To operate the dryer, close the door and turn the timer control from the
zero position in a clockwise direction slightly past the required drying
time, then back to set the exact time.
The timer can be set to any time up to 120 minutes and can be reset at
any time as required to increase or reduce the time to dry.
The time indicated on the timer includes approximately 10 minutes of
tumble with the heat off. Note that the dryer must never be turned off
leaving the clothes in the drum without first completing the heat off
cool-down period.
To operate the dryer, close the door and turn the timer control to the
required time. The timer can be set to any time up to 120 minutes and
can be reset at any time as required to increase or reduce the time to dry,
but in doing so the timer knob must only be turned clockwise. Turning
the timer backwards will cause damage and it must therefore be turned
clockwise even to reach “off” position. The timer is electrically driven and
will therefore only advance when there is power supplied to the dryer
and the door is closed. The time indicated on the timer includes approxi-
mately 10 minutes of tumble with the heat off. Note that the dryer
should never be turned off leaving the clothes in the drum without
first completing the heat off cool-down period.
Low / Gentle heat is obtained with the switch OUT and should be used to
dry acrylics and acrylic mixtures (excluding wool mixtures). High heat is
obtained by pressing the switch IN, and should be used to dry other
materials (excluding wool and wool mixtures). For instructions
concerning wool see page 4.
Whenever the door is opened and there is power supplied to the
machine, the light marked ‘filter care’ will come on. This light advises the
user to check that the filter is clear of fluff. It does not necessarily mean
that the filter is blocked or that there is anything wrong with the
machine. The light will go out when the door is closed.
This dryer has an energy saving feature which reduces wastage of
electricity when drying times are over-set.
If High heat is selected a thermostat will reduce the heat input when the
temperature in the drum reaches a predetermined level. The heater stays
on reduced heat until the dryer enters the cool run period, thus saving
energy if the timer has been over set.
The dryer will stop when the door is opened and will restart when the
door is closed, allowing items to be added to or taken from the machine
without the need to reset the controls.
When the load is dry, the select cool light is illuminated to advise you to
advance the timer to cool tumble period. This avoids unnecessary
wastage of electricity due to overdrying of the load.
When the select cool light is on, the heat is reduced by half, to further
reduce energy wastage. This facility only operates when high heat is
selected.
For loads of less than 1kg, the select cool light may operate before the
load is dry. Check the dryness of the load before advancing to cool when
drying small loads.
