Operating Instructions

Electrical requirements
The unit is required to be plugged into a three pin socket that is reliably grounded. The power supply must be 220-240V.

Plug the power cord into the socket.

Loading the dryer
It is recommended that items are placed into the dryer one at a time. This ensures they are not tangled which results in uneven drying. When closing the dryer door prior to starting the unit ensure that items are not jammed in the door.

Tips before drying
Prior to loading the dryer, please check that the items do no have the following care symbols on them. Do not tumble dry these items:

Dry flat

Dry in the shade

Do not tumble dry

Hang to dry

Drip dry

• Check the items to be dried do not have combustible materials or foreign objects within them (lighters, hair pins, coins etc.)
• Turn items with zippers inside out and fasten buckles.
• Dryer heat may permanently set stains, ensure you check prior to drying that stains are removed.
• Separate dark and light coloured items as you would do when washing.
• For best results load the dryer with similar fabrics. Place small delicate items in a mesh bag and do not overload the dryer.
• The maximum mass is 4.5 kilograms of dry textile material for the dryer and do not overload. The tumble dryer is intended only for drying textile material washed in water.

Drying Time Reference Table
Drying times can be affected by many factors, such as material, bulkiness and how full the dryer is.

The following table is a guide only:

Operation Precautions

• Delicate items should be placed into a nylon net bag prior to drying. It is not recommended to dry underwear bras in this unit.
• Ensure that foreign objects do not find their way into the dryer. All pockets should be emptied, buttons, buckles and zips fastened. This will also help reduce impact noise when the items hit against the turning drum.
• Do not add items into the dryer whilst it is in operation.
• If drying large items such as a blanket, it is recommended that from time to time you open the dryer door, shake the item, place the item back in the dryer and close the door. This will ensure even drying.
• To minimize the risk of fire in a tumble dryer, the following should be observed:
• Items that have been spotted or soaked with vegetable or cooking oil constitute a fire hazard and should not be placed in a tumble dryer.
• Oil-affected items can ignite spontaneously, especially when exposed to heat sources such as in a tumble dryer. The items become warm, causing an oxidation reaction in the oil. Oxidation creates heat. If the heat cannot escape, the items can become hot enough to catch fire. Piling, stacking or storing oil-affected items can prevent heat from escaping and so create a fire hazard.
• If you must put fabrics containing vegetable or cooking oil, or those exposed to hair care products into the dryer, we recommend to wash them first in hot water with additional detergent. This action will help minimize the risk, although it may not completely eliminate it.
• The Cool cycle of the dryer should be used to reduce the temperature of the items. They should not be removed from the tumble dryer or piled or stacked while hot.
• Items that have been previously cleaned in, washed in, soaked in or spotted with petrol/gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents or other flammable or explosive substances should not be placed in a tumble dryer.
• Highly flammable substances commonly used in domestic environments include acetone, denatured alcohol, petrol/gasoline, kerosene, spot removers (some brands), turpentine, waxes and wax removers.
• Items containing foam rubber (also known as latex foam) or similarly textured rubber-like materials should not be dried in a tumble dryer on a heat setting.
• Foam rubber materials can, when heated, produce fire by spontaneous combustion.
• Fabric softeners or similar products should not be used in a tumble dryer to eliminate the effects of static electricity unless this practice is specifically recommended by the manufacturer of the fabric softener or product.
• Undergarments that contain metal reinforcements\ should not be placed in a tumble dryer.
• Damage to the tumble dryer can result if metal reinforcements come loose during drying. When available a drying rack could be used for such items.
• Plastic articles such as shower caps or babies’ waterproof napkin covers should not be placed in a tumble dryer.
• Rubber-backed articles, clothes fitted with foam rubber pads, pillows, galoshes and rubber-coated tennis shoes should not be placed in a tumble dryer.
