AUTOMATIC DRYING - Fitted to some models only
To work correctly High Heat has to be enabled and between 3 kg to 6 kg of Cottons dried. If smaller
or delicate loads are dried using the automatic setting, erratic results will be achieved.
Automatic Drying Explanation
NOTE: -
The heat switch must be set to the high position otherwise there will be no circuit to the timer
motor or heater when the exhaust thermostat signals that the clothes are dry.
Sequence of Automatic Drying System
•
First 20 minutes, full heat controlled by the timer. This is to pre-heat the clothes and drum before
the exhaust thermostats take control.
•
The timer moves to its next cam position. The timer motor is now disconnected and the dryer
tumbles and heats.
•
When the clothes are dry, the exhaust thermostat opens. This provides a Live supply to the timer
motor. The timer moves to the next cam position.
•
5 minutes of tumbling with the lower element only. The timer moves to the next cam position.
•
Finally 7.5 minutes of tumble with no heat.
