Where you can select the length of the drying

display in 30 minute increments until '1' (1 hour)
is displayed.
- Pressing the Drying Times button again after
'1' is displayed cancels the drying programme,
'Off' will appear in the display, no drying
programme is selected.
! Remember, with both the Auto 'Sensor Dry' and
the 'Timed Drying' programmes the Drying High
Heat button needs to be selected if drying non-
delicate loads (eg. Cottons).
Important information:
! To improve the life expectancy of your machine,
it is recommended that you do not stop or cancel
your programme during the drying cycle.
! It is recommended that you allow the programme to
complete its full cycle, which includes completing the
'cool tumble' phase.
! A 20 minute 'cool tumble' is included at the end
of drying, allowing fabrics to cool down, minimising
creasing - The load may still be warm when
removed from the machine.
! If your machine is not permanently plumbed in, turn
on the cold water supply and hook the drain hose
over the sink to enable the condensing action to
work.
! The dryer is intended for use only where water is
used for the cleaning process.
! Be careful not to touch the drum at the top as this
area does get hot during drying.
! On no account should liquid fabric conditioner be
added during the drying process.
! Misuse of the dryer may create a fire hazard.
! Select HIGH heat by pressing the Drying High
Heat option button. If this option is not selected
the programme will automatically default to LOW
heat.
! A spin cycle may be carried out during the
drying programme.
! Your machine is fitted with a revolutionary self-
clean filter, which will flush with water during
drying - therefore you may hear water entering the
machine during the drying cycle.
