[. . . ] Switch off electricity and remove plug from socket. WARNING: WHEN SWITCHING ON OR OFF, PLEASE ENSURE THAT YOUR HANDS ARE DRY The `Cool Tumble' phase About 10 minutes before the programme is completed, the heating elements will be switched off and the programme enters the final `Cool Tumble' phase. 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 to 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 are to be fully dried. ) You will need to press the start button after closing the door to re-start the programme. See section `The Controls'. 8 The Controls Heat Selection Switch Empty water light Start switch Setting the timer Timer Control The drying time for both heat settings is controlled by the timer. All you have to do is turn the Timer Control clockwise until the required time appears in line with the indicator. NEVER WIND THE TIMER CONTROL ANTI-CLOCKWISE. The "Guide to Drying Times" section will tell you how much time you'll need for various loads. To select high heat (Cottons), the Heat Selection switch must be IN. To select Low heat (Acrylics and Synthetics) the Heat Selection switch must be OUT. See section "Guide to Drying Times". Selecting the required Heat Setting Starting the Dryer Press and release the START button to commence a drying program (The drying time must have been selected first). NOTE: If the door is opened during a programme the Dryer will automatically stop. To continue the programme after closing the door, the START button must be pressed. Empty Water Light This light will glow when the water container is full. You should not wait for this light to glow before emptying the water container, but empty it after each load (see section "Emptying the Water Container"). NOTE: When the light glows you must stop the dryer and empty the water container. If the water light glows during a drying cycle the timer will advance to the Cool Tumble Phase without drying the load. The light will take approximately 10 seconds to go out after replacing the empty container. 9 Sorting your laundry 1. Always separate laundry into the correct fabric groups before washing and drying. See that all zips are closed, hooks and eyes are fastened and belt, strings etc. are tied loosely in bows, you will normally have done this for each item before the washing stage. It is important to extract as much water as possible from each item before drying. WARNING: CLOTHES SHOULD NEVER BE LOADED DRIPPING WET 4. Make sure that the items to be dried are suitable for tumble drying, or are not of a type requiring `special attention' (see"Wash Care Labels" section).
