PREPARING THE LOAD
Before using the tumble dryer for the first time:
Please read this instruction book thoroughly.
Remove all items packed inside drum.
Wipe the inside of the drum and door with a damp
cloth to remove any dust which may have settled in
transit.
Clothes Preparation
Make sure that the laundry you are going to dry is
suitable for drying in a tumble dryer, as shown by
the care symbols on each item.
Check that all fastenings are closed and that
pockets are empty. Turn the articles inside out.
Place clothes loosely in the drum to make sure
that they don't get tangled.
Do Not Tumble Dry:
Woollens, silk, delicate fabrics, nylon stockings,
delicate embroidery, fabrics with metallic decorations, garments with PVC or leather
trimmings, training shoes, bulky items such as
sleeping bags, etc.
IMPORTANT: Do not dry articles which have
been treated with a dry cleaning fluid or rubber
clothes (danger of fire or explosion).
During the last 15 minutes the load is always
tumbled in cool air.
Energy Saving
Only put into the tumble dryer laundry which has
been thoroughly wrung or spin-dried. The drier the
laundry the shorter the drying time thus saving
electricity.
ALWAYS
•Try to dry the maximum weight of laundry, this will
save time and electricity.
•Check that the filter is clean before every drying
cycle.
NEVER
• Exceed the maximum weight, this will waste time
and electricity.
•Put dripping wet items into the tumble dryer, this
may damage the appliance.
Do not overload the drum, large items when
wet can exceed the maximum admissible clothes
load (for example: sleeping bags, duvets).

SELECTING THE PROGRAMME
The Hoover Sensor Dry machine gives many options for drying the laundry to suit all
circumstances. The table on the next page lists the programmes and the function of each
programme.
Note:
The sensor may not detect a small load of small articles. For small loads and separate items or predried fabrics with low moisture content, use the timed programmes.
If the sensor does not detect the item the dryer will only operate for 10 minutes before going into
cooldown.
If the load is too large or too wet to tumble dry the dryer will automatically go into cooldown after
approximately 3 hours.
In these cases we advise to use a time cycles between 30 and 75minutes depending on the load
size and dryness required, and select high or low heat depending upon the fabric type.
The wool drying cycle of this machine has been approved by The
Woolmark Company for the drying of machine washable wool
products provided that the products are washed and dried according
to the instructions on the garment label and those issues by the
manufacturer of this machine. M1524. In UK, Eire, Hong Kong and
India the Woolmark trade mark is a Certification trade mark.

Woolen clothes: the program can be used to dry up to 1 kg of
laundy (around 3 jumpers). It is recommended to reverse all
clothes before drying. Timing can change due to dimensions and
thickness of load and to spinning chosen during washing. At the
end of the cycle, clothes are ready to be worn, but if they are more
heavy, edges can be a bit wet: it is suggested to dry them naturally.
It is recommended to unload clothes at the very end of the cycle.
Attention: felting process of wool is irreversible; please dry
exclusively clothes with symbol (symbol "ok tumble"); this
program is not indicated for acrylic clothes.
