How the dryer works
1
Air is drawn from the room through
the bottom of the machine.
An electric heater heats the air
passing into the drum.
Warm air enters the drum through
holes in the back and dries the
washing. The drum rotates, and the
two paddles prevent garments from
becoming tangled.
The air passes through the tint filter
and the front of the drum and enters
the fan.
Air is forced out through the outlet
through a fixed duct (see page 10)
The temperature remains at
approximately 40° C (104° F)
as long as the clothes are
moist. When the clothes dry,
the temperature rises and the
heater element is automatically
switched off at the preset
temperature. The air that is not
heated is then drawn through
the drum and coots the clothes
for about 15 minutes.
The thermostats which switch
off the heating at normal and
low temperature 60° C (140°
F), 45° C(113° F) are fitted
next to the fan. There are
atso two thermostats next to
the heater eiement. One
switches off the heater
element if the temperature
becomes too high and the
other switches off the
compiete tumbie dryer if a
fauit occurs. This overheating
protection, which is fitted at
the rear of the machine, can
be reset when the
temperature has faiien. Refer
to the section entitled "If the
machine does not work"
(page 5).
