If there is any doubt about installation, call the national GIAS Service number for advice. 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. 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.

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.

For small loads and separate items or pre-dried fabrics with low moisture content, use the timed programmes. Set the programme between 30 and 75 minutes depending on the load size and dryness required, and select high or low heat depending upon the fabric type. If the sensor does not detect the item the dryer will only operate for 10 minutes before going into cooldown. If the load is too large or too wet to tumble dry the dryer will automatically go into cooldown after 185 minutes. Programme Bone Dry Extra Dry Cupboard Dry Iron Dry Wool Finish A gentle programme specially created to get woollens softer after airdrying. This delicate warm air cycle, lasting 12 minutes, can also be used to get woollens 'refreshed' after being stored in the wardrobe. Fast Iron The Fast Iron programme provides a conditioning and anticrease function. The dryer will heat the load for 9 minutes followed by a 3 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. The Fast Iron process relaxes the creases in the fabric making ironing quicker and easier. [. . . ] After each period of use, wipe the inside of the drum and leave the door open for a while to allow circulation of air to dry it. To prevent the door sticking or the build up of fluff periodically clean the inner door and gasket with a damp cloth.
