Exhaust air must not be discharged into a flue which is used for exhausting fumes from appliances burning gas or other fuels. Check regularly that the air flowing through the dryer is not restricted. Check the fluff filter after use, and clean, if necessary. The inlet and outlets should be kept free from obstructions. To ensure adequate ventilation the space between the bottom of the machine and the floor must not be obstructed. There should be a gap of at least 12mm between the machine and any obstructions. Prevent items from falling or collecting behind the dryer as these may obstruct the air inlet and outlet. NEVER install the dryer up against curtains. Installation of the Discharge Hose It is essential to use a venting hose to carry the hot moist air away from the dryer unless the dryer is situated in a open space with a good air flow around it. Snap the filter together and push back into place. Filter Care Indicator Lights when the filter needs cleaning. If the laundry is not drying check that the filter is not clogged. The indicator will also light when the venting hose is blocked or kinked. 12 40005135. qxd 25/07/2007 14:41 Page 13 Selecting the Programme The Hoover Sensor Dry machine gives many options for drying the laundry to suit all circumstances. The table below lists the programmes and the function of each programme. Note: The sensor may not detect a small load of small articles. For small loads and separate items or pre-dried fabrics with low moisture content, use the timed programmes. Set the programme between 30 and 75 minutes depending on the load size and dryness required, and select high or low heat depending upon the fabric type. If the sensor does not detect the item the dryer will only operate for 10 minutes before going into cooldown. If the load is too large or too wet to tumble dry the dryer will automatically go into cooldown after 185 minutes. Programme Bone Dry Extra Dry Cupboard Dry Iron Dry Description Select the degree of dryness that you require. This ranges from Bone Dry for bath towels and bathrobes, through Cupboard Dry for items that will be put away without ironing, to the programme that leaves the laundry suitable for ironing. A gentle programme specially created to get woollens softer after air-drying. [. . . ] Check using another appliance such as a table lamp.
