The Controls
Indicator Lamp
The indicator lamp turns orange during a drying programme when
the water container is full. When this happens, you must empty the
water container. The programme goes directly to the cooling phase
and the dryer stops. The orange light warns you that the load will not
be dried correctly. Empty the water container and start the
programme again by pressing the start button.
At the end of the drying programme if the water container has filled
the indicator lamp will glow red. A programme cannot be started
when the lamp is red.
The indicator lamp goes off (or turns green if a programme is
running) a few seconds after the empty water container has been put
back.
If this light flashes it shows that an automatic programme has
exceeded 180 minutes. For safety reasons this being the maximum
drying time available.
Should this occur, the causes may be:
The load is too big, or bulky.
The filter is blocked.
A cotton load was spun at LOW speed.
There may be a fault.
Turn the dryer Off, check through the first three causes, and then try
again.
Cool Tumble
About 10 minutes before the programme is completed, the heating
phase
elements will be switched off, and the programme enters the final
'Cool Drying' phase. During this phase, the fabric is cooled. You
should always allow the dryer to complete this phase.
By opening the door, you can check the dryness of the load as often
as you wish and if you want remove some items before they are fully
dry. (This is particularly useful for a mixed load where you want to iron
some items, but others to be fully dried.)
You will need to press the START button after closing the door to
re-start the programme. See previous page.
Crease Care
At the end of the drying programme it may not be convenient to take
phase
out the clothes immediately. Do not worry, the dryer will protect your
clothes from creasing by gently turning them over occasionally by
means of a few revolutions of the drum. At the same time, if you have
not cancelled the Alarm (Buzzer) a warning buzz will sound
intermittently to remind you that the clothes are ready to take out.
Easy Iron Programme
'Easy Iron' provides a short programme consisting of approximately 8
minutes of heat with an approximately 2 minutes cool tumble period. It
is a short conditioning programme that softens the fibres allowing them
to relax making handling and ironing easier and less time consuming.
However garments are dried, outside on the line, inside on a radiator,
When to use
hung around the home or using a tumble dryer, once dry they usually
'Easy Iron'
get left in the same position/place for a long period of time. This tends
to cause garment fibre stiffness which can make the handling of
garments difficult and therefore the ironing time longer. Garments
dried in any of the ways described above and left will benefit from the
'Easy Iron' programme.
The 'Easy Iron' cycle is not a drying programme. It has been
Important!
designed to condition/soften garments that have already been
dried and left unattended in this state for a period of time.
All materials do not behave in exactly the same way when heated.
For instance, our testing has shown that materials such as
Tencel® and Acrylics are not relaxed quite as effectively by
applying the 'Easy Iron' cycle as we found on the more traditional
Cottons and Polycottons.
To obtain the best results from 'Easy Iron' it is important that the
weights recommended below are not exceeded.
For best results We recommend garments should be
removed from the dryer immediately after the 'Easy Iron'
programme to be hung, folded neatly or ironed.
When this is not possible the 'Easy Iron' programme should
be repeated.
