SPIN HEAT IRON DRY FULL DRY
IMPORTANT INFORMATION: A 10 minute ‘Cool Tumble’ phase at the end of
each drying cycle allows fabrics to gently cool down, minimising creasing.
All fabrics contain a little natural moisture even when ‘dry’, this should not
be lost if the clothes are to remain soft and fluffy. If clothes are subjected
to extreme drying they tend to wrinkle and consequently need more
ironing than usual. As clothes feel damper when warm, allow for this
when removing items before the ‘Cool Tumble’ phase is complete.
This machine incorporates a ‘Dry Spin’ feature, see Automatic Features.
Switch on both the
water and electricity
supply at the mains. Turn the drying dial to
select a suitable drying
time, see chart above. Remove the wet
laundry and
dosing ball (if
used) until the
correct ‘Drying
Weight Load’ is
left in the drum.
Close door by
applying pressure at
the 2 o’clock position. Press ‘ON’ to start the
drying programme.
After a few seconds
the door will lock and
an indicator light will
illuminate throughout
the programme. 1-2 minutes after
completion of the
wash programme
the door locked
indicator light will
go out and the door
can be opened.
Switch ‘OFF’ after
use.
● If your appliance is not permanently
plumbed in, turn on the cold water supply
to the appliance and hook the drain hose
