Press the Intensive button - the LED above is on. To deselect the function press the Intensive button again. The LED above is off. 2. Load your laundry (do not force it in).

an acoustic signal sounds intermittently for about one minute. Changing programme To change a programme which has been selected by mistake once the programme has started, first turn the programme selector to Off and then reset the programme. The drying cycles are automatically followed by an anti-crease phase which lasts around 30 minutes. The drum rotates at intervals during this phase. This keeps the laundry loose and free of creases. The laundry can be removed at any time during the anticrease phase.
Maintenance and cleaning 3. After a period of time, a gleam due to detergent residue on laundry forms on the filters. When this occurs, clean the filters with warm water using a brush. Remove the filter from the door pulling it out. (It can be positioned with the locating spur facing to the left or to the right). After cleaning do not forget to put it back. Cleaning fluff filter The filters collect all the fluff which accumulates during drying.
The condensed water can be used as distilled water, e.g. for steam ironing. However it must first be filtered (e.g. with a coffee filter) to remove any residue and small pieces of fluff. Warning! The condensed water is not suitable for drinking or for preparing foodstuffs. 1. Take out drawer containing water reservoir completely 1 and pull up the water reservoir's drainage pipe as far as it will go 2 .
5. Clean condenser. Use a brush or rinse it thoroughly with a hand-held shower. Hold it vertically over a washing-up bowl. 6. Insert condenser and lock into place (turn both lock washers outwards until they snap into place). 7. Close door in plinth. Cleaning the drum 2. Turn both lock washers inwards. 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.

Installation Appliance positioning Important! • The appliance should not be installed in an environment such as a unheated garage or outbuilding. The combination of high humidity and low ambient temperatures could affect the performance or the appliance and therefore invalidate your guarantee. • 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.
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 6). 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.
3. Connect the Brown (live) wire to the terminal in the plug which is marked with the letter "L" or coloured red. 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! The power supply cable must be accessible after installing the machine.
