Features - Get to know the main parts of your dryer

Where to put and vent your dryer

Your tumble dryer should NOT be located adjacent to a gas hob,

cooker, heater, or eye level grill as flames from the burners could

cause damage to your machine.

The dryer should be placed where air can freely circulate around

it, preferably near a window that can be opened to reduce the

possibility of condensation occuring while the dryer is in use.

When operating the dryer, there has to be adequate ventilation to

avoid the back flow of gases into the room from appliances

burning other fuels, including open fires.

A vent hose is recommended for optimum performance.

DO NOT operate the dryer in an enclosed environment,

ensure the dryer is adequately ventilated.

If the dryer is enclosed or fitted under a work surface, a gap

of at least 50mm (2") must be allowed above the top across

the full width of the dryer and at least 25mm (1") either side.

This allows air to enter into the rear air inlet. The dryer must

NEVER be run in a cupboard with a closed door.

We do not recommend that the dryer is installed in a cupboard

but the dryer must never be installed behind a lockable door,

a sliding door or a door with a hinge on the opposite side to

that of the dryer door.

DO NOT allow clothes, towels etc., to hang down the front of

the dryer into the airstream. This obstructs the airflow and

may damage the dryer.

Ensure that the end of the hose is not directed towards the

air intake grille at the rear of the dryer.

NOTE: The vent hose should not exceed 2.4 metres in length,

and should be kept free of any possible accumulation of fluff

lint (and water) by frequently shaking it out. Always ensure

that the hose is not squashed.

IS USED FOR EXHAUSTING FUMES FROM OTHER

APPLIANCES BURNING GAS OR OTHER FUELS.

How to use your dryer

1. Plug in, switch

on electricity.

2. Sort your laundry

(see section “Sorting

Your Laundry”)

3. Open the door.

Check that the fluff

filter is clean (see

section How to

remove and clean

the fluff filter).

4. Load the dryer

placing the

clothes carefully in

the drum, pushing

them well towards

the back and

away from the

door seal. Close

the door.

5. Select the

relevant heat setting

(see section “Sorting

your Laundry”).

Push IN for high heat, for cottons, linens and

synthetics.

Low setting - button OUT for acrylics and

acrylic mixtures.

6. Turn the Timer clock-

wise to select the

required drying time.

(See Section “The

Controls”.)

The dryer will start

Never switch the dryer off with a hot load in the drum.

You must terminate every programme with the Cool Tumble Phase.

8. Switch off electricity

and remove plug from

socket.

Sorting your laundry

1. Always separate laundry into the correct fabric groups before

washing and drying.

2. See that all zips are closed, hooks and eyes are fastened and

belt, strings etc. are tied loosely in bows, you will normally have

done this for each item before the washing stage.

3. It is important to extract as much water as possible from each

item before drying. This saves you time and money.

4. Make sure that the items to be dried are suitable for tumble

drying, or are not of a type requiring ‘special attention’ (see “Wash

Care Labels” section).

Your dryer will hold a load of 3kg (6.6lb) dry weight of natural fabrics.

if you are drying items of man-made fibres (synthetic or acrylics), the

maximum load should not exceed 2kg (4.4lb) dry weight.

This difference is that man-made fibres require more space to

tumble-dry without creasing.

To help you estimate how many items it takes to make up a drying

load, the charts below show the approximate weights of some

everyday washing items.

If you group small cotton or terry-towelling items with a synthetic

fabric load they could be damp at the end of the drying cycle. If this

happens simply give them an additional short period of drying to

finish them off.

Wash Care Labels

Most of today’s fabrics can be tumble dried in your Dryer with no

trouble at all, but there are certain fabric finishes which should be

dried away from direct heat.

The majority of garments now have wash-care labels on them, giving

full washing and drying instructions. These should always be followed

carefully especially when you are drying something for the first time.

Typical symbols are:

May be tumble dried

Do not tumble dry

Or:

Tumble dry at high heat setting

Tumble dry at low heat setting

• Those containing foam rubber or rubber-like materials or plastic

film (e.g. pillows, cushions, PVC rainwear), or any other articles

which are inflammable or contain inflammable substances (e.g.

towels contaminated with hair lacquer

• Fibreglass (e.g. some types of curtains)

• Items which have been dry cleaned

• Woollens. Woollen items need as much care in drying as they do

in washing. The movement of the tumble-drying action causes the

woollen fibre to shrink and distort.

• Garments with the ITCL Code (see ‘Items Requiring Special

Attention’).

Do not tumble dry.

• Large bulky items e.g. continental quilts, sleeping bags, pillows,

cushions, double blankets and large bedspreads. These expand

when drying and would prevent airflow through the Dryer.

WARNING: THE DRYER IS INTENDED FOR USE ONLY

WHERE WATER SOLUTION IS USED FOR THE CLEANING

PROCESS. MISUSE OF A TUMBLE DRYER MAY CREATE A

FIRE HAZARD.

Items not suitable for tumble drying

Items requiring special attention

The drying requirements of blankets and bedspreads will, of course,

vary tremendously according to size and weight. Some, however are

simply too big. if you have difficulty getting them into the Dryer, the

machine will have difficulty drying them properly. Blankets (and

Garments) made from Acrylic fibres (e.g. Acilan, Courtelle, Orion and

Dralon) must be dried with special care on Low heat setting.

Overdrying should be avoided to ensure heat creasing does not

occur.

Your dryer will cope with such clothes very well, but you should

always read the manufacturer’s drying instructions attached to the

garment before you begin.

Starched articles should be dried together in the same load to avoid

the distribution of starch to non-starched items. You should use a

slightly heavier starch solution than you would when drying the items

on the washing line. Make sure that as much of the solution is

removed from the load as possible before placing it in the Dryer.

Remove the items from the dryer as soon as they reach ironing

dampness. If they are overdried the starch will powder, leaving the

fabric limp - which rather defeats the purpose of the exercise!

To make sure all your tumble dried clothes come out really fresh and

soft we recommend you use a liquid fabric conditioner in the final

rinse of your wash. A liquid fabric conditioner restores bounce and

softness and helps eliminate static cling.

Garments with the ITCL Code may be cleaned using one of the

Home Dry Cleaning Kits available.

The instructions supplied with the Home Dry Cleaning Kit must be

strictly followed.
