Timer control

Turn the timer clockwise to select the required drying time.

 

The timer controls the drying time for both heat settings. All you have to

 

do is turn the Timer control clockwise, until the required time appears in

 

line with the indicator.

 

 

Never wind the timer control anti-clockwise.

 

Turning the timer also starts the dryer, provided the door is closed and the

 

machine is plugged in. The “Guide To Drying Times” section will tell you

 

how much time you’ll need for various loads.

Heat Selection

The button is ‘OUT’ for LOW heat and ‘IN’ for HIGH heat.

 

The choice of HIGH HEAT or LOW HEAT depends upon the fabric you wish

 

to dry (see section, ‘Sorting your Laundry’)

Fresh Air Selection

The button is ‘OUT’ for normal drying and ‘IN’ for ‘Fresh Air’ drying.

 

If selected, outside air will be drawn into the machine and gently blown

 

through the drying load.

 

Drying Light

This light glows during any drying programme and goes out at the start of

 

the ‘Cool Tumble/Fresh Air’ phase.

Fresh Air Light

This light glows during any drying programme when the Fresh Air option

 

is selected.

 

The ‘Cool Tumble’/

About 20 minutes before the programme is completed, the heating

‘Fresh Air’ phase

elements will be switched off, and the programme enters either the final

/

‘Cool Tumble’ or ‘Fresh Air’ phase. During this phase, the fabric is cooled.

 

You should always allow the dryer to complete this phase.

 

By opening the door, the dryer will stop and you can check the dryness of

 

the load as often as you wish and if you want to remove (or add) some

 

items before they are fully dry. (This is particularly useful for a mixed load

 

where you want to iron some items, but other to be fully dried).

 

We recommend that the clothes are removed immediately after the

 

programme has finished to minimise creasing.

 

 

 

NEVER SWITCH THE DRYER ‘OFF’ WITH A HOT LOAD IN THE DRUM.

 

YOU MUST TERMINATE EVERY PROGRAMME WITH THE COOL TUMBLE

 

 

OR FRESH AIR PHASE.
