Setting the Timer and starting the Dryer
To set the required programme, all you have to do is turn the Timer
Control clockwise until the required selection appears in line with the
indicator. Never wind the Timer Control anti-clockwise. This
operation also starts the dryer, provided the door is closed, machine
is plugged in and the Delay Timer control is set to zero.
Turn the Timer clockwise to select the required drying time
1. Automatic Drying average loads ✻
2. Automatic Drying, large loads
✽
3. Timed drying (up to 70 minutes)
4. Airing - Cool Tumble.
The Auto drying programmes will automatically dry most loads to the
fully dry ready to wear condition. This eliminates the need to guess
the drying times and saves energy.
To select Auto drying turn the selector to position
✻ for average loads
and
✽
for large loads and ensure that the heat selector switch is set
to high heat and the airing option is not selected. When the door is
closed the Auto Dry light will glow to indicate that Auto drying
programme is running. When the load is dry, the selector will
automatically advance to the cool tumble phase.
✻ Auto drying average loads 1 to 3kg cottons, Polycottons or
synthetics (Dry Weight).
✽
Auto drying large loads 3 to 5kg Cottons (Dry Weight)
Note: •If LOW heat is selected for an Auto drying
programme, the dryer will advance to COOL without
drying the load.
• For acrylics and acrylic mixtures, select LOW heat
and use timed drying.
• Small loads (Less than 1kg) must be dried using
the timed drying programme.
To set the required time, all you have to do is turn the Timer Control
clockwise until the required time appears in line with the indicator.
The chart in the section “Guide to Drying Times” will tell you how
much time you’ll need for various loads.
This programme is particularly useful in cases where a damp load is
required for ironing or LOW heat drying is required and also for small
loads.
Once the required programme is selected the Timer Control will start
to rotate slowly towards the ‘O’ (OFF) position.
Approximately 8 to 10 minutes before the drying programme is
completed, the heating elements will be switched off, and the
programme enters the final ‘Cool Tumble’ phase. During this phase
the fabric is cooled. You should always allow the dryer to complete
this phase, unless you intend to immediately iron the load. This will
minimise creasing.
By opening the door, you can check the dryness of the load as often
as you wish and if you want to remove some items before they are
fully dry. (This is particularly useful for a mixed load where you want
to iron some items, but others are to be fully dried).
