4. Switch On
The dryer will not operate unless the safety button on the door is fully pressed in.
5. Clean Lint Filter
After every load cleans the lint filter located at the front of your dryer to reduce drying times and avoid overheating.
STANDARD FEATURES
Reversing Action
The drum is designed to turn one minute in each direction, clockwise and anti-clockwise. This reduces tangling and gives more even drying in a shorter time.
Cooling Down
At the end of the drying cycle, there is automatically a time of no heat, to cool down the load and minimize creasing.
Useful Hints
Never tumble dry the following: Delicate items such as net curtains, woolen, silk, fabric with metal trim, nylon tights, bulky materials such as anoraks, blankets, eiderdown, sleeping
bags, feather quilts, and any item containing rubber foam or materials similar to foam rubber.
Do not place in your dryer undergarments such as bras and corsets that contain metal reinforcements. Your dryer may be damaged if metal parts were to come loose from the
garment. Place such items in a bag designed for this purpose.
Check and empty pockets. Clips, pins, nails, and pins can damage both the dryer and your clothes. Other items such as matches or cigarette lighters will cause a fire.
Close all press studs, hooks, eyes, and zips that may catch on to something else. Tie all belts and apron strings to prevent tangling.
Drying time will depend on fabric type and construction, load size, and wetness. Save time and money and always spin the load as dry as possible in your washing machine.
Drying time will also be affected by voltage fluctuations, room temperature, and humidity. Clothes will dry more slowly on a cool or humid day.
For best results, sort the load according to fabric types. Such as heavy items which may take longer to dry, eg towels, flannelette sheets, etc, than ones that dry quickly, eg poly/cotton
shirts and sheets.
Avoid drying dark clothes with light-colored items such as towels as lint will show on the dark clothes.
Note: Some fabrics will collect lint from other clothes and items. Separate the lint ‘givers’ and the lint ‘collectors’ to minimize this problem. Clothes that give lint include towels, nappies,
chenille. Clothes that collect lint include corduroy, synthetics, and permanent press garments.
If individual items are still damp after drying, set a 30-minute post drying time. This will be necessary particularly for multilayered items (eg collars, pockets, etc).
Always clean the lint filter – this will reduce drying time and save you money.
Useful Hints, Troubleshooting & Accessories
The laundry must be thoroughly spun before tumble drying.
Easy-care items eg shirts should be briefly pre-spun before drying (depending on the crease resistance approximately 30 seconds)
To avoid static charge when drying is completed, use either a fabric softener when you are washing the laundry or a fabric conditioner specifically for tumble dryers.
Remove the laundry when the dryer has finished drying.
Do not over-dry laundry, this avoids creasing and saves energy.
Clothes or towels containing sand or grit should be washed first.
