Drying
8
Important information:
!
To improve the life expectancy of your machine,
it is recommended that you do not stop or cancel
your programme during the drying cycle.
!
It is recommended that you allow the programme to
complete its full cycle, which includes completing the
‘cool tumble’ (
see below
).
!
A 20 minute ‘cool tumble’ is included at the end
of drying, allowing fabrics to cool down, minimising
creasing - The load may still be warm when
removed from the machine.
!
If your machine is not permanently plumbed in, turn
on the cold water supply and hook the drain hose
over the sink to enable the condensing action to
work.
!
The dryer is intended for use only where water is
used for the cleaning process.
!
Be careful not to touch the drum at the top as this
area does get hot during drying.
!
On no account should liquid fabric conditioner be
added during the drying process.
!
Misuse of the dryer may create a fire hazard.
!
Select HIGH heat by pressing the Drying High
Heat option button. If this option is not selected
the programme will automatically default to LOW
heat.
!
A spin cycle may be carried out during the
drying programme.
!
Your machine is fitted with a revolutionary self-
clean filter, which will flush with water during
drying - therefore you may hear water entering the
machine during the drying cycle.
!
The Drying Times dial DOES NOT rotate - Return
the dial to the ‘Off’ position at the end of each
drying cycle.

●
It is recommended that you separate your drying loads into similar fabric types,
as this will increase the drying efficiency.
Drycare tips
Items not suitable for tumble drying:
●
Garments with the ITCL code - DO NOT
TUMBLE DRY.
●
Woollens.
●
Large, bulky items eg. quilts, bedspreads,
pillows etc... expand when dry, preventing air
flow through the appliance.

rubber like materials eg. pillows, cushions, PVC
rainwear or inflammable articles which contain
inflammable substances eg. towels contaminated
