When the container is full the `EMPTY WATER' indicator on the control panel will light, and the container MUST be emptied. However, we recommend that the container is emptied after each drying cycle. NOTE: Very little water will collect during the first few cycles of a new machine as an internal reservoir is filled first. To remove the container 1. When it is full the water container will weigh about 4kg. 2. Empty the water from the outlet in the rear of the container. PUSH FIRMLY INTO PLACE. NOTE: If you have the option of drainage near the dryer it is possible to use the discharge kit to provide a permanent drain for the water collected by the dryer. All the information for assembly of the kit is contained in the kit envelope. 13 40005147. qxd 12/07/2007 13:08 Page 14 Condenser To remove the condenser 1.

The table below lists the programmes and the function of each programme. 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 problem persists after completing the recommended checks, please call the GIAS Service (tel: 08705 400 600), they may be able to assist you over the telephone.
