DO NOT ALLOW CLOTHES, TOWELS ETC, TO HANG DOWN THE FRONT OF THE DRYER INTO THE AIRSTREAM. THIS OBSTRUCTS THE AIR FLOW AND MAY DAMAGE YOUR DRYER. DO NOT OPERATE THE DRYER IN AN ENCLOSED ENVIRONMENT.

NOTE: The dryer is only intended for drying articles which have been well washed in water and detergent and have been well rinsed and spun. 1. It is best to sort everything into fabric groups. It is very important to follow carefully each garment manufacturer’s washing and drying instructions, as given on the Care Label attached to the garment.
Making up Loads Clothes should be sorted into loads of similar fabrics before drying. Cotton which needs ironing can be dried to a suitable dampness. Towels and other cotton items which do not need ironing can be fully dried and these will be ready to wear or store as soon as they are taken from the dryer.
● Woollens. Woollen items need as much care in drying as they do in washing. The movement of the tumble-drying action causes the woollen fibre to shrink and distort (see below). ● Garments with the ITCL code - Do not tumble dry. ● Large bulky items eg, continental quilts, sleeping bags, pillows, cushions, double blankets and large bedspreads.
Remove the items from the Dryer as soon as they reach ironing dampness. If they are over-dried, the starch will powder, leaving the fabric limp – which rather defeats the purpose of the exercise! Fa.
Timer Control – Model TS13 To operate the dryer, close the door and turn the timer control from the zero position in a clockwise direction slightly past the required drying time, then back to set the exact time. The timer can be set to any time up to 120 minutes and can be reset at any time as required to increase or reduce the time to dry.
and reduces the temperature of the load. Never switch off the Dryer leaving a hot load in the drum. You must always terminate a programme with a cool tumble phase.
Be careful not to overdry All fabrics contain a little natural moisture even when ‘dry’, and this natural moisture should not be lost if the clothes are to remain soft and fluffy.
To remove the Filter Simply place your fingers into the section provided at the top of the filter (see diagram below) and pull filter upwards. You can now remove the fluff that has collected on the mesh. Don’t be alarmed at the amount of fluff you may find on the filter; it’s all part of the wearing, washing and drying process.
Your Hotpoint Tumble Dryer needs very little attention. The following simple steps will keep it performing well. When finished. Switch off electricity and remove plug, close the door. After each load. Turn the drum by hand to check that small items like handkerchiefs do not get missed.
If something goes wrong ... First, don’t panic! There may be nothing wrong at all. Look for your problem below, then check the things we suggest. More often than not, this will give you the answer to your problem, and you’ll be able to carry on without having to telephone your Hotpoint Service Office.
