GETTING STARTED QUICKLY

●

●

If you make an invalid selection the dryer will beep to alert you. 

●

●

When the cycle finishes, your dryer will beep and then turn off automatically. If the 
‘Wrinkle Free’ option has been selected the machine will rotate the drum periodically 
blowing cool air into the drum to help minimise wrinkling and creasing of your load.

●

●

If you wish to change a cycle or select a different option once a drying cycle has 
started, touch the   button then select the new cycle or option. Touch   to restart the 
dryer with the new cycle and/or settings.

IMPORTANT!

●

●

If you wish to stop the dryer before the cycle has finished you MUST remove the 

clothes IMMEDIATELY and spread them out to cool. DO NOT leave the clothes in the 

dryer or bunched up in a clothes basket. Take extreme care as the drum and the load 

items may be hot. 

●

●

Failure to follow the advice in this guide may result in damage to your garments and 

your expectations of drying performance may not be met.
