CAUTION!  
Never operate the dryer without fluff filters or with damaged or blocked fluff filters.  
1. Open loading door  
2. Use a damp hand to clean the micro-  
fine filter, which is built into the lower  
part of the loading aperture.  
3. After a period of time, a patina due to  
detergent residue on laundry forms on  
the filters. When this occurs, clean the  
filters with warm water using a brush.

The condensate can be used as distilled water, e.g. for steam ironing. However first filter  
the condensate (e.g. with a coffee filter) to remove any residue and small pieces of fluff.  
Cleaning heat exchanger  
If the warning led is lighting, the heat exchanger needs to be cleaned.  
CAUTION!  
Operating when the heat exchanger is blocked with fluff can damage the dryer. This also  
increases energy consumption.

5. Use the handle to pull the heat exchanger  
out of the base and carry it horizontally  
to prevent any remaining water from  
spilling.  
6. To empty the heat exchanger, hold verti-  
cally over a washing-up bowl.  
CAUTION!  
Do not use sharp objects to clean. The heat  
exchanger could develop leaks.  
7. Clean heat exchanger.  
It is best to use a brush or to rinse thoroughly with a hand-held shower.  
8. Replace heat exchanger and lock into place (turn both lock washers outwards until they  
snap into place).  
9. Close door in plinth.  
CAUTION!  
Never operate the dryer without the heat exchanger.  
Cleaning the drum  
CAUTION!  
Do not use abrasives or steel wool to clean the drum.  
Lime in the water or cleaning agents may form a barely visible lining on the inside of the  
drum. The degree to which the laundry has been dried is then no longer detected reliably.  
The laundry is damper than expected when removed from the dryer.  
Use a standard domestic cleaner (e.g. vinegar-based cleaner) to wipe down the inside of  
the drum and drum ribs.  
Clean operating screen and housing  
CAUTION!  
Do not use furniture cleaners or aggressive cleaning agents to clean the machine.  
Use a damp cloth to wipe down the operating screen and housing.

24 Installation  
All the cycles have to be checked in accordance with EN 61121 (Tumble dryers for household  
use – Methods for measuring the performance).  
Installation  
Appliance 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 round the appliance. Do not obstruct the front  
ventilation grille or the air intake grilles at the back of the machine.  
• 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.  
• The feet must never be removed. Do not restrict the floor clearance through deeppile  
carpets, strips of wood or similar. This might cause heat built-up which would interfere  
with the operation of the appliance.  
The hot air emitted by the tumble dryer can reach temperatures of up to 60°C. The appliance  
must therefore not be installed on floors which are not resistant to high temperatures.  
When operating the tumble dryer, the room temperature must not be lower than +5°C and  
higher than +35°C, as it may affect the performance of the appliance.  
WARNING!  
Should the appliance be moved, it must be transported vertically.  
WARNING!  
The appliance must not be installed behind the lockable door, a sliding door or a door with  
a hinge on the opposite side to that of the appliance.  
Removing transport safety packaging  
CAUTION!  
Before use all parts of the transport packaging  
must be removed.  
1. Open loading door  
2. Pull off adhesive strips from inside machine  
on top of drum.  
 
Installation 25  
3. Remove foil hose and polystyrene pad-  
ding from the machine.  
Electrical connection  
Details on mains voltage, type of current and the fuses required should be taken from the  
rating plate. The rating plate is fitted near the loading aperture (see “Product description”  
chapter).  
Connect the machine to an earthed socket, in accordance with current wiring regulations.  
WARNING!  
The manufacturer declines any responsibility for damage or injury through failure  
to comply with the above safety precautions.  
Should the appliance power supply cable need to be replaced, this must be carried  
out by our Service Centre.  
The appliance is supplied with a 13 amp plug fitted. In the event of having to change the  
fuse in the plug supplied, a 13 amp ASTA approved BS 1363/A fuse must be used.  
The wires in the mains lead are coloured in ac-  
4
cordance with the following code:  
1 Blue - Neutral  
2 cord clamp  
3 Brown - Live  
4 Green and Yellow - Earth  
The wire coloured green and yellow must be con-  
nected to the terminal marked with the letter «E»  
3
or by the earth symbol  
or coloured green and  
yellow.  
1
The wire coloured blue must be connected to the  
terminal «N» or coloured black.  
2
The wire coloured brown must be connected to  
the terminal marked «L» or coloured red.  
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!  
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.  
WARNING!  
The power supply cable must be accessible after installing the machine.  
 
26 Environment  
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 3 mm  
between the switch contacts and of a type suitable for the required load in compliance  
with the current electrical regulations.  
The switch must not break the yellow and green earth cable at any point.  
Door reversal  
To make is easier to load or unload the laundry, the door can be reversed. This operation  
must only be carried out by a qualified engineer. Please contact your local service centre.  
The engineer will carry out the door reversal at your cost.

Environmental tips  
• In the dryer, laundry becomes fluffy and soft. Fabric softeners are not therefore needed  
when washing.  
• Your dryer will function most economically if you:  
– always keep the ventilation slots on the base of the dryer unobstructed;  
– use the loading volumes specified in the programme overview;  
– ensure you have good ventilation in the installation room;  
– clean the micro-fine filter and fine strainer after each drying cycle;  
– spin the laundry well before drying. Example: Consumption data – depending on  
spinning speed – for 7 kg of laundry, dried using the COTTONS STORAGE DRY pro-  
gramme.
