Operation

1. Open the door and load the drum with
laundry. Ensure that garments do not
hinder closure of the door.
2. Gently close the door pushing it slowly
until you hear the door 'click' shut.
3. Press the 'ON/OFF' button to switch
on the dryer. The indicator will light.
4. Turn the 'PROGRAM' dial to select
the required drying program:
e.g. if you are drying cotton laundry
and would like it suitable for ironing
please select the iron dry option.
The PRE-IRONING setting shown by
the symbol on the 'PROGRAM'
dial provides a conditioning and anti-
crease function. The dryer will heat the
load for 9 minutes followed by a 3
minute cool down period and is
especially good for garments which
may have been left for some time prior
to ironing, in a linen basket for
example. Garments may also become
stiffened when dried outside on a
washing line or inside on radiators. The
PRE-IRONING process relaxes the
creases in the fabric making ironing
quicker and easier.
5. If drying delicate items on the 'timed'
programs press the 'DELICATES'
button to reduce the heat level. Press
again on completion, to select high
temperature.
HIGH Heat setting
LOW Heat setting
If airing or drying very delicate items
select the airing option on the 'drying
time' dial ( ).
6. Press the 'START' button. The dryer
will start automatically and the
'HEATING' indicator will light (
Drying sensor
A sensor will detect when the load is
dry. The drying cycle will then go into
the cooldown period and the
'COOLING' indicator will light (
After 10 minutes of cooldown the drum
will stop rotating automatically.
Note:
(i) The sensor may not detect a small
load of small articles. For small loads
and separate items or pre-dried
fabrics with low moisture content,
utilise the timed programs. Set the
program between 30 and 75 minutes
depending upon load size and
dryness required and select high or
low heat depending upon the fabric
type. If this is not carried out the
dryer will only operate for 10
minutes before going into cooldown.
(ii) If the sensor does not operate, for
example when a load is too large or
too wet to tumble dry, the dryer will
automatically go into cooldown after
180 minutes.
The dryer can be set to start up to 9
hours after the program has been set.
To set the time delay option press and
release the 'START DELAY' (
button until the required delay (shown
in hours) appears on the display and
then press the 'START' button. The
display will flash.
As each hour passes the figure shown
on the display will count down. When
it gets to 0 the dryer will start.
The delay can be changed at any time
simply by pressing the button until the
new figure appears on the display.
If there is an interruption to the
electricity supply the time delay will be
lost and so will have to be re-set when
the power is restored.
