Start and Programmes
Choosing a programme
1. Plug the dryer into the electrical socket.
2. Sort your laundry according to fabric type (see
Laundry).
3. Open the door and make sure the filter is clean
and in place (see Maintenance).
4. Load the machine and make sure items are not
in the way of the door seal. Close the door.
5. If the On/Off light is not lit: Press the ON/OFF
button .
6. Choose a programme by checking the Programmes
Guide (see Programmes) as well as the indications
for each type of fabric (see Laundry).
- select a programme by rotating the PROGRAMMES
knob.
7. Set a delay time and other options if necessary.
8. The START/PAUSE light is flashing green:
- press the START/PAUSE button to begin.
The green light stops flashing and the display will
show the estimated time to end.
During the drying programme, you can check on
your laundry and take out items that are dry while
others continue drying. When you close the door
again, press the START/PAUSE button in order
to resume drying.
(When the door is opened the START/PAUSE light
will flash Amber, after the door is closed and the
START/PAUSE button pressed, the START/PAUSE
light will stop flashing and show green.)
9. During the last few minutes of Drying Programmes,
before the programme is completed, the final
COOL TUMBLE phase is entered (fabrics are
cooled), this phase should always be allowed to
complete.
10. The buzzer will warn you when the programme is
complete. Open the door, take the laundry out,
clean the filter and replace it (see Maintenance).
If the Post Creasecare Option has been selected
and you do not remove the laundry immediately,
the dryer will tumble occasionally for 10 hours
or until you open the door.
11. Unplug the dryer.
Easy Iron Programme
‘Easy Iron’ is a short 10 minute programme (8 minutes of heat followed by a 2 minute cool tumble period) which
fluffs the fibres of clothing that have been left in the same position/location for an extended period of time.
The cycle relaxes the fibres and makes them easier to iron and fold.
! ‘Easy Iron’ is not a drying programme and should not be used for wet articles of clothing.
For best results:
1. Do not load more than the maximum capacity.
These numbers refer to the dry weight:
Fabric Maximum load
Cotton and Cotton mixtures 2.5kg
Synthetics 2kg
Denim 2kg
2. Unload the dryer immediately after the end of the programme, hang, fold or iron the articles and put
them away in the closet. Should this not be possible repeat the programme.
The ‘Easy Iron’ effect varies from one fabric to the next. It works well on traditional fabrics like Cotton or Cotton mix,
and less well on acrylic fibres and on materials such as Tencel®.
Wool Programme
This is a programme for tumble dryer safe garments marked with the symbol .
It can be used for load sizes up to 1kg (approximately 3 sweaters).
We recommend that garments are turned inside out before drying.
This programme will take about 60 minutes, but may take longer depending on the size and density of the
load and the spin speed used in your washer.
Loads dried using this programme are usually ready to wear, but on some heavier garments the edges may be
slightly damp. Allow these to dry naturally as over-drying could damage garments.
! Unlike other materials, the mechanism of wool shrinkage is irreversible; i.e. it will not stretch back to original size
and shape.
! This programme is not suitable for Acrylic garments.
The wool drying cycle of this tumble dryer has been approved by The Woolmark Company for the drying of
Woolmark garments labelled as machine wash and tumble dry, provided that the garments are dried according to
instructions on the garment label and those issued by the manufacturer of this tumble dryer (M0615).
This is the first and only wool drying cycle approved by The Woolmark Company.
