Important Safety Instructions
DRYER SAFETY
Failure to follow these safety instructions could damage the
dryer or yourclothes.
You may then not be covered by warranty for this
damage.
Only plug this appliance directly into an AC power supply,
which is properly earthed and has the correct voltage. See
the serial number sticker
opening
CAUTION: If this appliance is supplied from a cord extension
set or electrical portable outlet device, the cord extension set
or electrical portable outlet device must be positioned so that
it is not subject to splashing or ingress of moisture. For safety
reasons we strongly advise against the use of double
adaptors, extension cords or powerboards.
This tumble dryer is not intended for use by young children or
infirm persons without supervision. Young children should be
supervised to ensurethat they do not play withthe appliance.
IMPORTANT: If the electrical cord of this appliance is
damaged, it must be replaced by the Manufacturer,
Authorised Service Agent or similarly qualified person in

FIRE HAZARDS
Some fabrics are not suitable for tumble drying. The following

oil, cooking oil, suntan oil, linseed oil, salad oil,
lubrication oil or grease.
spontaneously, especially when exposed to heat sources
such as in a tumble dryer. The items become warm,
causing an oxidation reaction in theoil. Oxidation creates
heat. If heat cannot escape, the items can become hot
enough to ignite. Piling, stacking, or storing oil-affected
items can prevent heat from escaping and create a fire
hazard. If it is unavoidable that fabrics that contain
vegetable or cooking oil, or have been contaminated by
hair care products be placed in a tumble dryer, they
should first be washed in hot water with extra detergent this will reduce, but not eliminate the hazard. The ‘cool
down’ cycle of tumble dryers should be used to reduce
the temperature of the items. They should not be
removed from the tumble dryeror piled while hot.

flammable or explosive substances. Highly
flammable substances commonly found around the
house include acetone, (nail polish remover)
denatured alcohol, petrol/gasoline, kerosene, some
spot removers, turpentine, waxes and wax removers.
Items containing foam rubber (also known as latex
foam) or similarly textured rubber-like materials.
Foam rubber materials can produce fire by

immediately.
!
Overloading can increase lint build-up because the
airflow is reduced.
To avoid potential fire hazards, we recommend that you
pay a qualified service technician to periodically clean
your dryer. You must do this also when you change your
mounting from upright toinverted, or vice versa.
!
Fibre or leather materials
- always check the
manufacturer’s instructions.
!
Baby clothes and night gowns
- acrylic clothing or
sleepwear use only onthe ‘warm’ setting.
!
Rubber and plastics
- Do not dry any items made from
or containing rubber or plastics, such as aprons, bibs,
babies’ waterproof napkins, curtains, tablecloths,
shower caps, clothes fitted with foam rubber pads,
pillows, galoshes, or rubbercoated tennis shoes.
!
Fibreglass
- not recommended. Glassparticles left in the
dryer could be picked up by your clothes the next time
you use the dryer, and irritate your skin.
During the dryingcycle, if you want to
!
add or take outclothes, or
!
check the drynessof the load,
turn down the timer to ‘Airing’ for at least one minute before
opening the door. This is to prevent scorching or possible self
combustion of the fabric.
Fabric softeners or similar products should not be used in a
tumble dryer to eliminate the effects of static electricity
unless this practice is specifically recommended by the
manufacturer of the fabric softeneror product.
Note: We strongly advise against the use of fabric
conditioners of the sheet type that are added to the
clothes in the drum. These products may lead to rapid
blockage of the lint filter and inefficient operation of your
dryer.

Home Products Pty. Ltd. Spare Parts Centre for the list
of approved kits. The exhaust duct must not exceed 2
metres in length and 100mmin diameter.
If connecting the dryer to a common ducting system,
safety advice should be requested from the
manufacturer.
If you choose to use an optional vent kit, the exhaust grille at
the front of the dryer will need to be replaced with the outlet
cover from the back of the dryer. Gently prise open the grille,
using a thin bladed tool. Next, remove the cover from the
back and clip it into the grille space at the front. The exhaust
grille is not required when using a vent kit.

Inlet and outlet points need clear airflow to prevent
overheating, so ensure there is adequate ventilation. (i.e.
open window or externaldoor.)
If a venting kit is used and theexhaust is discharged out ofthe
room, there must be adequate ventilation to avoid the back
flow of gases into the room from appliances burning other
fuels, including open fires, when operating the tumble dryer.
This is not applicable where a venting hose is directed to an
open window. The exhaust air must not be discharged into a
flue which is used for exhausting fumes from appliances
burning gas or otherfuels.

Useful Hints
!
Never tumble dry the following: Delicate items such as
net curtains, woollen, silk, fabric with metal trim, nylon
tights, bulky materials such as anoraks, blankets,
eiderdown, sleeping bags, feather quilts and any item
containing rubber foam or materials similar to foam
rubber.
!
Do not place in your dryer undergarments such as bras
and corsets that contain metal reinforcements. Your
dryer may be damaged if metal parts were to come
loose from the garment. Place such items in a bag
designed for this purpose.
!
Check and empty pockets. Clips, pens, nails and pins
can damage both the dryer and your clothes. Other
items such as matches or cigarette lighters will cause a
fire.
!
Close all press studs, hooks, eyes and zips that may
catch on something else. Tie all belts and apron strings
to prevent tangling.
!
Drying time will depend on fabric type and
construction, load size and wetness. Save time and
money and always spin the load as dry as possible in
your washing machine.
!
Drying time will also be affected by voltage
fluctuations, room temperature and humidity. Clothes
will dry more slowly on a cool or humid day.
For best results, sort the load according to fabric types.
!
Such as heavy items which may take longer to dry, eg
towels, flannelette sheets etc, than ones which dry
quickly, eg poly/cotton shirtsand sheets.
Avoid drying dark clothes with light coloured items such
!
as towels as lintwill show onthe dark clothes.
Note: Some fabrics will collect lint from other cl thes
and items. Separate the lint ‘givers’ and th lint
‘collectors’ to minimise this problem.
Clothes that give lintinclude towels, nappies,chenille.
Clothes that collect lint include corduroy, synthetics and
permanent press garments.
!
If individual items are still damp after drying, set a 30
minute post drying time. This will be necessary
particularly for multilayered items (eg collars, pockets,
etc).
!
Always clean the lint filter - this will reduce drying time
and save you money.

Useful Hints, Troubleshooting & Accessories
USEFUL HINTS
The laundry must be thoroughly spun before tumble
!
drying.
!
Easy-care items eg shirts, should be briefly pre-spun
before drying (depending on the crease resistance
approximately 30 seconds)
!
To avoid static charge when drying is completed, use
either a fabric softener when you are washing the
laundry or a fabric conditioner specifically for tumble
dryers.
!
Remove the laundry when the dryer has finished
drying.
!
Do not over-dry laundry, this avoids creasing and saves
energy.
!
Clothes or towels containing sand or grit should be
washed first.
