1.1 Dryer Safety
Failure to follow these safety instructions could
damage the dryer or your clothes
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 located on the
bottom of the door opening for voltage
information.
CAUTION : if this appliance is supplied form a
cord extension set or electrical portable outlet
device, the cord extension set or electrical
portable outlet device must be positioned or
that it is not subject to splashing
or ingress of moisture. For Safety reasons we
strongly advise against the use of double
adaptor, extension cords or power boards.
This appliance is not intended for use by
persons (including children) with reduced
physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack
of experience and knowledge, unless they
have been given supervision or instruction
concerning use of the appliance by a person
responsible for their safety.
Children should be supervised to ensure that
they do not play with the 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 order to avoid a hazard.
These dryers are for drying clothes, towels and linen
at home. Do not use them for any other purpose.
Lint must not be allowed to accumulate around
the tumble dryer.
Do not dry unwashed items in the tumble dryer.
WARNING:
Never stop a tumble dryer before the end of the
drying cycle unless all items are quickly removed
and spread out so that the heat is dissipated.
1.2 Fire Hazards
Some fabrics are not suitable for tumble drying.
The following MUST NOT be placed in your
dryer due to the risk of a fire or an explosion :
Items that have been spotted or soaked with
vegetable oil, cooking oil, suntan oil, linseed oil,
salad oil, lubrication oil or grease. Oil affected
items can ignite spontaneously, especially
when exposed to heat sources such as in a
tumble dryer.The items becomce warm,
causing as oxidation reaction in the oil.
Oxidationcreates heat. If heat cannot escape,
the items can become hot enough to ignite.
Pilling, stackingl 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 is
hot water with extra detergent - this will reduce,
but not eliminate the hazard.
The final part of tumble dryer cycle occurs
without heat (Cooling cycle) to ensure that the
items are left at the temperature that ensures
that the items will not be damage.
Item that have previously been cleaned in,
washed in, or spotted with petrol/gasoline,
industrial chemicals used only for cleaning,
dry-cleaning solvents or other flammable or
explosive substances are highly flammable.
Highly flammable or explosive commonly found
aroundthe house include acetone, (nail polish
remover) denatured alcohol, petrol/gasoline,
kerosene,some spot removers, turpentine,
waxes and wax removers should not be put in
the dryer.Items containing foam rubber (also
known as latex foam) or similarly textured
rubber-like materials.Foam rubber materials
can produce fire by spontaneous combustion
when heated.
Rubber-backed articles, clothes fitted with foam
rubber pads, pillows, rubber boots and
rubber-coated sports shoes.
For 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.

1.3 Cleaning The Lint Filter 1.4 Drying Guide
LINT BUILD-UP IS A FIRE HAZARD
A clean lint filter reduces drying times, saves
energy and avoids overheating. Overheating
may also damage your clothes.
What happens If I forget to clean the lint filter?
You must clean this lint filter after every load.
Your load, when dry must not exceed the rated
capacity
5.5 kg for the SDV556HQWA Dryer
6.5 kg for the SDV656HQWA Dryer
(See page 9 for a table of average weights
of laundry items)
Always check your labels for the drying
symbolwhich this international Care Labelling
Code now uses.
Permanent press and synthetics - take out
as soon as the dryer stops to reduce wrinkles.
Woollen articles - not recommended. Pull
themto their original shape, then dry them flat.
Woven and loop knit materials - may shrink,
by varying amount, depending on their quality.
Do not use the “Extra” setting for these fabrics,
Always stretch them out immediately after
drying.
Ensure the lint filter “Clicks” when replacing.
Note : Lint filter can only be inserted one way
Never operate your dryer without the lint filter.
Do not allow lint to build around your dryer.
A torn or damaged lint filter must be replaced
immediately.
Overloading can increase lint build-up
because the airflow is reduced.
Fibre or leather materials - always check the
manufacturer’s instructions.
Baby clothes and night gowns - acrylic
clothing or sleepwear use only on the “Iron”
setting.
Rubber and plastics - Do not dry any items
made from or containing rubber or plastics,
such as aprons, bibs, babies’ water proof
napkins, curtains, tablecloths, shower caps,
clothes fitted with foam rubber pads, pillows,
galoshes, or rubber coated tennis shoes.

particles left in the dryer could be picked up by
your clothes the next time you use the dryer
and irritate your skin.

WARNING: Never stop a tumble dryer
before the end of the drying cycle
unless all items are quickly removed

If further drying is required, close the door and
then press the Start/Pause button to continue.
For the best drying performance, only add or
remove clothes at the begining of the drying
cycle.
Hints4.
Never tumble dry the following : Delicate
items such as net curtains, woollen, silk,
fabric with metal trim, nylon tights, bulky
metarials 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 part were to come loose fro the garment.
Place such items in a bag designed for this
purpose.
Check and empty pockets. Clip, pens, nails
and pins can damage bth the dryer and your
clothes. Other item 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 aporn string 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 your washing machine.
Always clean the lint filter-this will reduce
drying time and save you money.
The laundry must be thoroughly spun before
tumble drying.
Easy-care items eg shirt, should be briefly
pre-spun before drying (depending on tnis
crease resistance approximately 30 seconds).
9
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.
Due to variations in dryer load fabric texture
and thickness it is possible that not all items
will be dried evenly. It you experience uneven
dryness on Cupboard program please use
either Extra Dry or Timer Program but be
mindful of the type of fabric being dried to
avoid overdrying certain types of fabric.
Always follow drying instructions attached to
the items intended to be dried in a clothes
dryer.
Drying time will also be effected 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. Such as heavy items which may take
longer to dry, eg. towels, flannelette sheets,
etc. than ones which dry quickly, eg. poly/cotton shirts and and sheets.
Avoid drying dark clothes with light coloured
items such as towels as lint will show on the
dark clothes.
Note : Some fabrics will collect lint from other
clothes and items. Separate the lint “gives”
and the lint “collectors” to minimise this
problem.
Clothes that give lint include towels, nappies,
chenille. Clothes that collect lint include
corduroy, synthetics and permanent press
garments.
If individule items are still damp after drying, set
a 30 minutes post drying time. This wil be
necessary particularly for multilayered items (eg.
collars, pockets, etc).
To help you, here is a list of the average weights
of some common laundry items.
