The drum will begin rotating and will stop automatically when your clothes are dry. The drum will 
stop and rotate in the other direction for a short while every few minutes. 
If the door is opened during a cycle the dryer will stop. To restart, close the door and press the 
start button (if fitted).When drying large items such as sheets, we suggest you periodically stop 
the dryer to redistribute the load. 
There is an automatic 12 minute cool down period at the end of every cycle, during which the 
heater is switched off. This helps to minimize creasing, and must always be used fully to avoid 
the risk of fire. 

 

ANY PROBLEMS 

 

If the clothes are not dry after normal drying time: 

  Check that you used the correct heat setting. 

  Check that the lint filter has been cleaned. A blocked filter will restrict the airflow. 

  Check that your dryer is heating - below the door to the left side, should feel warm to the 

touch after the first 10-15 minutes of its programme. 

Failure to heat may indicate the safety cut-out has operated. To reset, simply press the red 
button at the rear of the machine. If it has operated then a sharp “click” will be heard. 
This cut-out only operates if the airflow is severely restricted so make sure the filter is clean, the 
air inlets and outlets at the front and back are not blocked, and that all other restrictions are 
removed before re-starting. 
If the cut-out continues to operate after checking the above points, you should contact your 
service agent. 
Check that the machine has the correct weight load in the drum before stating the appliance. 
If your machine does not work check the following before calling a service engineer: 

  Check that there is a supply of electricity. 

  Check that the door has been properly closed and the machine is switched on (start 

button pressed, if fitted). 

  Check the fuse in the moulded plug.
