GB Wool Programme This programme is specific for items that withstand tumble drying and are labelled with the symbol. It is suitable for loads of up to 1 kg (about 3 jerseys). We recommend turning the garments inside out before drying them. Garments dried with this programme are usually ready to be worn, although the edges of heavier garments may be slightly damp. Leave them to dry naturally, as an additional drying process may damage them.

Press this button to select the low temperature setting; the light next to the button will switch on. Activating this option will increase the duration of the cycles. Energy Saver An option designed to optimise the results when drying small loads (cotton loaded to a max. of 2 kgs. and synthetic load to a max. of 1 kg.

Troubleshooting If you feel that the dryer is not working properly, consult the following troubleshooting suggestions before contacting the Technical Assistance Centre (see Assistance). GB The dryer does not start. • The plug has not been inserted far enough into the socket to make contact. • There has been a power cut. • The fuse has burned out. Try connecting another appliance to the same socket. • If an extension cord is used, try connecting the dryer plug directly into the socket.
Service GB Heat Pump System This dryer is fitted with a sealed heat pump system to dry your clothes. To operate, the heat pump contains fluorinated greenhouse gases ( F gases) which are covered by the Kyoto Protocol. These F gases are contained in a hermetically sealed unit. This sealed unit contains 0,29 kg of the F gas R134a which acts as a refrigerant. GWP = 1430 (0.4 t C02). If the sealed unit fails then it must be replaced by a new sealed unit. Contact your nearest service centre for advise.
