Foam rubber materials can produce fire by spontaneous
combustion when heated.
•
Rubber-backed articles, clothes fitted with foam rubber
pads, pillows, galoshes and rubber-coated sports shoes.
Note: Lint build up is a fire hazard
•
Clean the lint filter after every load to reduce drying
times, save energy and avoid overheating.
Overheating will damage your clothes and may start
a fire.
•
To avoid potential fire hazards, we recommend that
you pay a qualified service technician to periodically
clean your dryer. Do this when you change your
mounting from upright to inverted, or vice versa.
•
Do not allow lint to build up around your dryer.
•
Do not operate your dryer without the lint filter.
•
A torn or damaged lint filter must be replaced
immediately. Do not remove the fringe from the edge
of the lint filter.
•
Do not overload your dryer. Overloading can
increase lint build up because the airflow is reduced.
Wa rning: To protect your safety, and to reduce the risk
of fire or an explosion, DO NOT store or use petrol or
other inflammable vapours and liquids near your dryer
Cleaning the Lint Filter
Inside your dryer, at the back of the drum, is a micromesh
lint filter.
You must clean this filter after every load of drying.
•
If you use your dryer with a blocked filter, the safety cut
out will switch off the dryer.
•
Note: see page 4 for instructions on how to set the
safety reset button.
•
If you push the red reset button to restart your dryer and
you haven’t cleaned the filter:
(a) you will get poor, inefficient drying performance,
and
(b) your dryer may switch off again before the load is
dry.
To r emove the filter:
•
Pull out the plastic filter guard and filter from the back
of the dryer drum. Use the finger holes which are there
to help you.
•
Unsnap the micromesh filter from the filter guard as
shown in the diagram below.
You may now easily wipe or peel off the lint from the lint
filter.
To refit the lint filter:
•
Make sure that the "fingers" at the centre of the lint
filter point towards the filter guard.
•
Snap the lint filter to the guard. Make sure that the filter
is pushed on all the way.
•
Refit the guard (with the filter attached) to the back of
the drum. It will snap into place when you fit it
correctly.
Features of your tumble dryer
Controls for models 350,450 and 455
Heat control
These dryers have three (3) temperature settings:
Warm for delicate items which can shrink, such as synthetics,
underwear etc.
Cool for airing clothes and fluffing them up.
Hot for heavy, durable items such as towels and flannelette
sheets (You will need to dry these for longer drying times)
Drying time control
Turn the control/timer knob clockwise (right) to select the
drying time.
Important: If you want less than 30 minutes drying time,
you must turn the knob past the 30 minute mark, then
anticlockwise (left) back to the time you want.
At the end of your selected drying time there is an automatic
13 minute AIRING time to cool down the load.
Drying time will depend on fabric type and construction,
load size and wetness. To reduce drying times, always spin
the load as dry as possible in your washing machine before
using your dryer.
Note: Drying time will also be affected by voltage
fluctuations, room temperature and humidity. Clothes will
dry more slowly on a cool or humid day.
