Jeans Program

●

This is a program for Jeans made from Denim Cotton. Before drying your Jeans turn the front pockets inside out.

●

It can be used for load sizes up to 7 lbs (3 kg) (approximately 4 pairs).

●

Do not mix dark and light colored items.

●

It can also be used on other garments made from the same material such as jackets.

●

This program will take about 100 minutes, but may take longer depending on the size of the load and the spin speed used in your washer.

●

Loads dried using this program are usually ready to wear:- the edges or seams may be slightly damp. If this is found try turning the jeans inside out and running the program again for a short period.

! We do not recommend that you use this program if your jeans have elastic waist bands, studs or embroidery.

Active Wear Program

This program is to dry up to 4 lbs (2 kg) of outerwear and as part of the drying process; it re-activates the fluorocarbon-based water resistance (also known as DWR durable water resistance). It can also be used to activate the fluorocarbon finish where the garment has been re-proofed (see the proofing agent manufacturer’s instructions).

●

This program can also dry outerwear without a fluorocarbon finish.

●

The program dries the items and then runs for a further period of heating at 120˚F (50˚C) to activate the water-resistant coating.

●

The last 15 minutes of the program is a cool tumble period, without heat, and this stage should always be completed.

●

If proprietary proofing agents are used during washing, always follow the manufacturer’s instructions.

Wool Program

●

This is a program for tumble dryer safe garments marked with the symbol .

●

It can be used for load sizes up to 2 lb (1 kg) (approximately 3 sweaters).

●

We recommend that garments are turned inside out before drying.

●

This program 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 program 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.

Wash Care Labels

Look at the labels on your garments, especially when tumble drying for the first time. The following symbols are the most common:

May be tumble dried

Do not tumble dry

Tumble dry at high heat setting

Tumble dry at low heat setting

What not to tumble dry in your dryer:

●

Articles that contain rubber or rubber-like materials or plastic film (pillows, cushions, or PVC rainwear), any other flammable objects or objects that contain flammable substances (towels soiled with hair spray).

●

Glass fibres (certain types of draperies).

●

Items which have been dry cleaned.

●

Items with the ITCL Code (see Special clothing items) . These can be cleaned with special

at-home dry cleaning products. Follow instructions carefully.

●

Large bulky items (quilts, sleeping bags, pillows, cushions, large bedspreads etc). These expand when drying and would prevent airflow through the dryer.

Household Items

At the end of a drying cycle, cottons could still be damp if you grouped cottons and permanent press items together. If this happens simply give them an additional short period of drying.

Laundry

Special clothing items

Blankets and Bedspreads: acrylic items (Acilan,

Courtelle, Orion, Dralon) must be dried with special care on LOW heat setting. Avoid drying for a long period of time.

Pleated or creased garments: read the manufacturer’s drying instructions on the garment.

Starched articles: do not dry these with non-starched items. Make sure that as much of the starch solution is removed from the load as possible before placing it in the dryer. Do not over-dry: the starch will become powdery and leave your clothing limp, which defeats the purpose of starch.

Drying times

The table below presents APPROXIMATE drying times in minutes. Weights refer to dry garments:

Regular Cottons

High (full) Heat Drying times 800-1000rpm in washing machine

Times are approximate and can vary depending upon:

●

Amount of water retained in clothes after spin cycle: towels and delicates retain a lot of water.

●

Fabrics: items that are the same type of fabric but different textures and thicknesses may not have the same drying time.

●

Quantity of laundry: single items or small loads may take longer to dry.

●

Dryness: If you are going to iron some of your clothes, they can be taken out while still a bit damp. Others can be left longer if you need them to be completely dry.

●

Heat setting.

●

Room temperature: if the room where the dryer is located is cold, it will take longer for the dryer to dry your clothes.

●

Bulk: some bulky items can be tumble dried with care. We suggest that you remove these items several times, shake them out, and return them to the dryer until finished.

! Do not over-dry your clothes. All fabrics contain a little natural moisture, which keeps them soft and fluffy.

Maintenance and Care

When you should switch off the electricity

Unplug the dryer when not using it, when cleaning it and during maintenance activities.

Clean the filter after each cycle

The filter is an important part of your dryer: it accumulates lint and fluff that is formed while drying. Small items could also become trapped in the filter. When finished drying, therefore, clean the filter by rinsing it under running water or with your vacuum cleaner. Should the filter become clogged up, the airflow inside the dryer will be seriously compromised: drying times lengthen and you will consume more energy. It may also damage your dryer.

The filter is found in front of the dryer trim (see diagram).

Check the drum after each cycle

Turn the drum manually in order to remove small items (handkerchiefs) that could have been left behind.

Cleaning the drum

! Do not use abrasives, steel wool or stainless steel cleaning agents to clean the drum.

A colour film may start to appear on the stainless steel drum, this may be caused by a combination of water and, or cleaning agents such as fabric conditioner from the wash. This colored film will not affect the dryer performance.

Cleaning the dryer

●

External parts in metal or plastic and rubber parts can be cleaned with a damp cloth.

●

Periodically check the vent tube and any permanent venting fixture to make sure that there has been no accumulation of fluff or lint, and remove it.

Removing the filter:

1. Pull the plastic grip of the filter upwards (see diagram).

2. Clean the filter and replace it correctly. Ensure the filter is fully located flush into the tumble dryer trim.

! Do not use the dryer without replacing the filter..

●

Remove lint that collects around the filter and the outlet vents.

! Do not use solvents or abrasives.

! Your dryer uses special bearing components which

do not need lubrication.

! Have your dryer checked regularly by authorized technicians to ensure electrical and mechanical safety.
