If there is any doubt about installation, call the national GIAS Service number for advice. Adequate ventilation must be provided in the room where the tumble dryer is located to prevent gases from appliances burning other fuels, including open fires, being drawn into the room during operation of the tumble dryer. Exhaust air must not be discharged into a flue which is used for exhausting fumes from appliances burning gas or other fuels. Check regularly that the air flowing through the dryer is not restricted. To ensure adequate ventilation the space between the bottom of the machine and the floor must not be obstructed. Refit the kickplate. 5. 6. 14 40005100. qxd 17/05/2007 16:15 Page 15 Operation Refer to the fabric labels to select the most suitable programme. If drying delicate items press the `ACRYLIC/SYNTHETIC' button to reduce the heat level. HIGH heat setting LOW heat setting Turn the `DRYING TIME' Selector until the required drying time aligns with the dial. The Fast Iron programme provides a conditioning and anti-crease function. The dryer will heat the load for 8 minutes followed by a 2 minute cool down period and is especially good for garments which may have been left for some time prior to ironing, in a linen basket for example. Garments may also become stiffened when dried outside on a washing line or inside on radiators. The Fast Iron process relaxes the creases in the fabric making ironing quicker and easier. Gently close the door pushing it slowly until you hear the door `click' shut. The load is dried by tumbling in thermostatically controlled warm air. Cool air is used for the last 15 minutes to reduce creasing and cool the load ready for handling. When the program is fully completed the drum will stop rotating and the dial will point to 0.
