Manual

The TIMER knob sets the drying time: rotate it clockwise, NEVER

COUNTER-CLOCKWISE, until the indictor is pointing to the drying

time you want to select.

The Empty Water indicator light signals that the water container is

full and must be emptied. The light will take a few seconds to go

out after replacing the empty water container, the dryer must be

running for this to happen.

Note: If the water container fills up the indicator lights, the heat is

turned off and your laundry will not dry.

CHOOSING A PROGRAMME

1. Plug the dryer into the electrical socket.

2. Sort your laundry according to fabric type.

3. Open the door and make sure the filter is clean and in place.

4. Load the machine and make sure items are not in the way of the

door seal. Close door.

5. Set the temperature with the HEAT button. High heat for Cotton.

Low heat for delicates, synthetics and acrylics.

During the drying programme, you can check on your laundry

and take out items that are dry while others continue drying.

8. About 10 minutes before the programme is completed it enters

the final COOL TUMBLE phase (fabrics are cooled) which should

always be allowed to complete.

filter. Empty and replace the water container.

Our support team searches for useful product information and answers to frequently asked questions. If you find an inaccuracy in our frequently asked questions, please let us know by using our contact form.

Why is de drum of my dryer larger than that of my washing machine, even though they have the same capacity? Verified

To properly dry laundry, a dryer needs to have air. This needs space and that's why the drum needs to be larger.

What is the difference between a condenser dryer and a vented dryer? Verified

In a condenser dryer the condensed water vapour is drained and collected in an internal reservoir. In a vented dryer the hot, moist air is drained through a hose, for example out of a window. A vented dryer is cheaper to use than a condenser dryer

Can I stack my dryer and washing machine? Verified

In general it is possible to directly stack a dryer and washing machine directly on top of each other. This only works with front loading models. However, it is advisable to use a fitting accessory to do so. This will prevent the machines from vibrating and falling off and also prevents damage to the bottom machine.

Can I connect a dryer to an extension cord? Verified

Appliances that require large amounts of power, like a dryer, can not be connected to all extension cords. See what the power usage of the dryer is, which is indicated in Watt, and check if the extension cord can handle this. There are extension cords with thicker cables that are made to handle larger appliances.

What is the difference in usage between a washer-dryer and a separate washing machine and dryer? Verified

The biggest advantage of a washer-dryer is that it takes less space. However, a separate dryer will be able to dry more than a washer-dryer. A washer-dryer also uses relatively more energy and requires more time.
