Manual dryers
The Manual dryers have been designed so you can select how long you want the clothes to dry for. So you know exactly when your clothes will be ready.
Using your dryer
1Clean the lint filter before every load.
2 Load the clothes into the dryer.
3 Turning the knob clockwise only, select the desired cycle and drying time.
4 Try to remove the clothes from the dryer as soon as the cycle is completed to help prevent creasing.
Note: the 3.5 kg dryer will stop every 5 – 6 minutes, to allow clothes to redistribute.
Drying cycles
The Manual dryers have two drying cycles designed to take care of all your drying needs.
The REGULAR cycle is for drying more durable fabric or garment types eg cotton, denim. Here the heater remains on until the airing phase of the cycle.
The DELICATE cycle is for drying delicates and synthetics.
Here the heater pulses on and off, so garments are dried at lower temperatures.

Note: the dryers will not dry if the knob is turned
Airing / Cool down
When the Manual dryer has finished drying it will automatically go into a 13 – 15 minute airing or cool down cycle. During airing the drum tumbles and cool air is blown through the clothes. This reduces creasing if the clothes are left in the dryer.
This phase of the drying cycle can be used to air clothes.
