Intelligent Care:

Your appliance has an inbuilt feature to prevent it spinning with an unbalanced load, avoiding excessive vibration and prolonging

the life of the appliance.

Pulse Spin:

Helps reduce wear and tear on your laundry.

Pulse spin is an automatic function where a long, steady spin is followed by a 30 second burst at the maximum speed for your

appliance, to enable safer, more efficient water extraction.

Dry Spin:

There will be a 2 minute spin about 20 minutes after the drying programme has started; this improves the drying performance.

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

over the sink to enable to condensing

action to work.

●The dryer is intended

for use only where

water is used for the

cleaning process.

●Be careful not to

touch the drum at

the top as this area

gets hot during

drying.

●On no account

should liquid fabric

Washcare Tips:

Before washing:

●Pre-treat stains.

●Close zips, tie belts, strings etc...

and press studs to prevent

tangling.

●Remove papers or tissues from

pockets.

●Remove sharp objects and coins

from pockets as they could cause

damage to clothes or the

appliance.

●Limit the size of absorbent loads

ie. towels, to 3kg (7lb) to give

good washing/rinsing results.

●Place small items in a wash bag.

●Check wash labels as some items

may require a cool programme.

●Wash non-colourfast woollens or

really dirty laundry separately as

they may affect other items.

●Laundry will not wash properly if

you overload the appliance.

●Laundry without a wash label

should not be machine washed.

or fault.

Did you know that putting one or two

highly absorbent items in your machine

can cause it to become

‘OUT OF BALANCE’.

This happens because the items are

clumping together, retaining large

amounts of water and therefore acting

as a heavy weight in your machine.

When your machine is ‘out of balance’ it

will not spin.

Try adding a large item such as a

bedding sheet into the load. This will

not absorb as much water and will help

to spread the weight in the drum.
