B. Heat setting - select gentle or intensive heat control panel Care labels you may find on your fabrics ‘Suitable for tumble drying’ ‘Do not tumble dry’ ‘Dry flat’ C. Start - press the start button after selecting the required drying time. •Sort out the clothes into groups of similar fabrics and colours. Check the care label inside the garment. We suggest that fabric conditioner be used to reduce static electricity. Delicate articles e.g. tights should be placed inside a pillowcase. It is better to dry small and large articles together. •Open the door. •Load clothes loosely into the drum. •Load sheets first starting with one corner. •Close the door. •Dry your hands. •Check the timer is in the’0’ position. •Switch on the machine. •Select correct heat position (See programme around the timer on fascia panel). •Set the timer to the correct position (See programme around the timer on fascia panel). •Press the start button. •The drum will now begin to rotate and will stop automatically when the timer reaches the ‘0’ position. •Once the clothes are removed, clean the filter •Switch off the electricity supply. Should the clothes become dry before the cycle has finished the thermostat will automatically switch off the heater and prevent over drying and save energy although the drum will still rotate. When drying large items such as sheets, we suggest you stop the dryer to redistribute the load. To stop the machine during the middle of a programme, open the door: the drum will stop rotating automatically and reset when you close the door. To lengthen or shorten the programme, turn the timer knob. The final part of the drying cycle occurs without heat (cool down cycle) to ensure that the items will not be damaged. fig. 1 as recommended on the This appliance has a resetable cut-out. Check this has not operated. Press the red button on the right hand side at the back of your dryer. If the cut-out has operated the sharp “click” will be heard. This cut-out only operates if the airflow is fig. 2 This appliance has a resetable cut-out. Check this has not operated. Press the red button on the right hand side at the back of your dryer. If the cut-out has operated the sharp “click” will be heard. This cut-out only operates if the airflow is fig. 2 Care And Maintenance Cleaning The Filter The filter is found, by opening the door (fig.2.) and must always be in position when drying items in the appliance. To allow the dryer to operate efficiently the filter should be cleaned after each drying cycle. Do not be alarmed by the amount of lint deposited on the mesh. It is not due to excessive wear caused by the dryer but more an indication of its efficient operation. All fabric loses lint when drying but it goes unnoticed into the air. In a tumble dryer it simply collects in the filter. After removing the dried clothes clean the filter as follows: • Pull the filter upwards. • Remove any threat of lint by hand or with a soft brush. • Slide the filter back. • Wash the filter occasionally in detergent solution and with a soft brush remove small particles. Troubleshooting If the clothes are not dry after normal drying time: - Check that the filter is clean. - Check that you used the correct heat setting. - Check that the vent hose is not blocked (sometimes a strong wind may cause a back pressure). - Check that you have not set the timer within a cool down period. If your appliance does not work, check the following points before contacting CDA Customer Care • Check that there is power to the appliance. • Check that the machine is switched on and the door properly closed. • severely restricted so make sure the filter is clean and that all other restrictions are removed before restarting. • Check the fuse in the moulded plug. Installation Do not block the vent at the front or base of the dryer as this will impair the functioning of the appliance and could cause it to overheat. This appliance must not be installed behind a lockable door, a sliding door or a door with hinges on the opposite side to that of the tumble dryer. Tumble dryer venting Your tumble dryer will release warm, damp air in one of three ways. 1) Extendable rear venting - a long flexible vent hose is built into the dryer and can be extended from the large opening at the rear of the machine 2) Fixed rear venting - venting is through the large opening at the bottom of the rear panel. A separate extendable vent hose can be attached if desired. 3) Front venting - this is a special type of dryer which vents through a grille on the plinth. The opening on the rear panel is blanked off during manufacturing. Rear vented dryers can be used without a vent hose but not in a confined space. Rear vented machines must have a vent hose if they are installed under a work surface. To minimise condensation it is preferable to vent through a vent to outside. This may be through an open door or window. The best solution is to connect the vent hose to a permanent connection through a wall or a ...
