[. . . ] q Allow the air inlet at the back of the dryer, the air outlet or vent hose to be obstructed. q Direct the vent hose outlet towards the air intake at the back of the machine. q Allow the tumble dryer to recycle exhaust air. q Switch the machine off leaving a hot load in the drum. [. . . ] The "Guide To Drying Times" section will tell you how much time you'll need for various loads. 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, the dryer will stop and you can check the dryness of the load a often as you wish and, if you want, remove (or add) 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). We recommend that the clothes are removed immediately after this programme to minimise creasing. The Cool Tumble phase 10 The Controls - Reverse (2-way Tumble models) Heat Switch (OUT low heat, IN high heat) Indicator Timer control Turn the timer clockwise to select the required drying time. 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. This operation also starts the dryer, provided the door is closed and the machine is plugged in. The "Guide To Drying Times" section will tell you how much time you'll need for various loads. 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). Maximum load size Your dryer will hold a load of 5kg (11lb) dry weight of natural fabrics. if you are drying items of man-made fibres (synthetic or acrylics), the maximum load should not exceed 3kg (6. 6lb) dry weight. This difference is that man-made fibres require more space to tumble-dry without creasing. WARNING: DO NOT OVERLOAD AS THIS COULD RESULT IN REDUCED DRYING PERFORMANCE AND A POSSIBLE FIRE HAZARD. Typical load To help you estimate how many items it takes to make up a drying load, the charts below show the approximate weights of some everyday washing items.

If this happens simply give them an additional short period of drying to finish them off. 14 Wash Care Labels Most of today's fabrics can be tumble dried in your Dryer with no trouble at all, but there are certain fabric finishes which should be dried away from direct heat. The majority of garments now have wash-care labels on them, giving full washing and drying instructions. These should always be followed carefully especially when you are drying something for the first time.
