INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE 8kg CONDENSER TUMBLE DRYER B96M8WR IMPORTANT: PLEASE READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS THOROUGHLY BEFORE USING THIS APPLIANCE. KEEP THEM IN A SAFE PLACE FOR FUTURE REFERENCE. IMPORTANT USER INFORMATION This appliance is intended for NORMAL DOMESTIC USE ONLY. Please note it is not recommended that the dryer is placed directly next to ovens, cookers or other heating appliances as the performance of the dryer may be affected. Any electrical work required to install the appliance should be carried out by a qualified person. The tumble dryer is not to be used if industrial chemicals have been used for cleaning. It is important to clean the lint filter after each drying cycle and the heat exchanger every month or the restrictions to airflow will extend drying times and could cause the safety cut-out to trip. DO NOT allow lint to accumulate around the tumble dryer - risk of fire
Adequate ventilation has to be provided to avoid the back flow of gases into the room from appliances burning other fuels, including open fires. DO NOT dry unwashed items in the tumble dryer. Items that have been soiled with substances such as cooking oil, acetone, alcohol, petrol, kerosene, spot removers, turpentine, waxes and wax removers should be washed in hot water with an extra amount of detergent before being dried in the tumble dryer. Items such as foam rubber (latex foam), shower caps, waterproof textiles, rubber-backed articles and clothes or pillows fitted with foam rubber pads should not be dried in the tumble dryer. Fabric softeners, or similar products, should be used as specified by the fabric softener instructions. The final part of a tumble dryer cycle occurs without heat (cool down cycle) to ensure that the items are left at a temperature that ensures that the items will not be damaged. Remove all objects from pockets such as lighters and matches. WARNING: If you need to stop the tumble dryer before the end of a drying cycle, ensure that the load and appliance are cooled by utilizing the cooldown period denoted on the control panel. Once the load is remove, all items need to be quickly spread out so that any residual heat is dissipated. A carpet must not obstruct the ventilation openings in the base of the dryer.
Exhaust air must not be discharged into a flue which is used for exhausting fumes from appliances burning gas or other fuels. The appliance must not be installed behind a lockable door, a sliding door or a door with a hinge on the opposite side to that of the tumble dryer, in such a way that a full opening of the tumble dryer door is restricted. Do not stack the tumble dryer on top of other appliances. This appliance can be used by children aged from 8 years and above and persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities or lack of experience and knowledge if they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance in a safe way and understand the hazards involved. Children shall not play with the appliance. Cleaning and user maintenance shall not be made by children without supervision. Children of less than 3 years should be kept away from the appliance unless continuously supervised. The rear of the dryer gets quite hot during use. Position the dryer so that the back is not accessible while in operation, but ensure that the sides have a space available to allow airflow. Under no circumstances should anything other than the recommended articles be placed in the tumble dryer. The tumble dryer should be serviced by an appointed service organisation and only genuine parts used. It is dangerous to alter or modify the product in any way other than fitting authorized accessories.
We recommend that the appliance is unplugged each time after use. It should always be disconnected from the electricity supply during long periods of inactivity (i.e. weekends, holidays etc.) The special mains cable and plug assembly must only be replaced with a genuine part from the manufacturer or our appointed service agent. It is important to clean fluff from the window of the dryer and around the door seal after each drying cycle. Failure to do so could result in water leaking. DO NOT use a two-way adaptor, or extension lead. The dryer must be connected to its own socket. DO NOT block the air inlets at the front, base or rear of your dryer. DO NOT exceed the recommended maximum load. DO NOT place articles in the dryer if anything other than a water solution has been used in the cleaning process. DO NOT attempt to dry dripping wet articles. DO NOT use the tumble dryer if you suspect that it is damaged in any way. Under no circumstances should you attempt to repair the appliance yourself. Repairs carried out by inexperienced persons may cause serious injury. Consult your local appointed service engineer and insist on genuine spare parts. DO NOT tumble dry woollen or wool mixture articles unless the article is labelled as being suitable. This should avoid shrinkage. Place delicate articles e.g. tights, scarves, inside a pillowcase.
To avoid the need to iron easycare polyester/cotton items it is better to only dry small loads (i.e. half fill drum). It is better to dry small and large articles together. DO NOT overload the dryer or dry large bulky items such as duvets or sleeping bags as it is important that the airflow through the dryer is not obstructed. Your appliance is fitted with a sensing system that will periodically adjust the time remaining displayed dependant on the moisture remaining in the load. Please note that the drying time quoted by the appliance at the start of the drying cycle will default to the time taken to dry the maximum load weight for that particular programme. Should the final dryness of the load for a particular programme not be to your satisfaction, please select either a damper or drier setting. THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED CAUTION HOT SURFACE This label, positioned on the rear of your dryer, indicates the surface is hot when in operation avoid touching This appliance is marked according to the European Directive 2012/19/EU on Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE). At end of life this product should be recycled and not disposed in household waste. Contact your retailer, council or local authority for further information.
