Drying Guide
Approximate drying time in minutes.
All fabrics contain a little natural moisture even when ‘dry’ and this
natural moisture should not be lost if the clothes are to remain soft
and fluffy.
Clothes that are dried for too long tend to wrinkle and will need more
ironing than usual, giving you extra work that the Dryer was designed
to remove. If the room in which the dryer is situated is cold e.g.
during cold weather, the drying times will be longer.
It is also worth bearing in mind that clothes feel damper when they
are still warm. You should allow for this when removing items before
the programme has completed the ‘Cool Tumble’ phase.
Your Tumble Dryer needs very little attention. The following simple
steps will keep it performing well.
Switch off electricity and remove plug.
Always clean the filter and turn the dryer by hand to check that small
items like handkerchiefs do not get missed.
Clean exterior metal and plastic surfaces with a damp cloth or silicon
polish only. Regularly check and clean if necessary, the vent hose
and any permanent venting fixture to ensure that there has been no
accumulation of fluff or lint during the drying process.
Abrasive cleaners, scouring agents, chlorine bleach or metal polish
to clean any part of the machine. These could damage the machine.
Your tumble dryer uses special bearing components. Lubrication by
the user is not necessary and must not be attempted.
We strongly recommend that all appliances are regularly checked for
electrical and mechanical safety.
