Sorting fabrics

(2) Materials suitable for tumble drying

For the best drying results, clothes should be sorted properly. Separate the lint shedders (chenille and terry cloth) from the lint collectors (synthetics, flannel and fabrics with a nap, such as velveteen and corduroy). Separate non-colorfast from light colored items, heavy fabrics from light weight fabrics and permanent press from heavy, bulky items.

Do not tumble dry

Read all permanent care labels carefully. If a garment's care label says "Drip Dry", "Line Dry" or "Dry Flat", do not dry in the dryer. Certain materials will melt or become dangerously flammable if heated, while others may lose their shape. Other items that should not be tumble dried are:
• Items that have been dry-cleaned at home
• Wool (unless the garment's manufacturer recommends it)
• Fiberglass
• Laminated or rubber coated items
• Vinyl and plastic
• Do not use fabric softeners or products to eliminate static unless recommended by the manufacturer of the fabric softener or product.
Do not allow children to play on or in the appliance. Close supervision of children is necessary when the appliance is used near children.
Type of washing Recommended size of load
White wash, colored wash (cotton, linen)
Synthetics Permanent press (Polyester, cotton)
Delicate wash. Mild delicate wash. Temperature-sensitive materials such as acry lics, rayon and acetate
Use the T button to set the machine for tumbling at low temperatura Otherwise the temperature will automatically go up to normal temperature (la the T button is released).

3 Set the required program
using the program knob
Which program to use
The program to be used depends on what is to be done with the washing after tumbie-drying. Two automatic programs are provided: 'Extra Dry' and
'Dry', if washing is not to be dried compieteiy, i.e. because it is to be ironed, it is a good idea to use the time program instead. Either of the operating temperatures (Low or Normai) is avaiiabie
with either of the automatic programs or with the time program.
4 Press the main On/Off switch
and the Start pushbutton
(The indicating lamp will light)
The Start pushbutton springs out again after use.
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 0 position
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.
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.
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.
Page 5
If you want to check how dry washing is: Open the door.
The drum stops automatically and will not restart until you close the door and press the Start pushbutton.

When the dryer has stopped:

Remove the washing

Clean the lint filter

Turn off the power at the main On/Off pushbutton switch

If the machine
does not work
The machine will not start
Check that:
•The front door is properly closed.
•The main On/Off pushbutton is
pressed in.
•The electric plug is firmly inserted in its socket (if the machine is not permanently wired in).
•Aii fuses are intact.
NOTEi If the machine still fails to start, it is probable that the overheating cutout
has operated. It switches off the tumbler if the temperature is too high. For example if dust has blocked the lint filter. Clean the filter and reset the overheating protection switch by pressing the rubber disc on the back of the machine.
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.

The machine starts, but will not continue to run

If the machine starts when the Start button is pressed, but stops as soon as the button is released, it indicates that the overheating cutout has operated. Clean the lint filter and allow the machine to cool down.
Excessive drying times
Check that the lint filter is not block ed. Do not overload the dryer. Items to be tumble-dried must first have been spin-dried, preferably at 800 r/min or more

Note!

Clean lint collecting near the tumble dryer as it can be sucked into the air intake.

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.
(D 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. The machine does not start automatically if the door is
45°C (113°F)) are fitted next to the fan. There are also two 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

• Dry consecutive loads to avoid
reheating the dryer.
• Do not overload the dryer.
• Do not put unspun, very wet items in
the dryer.
• Clean the lint filter after each load.
• Do not over dry clothes when using
the timed program.
• If you plan on ironing items, remove
them while still slightly damp
• Leave the door closed while the dryer
is in operation.

Drying times and energy consumption

Drying times and energy consumption
The table on the right shows drying times and energy consumption in accordance with the following conditions:
• Program 2 has been used (the normal, 'Dry' automatic
program).
• Drying temperature: Normal.
• Fabrics dried are of cotton,
previously spun at 800 r/min.
• 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.

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.
Connection to a ventilation duct
Electrical Installation
Electrical installation must be
carried out by a skilled electri cian. As supplied, the machine is arranged for single-phase.
Connection as delivered:
1-phase, 208/230 V, heater power 2850 W, 15 A fuse required.
NOTE: Follow all state and
local codes.
To install washer/dryer into a single 30A 208/240V wall receptical:
1. Remove top of washer - by
removing three 25 torx screws.
2. Using power cord attached to dryer, thread through power cord restraint on washer. Attach to
terminal block on bulk Head.
NOTE: This should be at the top of
the terminal block.
3. Remove knock-out plug on bulk
head of washer. Install dryer cord
30A 250V AWG 10/3 through
knock-out to terminal block.
4. Replace top to washer and test units.
Connect the exhaust hose from
the tumble dryer to a ventilation
exhaust fitting or to a discharge
through the wall.
Secure the hose joint to the outlet
stub on the machine.
Run the hose, with as few bends as possible to the point of discharge. If
necessary, it can be extended to a maximum of 8.75 yards of 4" diameter hose.
Make any bends as gentle as possi ble. A maximum of four 90® bends may be fitted in the hose. The more bends and the longer the hose, the less will be the amount of air pass ing through the machine.
If more than 8.75 yards of hose is needed, diameter must be increased.
If the hose is taken to a wall outlet, a ventilation grille should be fitted to prevent reverse flow of cold air.
IMPORTANT: The appliance should
not be exhausted into a chimney, a wall, a ceiling, or a concealed space of a building.
The only rigid of flexible metal duct should be used for exhausting, unless the appliance has been investigated for use with nonmetallic duct.
Fit the ventilation grHIe to the inside or outside of the wal
