Refer to the Drying guide table or the fabric

labels to select the most suitable programme.

● Open the door and load the drum with

laundry. Ensure that garments do not hinder

closure of the door.

● If drying delicate items press the button

to reduce the heat level. Press again on

completion, to select high temperature.

HIGH heat setting

LOW heat setting

● Turn the 'DRYING TIME' Selector until the

required drying time aligns with the dial.

● The programme provides a conditioning

and anti-crease function. The dryer will heat

the load for 8 minutes followed by a 2

minute cool down period and is especially

good for garments which may have been

left for some time prior to ironing, in a linen

basket for example. Garments may also

become stiffened when dried outside on a

washing line or inside on radiators. This

process relaxes the creases in the fabric

making ironing quicker and easier.

● Gently close the door pushing it slowly until

you hear the door 'click' shut.

● Press the button. The indicator will light

and the drying cycle begins.

● The load is dried by tumbling in

thermostatically controlled warm air. Cool

air is used for the last 15 minutes to

reduce creasing and cool the load ready for

handling.

● When the program is fully completed the

drum will stop rotating and the dial will

point to 0.

● Open the door and remove the load.

● Clean the filter and empty the water

container after every drying cycle to ensure

maximum dryer efficiency.

● Clean the condenser after approximately

every 10 drying cycles to ensure maximum

dryer efficiency.
