Check that the voltage stamped on the rating plate of your machine (it's at the back) corresponds with your house electricity supply, which must be a.c. (alternating current).

NOTE: The dryer is only intended for drying articles which have been well washed in water and detergent and have been well rinsed and spun. 1. It is best to sort everything into fabric groups. It is very important to follow carefully each garment manufacturer’s washing and drying instructions, as given on the Care Label attached to the garment. T[...]

Making up Loads Clothes should be sorted into loads of similar fabrics before drying. Cotton which needs ironing can be dried to a suitable dampness. Towels and other cotton items which do not need ironing can be fully dried and these will be ready to wear or store as soon as they are taken from the dryer. Heavy fabrics should be dried separately f[...]

● Woollens. Woollen items need as much care in drying as they do in washing. The movement of the tumble-drying action causes the woollen fibre to shrink and distort (see below). ● Garments with the ITCL code - Do not tumble dry. ● Large bulky items eg, continental quilts, sleeping bags, pillows, cushions, double blankets and large bedspreads.[...]

Remove the items from the Dryer as soon as they reach ironing dampness. If they are over-dried, the starch will powder, leaving the fabric limp – which rather defeats the purpose of the exercise! Fabric conditioner To make sure all your tumble dried clothes come out really fresh and soft we recommend you use a fabric conditioner, such as Comfort [...]

Timer Control – Model TS13 To operate the dryer, close the door and turn the timer control from the zero position in a clockwise direction slightly past the required drying time, then back to set the exact time.

You must always terminate a programme with a cool tumble phase. 14 Setting the Timer and starting the Dryer Consult the Drying Guide (on the opposite page) for drying times (times are also shown on the facia panel) and set the Timer by turning it clo[...]

Be careful not to overdry All fabrics contain a little natural moisture even when ‘dry’, and this natural moisture should not be lost if the clothes are to remain soft and fluffy. What’s more, clothes that are subject to an overlong drying programme tend to wrinkle, and consequently need more ironing than usual, which gives you back the unnec[...]

To remove the Filter Simply place your fingers into the section provided at the top of the filter (see diagram below) and pull filter upwards. You can now remove the fluff that has collected on the mesh. Don’t be alarmed at the amount of fluff you may find on the filter; it’s all part of the wearing, washing and drying process. To replace the f[...]
