Once the Start button has been pressed, the program is locked and all buttons are disabled. To stop the
machine and unlock the buttons - open the door
There is an automatic 12 minute cool down period at the end of each cycle, during which the heater is
switched off and the green cool indicator is on. This helps to minimize creasing, and must always be used
fully to avoid the risk of fire.
DELAY START
To use the Delay Start feature press the Delay Start button before pressing the Start button. The Delay
Start display will show 1 hour of delay time. Repeated pressing, or holding down, of the Delay Start
button will increase the amount of delay time to a maximum of 9 hours. To cancel Delay Start, press the
Reset button. To start the delay period press Start. The delay time will start to count down in the display
window. To cancel Delay Start once the countdown has started, de-power the machine by opening the
dryer door.
NEVER SWITCH THE DRYER OFF AND LEAVE A HOT LOAD IN THE DRUM DUE TO THE
RISK OF FIRE.
- When drying large items such as sheets, we suggest you periodically stop the dryer to redistribute the
load.
- To stop the machines during the middle of the programme simply open the door; the drum will stop
rotating automatically. To restart the machine, close the door, press the Activate button and then press the
Start button.
* After removing the dried clothes
ALWAYS CLEAN THE FILTER. Failure to clean the filter will extend drying times and could cause
the safety cut-out to operate.
SECTION 6: ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
* Any Problems?
If the clothes are not dry after normal drying time:
- Check that you have selected an appropriate programme and heat setting
- Check that the lint filter has been cleaned. A blocked filter will restrict the airflow.
- Check that the venting system is clear, and the front air inlet is not blocked.
- Ensure the dryer is not overloaded. Restart the appliance with 'Extra Dry' selected and the heat switch
on the high setting, press Activate and then Start buttons and observe the neon remains lit for more than
one minute. If the neon goes out within the minute wait a further three minutes before stopping and
restarting the appliance by opening and closing the door and pressing the Activate button and then the
Start button. Observe the neon remains lit for more than one minute and the appliance continues to heat
throughout the cycle (the window remains warm) and the clothes are dry at the end of the cycle.
- Pull the filter upwards and away from the appliance
- Remove any threads or fluff by hand or with a soft brush.
- Slide the filter back.
- Wash the filter occasionally in detergent solution and with a soft brush to remove
small particles.
- If your filter becomes damaged, replace it to ensure no damage is caused to the
dryer.
