Operating Sequence

Step 1

Load your dryer loosely until it is no more than TWO THIRDS FULL. Clothes must tumble freely in a dryer. Don't cram them in. Wet clothes fluff up when dry.

Overloading will:

• Reduce efficiency
• Increase drying time
• Increase 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 safety switch button is fully pressed in.

Step 3

Press then release the On/Off button on the control panel. You are now ready to select your drying Program.

You can use your dryer 2 ways

• Auto sensing
• Manual timing program

1. Select Drying Program or Set Drying Time

Drying Program

This mode gives you the option of selecting different drying levels.

Press “ ” button or “ ” button to select either “Extra Dry”, “Normal Dry”, “Iron Dry” for full load and “Fast 40”, “Delicate”, “Refresh” for smaller load.

Time drying

This option allows you to set the program duration.

Press the “ ” button or “ ” button to select either 90, 60 and 30 min.

2. Select Option

Press the “Option” button to select either Boost or Low Heat from the option program.

Refer to the table below for option setting recommendations.

“Airing” is NOT available in Drying program.

3. Now press Start/Pause button to start the Dryer.

Last Memory Setting

Next time you turn your dryer on it will be ready to go as it remembers the last Program, Temperature and Option setting used. You can change the settings if you wish.

Reversing Action

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

Step 4

Switch Off

When you have finished using the dryer, press the On/Off button, 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 push in the door safety switch button, then press the Start/Pause button to continue.

For the best drying performance, only add or remove clothes at

Cooling

Your dryer will automatically switch off the heater at the end of every drying cycle. The cooling light will come on. This is important as it removes stored heat from the clothes and helps prevent creasing.

At the end of cooling the buzzer will sound to indicate your clothes are dry (unless you have de-selected this function). It will sound again after about fifteen minutes. The Clean Filter Reminder light will remain on.

The progress indicator lights let you know what the dryer is doing, either drying, cooling or finished.

Hints

• Never tumble dry the following: Delicate items such as net curtains, woollen, 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, pens, 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 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 which dry quickly, eg poly/cotton shirts and sheets.
• Avoid drying dark clothes with light coloured items such as towels as lintwill 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 minimise 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.
• 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.
• 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 Normal Dry 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.

To help you, here is a list of the average weights of some common laundry items.
