Leveling the dryer

Importance of leveling the dryer

It is important that your dryer is level and that all four dryer feet press with equal pressure against the floor. This will help assure the quietest, most vibration-free use of your dryer.

To adjust the dryer feet:

  1. Install the dryer on a level and solid surface, preferably in a corner of a room.
  2. If the floor is uneven (or not level) adjust the dryer feet as required to level the dryer. Do not place anything under the dryer feet to help level the dryer.
  3. Extend the dryer feet no more than is necessary. The more the feet are extended, the more vibration the dryer will experience. Start with the dryer feet turned all the way in and adjust each foot as necessary.
  4. Use a bubble level to check the top of the dryer to make sure it is level side to side and front to rear.
  5. Press down on each corner of the dryer top to make sure the dryer does not “wobble“. There should be no "give" or movement. All four dryer feet should press equally against the floor. This is just as important as the dryer being level to prevent vibration.

Check heating system

  1. Check that the drum is empty.
  2. Close the dryer door.
  3. Switch the dryer to Extra Dry and then press the Start/Pause button.
  4. After 3-5 minutes press the Start/Pause button and open the door.
    • If the interior of the dryer feels warm, the dryer has been connected properly. Switch the dryer to Off.
    • If the dryer does not work, switch the dryer to Off. Look in the Troubleshooting section of this user manual and find the fault.

Preparing to transport the dryer - step by step

  1. Rotate the program selector to Off.
  2. Pull out power supply plug.
  3. Place any accessories in the drum.
  4. Close the door and secure with adhesive tape.

Laundry

Preparing the laundry

NOTICE: Damage to the appliance/fabrics

Foreign objects (e.g. coins, paper-clips, needles, nails) may damage the laundry or components in the dryer.

Therefore, note the following tips when preparing your laundry:

* Empty all pockets to ensure no loose debris (coins, keys, other hard objects and cigarette lighters) are placed in the dryer drum. The drum must be empty prior to drying

  • Close any fasteners (such as zippers, hooks and eyelets) that could cause laundry to catch or become entangled. Button up covers. Tie cloth belts, apron strings, etc. together or use a laundry bag.
  • Remove any foreign objects or non-washable parts.
  • Always dry very small items (such as socks and handkerchiefs) and underwired bras together with large items of laundry or in a laundry bag.

Sorting the laundry

Check the care labels on each laundry item prior to drying. They provide valuable information as well as limitations about the temperature of drying process. Choose an appropriate drying cycle.

Do not dry the following textiles in the dryer:

  • air-tight textiles (e.g. rubberized),
  • delicate fabrics (silk, synthetic curtains),
  • oil-stained laundry.

Drying tips

  • To ensure a uniform drying result, sort the laundry according to fabric type and drying program.
  • Do not over-dry easy-care laundry - risk of wrinkling! Allow laundry to finish drying in the air.
  • Do not iron laundry immediately after drying. Place the laundry in a pile for a short while. Residual moisture will then be distributed uniformly.
  • Knitted fabrics (e.g. T-shirts, jerseys) often shrink when tumble-dried for the first time. Do not use the Extra Dry program.
  • Do not dry woolens in the dryer. They may, however, be refreshed by using the Woolens program.
  • Starched laundry is not always suitable for dryer. Starch leaves behind a coating that reduces the drying effect.
  • When washing laundry that is to be tumble-dried afterwards, use the correct amount of fabric softener as specified in the manufacturer’s instructions.
  • For pre-dried, multi-layered fabrics or small, individual items of laundry, use the Time program. ~ Program selection table; Also suitable for subsequent drying.
