Turn the timer clockwise to select the required drying time.
The timer controls the drying time for both heat settings. All you have to do is
turn the Timer Knob clockwise slightly past the required time and then back to
the required time.
Do not rotate the knob beyond 120 (maximum drying time), or past the zero
stop. If you have selected more time than you required, turn the knob anti-
clockwise, to select the correct time required.
This operation also starts the dryer, provided the door is closed and the
machine is plugged in. The “Guide To Drying Times” section will tell you how
much time you’ll need for various loads.
Turn the timer clockwise to select the required drying time.

much time you’ll need for various loads.
The button is ‘OUT’ for LOW heat and ‘IN’ for HIGH heat.
The choice of FULL HEAT or LOW HEAT depends upon the fabric you wish to
dry (see section, ‘Sorting your Laundry’)
About 10 minutes before the programme is completed, the heating elements
will be switched off, and the programme enters the final ‘Cool Tumble’ phase.
During this phase, the fabric is cooled. You should always allow the dryer to
complete this phase.
By opening the door, the dryer will stop and you can check the dryness of the
load as often as you wish and, if you want to remove (or add) some items
before they are fully dry. (This is particularly useful for a mixed load where
you want to iron some items,but others to be fully dried).
We recommend that the clothes are removed immediately the programme is
finished to minimise creasing.
