Do not use an extension cord with this appliance.
Do not install in a tight fitting cabinet. Do not overload the tumble dryer.
Ensure foreign objects do not find their way into the tub of the tumble dryer.
The door window may be hot after a long drying cycle.
Please ensure children are kept away from the machine.
If the tumble dryer is not wall mounted, place in a flat, firm, dry and drafty place. Use the adjustable front legs to assist in leveling the dryer if need be. Do net place it on any soft material such as foam or plastic.
Do not use flammable or combustible materials such as gas, petrol, alcohol or lacquer in the 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 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 in bot water with extra detergent-this will reduce, but not eliminate, the hazard.
Do not dry unwashed items in the tumble dryer.
Items that have been soiled with substances such as cooking oil, acetone, alcohol, petrol, kerosene, spot removers, turpentine, waxes, and wax removers should be washed in hot water with an extra amount of detergent before being dried in the tumble dryer.
Items such as foam rubber (latex foam), shower caps, waterproof textiles, rubber-backed articles and clothes or pillows fitted with foam rubber pads should not be dried in the tumble dryer.
Fabric softeners, or similar products, should be used as specified by the fabric softener instructions.
The final part of a tumble dryer cycle occurs without heat (cool down cycle) to ensure that the items are left at a temperature that ensures that the items will not be damaged.
Remove all objects from pockets such as lighters and matches.

WARNING
Never stop a tumble dryer before the end of the drying cycle unless all items are quickly removed and spread out so that heat is dissipate.

Operating Your Dryer

Electrical Requirements
The unit is required to be plugged into a three pin socket that is reliably grounded. 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 ensures that items are not jammed in the door.

Tips before drying
Prior to loading the dryer check that the items do : not have the following symbols anywhere on them. lf they do, do not tumble dry these items.

Check the items to be dried do not have combustible materials or foreign objects within them t.e.: lighters, hair pins, coins.
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 colored 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 2.5 kilogram’s 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 Capacity	Dry time
Approx.1 kg	Approx.40min
Approx.2kg	Approx.80m in
Approx.3kg	Approx.120min
Approx.4.5kg	Approx.200min

Drying times can be affected by many factors, such as material, bulkiness, how full the dryer is etc. The above list is only a guide only.

Control Panel Functions

Start button

After having set up the Heat Selector and Timer Dial, press the Start button. The dryer will start and work until the program is finished.
If during the drying process the door is opened (or power is switched off), the dryer will stop working. In order to restart it, you will need to close the door (or switch the power back on) and then press the Start button. The dryer will then resume operation.

NOTE: This Start button is only designed to start operation of the dryer. If you press this button during the drying process, the dryer will not pause. In order to stop the dryer, you must turn the timer dial to the Off position.

Drying Program Selector
There are five drying combinations available: Cool, Anti-wrinkle, Warm, Hot and Air dry.

Operation Precautions

Delicate items should be placed into a nylon net bag prior to drying. It is not recommended to dry under wire 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 hack in the dryer and close the door. This will ensure even drying.

To ensure you get the most out of the Anti-wrinkle function do not overload the dryer and remove the dried items from the dryer immediately and hang on coat hangers. Iron the items if desired.

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 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 in hot water with extra detergent this will reduce, but not eliminate, the hazard.

The ‘cool down’ cycle of tumble dryers should be used to reduce the temperature of the items. They should not be removed from the tumble dryer or piled or slacked 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.
