Before deciding on the wall mounting site, it is important to check that the electrical lead will reach the wall socket once the dryer is in place. [. . . ] Here you can set the dryer for up to 80 minutes. It can make it difficult to iron and harsher to the touch, as well as wasting energy. During the last 8-12 minutes of each programme, the load is cooled to reduce the risk of creasing.

If the laundry is spun at 1000 rpm or higher the residual dampness will be lower and consequently the drying time can be reduced. -7- Maintenance and cleaning The filters For your tumble dryer to function correctly, the filters need to be cleaned before or after every load dried. Brush the fluff off the fluff filter, which is under the coarse filter (Fig. Sometimes you may need to remove the fluff filter to clean it on both sides. Make sure that you put the fluff filter back correctly after cleaning, before closing the coarse filter. A B Never start the dryer unless the fluff filter is clean and correctly in place, or if the fluff filter is damaged (this could cause overheating). C The condenser As in all types of tumble dryer, the air circulated through the dryer picks up fluff. As a result, some fluff will accumulate in the condenser, so it needs to be cleaned occasionally. Open the door and open the coarse filter upwards. Remove the fluff filter and close the coarse filter again. Grasp the recesses at the top of the condenser with your fingers and use your thumbs to press against the door (Fig. The condenser will come free, allowing you to lift it outwards/upwards. Be careful not to damage the sensitive aluminium section. Turn it upside down and clean it on both sides, using a vacuum cleaner. Remove the red drain plug on the lower edge of the condenser (Fig E). Lay the condenser flat and fill it with water through the filter opening. Now leave the condenser to soak in water for about 5 minutes, then shower both sides with hot water. Don't forget to put back the red drain plug (Fig. Make sure that its base is lined up in the slots in the condenser cavity inside the dryer door. Drying loads which are too small is uneconomical. Fluff The first time you use the tumble dryer, you will probably be surprised at the amount of fluff produced. [. . . ] · PS stands for (moulded) polystyrene, which is used for the sections of packaging needed to cushion the dryer. The cardboard components of the packaging are made from recyclable paper and should be taken to a collection point for recycling. The dryer contains plastic and rubber components. These have identifying marks to show what they are made from, so they can be recycled or disposed of properly at the end of the dryer's life. [. . . ]
