The Controls G74V

Timer Control
Turn the timer clockwise to select the required drying time.
The drying time for both heat settings is controlled by the timer. All you
have to do is turn the Timer Control clockwise until the required time
appears in line with the indicator.
Never wind the timer control anti-clockwise.
This operation also starts the dryer, provided the door is closed and the
machine is plugged in. The "Guide to Drying Times" section will tell you
how much time you'll need for various loads.
Door Release
To open door, grip handle and pull towards you.
If the door is opened while the dryer is in use, the drying programme cuts
out automatically and the machine stops. When the door is closed the
dryer will restart but you will not need to reset the timer control.
You can however reset the Timer Control at any stage should you wish.

Sorting your laundry

1. Always separate laundry into the correct fabric groups before
washing and drying.
2. See that all zips are closed, hooks and eyes are fastened and
belt, strings etc. are tied loosely in bows, you will normally have
done this for each item before the washing stage.
3. It is important to extract as much water as possible from each
item before drying. This saves you time and money.
WARNING: CLOTHES SHOULD NEVER BE LOADED
DRIPPING WET
4. Make sure that the items to be dried are suitable for tumble
drying, or are not of a type requiring 'special attention' (see"Wash
Care Labels" section).
Maximum Your dryer will hold a load of 6kg (13lb) dry weight of natural fabrics.
load size if you are drying items of man-made fibres (synthetic or acrylics), the
maximum load should not exceed 3kg (6.6lb) dry weight.
This difference is that man-made fibres require more space to tumble-
dry without creasing.
WARNING: DO NOT OVERLOAD AS THIS COULD RESULT IN
REDUCED DRYING PERFORMANCE AND A POSSIBLE FIRE
HAZARD.
Typical load
To help you estimate how many items it takes to make up a drying
load, the charts below show the approximate weights of some every-
day washing items.

If you group small cotton or terry-towelling items with a synthetic
fabric load they could be damp at the end of the drying cycle. If this
happens simply give them an additional short period of drying to
finish them off.
