How to Operate Your Dryer
Preparation: Plug in the dryer. Open the loading door and place laundry inside without jamming. Close the door securely. Select the desired programme using the On/Off/Programme selection knob. Press the Start/Pause button to begin.
During Operation: Do not open the door unnecessarily. If needed, press Start/Pause to pause, open the door, add/remove laundry, then press Start/Pause to resume. Avoid adding laundry after the program has started to prevent dampness and increased cycle time/energy consumption.
Changing Programmes: You can change the programme by turning the knob and pressing Start/Pause.
Cancelling: Turn the On/Off/Cancel knob to cancel the programme. Be aware the drum may be hot.
End of Programme: The dryer will signal the end of the cycle. Remove laundry promptly to prevent wrinkles. The anti-wrinkle function will tumble laundry for 2 hours if left inside. Turn off the dryer by setting the knob to On/Off.
Maintenance: Clean the lint filter after each drying cycle. Clean the condenser periodically and the water tank if used.
