The sensor may not detect a small load of

small articles. For small loads and separate items

or pre-dried fabrics with low moisture content,

use the timed programmes. Set the programme

between 30 and 75 minutes depending on the

load size and dryness required, and select high or

low heat depending upon the fabric type.

If the sensor does not detect the item the dryer

will only operate for 10 minutes before going

into cooldown.

If the load is too large or too wet to tumble dry

the dryer will automatically go into cooldown

after 180 minutes.

Select the degree of dryness that you require.

This ranges from Bone Dry for bath towels and

bathrobes, through Cupboard Dry for items that

will be put away without ironing, to the

programmes that leave the laundry suitable for

ironing.

The Fast Iron programme provides a conditioning

and anticrease function. The dryer will heat the

load for 9 minutes followed by a 3 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. The Fast Iron

process relaxes the creases in the fabric making

ironing quicker and easier.

The light above the push button will light

up when the machine is in low heat setting.

To deselect this status the machine must be

reset.

66..

Press the START X button. The dryer will

start automatically and the START indicator

will be continuously lit.

77..

The COUNTDOWN display will show the

drying progress in terms of time remaining.

88..

to check the laundry, it is necessary to press

START X to recommence drying after the

door has been closed.

99..
