Dry-Soft® RD-400/600AU Operation Manual
FEATURES AND BENEFITS
1.
Quick Drying
- The range of Rinnai gas clothes dryers utilise gas as the drying medium rather
than electricity. This results in a considerable reduction in drying time when compared to most
electric clothes dryers.
2.
Economical
- The range of Rinnai gas clothes dryers are highly efficient. In addition, they utilise
gas rather than electricity as the drying medium. Depending on the gas type used considerable
running costs savings are possible when compared to electric clothes dryers.
3.
Soft Clothes
- Using gas as the drying medium results in clothes that feel softer when compared
to electric clothes dryers.
4.
Automatic Operation
- Dryer stops automatically when drying is completed. This eliminates the
need by the user to guess how long drying might take.
5.
Time remaining indicator
- Indicates the remaining time for completion of drying.
6.
Exhaust Duct
- The exhaust duct vents to outside. This prevents the discharge of moist air, dust
and lint into the room containing the clothes dryer.
OPERATION
GENERAL INFORMATION
• Do not exceed the maximum drying load:
- The Maximum load for the Dry-Soft® 4 (Model RD-400AU) is 4 kg.
- The Maximum load for the Dry-Soft® 6 (Model RD-600AU) is 6 kg.
Exceeding the maximum drying load may result in uneven drying or appliance malfunction.
• Ensure clothes have been spin dried by a washing machine before placing into the gas clothes
dryer. Wet clothes may damage the dryer and will take excessively long to dry.
• Ensure washing detergents, bleaches and fabric softeners have been fully rinsed from clothes
before placing them into the gas clothes dryer. These substances may damage internal dryer
components.
• It is preferable that the space in which the gas clothes dryer is installed is well ventilated. This can
be achieved by opening a window during use.
FABRIC CARE AND DRYING HINTS
Read the fabric care label attached to most clothes to confirm if they are suitable for tumble drying
and, if so, select the drying cycle recommended by the manufacturer. In the absence of manufacturer
recommendations Rinnai suggests the following:
•
Use the 'GENERAL' cycle for items such as towels, shirts and underwear.
•
Use the 'DELICATE' drying cycle for frayed or synthetic items (such as nylon stockings) or thin
fabrics. It is recommended that these items are placed in a laundry bag for protection during
drying.
•
Use the 'THICK’ drying cycle for items such as jeans, sweatshirts or heavier winter clothes.
•
If thick items are mixed with thin items, select the 'THICK' drying cycle.
•
The volume of clothes in the dryer should be limited to approximately 70% of the actual drum
volume to maintain drying efficiency. If the volume of clothes exceeds 70% drying efficiency will
be reduced.
•
Lint producing items (such as towels) should be dried separately to prevent the lint catching onto
other items during drying.
•
For items with zippers, close the zippers and dry inside out to prevent damage to the dryer
components. The same applies to items with metallic buttons.
