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’ phase. 

!

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.

Auto and Timed Drying programmes

Independent drying only programme:

1. Remove the wet laundry and in drum dosing ball 

(if used) until the correct ‘Drying Weight Load’ 
(

Close the door until it clicks shut.

2. Turn the programme selector dial to drying 

programme M (

see Programmes

).

3. Select HIGH HEAT if drying cottons by pressing 

the Drying High Heat option button: the 
corresponding light will show selection.

4. Set the required drying time or autodry option (

).

5. When all selections have been made press the 

Start/Cancel button. The door will lock.

6. A short time after the programme has finished the

Two drying options are available:

Auto Drying programme ‘Sensor Dry’:

When selected the machine will automatically 
sense when the laundry is dry and switch off.
- Press the Drying Times button ‘Auto’ will 
appear in the display.

Timed Drying programmes:

Where you can select the length of the drying 
time suitable for your load.
- Press the Drying Times button twice and ‘3’ 
will appear in the display, indicating 3 hours 
drying time.
- Each subsequent press of the Drying Times 
button will reduce the drying time shown in the 
display in 30 minute increments until ‘1’ (1 hour)
is displayed.
- Pressing the Drying Times button again after 
‘1’ is displayed cancels the drying programme, 
‘Off’ will appear in the display, no drying 
programme is selected. 

!

Remember, with both the Auto ‘Sensor Dry’ and

the ‘Timed Drying’ programmes the Drying High
Heat button needs to be selected if drying non-
delicate loads (eg. Cottons).

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. 

Items containing plastic film, foam rubber or 
rubber like materials eg. pillows, cushions, PVC 
rainwear or inflammable articles which contain 
inflammable substances eg. towels contaminated
with hair lacquer. 

Fibreglass (eg. some types of curtains). 

Items which have been dry cleaned.
