The anti crease progress indicator will start blinking during the time anti crease phase is running. The drum will rotate for 5 seconds every minute and will go for 1 hour Anti crease phase cannot be disabled.

NOTE: Anti crease can be stopped at any time by opening the door and removing the clothes.

Operating Sequence

Step 1

Load your dryer loosely until it is no more than TWO THIRD FULL. Clothes must tumble freely in a dryer. Don’t cram them in. Wet clothesfluff up when dry.

Overloading will :

• Reduce efficiency
• Increase drying time
• Increases the risk of creasing

Do not load clothes or other articles which are dripping wet or have sand and grit on them into your dryer.

Step 2

SWITCH ON The dryer will not operate unless the door is completely close.

Step 3

Turn the Program Selector knob to choose the drying program you want.

Program Guide

For best results we recommend to sort out your laundry

- Do not select the “Extra Dry” option for delicate fabrics such as polyester as shrinking may occur.

- To obtain the best drying results with small loads it is recommended to use “Time drying” program.

WARNING: Never stop a tumble dryer before the end of the drying cycle unless all items are quickly removed and spread out so that the heat is dissipated.

Reversing Action

The drum is designed to rotate in both direction, clockwise and anti-clockwise. This reduces tangling and gives more even drying is a shorter time.

Step 4

Turn the Program Selector knob to "OFF” When you have finished using the dryer to turn off the power, then switch off at the power point. It is recommended to power off the appliance when not in use.

Step 5

Clean Lint Filter

After every load clean the lint filter to reduce drying time and avoid overheating.

Checking the Load

To check the dryness or add clothes during the cycle, simply open the door. The dryer will beep several times indicating the door is open. If further drying is required, close the door and then press the Start/Pause button to continue.

For the best drying performance, only add or remove clothes at the begining of the drying cycle.

Hints

• Never tumble dry the following : Delicate items such as net curtains, woollen, silk, fabric with metal trim, nylon tights, bulky metarials 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 part were to come loose fro the garment. Place such items in a bag designed for this purpose.
• Check and empty pockets. Clip, pens, nails and pins can damage bth the dryer and your clothes. Other item such as matches or cigarette lighters will cause a fire.
• Close all press studs, hooks, eyes and zips that may catch on something else. Tie all belts and aporn string 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 your washing machine.
• Always clean the lint filter-this will reduce drying time and save you money.
• The laundry must be thoroughly spun before tumble drying.
• Easy-care items eg shirt, should be briefly pre-spun before drying (depending on tnis crease resistance approximately 30 seconds).
• If individual items are still damp after drying, please add appropriate Time Drying program. This may be necessary particularly for multilayered items (e.g. jeans, items with collars or pocket) or very small loads.
• 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
• Due to variations in dryer load fabric texture and thickness it is possible that not all items will be dried evenly. It you experience uneven dryness on Cupboard program please use either Extra Dry or Timer Program but be mindful of the type of fabric being dried to avoid overdrying certain types of fabric. Always follow drying instructions attached to the items intended to be dried in a clothes dryer.
• Drying time will also be effected 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. Such as heavy items which may take longer to dry, eg. towels, flannelette sheets, etc. than ones which dry quickly, eg. poly/cotton shirts and and sheets.
• Avoid drying dark clothes with light coloured 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 “gives” and the lint “collectors” to minimise this problem.
• Clothes that give lint include towels, nappies, chenille. Clothes that collect lint include corduroy, synthetics and permanent press garments.
• If individule items are still damp after drying, set a 30 minutes post drying time. This wil be necessary particularly for multilayered items (eg. collars, pockets, etc).
• To help you, here is a list of the average weights of some common laundry items.
