Manual for T 8823 C

Brief instructions

The headings numbered (1, 2, 3 ...) show the operating sequence and can be used as a brief guide to using your machine.

1 Sort the laundry

Separate the washed laundry and sort it according to:

• the drying level required,
• the type of fibre or weave,
• size,
• the moisture content after spinning.

In this way an even drying result will be achieved.

Make sure that objects, e.g. detergent dispensing balls, have been removed from the laundry. They could melt and cause damage to the dryer or the laundry.

• Check seams and stitching to ensure that padding and linings are intact.
• Remove all objects from pockets such as lighters and matches.
• Fasten duvet covers and pillow cases to prevent small items from being rolled up inside them.
• Fasten zips, hooks and eyes etc.
• Tie fabric belts and apron strings.
• Sew in or remove underwiring from bras.

2 Switch on the tumble dryer

The tumble dryer may be switched on after loading, saving energy as the light will not come on.

• Switch on the dryer by pressing the ▲ button.

3 Load the tumble dryer

• Press the Door button to open the door.
• Load the laundry loosely into the drum.

Do not overload the drum. See the "Programme chart" for recommended loads for each programme.

Overloading can cause unnecessary wear and tear to the laundry and give a disappointing drying result.

• Before closing the door, make sure the fluff filter is correctly positioned in the door.

• Check the laundry is right inside the drum so that it cannot get trapped or damaged when the door is shut.

• Shut the door either with a gentle swing, or lean against it and push it shut.

4 Select a programme

• Select the programme you want. The relevant indicator light will come on. Indicator lights for drying levels or Extra options and times may also be displayed.

Programmes with drying levels Cottons, Minimum iron, Delicates, Proofing, Express, Automatic plus, Denim, Shirts

• Press the button repeatedly until the relevant indicator light comes on (with almost all programmes).

Four drying levels can be selected from Cottons and Express. The selection of the other programmes is either limited or not changeable.

Note

You can extend the range of drying levels for some of the programmes (see "Programmable functions"). Woollens handcare, Gentle smoothing – this programme cannot be changed. Select Cool air/Warm air duration The indicator light for the Delay start button will flash when this function is selected.

• Press the Delay start button until the required time appears in the display.

Selectable functions:

• Cool air: 20 minutes up to 1 hour.
• Warm air: 15 minutes up to 2 hours.

5 Select any Extra options / Delay start

By pressing the relevant button, you can select:

• Low temperature, Buzzer, Delay start (see "Extra options/Delay start").
• Anti-crease (see next page) is always switched on.

However: Delay start is not possible in combination with Warm air/Cool air.

6 Starting the programme

The indicator light for the Start/Stop button will flash when a programme is being selected. The flashing indicates that a programme can be started.

• Press the Start/Stop button.

The Start/Stop button will now light up.

Perfect Dry only flashes/illuminates during programmes with drying levels. It remains dark during time controlled programmes (see "Operating the tumble dryer").

Note: The duration shown in the display is only an estimate and can change.

Before the end of a programme The heating phase is followed by a cooling down phase (Cooling down lights up). The programme is not finished until the cooling down phase has been completed. There is no cooling down phase with Woollens handcare.

7 Remove the laundry when the programme has finished.

0 and Finished will appear in the display to indicate that the programme has finished. The buzzer (if selected) will sound at intervals.

After the programme has finished, the drum will continue to rotate for 2 hours at intervals if the garments are not immediately removed. This reduces creasing.

There is no anti-crease with: Woollens handcare.

• Press the Door button.
• Open the door.

• Remove the laundry.

Check that all items have been removed from the drum. If items are left in the dryer, they could be damaged by overdrying when the dryer is next used.

If the dryer is switched on and the door is opened, the drum lighting will come on. It will go out a few minutes later to save energy.

• Switch off the dryer by pressing the ▲ button.
• Clean the fluff filters.
• Close the door.
• Empty the condensed water container (unless the dryer has been connected for external drainage).
• Check the condenser unit intermittently and clean if necessary (see "Cleaning and care").

Using the Cottons Normal Plus programme is recommended for a mixed cotton load and is the programme used in energy consumption tests to AS/NZS 2442 (Refer to www.energyrating.gov.au website for consumption data).
