Useful Hints
Never tumble dry the following : Delicate items such as net
curtains, woollen, silk, fabric with metal trim, nylon tights,
bulky materials such as anoraks, blankets, eiderdown, sleep-
ing bags, feather quilts and any item containing rubber
foam or materials similar to foam rubber.
Do not place in your dryer undergarments such as bras and
corsets that contain metal reinforcements. Your dryer may
be damaged if metal parts were to come loose from the
garment . Place such items in a bag designed for this
purpose.
Check and empty pockets. Clips, pens, nails and pins can
damage both the dryer and your clothes. Other items such
as matches or cigarette lighters will cause a fire.
Close all press studs, hooks, eyes and zips that may catch
on something else. Tie all belts and apron strings to pre-
vent tangling.
Drying time will depend on fabric type and construction,
load size and wetness. Save time and money and always
spin the load as dry as possible in your washing machine.
Drying time will also be affected by voltage fluctuations,
room temperature and humidity. Clothes will dry more
slowly n a cool or humid day.
For best results, sort the load according to fabric types.
Such as heavy items which may take longer to dry, eg
towels, flannelette sheets etc, than ones which dry quickly,
eg poly/cotton shirts and sheets.
Avoid drying dark clothes with light coloured items such
as towels as lint will show on the dark clothes.
If individual items are still damp after drying , set a 30
minute post drying time. This will be necessary particu-
larly for multilayered items (eg collars, pockets, etc) .
Always clean the lint filter - this will reduce drying time
and save you money.
Load your dryer loosely until it is no more than TWO
THIRDS FULL. Clothes must tumble freely in a dryer.
Don't cram them in . Wet clothes fluff up when dry.
Overloading will:
Reduce efficiency
Increase drying time
Increase the risk of creasing
Do not load clothes or other articles which are dripping
wet into your dryer.
Select one of the two (2) temperature settings.
Select the drying time.
Only turn the control knob clockwise.
Switch On
The dryer will not operate unless the safety button on the
door is fully pressed in.
Clean Lint Filter
After every load clean the lint filter located at the front of
your dryer to reduce drying times and avoid overheating.
STANDARD FEATURES
Reversing Action
The drum is designed to turn one minute in each direction,
clockwise and anti-clockwise. This reduces tangling and
gives more even drying in a shorter time.
Cooling Down
At the end of the drying cycle, there is automatically a
time of no heat, to cool down the load and minimise
creasing.
Note: Some fabrics will collect lint from other clothes and items.
Separate the lint 'givers' and the lint 'collectors' to minimise this
problem.
Clothes that give lint include towels, nappies, chenille.
Clothes that collect lint include corduroy, synthetics and per-
manent press garments.

'Warm' for delicate items which can shrink, such as
synthetics, underwear, etc.
'Hot' for heavy, durable items such as towels and
flannelette sheets.
