If the mains cord
on this appliance
is damaged, it
must be replaced
by a special cord
which is ONLY
obtainable from
the GIAS spares
service. It must
be installed by a

correctly installed.
If there is any doubt about installation,
call GIAS Service for advice.
40005044ENG.qxd 31/05/2007 12:48 Page 6
Adequate ventilation must be provided in the
room where the tumble dryer is located to
prevent gases from appliances burning other
fuels, including open fires, being drawn into the
room during operation of the tumble dryer.
Exhaust air must not be discharged into a
flue which is used for exhausting fumes
from appliances burning gas or other fuels.
Check regularly that the air flowing through
the dryer is not restricted.
Check the fluff filter after use, and clean, if
necessary.
The inlet and outlets should be kept free
from obstructions. To ensure adequate
ventilation the space between the bottom
of the machine and the floor must not be
obstructed. There should be a gap of at
least 12mm between the machine and any
obstructions.
Prevent items from falling or collecting
behind the dryer as these may obstruct the
air inlet and outlet.
NEVER install the dryer up against curtains.
Installation of the Discharge Hose
It is essential to use a venting hose to carry the
hot moist air away from the dryer unless the
dryer is situated in a open space with a good air
flow around it. Re-recirculation of the moist air
will prevent the efficient operation of the dryer.
The hose is assembled to the machine as shown
The hose may be fitted through a wall or
through an open door or window. The hose is
110mm in diameter and will extend 1.8 meters.
The following guidelines should be followed
when installing the discharge hose.
Do not use two hoses joined together as the drying performance will be
reduced.
Do not restrict the flow of air through the hose e.g. by kinking it or
7
Ventilation
40005044ENG.qxd 31/05/2007 12:48 Page 7
fitting a smaller diameter connector to mount to a wall opening.
Avoid the hose making U shaped curves as this will restrict the flow of air
and increase the chance that water will collect in the hose.
Check the hose regularly to remove any build-up of fluff or water that
may have collected in it.
The following diagrams give examples of good and bad installations.
Before using the tumble dryer for the first time:
Please read this instruction book thoroughly.
Remove all items packed inside drum.
Wipe the inside of the drum and door with
a damp cloth to remove any dust which may
have settled in transit.
Clothes preparation
Make sure that the laundry you are going to dry
is suitable for drying in a tumble dryer, as shown
by the care symbols on each item.
Check that all fastenings are closed and that
pockets are empty. Turn the articles inside out.
Place clothes loosely in the drum to make sure
that they don't get tangled.
8
Preparing the load
Do not overload
the drum, large
items when wet
can exceed the
maximum
admissible
clothes load
(for example:
sleeping bags,
duvets).
40005044ENG.qxd 31/05/2007 12:48 Page 8
Maximum drying weight
Cottons Max. 8 kg
Synthetics Max. 4 kg
Sort the load as follows:
By care symbols
These can be found on the collar or inside
seam:
Suitable for tumble drying.
Tumble drying at high temperature.
Tumble drying at low temperature only.
Do not tumble dry.
If the item does not have a care label it
must be assumed that it is not suitable
for tumble drying.
By amount and thickness
Whenever the load is bigger than the dryer
capacity, separate clothes according to
thickness (e.g. towels from thin underwear).
By type of fabric
Cottons/linen: Towels, cotton jersey, bed and
table linen.
Synthetics: Blouses, shirts, overalls, etc.
made of polyester or polyamid, as well as
for cotton/synthetic mixes.
By drying level
Sort into: iron dry, cupboard dry, etc. For
delicate articles press the button to
select low drying temperature.
9
40005044ENG.qxd 31/05/2007 12:48 Page 9
Do not tumble dry:
Woollens, silk, delicate fabrics, nylon stockings,
delicate embroidery, fabrics with metallic
decorations, garments with PVC or leather
trimmings, training shoes, bulky items such as
sleeping bags, etc.
Energy saving
Only put into the tumble dryer laundry which has
been thoroughly wrung or spin-dried. The drier
the laundry the shorter the drying time thus
saving electricity.
ALWAYS
Try to dry the maximum weight of laundry,
this will save time and electricity.
Check that the filter is clean before every
drying cycle.
NEVER
Exceed the maximum weight, this will waste
time and electricity.
Put dripping wet items into the tumble
dryer, this may damage the appliance.
10
Drying advice
IMPORTANT: Do
not dry articles
which have been
treated with a
dry cleaning fluid
or rubber clothes
(danger of fire or
explosion).
During the last
15 minutes the
load is always
tumbled in
cool air.

Door and Filter
WARNING!
When the tumble dryer is in use the
drum and door may be VERY HOT.
Never stop a tumble dryer before
the end of the drying cycle unless
all items are quickly removed and
spread out so that the heat is
dissipated.
40005044ENG.qxd 31/05/2007 12:49 Page 12
Refer to the Drying guide table or the fabric
labels to select the most suitable programme.
Open the door and load the drum with
laundry. Ensure that garments do not hinder
closure of the door.
If drying delicate items press the button
to reduce the heat level. Press again on
completion, to select high temperature.
HIGH heat setting
LOW heat setting
Turn the 'DRYING TIME' Selector until the
required drying time aligns with the dial.
The programme provides a conditioning
and anti-crease function. The dryer will heat
the load for 8 minutes followed by a 2
minute cool down period and is especially
good for garments which may have been
left for some time prior to ironing, in a linen
basket for example. Garments may also
become stiffened when dried outside on a
washing line or inside on radiators. This
process relaxes the creases in the fabric
making ironing quicker and easier.
Gently close the door pushing it slowly until
you hear the door 'click' shut.
Press the button. The indicator will light
and the drying cycle begins.
The load is dried by tumbling in
thermostatically controlled warm air. Cool
air is used for the last 15 minutes to
reduce creasing and cool the load ready for
handling.
When the program is fully completed the
drum will stop rotating and the dial will
point to 0.
Open the door and remove the load.
Clean the filter after every drying cycle to
ensure maximum dryer efficiency.
13
Operation
WARNING!
The drum, door
and load may be
very hot.
