INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS Venting Correct installation is very important for all dryers to ensure maximum efficiency and safety. IMPORTANT! Never run the dryer unless the airflow system is free from obstruction. There must be adequate ventilation to avoid the back flow of gases into the room from appliances burning fuels, including open fires, when operating the dryer.

Freestanding The dryer stands on the floor and can easily be moved into position. Move the dryer into the desired position. Do not lift the dryer by the top panel.

SORTING AND LOADING When preparing your load there are some important things to consider: Sorting We recommend sorting your garments before placing them into the dryer. ● ● Sort into loads of similar items, and loads that will likely take similar times to dry. Heavier items (eg towels, and flannelette sheets) are best dried separately from lightweight items (eg synthetics, polyester-cotton sheets and shirts).
Page 26
SORTING AND LOADING Before you load Check pockets for items that could damage your clothes or get caught in the dryer. ● ● Close zippers, hooks and eyes, and other fastenings (ie fasten the openings of duvet/ ● ● doona covers), and remove loose bra wires. These may damage both your dryer and your clothes.
Your dryer will default to the ‘Everyday’ cycle. Select your desired drying cycle by pressing the cycle button of your choice. DE7060M, DE6060M, DE5060M and DE5060MU models only. Select your preferred drying options, using the buttons on the right hand side of the panel (if you wish to select options different from the default options for the cycle).
We suggest that you avoid using ‘Delay Start’ for damp, non-colourfast items as this may cause dye run to occur. Drying cycle options (DE7060M, DE6060M, DE5060M and DE5060MU models only) All drying cycles default to the recommended options based on the average expected load to be dried.

CUSTOMISING DRYING CYCLE Customising dryer cycles (DE7060M, DE6060M, DE5060M and DE5060MU models only) After using your dryer a few times you may discover there are some drying options you prefer for some cycles. You can programme your dryer to remember the drying options you prefer for each drying cycle, eg you may want to set the ‘Everyday’...
CARING FOR YOUR DRYER When you have finished using your dryer Unplug the machine from the power socket. ● ● Wipe around the door to remove any remaining condensation and foreign matter. ● ● Clear the lint filter. ● ● Cleaning your dryer Before you start cleaning your dryer, ensure that it is disconnected from the power (ie unplug the machine from the power socket).
BEFORE YOU CALL FOR SERVICE User warnings Your dryer is capable of diagnosing a number of its own problems. It will sound a continuous series of beeps and display a user prompt when it has a problem that you can correct yourself. To stop the beeps sounding, touch any button on the control panel.
FAULT CODES When a continuous series of beeps is sounded, all the lights turn off on the control panel and a number appears on the display, a fault has occurred.
