SmartTouch™ Control Dial SmartTouch™ buttons The smooth, easy clean buttons enable easy selection of options with lights clearly showing the selections you are making.
SORTING AND LOADING When preparing your load there are some important things to consider: Sorting ●● ●● ●● ●● ●● It is best that you sort your garments before placing them into the dryer. Sort into loads of similar items, and loads that will take similar times to dry. Heavier items (eg towels and flannelette sheets) are best dried separately from lightweight items (eg synthetics, polyester-cotton sheets and shirts).
SORTING AND LOADING Before you load ●● ●● ●● Check pockets for items that could damage your clothes or get caught in the dryer. Close zippers, hooks and eyes, and other fastenings (ie fasten the openings of duvet/ doona covers), and remove loose bra wires. These may damage both your dryer and your clothes. Check the lint filter is clean. Loading ●● Garments need to be loaded correctly to minimise creasing and wrinkling, and to ensure the load is dried evenly.
SORTING AND LOADING Drying times ●● ●● ●● Drying very small loads is inefficient. Try to dry medium to large loads. Heavier items (towels and flannelette sheets) will take longer to dry than light items (synthetics and polyester cotton sheets and shirts). Drying times can be reduced by spinning the wash load at the highest spin speed suitable for the load type in your washing machine.
DRYING CYCLES DE7060P model Your dryer has a number of drying cycles to suit your laundry needs. Selecting the most appropriate cycle for each particular load will help ensure you get the best result. MAX.

DRYING CYCLE OPTIONS Timed programmes (Time Dry, Rack Dry, Air Dry) The dryer dries for the selected time regardless of the level of moisture in your clothes. It is important to check the clothes throughout the timed programmes to avoid over drying. Drying cycles All drying cycles default to the recommended options for that cycle based on the average expected load to be dried using that cycle. You can vary the options (eg ‘Dryness Level’, ‘Dry Temp’) to create your desired cycle.
DRYING CYCLE OPTIONS Wrinkle Free If you wish to minimise wrinkling, select one of the ‘Wrinkle Free’ options. At the end of the cycle, the drum will rotate periodically and cool air will be circulated through the load to minimise wrinkling and creasing. This is particularly useful if you cannot remove the items immediately after the cycle ends. ●● ●● There are two wrinkle free options: ‘On’ provides ‘Wrinkle Free’ operation for 1 hour. ‘Extra’ provides ‘Wrinkle Free’ operation for 24 hours.
DRYING CYCLE OPTIONS Delay Start The ‘Delay Start’ option enables you to delay the start of the drying cycle from between 5 minutes and 12 hours. Times you can select are 5 min, 15 min, 30 min, 1 hour, then hourly up to 12 hours. This can be useful to time your drying to finish when you arrive home from work, or to start when power rates are lower. To programme a ‘Delay Start’, simply touch the ‘More’ button to increase the delay time and ‘Less’ button to decrease the time or to turn ‘Delay Start’ off.
CLEANING YOUR DRYER When you have finished using your dryer ●● ●● ●● Unplug the dryer from the power socket. Wipe around the door to remove any remaining condensation and/or foreign matter. Clear the lint filter. Cleaning your dryer Before you start cleaning your dryer, ensure that it is disconnected from the power (ie unplug the dryer from the power socket).