DRAINAGE OPTIONS Your new appliance as delivered is setup such that the condensed water generated during drying is pumped into the water bottle. The bottle will then require emptying at the end of every drying cycle. Alternatively, the appliance can be converted to allow the condensed water to be pumped to your household waste pipe. Connecting your dryer to a household waste pipe will mean you will not need to empty the water bottle: 1 - Remove the integral drain hose from the connector. 2 - Attach the condensing drain hose. 3 - Put the hose holder onto a wash basin, sink or waste pipe. Please note that 200cm is the maximum length without the hose holder. If the hose holder is used, the overall length of extension is reduced to 160cm. 4 - To return the dryer to pump the condensed water into the water bottle, simply remove the condensing drain hose and re-attach the integral drain hose as per points 1 and 2 above.
DRYER INSTALLATION Position the tumble dryer so that the plug remains accessible after installation. Do not block the vents at the front, rear or base of the dryer, as this will impair the working of the machine. 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. The tumble dryer requires a minimum width of 600mm in order to be installed. If a waste pipe and trap are behind the appliance, they must not obstruct the air ducts at the back of the dryer. If the waste pipe is used by the dryer and a washing machine then its diameter must be large enough to contain both hoses - 1.5" bore (38mm) minimum. NOTE: The 4 feet must be unscrewed so that there is a minimum distance of 1cm between the plastic base of the dryer and the floor; so that air can circulate under the dryer. Insert a small flat screwdriver into the hole in each foot and rotate the foot anticlockwise. Ensure the dryer is level with a minimum of 1cm clearance underneath. CAUTION: Check that the heat exchanger is installed and the exchanger cover is locked in place. FILTER INSTALLATION Push the filter into its operating position as shown in the diagram. Ensure that the arrow on the top of the filter is pointing towards you. Remove any dust by wiping the drum and door with a damp cloth. Any initial smell of burning will be caused by dust on the heater and will quickly disappear. LOAD PREPARATION Check care labels inside the garments to ensure that they are suitable for the appliance: Suitable for tumble drying Tumble dry using full heat Tumble dry using low heat Do not tumble dry NEVER SWITCH THE DRYER OFF AND LEAVE A HOT LOAD IN THE DRUM DUE TO THE RISK OF FIRE.
CLEANING THE FILTER ALWAYS CLEAN THE FILTER AFTER EACH USE. Failure to do so could cause the safety cut-out to operate. EMPTYING THE WATER BOTTLE Pull the filter upwards and away from the appliance. Open the filter by pulling apart in the centre and then gently pressing down to release the catches at the edges. Remove any threads or fluff by hand or with a soft brush. Shut the filter and place back inside the appliance ensuring the arrow is pointing towards you. Wash the filter occasionally in detergent solution using a soft brush to remove small particles. Ensure that the filter is fully dry before next use. If your filter becomes damaged, replace it to ensure no damage is caused to the dryer. Pull the bottle out from the dryer and empty at the end of the drying cycle. WARNING: Ensure that the bottle is kept level and the rear supported as it is removed from the dryer in order to prevent water leaking from the water in-feed hole at the rear of the bottle. Replace the bottle ensuring that it is pushed all the way in. If the dryer is connected to a drain there is no need to empty the bottle but it must be correctly fitted to the machine. WARNING: Empty the water container after each use. The drying cycle will pause and the icon will flash if the bottle is full during the drying process. After the bottle has been emptied, the dryer can be restarted by pressing the Start/Pause button. WARNING: Do not drink the condensed water.
CLEANING THE HEAT EXCHANGER The Heat Exchanger and ducting should be cleaned monthly or more frequently if the dryer is in constant use. CAUTION: For maximum efficiency, the plates are made from very thin aluminium and are easily damaged. At all times, handle the Heat Exchanger carefully and avoid crushing the plates. Do not try to poke anything between the plates or use a hard object or tool for cleaning. REMOVING THE HEAT EXCHANGER - Open the maintenance cover by pressing down on the two catches - Twist both locking levers towards each other - Remove the Heat Exchanger cover - Pull out the Heat Exchanger - Clean and drain the Heat Exchanger thoroughly by using a shower nozzle or similar to remove any lint from inside the plates.
