Resumen del manual
If this is your first dryer you will soon be appreciating the convenience of tumble drying and the advantages to your clothes and household linen of not being subjected to the harsh overdrying effects of the sun. Your clothes will feel softer, retain their shape better, and will require less ironing. If this is not your first dryer, we are confident you will appreciate the technological advancements that make drying clothes more efficient and easier on your clothes. Many people are reluctant to use a dryer because they believe they are expensive to run. True enough, sunshine is free, but we don't always have sunshine and the benefits to you and your clothes can make machine drying worthwhile. To demonstrate the cost of drying we will use a 2.5kg clothes load. 1 Sheet 1 Tablecloth 2 Business Shirts 2 Bath Towels 3 T-shirts 2 Singlets 2 Pillowcases 1 Pair Underpants This load was subjected to a high speed spin (1000rpm) and dried in an Electronic dryer on dryness level 4. The load took 60 minutes to dry. COST TO DRY: For example if power costs 10 cents/unit, the load will cost approximately 15 cents to dry (1.48 units x 10c). Check with your local Electrical Supply Authority for domestic tariff. Before using your dryer ensure you have: — The correct installation for your dryer type. The Compact Dryer is front venting dryer. The Dualcare and Electronic Dryers are rear venting dryers. — Read the Safety and Installation Instructions.

For Electronic and Dualcare Dryers make sure the air outlet has been either: — Externally vented or — Internally vented with a Vent Deflector fitted, (refer Installation section for venting options) For Compact Dryer — Fit the plastic spacers provided. This ensures the air inlet is not up against the wall, (refer Installation section) — Minimum clearance needed from the wall is 50 mm. The lint produced in the drying process can become a fire hazard if it is allowed to accumulate in or around your dryer. Accumulated lint can also reduce the efficiency of your dryer, causing longer drying times which increases power consumption. Never run your dryer unless the airflow system is free from obstruction. Clean lint filter before every load (refer opposite page). Ensure the area around the dryer is clear of lint. At regular intervals have the interior of your dryer cleaned of any accumulated lint. This must be done by a qualified person for electrical safety. This dryer has been designed for domestic use only not for commercial applications where there may be increased lint accumulation or flammable materials in the atmosphere or clothes load. The air inlet of your dryer must be kept clear at all times. Use your dryer to dry fabrics washed in water only. Do not dry garments soaked in drycleaning fluid or clothes that have been washed with any flammable solution. Never dry rubber articles, fibreglass, or any plastic items or film e.g. plastic lined tablecloths and babys bibs. CLEANING THE LINT FILTER Clean your lint filter before every load. Electronic & Dualcare Dryers Your lint filter is located in the door opening. 1. Remove the lint filter, open it out and wipe clean with your hand. 2. Close the lint filter and place back in opening. Compact Dryer Your lint filter is located on the door of the dryer behind the directional outlet grill. ~\. Hold the hub of the outlet grill and pull outwards. 2. Turn the grill around and remove lint from the filter by wiping clean with your hand. 3. Also remove any lint on the perforated metal screen on the door. 4. To replace the grill, locate the hub over the boss in the centre of the door and push firmly. Electronic & Dualcare Dryers Do not clean your lint filter by vacuuming or wetting it, as this may block the fine pores essential for maximum airflow. Compact Dryer 3 SORTING & LOADING In order to achieve both optimum drying performance and efficiency, clothes should be sorted for the dryer according to how long they take to dry. The simplest way to do this is to sort your wash into two categories. 1. The heavier garments that take longer to dry e.g. towels, T-shirts, flannelette sheets. 2. The light garments that dry quickly, e.g. cotton/ polyester shirts and sheets, synthetics. By sorting your clothes in this way, you are: Separating lint givers from lint collectors. Ensuring against uneven drying by collectively treating garments that take similar times to dry. Minimising drying times because you aren't over-drying some items while others are still damp. This is perhaps the simplest way to organise your washing, however, there are other ways: You may wish to separate your delicates and sy...
