OPERATING YOUR DRYER
Your dryer is rated to 7kg of dry clothing. Loads must not exceed this rated capacity.
Important! Always check your clothing’s care label information to ensure they are suitable for use within dryers.
Excessive drying is one of the most damaging things we do to our laundry. International drying symbols (Figure 2 below)
help you select a dryer cycle and a temperature.
Figure 2- International drying symbols used on your clothing care labels.
• If the care label has a circle inside a square, your item can be tumble dried.
• The more dots on the iron symbol suggests the temperature of heat that can be applied:
• 1 dot = low temperature
• 2 dots = medium temperature
• 3 dots = high temperature
• If there is a cross over the tumble dry symbol, you should not tumble dry the item. It’s recommended for air-drying
only.
Some guidelines for various fabric types:
• Permanent press and synthetics - take out as soon as the dryer stops to reduce wrinkles.
• Woollen articles - not recommended. Pull them to their original shape, then dry them flat. Vented dryers can shrink
woollen articles.
• Woven and loop knit materials - may shrink, by varying amount, depending on their quality. Do not use the “Extra”
Dryness setting for these fabrics, Always stretch them out immediately after drying.
• Fibre or leather materials - always check the manufacturer’s instructions.
• Baby clothes and night gowns - acrylic clothing or sleepwear use only on the “Light” Dryness setting.
• Rubber and plastics - Do not dry any items made from or containing rubber or plastics, such as aprons, bibs, babies’
water proof napkins, curtains, tablecloths, shower caps, clothes fitted with foam rubber pads, pillows, galoshes, or
rubber coated tennis shoes.
• Fibreglass - not recommended, glass particles left in the dryer could be picked up by your clothes the next time you
use the dryer and irritate your skin.
Caution!
Fabric softeners or similar products should not be used in a tumble dryer to eliminate the effects of static
electricity unless this practice is specifically recommended by the manufacturer of the fabric softener or product.
Note We strongly advise against the use of fabric conditioners of the sheet type that are added to the clothes in the
drum. These products may lead to rapid blockage of the lint filter and inefficient operation of your dryer.
UNPACKING
During transportation, protective packaging was used to protect the appliance against any damage. After unpacking,
please dispose of all elements of packaging in a way that will not cause damage to the environment. All materials used
for packaging the appliance are environmentally friendly; they are 100% recyclable and are marked with the appropriate
symbol. Check with your local council on which packaging elements can be recycled kerbside and which may need to
be disposed of at your local recycling drop off centre.
Tip!
Soft plastics can be recycled at most major grocery retailers. Polystyrene (EPS) foam may not be accepted by your
local council for recycling- check http://epsa.org.au/ for details of your local EPS recycler.
Caution!
During unpacking, the packaging materials (polythene bags, polystyrene pieces, etc.) should be kept out of
