[. . . ] If you pre-select the feature, during the cool down period, your dryer will draw in air from the outside giving the load a smell and feel similar to that of line drying. The dryer can also be used to give your laundry a quick 20 minute airing. Due to the unique nature of the product we advise that the dryer is not used in Fresh Air mode when there are unpleasant odours outside. 2 Contents Page Introduction For your safety Electrical Requirements Features - Get to know the main parts of your Dryer Where to put and vent your Dryer How to use your Dryer Sorting your laundry Items not suitable for Tumble drying Items requiring special attention How to remove and clean the Fluff Filter The Controls Guide to Drying times Caring for your Dryer If something goes wrong If it still won't work Key Contacts 2 4-5 6 7 8-9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 back page Retention of this Instruction Book This Instruction Book must be kept handy for reference as it contains important details on the safe and proper use of the appliance.

WARNING: WHEN SWITCHING ELECTRICITY ON OR OFF, PLEASE ENSURE THAT YOUR HANDS ARE DRY. 2. Sort your laundry (see section "Sorting Your Laundry") 3. Check that the fluff filter is clean (see section "How to remove and clean the fluff filter"). 4. Load the dryer, placing the clothes carefully in the drum pushing them well towards the back and away from the door seal. Select the relevant heat setting (see section "The Controls"). Button OUT LOW HEAT 6. Blankets (and Garments) made from Acrylic fibres (e. g. Acilan, Courtelle, Orion and Dralon) must be dried with special care on Low heat setting. Overdrying should be avoided to ensure heat creasing does not occur. Your dryer will cope with such clothes very well, but you should always read the manufacturer's drying instructions attached to the garment before you begin. Starched articles should be dried together in the same load to avoid the distribution of starch to non-starched items. You should use a slightly heavier starch solution than you would when drying the items on the washing line. Make sure that as much of the solution is removed from the load as possible before placing it in the Dryer. Remove the items from the dryer as soon as they reach ironing dampness. If they are overdried the starch will powder, leaving the fabric limp - which rather defeats the purpose of the exercise!To make sure all your tumble dried clothes come out really fresh and soft we recommend you use a liquid fabric conditioner in the final rinse of your wash. A liquid fabric conditioner restores bounce and softness and helps eliminate static cling. [. . . ] Problem `It won't start' Check these things first 1.
