Guide to drying times

Please note that the drying times stated below and on appliance

control panel; are a GUIDE only and drying times are affected by:-

Items such as towelling retain a lot of water after spinning, also the

suggested wash programme for small items such as T-Shirts may

sometimes incorporate a low spin speed which has the same effect.

Your drying load may contain the same type of fabric but of different

thicknesses. Thinner items will take less time to dry. Some fabrics,

such as those used for jeans are of closer texture than others and

although light when dry will be heavy after washing and spinning.

Single items of clothes or small loads may take disproportionally

longer to dry. It is more energy efficient to dry larger loads.

As it takes longer to fully dry clothes than to have them ready for

ironing, you may wish to remove some clothes when they are slightly

damp, ready for ironing and then continue to dry the remainder until

they are fully dry.

The label on the garment should tell you the correct heat setting to

select. See ‘Wash Care Labels’.

If the room in which the dryer is situated is cold, your clothes will take

longer to dry than if the room is warm.

Some bulky items such as padded jackets can be dried, with care, and

we do advise that you remove these items several times, shake them

and return them to the dryer.

THERE ARE HOWEVER SOME ITEMS THAT WE DO NOT ADVISE

YOU TO DRY. SEE ‘ITEMS NOT SUITABLE FOR TUMBLE

DRYING’

All fabrics contain a little natural moisture even when ‘dry’ and this nat-

ural moisture should not be lost if the clothes are to remain soft and

fluffy.

Clothes that are dried for too long tend to wrinkle and will need more

ironing than usual, giving you extra work that the Dryer was designed

to remove.

Caring for your Dryer

Your Tumble Dryer needs very little attention. The following simple

steps will keep it performing well.

Switch off electricity and remove plug. Ensure hands are dry.

Always clean the filter, by rinsing under the tap or using a vacuum

cleaner. Turn the dryer by hand to check that small items like hand-

kerchiefs do not get missed. Always empty the water container.

Wipe the drum and seal with a damp cloth.

Remove condenser unit and clean any build up of fluff from between

the plates by rinsing it under the tap with cold water. This should be

done with cold water from the rear of the condenser. Refit with the

handle at the front.

Occasionally clean the surface of the stainless steel sensor inside the

drum with vinegar to remove water contaminates. Apply carefully with

a cloth this will maintain the drying performance of the dryer. The

sensor is approx 50mm (2") round and located between the vanes of

the drum towards the front of the dryer, rotate the drum if necessary

to locate it.

Every 6 months vacuum the front air intake grille and Vents at the rear

of the dryer, to remove the build up of fluff, lint or dust.

To remove accumulation of fluff from the door, front of condenser and

filter areas, clean occasionally with a vacuum cleaner.

Abrasive cleaners, scouring agents, acids, chlorine bleach or metal

polish to clean any part of the machine.

Your tumble dryer uses special bearing components. Lubrication by

the user is not necessary and must not be attempted.

We strongly recommend that all appliances are regularly checked for

electrical and mechanical safety.
