The Controls

Timer Control – Model TS13

To operate the dryer, close the door and turn the timer control from the zero position in a clockwise direction slightly past the required drying time, then back to set the exact time.

The timer can be set to any time up to 120 minutes and can be reset at any time as required to increase or reduce the time to dry. The timer is electrically driven and will therefore only advance when there is power supplied to the dryer and the dryer door is closed. The time indicated on the timer includes approximately 10 minutes of tumble with the heat off. Note that the dryer must never be turned off leaving the clothes in the drum without first completing the heat off cool-down period.

Timer Control – Model TS14

To operate the dryer, close the door and turn the timer control clockwise from 120 to the required drying time. The timer can be set to any time up to 120 minutes and can be reset at any time as required to increase or reduce the time to dry, but in doing so the timer knob must only be turned clockwise. Turning the timer backwards will cause damage and it must therefore be turned forwards even to reach ‘Off’ position. The timer is electrically driven and will therefore only advance when there is power supplied to the dryer and the dryer door is closed. The time indicated on the timer includes approximately 10 minutes of tumble with the heat off. Note that the dryer should never be turned off leaving the clothes in the drum without first completing the heat off cool-down period.

Heat Control Switch

Low heat is obtained with the switch OUT and should be used to dry acrylics and acrylic mixtures (excluding wool mixtures). Full heat is obtained by pressing the switch IN, and should be used to dry other materials (excluding wool and wool mixtures). For instructions concerning wool see page 11.

Automatic Door Switch

The dryer will stop when the door is opened and will restart when the door is closed, allowing items to be added to or taken from the machine without the need to reset the controls.

Mains Light

This light indicates that there is power being supplied to the dryer when the wall socket is switched on.
