DRY:SOON WALL MOUNTED HEATED AIRER
Thank you for choosing the Dry:Soon Wall Mounted Heated Airer.
Please take a little time to read this booklet before you use your airer and keep it in a
safe place for future reference.
Our space-saving Heated Airer means you can dry your washing quickly and easily no
matter what the weather. It folds flat against the wall so it’s perfect for small spaces.
It’s cheaper than costly tumble-drying and better than muffling the heat from your
radiators by laying clothes over them.
An award winning family-owned business, here at Lakeland we still have the same
values of excellent quality, value for money and exceptional customer care as we did
when we first set up the company in the 1960s.
Our products are carefully selected and rigorously tested to meet our high standards,
so you can be assured that any product you purchase will be easy-to-use and highly
durable.

• Always ensure that your hands are dry before removing the plug from the mains socket.
Never pull the plug out of the mains socket by its lead or carry the airer by its lead. Do not
allow the lead to be compressed or curled, or touch sharp edges.
• Do not connect this appliance to an external timer or remote control system.
• An extension cable may be used with care. The electrical rating of the cable should be at least
as great as the appliance. Do not allow the cable to hang over the edge of the worktop or
touch any hot surfaces.
• This appliance complies with the basic requirements of Directives 04/108/EC (Electromagnetic
Compatibility) and 06/95/EC (Safety of Domestic Electrical Appliances).
• WARNING; a cut off plug inserted into a socket is a serious safety (shock) hazard.
Ensure the cut off plug is disposed of safely.
• CAUTION; the plastic bags used to wrap this appliance or the packaging may be
dangerous. To avoid risk of suffocation, keep these bags out of reach of babies
and children. These bags are not toys.
• Keep the airer plug and lead at least 1.5 metres away from hot ovens, electric and gas
burners, flames, hot surfaces and water sources.
• Always switch off and unplug the Wall Mounted Heated Airer after use, leaving it to cool
down completely before folding it up against the wall. Do not wind the power cord around
the Airer.
• Ensure the airer is securely mounted to the wall before use. Only mount the airer on a dry,
level, heat resistant surface.
• Fully fold out the airer horizontally before loading it with laundry and switching it on.
• When opening and closing the airer, never use force. The mechanism should move freely
and easily. Keep fingers away from the folding parts.
• Do not overload the airer. The maximum load of the airer is 12kg. Only load laundry onto
the heated bars, and only when the airer is fully folded down horizontally.
• WARNING: When mounting your airer, do not drill holes into the wall directly
above or below; or directly to the left or right of a plug socket or light switch.
These areas contain live electric cables, drilling into these can cause severe electric
shock. Using a cable detector can help you detect live wires and avoid the risk of
an electric shock.

HOW TO MOUNT THE AIRER TO YOUR WALL
Carefully unpack the airer and accompanying parts, and remove all the packaging materials.
Lay all the parts out in front of you.
When choosing where to mount your airer, select a space which gives plenty of room for the
airer to be fully folded up flat against the wall, and fully folded down horizontally for airing
your clothes.
1) Hold the stencil against the wall in the space you have chosen for your airer.
You can either hold the stencil flat against the wall and mark the position of the holes with
a pencil, remove the stencil and drill; or use low tack tape to secure the stencil against the
wall and drill through it, then remove. Ensure the tape will not mark your wall first.
2) Drill and plug the four holes using the four wall plugs provided.

WARNING: When mounting your airer, do not drill holes into the wall directly above
or below; or directly to the left or right of a plug socket or light switch. These areas
contain live electric cables, drilling into these can cause severe electric shock. Using a
cable detector can help you detect live wires and avoid the risk of an electric shock.

3) The wall mounts need to be screwed into the
wall plugs with the small hole at the bottom
and the hooks facing upwards.
Screw the wall mounts onto the wall using the four wall screws.
WARNING: It is important that the wall mounts are screwed into the correct position
you have marked onto your wall. You can double check by measuring the distance
between the marks, using the measurements above.
4) Take the main unit with the heated bars folded upwards. Slot the two holes underneath the
side bars onto the two hooks on the wall mounts.

5) Take the two small fixing screws and screw them through the main unit and into the wall
mount to secure the airer into place.
WARNING: The airer is not yet fixed securely into place so you may need another
person to hold the main unit safely while you screw the fixing screws.
