It consists of a period of heating followed by a short cool tumble period (as detailed below). iii) Timed Drying To set the required time, all you have to do is turn the timer control clockwise until the required time appears in line with the indicator. The chart in the section "Guide to Drying Times" will tell you how much time you'll need for various loads. This programme is particularly useful in cases where a damp load is required for ironing or LOW heat drying is required and also for small loads. About 10 minutes before the programme is completed, the heating elements are switched off and the programme enters the final `Cool Tumble" phase. By opening the door the dryer will stop and you can check the dryness of the load as often as you wish and if you want to remove (or add) some items before they are fully dry. (This is particularly useful for a mixed load where you want to iron some items, but others are to be fully dried). After this cycle, the ready signal (buzzer) will sound (if selected) to remind you that the clothes are ready to take out. To cancel, turn the timer to 0 or press the option button (to its OUT position). We recommend that the clothes Are removed immediately this programme ends to minimise creasing. 13 Sorting your laundry 1. Always separate laundry into the correct fabric groups before washing and drying. See that all zips are closed, hooks and eyes are fastened and belt, strings etc. are tied loosely in bows, you will normally have done this for each item before the washing stage. It is important to extract as much water as possible from each item before drying. Make sure that the items to be dried are suitable for tumble drying, or are not of a type requiring `special attention' (see"Wash Care Labels" section). [. . . ] Clean exterior metal and plastic surfaces with a damp cloth or silicon polish only. Regularly check and clean if necessary, the vent hose and any permanent venting fixture to ensure that there has been no accumulation of fluff or lint during the drying process. Do not use abrasive cleaners, scouring agents, acids, chlorine bleach or metal polish to clean any part of the machine. Clean fluff from the area behind the front venting adaptor fitted at the lower left hand corner of the front panel (not fitted to rear venting only models). [. . . ]
