Setting the Timer
Turn the timer clockwise to select the required drying time. The drying
time for both heat settings is controlled by the timer. All you have to do
is turn the Timer Control clockwise until the required time appears in
line with the indicator.
Never wind the timer control anti-clockwise.
This operation also starts the dryer, provided the door is closed and
the machine is plugged in. The "Guide To Drying Times" section will tell
you how much time you'll need for various loads.
Heat selection
Button 'IN' High Heat
Button 'OUT' Low Heat
The choice of FULL HEAT or LOW HEAT depends upon the fabric you
wish to dry. (see section "Sorting Your Laundry")
The 'Cool Tumble'
About 10 minutes before the programme is completed, the heating
Phase
elements will be switched off, and the programme enters the final
'Cool Tumble' phase. During this phase the fabric is cooled. You
should always allow the dryer to complete this phase.
By opening the door you can check the dryness of the load as often
as you wish, and if you want to remove some items before they are
fully dry. (This is particularly useful for a mixed load where you want
to iron some items but others are to be fully dried).
We recommend that the clothes are removed immediately this
programme is finished to minimise creasing.
Never switch the dryer off with a hot load in the drum.
You must terminate every programme with the Cool Tumble Phase.

Drying Times
1. Always separate laundry into the correct fabric groups before
washing and drying.
2. See that all zips are closed, hooks and eyes are fastened and
belt, strings etc. are tied loosely in bows, you will normally have
done this for each item before the washing stage.
3. It is important to extract as much water as possible from each
item before drying. This saves you time and money.
WARNING: CLOTHES SHOULD NEVER BE LOADED
DRIPPING WET
4. Make sure that the items to be dried are suitable for tumble
drying, or are not of a type requiring 'special attention' (see"Wash
Care Labels" section).
Maximum Your dryer will hold a load of 5kg (11lb) dry weight of natural fabrics.
load size if you are drying items of man-made fibres (synthetic or acrylics), the
maximum load should not exceed 3kg (6.6lb) dry weight.
This difference is that man-made fibres require more space to
tumble-dry without creasing.
WARNING: DO NOT OVERLOAD AS THIS COULD RESULT IN
REDUCED DRYING PERFORMANCE AND A POSSIBLE FIRE
HAZARD.
Typical load
To help you estimate how many items it takes to make up a drying
load, the charts below show the approximate weights of some
everyday washing items.
Clothes

Dress Cotton

Jeans

Shirt Cotton

If you group small cotton or terry-towelling items with a synthetic
fabric load they could be damp at the end of the drying cycle. If this
happens simply give them an additional short period of drying to
finish them off.
