Using Your Dryer
9. Stopping Your Dryer
Your SmartLoad™ dryer can be stopped during any stage of the drying process, to allow you to
check on your load or add/remove clothes.
To do this, press
START/PAUSE
. There will be a slight delay as the
drum slows down and stops in the open position (approximately
15 seconds). During the opening sequence, the
LID LOCKED
light will flash , once the drum is stationary the light will be
extinguished, you can then open the lid.
Note: If the cycle is interrupted before it progresses into
COOL DOWN
, parts of the drum may be hot.
To start your dryer again, press
START/PAUSE
.
10. Changing Cycles During Operation
If you wish to change the drying cycle you have chosen after the machine has already begun
drying, press your new cycle selection on the control panel. If the progress lights have begun to
advance through the cycle, you will need to turn the dryer off and start afresh.
11. Fabric Softener Sheets
If you want to use fabric softener sheets, you must ensure that they are labelled “dryer safe”.
Always follow the instructions on the packaging. Do not place them in a dryer with warm
clothes as there is a chance the fabric softener may stain clothes.
Only use a softener sheet once, then discard it.
12. Beeps
At the end of the cycle, the dryer will beep to let you know that the load is finished. The drum
will automatically come to rest in the open position, allowing you to open the lid and remove
your load.
13. Finishing your Cycle Early
Normally SmartLoad™ will advance through the progress lights as it
dries and will switch off once it has completed
COOL DOWN
.
If you wish to finish your drying cycle early you can press
AIR DRY
to
advance it to this
COOL DOWN
mode.
The
COOL DOWN
mode means the elements will switch off and
the clothes are tumbled without heat. When SmartLoad™ senses the clothes are cool it will
automatically shutdown (this takes 2-10 minutes depending on the size of your load).
Note:
The
COOL DOWN
mode is only activated if your dryer has progressed past the ‘
DRYING
’
progress light. If the ‘
DRYING
’ progress light is still glowing and you press
AIR DRY
your dryer will
switch to the
AIR DRY
cycle and will dry for 80 minutes (the default
AIR DRY
setting). You can
stop your dryer at any stage by pressing
START/PAUSE
.
