TUMBLE DRYER

IDC 8T3 B (UK)

IDC 8T3 B S (UK)   

Step 1

Open the door of your dryer.

Step 2

Pull out the filter (using the two 

finger grips).

Step 3

Clean the fluff off the filter and 

replace it correctly. 

Step 4

Make sure the filter is pushed fully home - 

NEVER run the dryer without the filter in position.

Failure to clean the filter after EVERY drying 

cycle will affect the drying performance of your 

machine.

It will take longer to dry and as a result will use 

more electricity during drying

.

Step 1

Open the condenser cover.

Step 2

Remove the condenser by turning 

the 3 catches and 

pulling the condenser 

towards you. It is normal for some 

residual water to be left in the 

condenser unit.

Step 3

Flush the condenser 

from the rear with water to remove 

any fluff deposits.

Step 4

Replace the condenser unit and 

make sure that all 3 catches are 

closed and that the position arrows 

on the front of the condenser are 

pointing upwards.

WHERE TO INSTALL THE TUMBLE DRYER

 Install the dryer far from 

gas ranges, stoves, radiators 

or hobs as flames may 

damage it. If the dryer is 

installed below a worktop, 

ensure there are 10 mm 

between the upper panel of 

the dryer and any objects 

above it and 15 mm between 

the sides of the machine 

and the walls or furniture units adjacent to it. This 

ensures adequate air circulation.The appliance 

must be installed with the rear surface placed 

against a wall. 

! We do not recommend that the dryer is installed 

in a cupboard but the dryer must never be 

installed behind a lockable door, a sliding door or 

a door with a hinge on the opposite side to that of 

the dryer door

.

Priming the Water Collection System.

When your dryer is new, the water container will not collect water 
until the system is primed. This will take 1 or 2 drying cycles. Once 
primed it will collect water during every drying cycle.

WATER DRAINAGE CONNECTION

If the dryer is installed next to a drain the 
water can be plumbed into this drain. This 
does away with the need to empty the 
water container. The height of the drain 
must be less than 1m from the bottom of 
the dryer. Remove the existing hose from 
the dryer and connect it to the drain (if 
required add an additional length of hose).

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS

The socket must be grounded. 

! The power cord must be regularly checked. If 

the supply cord is damaged it must be replaced 

by the manufacturer, its service agent or similarly 

qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard.

BEFORE YOU START USING YOUR DRYER

Once you have installed your dryer and before 

you use it clean the inside of the drum to remove 

any dust that could have accumulated during 

transport.

CONDENSER UNIT

You MUST clean the fluff from the condenser 

EVERY month. Failure to clean the condenser 

could cause premature failure of your dryer.

Remove the condenser unit regularly (at least 

monthly) and clean off any fluff deposits.

WATER CONTAINER

You 

MUST

 empty the water container after 

EVERY

 

drying cycle. Removing the water container:

Step 1 

Pull the water container 

towards you and remove it 

completely from the dryer.

Step 2 

Empty all the water in the 

water container.

Step 3 

Replace the water 

container making sure that it is securely fixed. 

2

! Failure to empty the water container will 

 

cause the machine to stop heating and the 

load may still be wet at the end of the drying 

cycle. The ‘Empty Water’ light will tell you 

that the water container needs to  be emptied

FLUFF FILTER

You must clean the fluff filter after EVERY drying cycle.
