Drying

Important information

Operating the machine

!To improve the life expectancy of your machine, it is recommended that you do not stop or cancel your programme during the drying cycle.

!It is recommended that you allow the programme to complete its full cycle, which includes completing the ‘cool tumble’.

!A 20 minute ‘cool tumble’ is included at the end of drying, allowing fabrics to cool down, minimising creasing - The load may still be warm when removed from the machine.

!If your machine is not permanently plumbed in, turn on the cold water supply and hook the drain hose over the sink to enable the condensing action to work.

!The dryer is intended for use only where water is used for the cleaning process.

!Be careful not to touch the drum at the top, as this area does get hot during drying.

!On no account should liquid fabric conditioner be added during the drying process.

!Misuse of the dryer may create a fire hazard.

!Select HIGH heat by pressing the ‘Drying High Heat’ option button ( will show in Display, Aquarius+ only). If this option is not selected the programme will automatically default to low heat ( will show in Display, Aquarius+ only).

!A spin cycle may be carried out during the drying programme.

!Your machine is fitted with a revolutionary self-clean filter, which will flush with water during drying - therefore you may hear water entering the machine during the drying cycle.

!The Drying Times dial (Aquarius only) DOES NOT rotate - Return the dial to the ‘Off’ position at the end of each drying cycle.
