Grounding Instructions
Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor
can result in a risk of electric shock, Check with a qualified
electrician or service representative or personnel if you are
in doubt as to whether the appliance is properly grounded!
In the event of malfunction or breakdown, grounding will reduce the
risk of electric shock by providing a path of least resistance for electric
current. This appliance is equipped with a cord having an equipment-
grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged
into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in
accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
DO NOT modify the plug provided with the appliance. If it will not fit
the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician or
exchange the cord with an appropriate one rated for the dryer.
REFER TO THE RATING PLATE FOR VOLTAGE AND CURRENT
REQUIREMENTS (see diagram for location.)
The dryer should be connected to the power source via a suitable
socket which is accessible after installing your dryer.
This dryer must be connected to 30A INDIVIDUAL BRANCH
CIRCUIT.

By opening the door you can check the dryness of the load as often
as you wish and if you want, to remove some items before they are
fully dry. (This is particularly useful for a mixed load where you want
to iron some items, but others are to be fully dried.) You will need
to press the START button after closing the door to re-start the
program. See 'The Controls' section.

phase
This light will come on whenever a program is active (running).
If this light flashes it means that an automatic programme has
exceeded 180 minutes. For safety reasons this being the maximum
drying time available.
Should this occur, the causes may be:
• The load is too big, or bulky.
• The filter is blocked.
• A cotton load was spun at LOW speed.
• There may be a fault.
Turn the dryer Off, check through the first three causes, and then try
again.
This light comes on during the drying part of the program, except for
the short periods during the drum reverse action.
This light comes on to indicate that the dryer is running on the low
heat setting.
About 10 minutes before the program is completed, the heating
elements will be turned off and the program enters the final 'Air Fluff'
phase. During this phase, the fabric is cooled. You should always
allow the dryer to complete this phase.
By opening the door, you can check the dryness of the load as often
as you wish and if you want, remove some items before they are fully
dry. (This is particularly useful for a mixed load where you want to iron
some items, but others to be fully dried.)
You will need to press the START button after closing the door to
re-start the program. See previous page.
At the end of the drying program it may not be convenient to take out
the clothes immediately. Do not worry, the dryer will protect your
clothes from creasing by gently turning them over occasionally with a
few revolutions of the drum. At the same time a warning buzzer will
sound intermittently to remind you that the clothes are ready to take
out.
