see page 19).  
The manufacturer declines any liability  
should this safety measure not be  
observed.  
The plug must still be accessible after the  
appliance has been installed.  
Before switching on, make sure the electricity supply  
voltage is the same as that indicated on the appliance’s  
rating plate. (See picture on page 5).  
The appliance should not be connected  
to the electrical supply by means of an  
extension cable  
The appliance is supplied with a 13amp plug fitted.  
In the event of having to change the fuse in the plug  
supplied, a 13amp ASTA approved BS 1363/A fuse must  
be used.  
Should the plug need to be replaced for any reason, proceed  
as described below. The wires in the mains lead are  
coloured in accordance with the following code:  
Permanent connection  
In the case of permanent connection it is necessary that  
you install a double pole switch between the appliance  
and the electricity supply (mains), with a minimum gap of  
3mm between the switch contacts and of a type suitable  
for the required load in compliance with the current  
electrical regulations.

Hints & Tips on Drying  
• Always load well spun laundry. The higher the spin  
speed the lower the electricity consumption and the  
shorter the drying time.  
Before placing articles of laundry in your tumble  
dryer, check the care labels to ensure they are  
recommended for tumble drying.  
• DO NOT load dripping wet laundry into the dryer. Roll  
the article in a towel or spin to remove excess water.  
Care Labels you may find on your laundry  
• Close poppers and zips and fasten any buttons.  
may be tumble dried  
• Sort the laundry. Separate synthetics from  
cotton/linens, and dry separately.  
normal drying (high temperature)  
delicate drying (low temperature)  
do not tumble dry  
• Remove the laundry immediately after the programme  
has finished.  
• Use a fabric conditioning sheet to reduce static. We  
recommend the sheet is pinned to an article of laundry  
(using a safety pin).  
• Mix the load i.e. large and small articles.  
• When drying large items such as sheets, we  
recommend you periodically stop the dryer to  
redistribute the load.  
Do not overload the appliance.  
DO NOT use the tumble dryer to dry the
