Instruction for Use
Hot Tip
Hotpoint Dryers use special humidity sensors which automatically detect
when the load is dry, which helps to save energy and helps improve drying
results. Select from a range of programs and automatic drying levels -
there is no need to check if the clothes are ready, the sensor will do all the
work for you.
There are two different types of Dryer. They all do the same job – dry
your laundry after it has been washed – they just have a different
way of doing it.
Condenser Dryer: The hot moist air from your dryer is
cooled by a blast of cold air and condenses into water which
collects in a container or bottle. This can be avoided by
connecting directly to the drain.
Vented Dryer: The hot moist air from your dryer is pushed
out of the dryer through a large tube fi tted to an external
wall and then released into the outside air. Remember a
good installation of the vent hose is essential to allow your
vented dryer to work effi ciently.
Heat Pump Condenser Dryer Technology: This uses Heat
Pump technology which helps increase the energy effi ciency
and reduce the environmental impact of the Dryer, and also
helps to lower running costs.
1.
Start with a load with minimal amount of residual water. For this you can
use a high spin speed on your washing machine to help get laundry as dry
as possible before drying. This will help you to save time and money.
2.
Sorting your laundry. Separate heavy and light fabrics. Light fabrics,
such as nylon, dry up to two times faster than heavy fabrics such as
denim (cotton). Hotpoint Dryers help take care of your clothes – you can
choose different programs suitable for any type of fabrics.
3.
Empty pockets and check buttons are fastened. Close zips and hooks,
tie loose belts and straps. Do not tumble dry articles that contain rubber
or rubber like materials, plastic fi lms or any other fl ammable objects.
4.
Check the capacity of your Dryer. Make sure the load is adequate to the
capacity of your machine. Do not overload, this could reduce drying effi ciency.
5.
Choose the program more suitable for your laundry. You can choose
amongst daily, extra and exclusive sensors or timed drying programs.
6.
Personalise your drying by choosing the right option, ie high/ low heat
setting, crease care, delay timer, etc).
7.
Remember to clean the fi lter and empty the water container at the end
of the drying cycle. This will help to keep your machine working properly
and effi ciently.
Quick steps for better drying:
Hot Tip
If available on your Hotpoint Dryer use
the Delay Timer option. This helps to
manage your drying when the energy
costs may be lower (i.e. during the
night) if you are using a special tariff
with your Electricity Supplier.
