Which
program
to
use
The
program
to
be
used
depends
on
what
is
to
be
done
with
the
washing
after
tumble-drying.
Two
automatic
programs
are
provided:
“Extra
Dry”
and
“Dry
If
washing
is
not
to
be
dried
completely,
ie.
because
it
is
to
be
ironed,
it
is
a
good
idea
to
use
the
time
program
instead.
Either
of
the
_
operating
temperatures
(Low
or
Normal)
is
available
with
either
of
the
automatic
programs
or
with
the
time
program.
When you want
dry fabrics:
2) Dry
This program turns off the heat
when the washing is dry but not
absolutely bone-dry. It is then
cooled for about 15 minutes. This
is the program to use when you
want dry fabrics.
1) Extra dry
This automatic program is intended
for use with washing that is ex-
tremely difficult to dry, i.e. jeans
with very thick seams. The heat
is turned off when the washing is
completely dry, and is followed
by a cooling period of about
15 minutes.
If washing is not dry
after tumble-drying
When using the automatic pro-
grams, it can happen that not all of
the washing is properly dry. This
may be due to such reasons as
very heavy fabrics or thick seams.
To dry these items, give them a
further period of drying in the
timed program for about 10
minutes. Also, do not overload the
dryer. If a dryer is overloaded, its
efficiency is lessened and clothes
may not dry evenly.
4
When you want
to iron:
3) Timed program
The timed program can be set for
any desired heating time up to one
hour. At the end of the preset time,
the washing is cooled for
about a further 15 minutes.
Permanent press hints
For the most wrinkle free perma-
nent press drying, only dry one
half load at a time to assure
enough room for items to tumble
freely. Do not combine perma-
nent press items with other very
heavy clothes in the dryer.
Remove clothes immediately
after the drying cycle is complete
and either hang them up or lay
them flat.
Do not over-dry
When using the timed program, it
is possible to over-dry fabrics, if —
too
long
a
time
has
been
set.
This
can cause the fabrics to wrinkle,
shrink, or feel harsh. Synthetic
materials can also become charged
with static electricity.
Turn the program
knob clockwise to
the required pro-
gram. A program
can be stopped at
any time by turn-
ing the knob to
the O position
When you want
to air fabrics:
4) Airing program,
cold
This program cannot be combined
with heating. It is used to shake
the dust out of garments, air them
or soften them up.
Dryer added fabric softeners
Because some dryer added fabric
softeners may cause damage to
automatic dryers, use only one
that the manufactures give a
written assurance that their
softener can safely be used in
your dryer.
Single items
Use the timed program when there
is only one item to be dried. This
is because the automatic program
may turn off the heating too early,
so that the item is not properly
dried.

‘Cleaning
the lint filter
The lint filter must be cleaned after
each time the machine has been
used. If this is not done, drying
performance will suffer, as insuffi-
cient air will pass through the drum.
The machine may also overheat: this
will cause it to stop automatically.
Clean the filter as follows:
@ Grasp the filter holder by the two
holes near the center and pull it
off the peg on which it is
supported in the front door.
®© Take the filter out of the holder
and brush away the lint in it by
hand.
NOTE: Wear and tear of fabrics in a
tumble dryer is insignificant.
The lint caught in the lint
filter is dust and fiber
residue that has been
formed when the garments
have been used.
© Replace the filter in the holder
and refit the holder in position on
the peg in the door.
Other user service
About once a year, remove the
flexible exhaust air hose and clean it
and the outlet from the machine.

How the dryer works
®© Air is drawn in from the
room through the bottom of
the machine.
@ An electric heater heats the
- air passing into the drum.
@ Warm air enters the drum
through holes in the back
and dries the washing. The
drum rotates, and the two
paddles prevent garments
from becoming tangled.
@ The air passes through the
lint filter at the front of the
drum and enters the fan.
Air is forced out through the
outlet you have selected
through a fixed duct (see
page 11).
The temperature remains at
approximately 40°C (104°F) as
long as the clothes are moist.
When the clothes dry, the
temperature rises and the heater
element is automatically switch-
ed off at the preset temperature.
The air that is not heated is
then drawn through the drum
and cools the clothes for about
15 minutes.
The thermostats which switch
off the heating at normal and
low temperature (60°C (140°F)
Safety
- The dryer must not be used to
dry fabrics which may contain
residues of flammable liquids.
The dryer door has a magnetic
lock, which means that it can
be opened from the inside. A
door switch automatically stops
the dryer if the door is opened.

thermostats next to the heater
element. One switches off the
heater element if the tempera-
ture becomes too high and the
other switches off the complete
tumble dryer if a fault occurs.
closed, i.e. if a child should get
into the drum and close the
door from the inside. In order to
restart the machine, the Start
pushbutton must be pressed.
The machine is protected by a
thermostat fitted by the heating
element, which turns the
machine off if the temperature is
too high.
This overheating protection,
which is fitted at the rear of the
machine, can be reset when the
temperature has fallen. Refer to
the section entitled ‘‘If the
machine does not work” (pg. 5).
Energy saving hints

Drying times
Please note: A trip charge will have to

circumstances:
1. If the fault is not with the machine.
2. If a demonstration is required.

have not been complied with re-
sulting in the following: an un-

cosmetic damage, excessive water

and energy consumption
Drying times
Drying time depends on many
factors, such as the amount of
washing, moisture content, type of
fabric, incoming air temperature
and humidity. Performance can also
be affected by how the machine
has been installed.
Drying time is also naturally affected
by how dry the washing is to be
when removed from the machine.
Drying times and
energy consumption
The table on the right shows drying
times and energy consumption in
accordance wich the following
conditons:
e Program 2 has been used (the
normal, ‘Dry’ automatic program).
e Drying temperature: Normal.
è Fabrics dried are of cotton,
previously spun at 800 r/min.
e The dryer is in a room with a
temperature of 20°C (68°F), and
the exhaust hose supplied with
the machine is in use.

B Built in
The dryer can be built in beneath a
countertop with a height of 33 1/2
- 35 1/2”. At least 23 5/8” width
is needed. Space must also be
available for the exhaust hose on
the left, right or rear of the
machine. See the diagram for hole
sizes and positions.
How much air does the dryer
need?
The dryer needs about 196 cubic yds.
of fresh air per hour. The room in
which it is installed must therefore
have a sufficient air change rate to
ensure that the machine receives
enough fresh air.
