manual abstract
Items that have been soiled with substances such as cooking oil, acetone, alcohol, petrol, kerosene, spot removers, turpentine, waxes and wax removers should be washed in hot water with an extra amount of detergent before being dried in the tumble dryer. Fabric softeners, or similar products, should be used as specified by the fabric softener instructions. Remove all objects from pockets such as lighters and matches. We recommend that the appliance is switched off each time after use. It should be disconnected from the electricity supply if it is to be unattended for long periods, ( i.e weekends or holiday etc). Do not Overload the dryer. Do not Dry articles singly as they tend to roll up and so increase drying time. Do not Dry anything other than the recommended articles be placed in the tumble dryer. These can cause fires. Do not Place articles which have been in contact with dry cleaning fluid, petrol, cooking oil, fat, hair laquer or other flammable substances in the tumble dryer. Do not Attempt to dry dripping wet articles. Do not Dry unwashed items in the tumble dryer. Do not Dry wool or wool mixture articles unless the article is labeled as suitable. This should avoid shrinkage. Do not Items such as foam rubber (latex foam), shower caps, waterproof textiles, rubber backed articles and clothes or pillows fitted with foam rubber pads should not be dried in the tumble dryer. Do not Exhaust air must not be discharged into a flue which is used for exhausting fumes from appliances burning gas or other fuels. Do not Allow the vent hose (where applicable) or filter to become blocked. Do not Allow lint to accumulate around the tumble dryer. Do not Use a two-way or multi-way adapter, or extension lead. The dryer must be connected to its own individual socket. Do not Use the tumble dryer if you suspect that it is damaged in any way. Never switch the dryer off and leave a hot load in the drum – risk of fire. WARNING: Never stop a tumble dryer before the end of a drying cycle unless all items are quickly removed and spread out so the heat is dissipated. This label positioned on the rear of your dryer, indicates the surface is hot when in operation – avoid touching. 2 Use And Controls A. The timer - Turn the timer knob clockwise until the required programme around the timer knob is selected. B. Heat setting - Select gentle or intensive heat as recommended on the control panel C. Start - Press the start button after selecting the required drying time. • Sort out the clothes into groups of similar fabrics and colours. Check the care label inside the garment. We suggest that a fabric conditioner be used to reduce static electricity. Delicate articles e.g. tights should be placed inside a pillowcase. It is better to dry small and large articles together. • Open the door. • Load clothes loosely into the drum. • Load sheets first starting with one corner. • Close the door. • Dry your hands. • Check the timer is in the’0’ position. • Switch on the machine. • Select correct heat position. • Set the timer to the correct position (See programme around the timer on fascia panel). • Press the start button. • The drum will now begin to rotate and will stop automatically when the timer reaches the ‘0’ position. • Once the clothes are removed, clean the filter • Switch off the electricity supply.

When drying large items such as sheets, we suggest you stop the dryer to redistribute the load. To stop the machine during the middle of a programme, open the door: the drum will stop rotating automatically and reset when you close the door. To lengthen or shorten the programme, turn the timer knob. The final part of the drying cycle occurs without heat (cool down cycle) to ensure that the items will not be damaged. Care labels you may find on your fabrics ‘Suitable for tumble drying’ ‘Do not tumble dry’ ‘Dry flat’ 4 Care And Maintenance Cleaning The Filter The filter is found, by opening the door (fig.2.) and must always be in position when drying items in the appliance. To allow the dryer to operate efficiently the filter should be cleaned after each drying cycle. Do not be alarmed by the amount of lint deposited on the mesh. It is not due to excessive wear caused by the dryer but more an indication of its efficient operation. All fabric loses lint when drying but it goes unnoticed into the air. In a tumble dryer it simply collects in the filter. After removing the...
