The Controls
Active Light
This light will glow whenever a programme is active (running).
If this light flashes it shows 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.
Drying Light
This light glows during the drying part of the programme, except for
the short periods during the drum reverse action.
Empty Water Light
This light will glow when the water container is full.
You should not wait for this light to glow before emptying the water
container, but empty it after each load (see section "Emptying the
Water Container").
NOTE: When the light glows you must stop the dryer and empty the
water container.
If the light glows during a drying cycle the timer will advance to the
Cool Tumble phase, without drying the load.
The light will take approximately 10 seconds to go out after replacing
the empty container.
You cannot start a new programme if this light glows, the water
container must be first emptied.
Cool Tumble
About 10 minutes before the programme is completed, the heating
phase
elements will be switched off, and the programme enters the final
'Cool Drying' 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 programme. See previous page.
Crease Care
At the end of the drying programme it may not be convenient to take
phase
out the clothes immediately. Do not worry, the dryer will protect your
clothes from creasing by gently turning them over occasionally by
means of a few revolutions of the drum. At the same time, if you have
not cancelled the Alarm (Buzzer) a warning buzz will sound
intermittently to remind you that the clothes are ready to take out.
Easy Iron Programme
'Easy Iron' provides a short programme consisting of approximately 8
minutes of heat with an approximately 2 minutes cool tumble period. It
is a short conditioning programme that softens the fibres allowing them
to relax making handling and ironing easier and less time consuming.
However garments are dried, outside on the line, inside on a radiator,
When to use
'Easy Iron'
hung around the home or using a tumble dryer, once dry they usually
get left in the same position/place for a long period of time. This tends
to cause garment fibre stiffness which can make the handling of
garments difficult and therefore the ironing time longer. Garments
dried in any of the ways described above and left will benefit from the
'Easy Iron' programme.
The 'Easy Iron' cycle is not a drying programme. It has been
Important!
designed to condition/soften garments that have already been
dried and left unattended in this state for a period of time.
All materials do not behave in exactly the same way when heated.
For instance, our testing has shown that materials such as
Tencel® and Acrylics are not relaxed quite as effectively by
applying the 'Easy Iron' cycle as we found on the more traditional
Cottons and Polycottons.
To obtain the best results from 'Easy Iron' it is important that the
weights recommended below are not exceeded.
For best results We recommend garments should be
removed from the dryer immediately after the 'Easy Iron'
programme to be hung, folded neatly or ironed.
When this is not possible the 'Easy Iron' programme should
be repeated.
