MACHINE FUNCTION

A cut-out on the element housing, cuts the electricity Live supply to the element, if the air temperature

in the housing becomes too high due to a restriction in the air flow, e.g a blocked filter. The cut-out

automatically resets when the air temperature drops to an acceptable level and cycles if the fault

persists.

A second 'one shot' cut-out, mounted alongside the 'auto reset' cut-out, is fitted as a safety device to

break the element Neutral connection, if the air temperature reaches an unsafe level due to failure of

the 'auto reset' cut-out.

There are two thermostats in the front air duct when only one is in use at any one time depending on

which programme is selected. These sense the exhaust temperature rise when the load becomes dry

and energise the timer motor on the main timer. This allows it to advance to cool run.

AUTOMATIC DRYING

To work correctly High Heat has to be enabled and between 3 Kg to 6 Kg of Cottons dried. If smaller or

delicate loads are dried using the automatic setting, erratic results will be achieved.

Automatic Drying Explanation

NOTE: - The heat switch must be set to the high position otherwise there will be no circuit to the timer

motor or heater when the exhaust thermostat signals that the clothes are dry.

continued on next page.....

Cold air is drawn into the dryer cabinet interior through

louvres in the cabinet base, passes through the large hole in

the inner back panel adjacent to the fan and is driven through

the element housing on the inner back panel.

After passing through the element windings and through

holes in the drum back plate into the drum interior, the now

warm air is driven through the load to the front of the drum.

A webbing seal, fixed to the inside of the inner back panel,

prevents warm air being driven into the cabinet interior.

As the drum revolves, the load is tumbled through the warm

air stream, that extracts moisture from the damp fabric.

The now moist and cooled air passes through the filter in the

air duct on the back of the front panel, where any fluff picked

up from the load is removed.

The air then travels through the front to rear air duct, leaving

the dryer at the rear outlet.

If required, a vent hose may be attached to the outlet, to take

exhaust air away from the dryer.

Sequence of Automatic Drying System

• First 20 minutes, full heat controlled by the timer. This is to pre-heat the clothes and drum before

the exhaust thermostats take control.

• The timer moves to its next cam position. The timer motor is now disconnected and the dryer

tumbles and heats.

• When the clothes are dry, the exhaust thermostat opens. This provides a Live supply to the timer

motor. The timer moves to the next cam position.

• 5 minutes of tumbling with the lower element only. The timer moves to the next cam position.

• Finally 7.5 minutes of tumble with no heat.

times ( see Laundry).

1. Select required heat setting HIGH

HEAT or LOW HEAT by pressing

the HEAT button.

2. Position the PROGRAMS knob on

the desired time.

3. Press the START button.

Easy Iron Program

Easy Iron is a short 10 minute program (8 minutes of heat followed by a 2 minute Air Flu period) which us the

bers of clothing that have been left in the same position/location for an extended period of time. The cycle relaxes

the bers and makes them easier to iron and fold.

!Easy Iron is not a drying program and should not be used for wet articles of clothing.

For best results:

1. Do not load more than the maximum capacity.

These numbers refer to the dry weight:

2. Unload the dryer immediately after the end of the program, hang, fold or iron the articles and put them away.

Should this not be possible, repeat the program.

The Easy Iron eect varies from one fabric to the next. It works very well on traditional fabrics like Regular Cottons

or Regular Cotton mix, and less well on acrylic bers.

1. Select HIGH HEAT by pressing the

HEAT button.

2. Position the PROGRAMS knob on

COMPONENT DESCRIPTION

CONSOLE PANEL

This panel contains the user controls, which consist of a timer knob, for selecting the timed and sensed

drying periods and a push switch for heat selection.

TIMER

The timer system is made up from two timers, one mounted on the console and one in the base of the

machine.

Timer 1 controls the motor and heater. This has a spindle to which a knob is attached toenable the user

to select the required programme. Timer 2 controls the motor reversing; this is mounted on the kickstrip.

The dryer must be set to the high heat position for the Eco drying system to operate failure to do so will

cause the timer to advance to cool run without drying the load.

Timer 1 - Programme Timer

Mounted on the console, the timer is used to control the motor and heating during the drying

programmes. The timer incorporates a timed cycle with 170 minutes of heated drying followed by a 7.5

minute cool run.

One ’Eco' programme is incorporated with an automatic programme to provide heated drying until a

thermostat operates (when the load is dry), the timer then advances to a 7.5 minute cool run.

The cam of this timer is held on the heated part of the cycle by cutting the circuit to its motor.

The dryer motor continues to be reversed by timer 2. When the load is dry, a thermostat in the front duct

of the dryer operates which powers the motor of timer 1 and this allows the timer to advance to

cool run. Timer 2 reverses the motor direction approximately every 2.5 minutes.

An optional crease removal programme is provided, which consists of 7.5 minutes of heat and motor

followed by a cool tumble period of 2.5 minutes.

Timer 2 - Reversing Timer

Mounted on the base panel, the timer is used to control the reversal of the motor during the drying

programmes. The timer reverses the motor direction every 2.5 minutes.

HEAT SWITCH

Normally open push-push switch. The switch locates into the facia moulding and it allows the user to

choose high or low heat settings. By consulting the wiring diagram, it can be seen that by operating this

switch, either all or half of the heater unit is selected.

For full heat switch is in the IN position and low heat in the OUT position.

High heat must be selected for the auto-drying programmes to operate, if low heat is selected the dryer

will advance to cool run without drying the load.

DOOR

A plastic moulded chassis with a glass bowl retained by plastic mouldings.

DOOR INTERLOCK

Bitron Door Lock Operation

Door Open - Dryer Off

Trying to turn the machine on with the door open, the solenoid is unable to operate the bistable cam to

close the contacts, because it is locked by the latch.

Door Closed - Dryer Off

Closing the door, the latch (now rotated by the door hook) allows the movement of the bistable cam, but

the dryer is still OFF until the solenoid is energised.

Door Closed - Dryer On

Turning the machine on with the dryer door closed, the solenoid pushes the bistable cam (freed by the

latch) allowing the closing of the contacts.

Door Opened During Drying

When the door is opened during drying, the dryer will turn off automatically by the latch in its back

rotation, this pushes back the bistable cam towards the solenoid, opening the contacts.

Re-closing the door will not restart the machine until the machine is turned back on.

Safety Function

If the latch is accidentally rotated by the customer with the door open, the machine will not start. Without

the latch in position, the latch rotates 30% further and sets the bistable cam in its safety position. The

safetypositionwill not allow the machine tostart. Thedoorwillneedtobemanually repositioned to reset

by a Service Engineer.

DRUM

The drum comprises of a stainless steel wrapper with a zinc-coated front and rear body and two

removable plastic lifters. The rear of thedrum is perforatedto allow the passage of air. Fixed to the rear

pressing is a support shaft, which runs in a bearing located in the rear panel of the dryer.

A drive pin and collar on the drum shaft prevents forward thrust during use. The large front flanged

aperture rotates on bearing pads.

HEATER ELEMENT

The element comprises of front and rear pressings spaced apart with Mica type insulating material.

Through the insulating pieces are 4 runs of coiled resistance wire supported from end to end by

insulating material. High temperature insulated wires are crimped to the ends of the resistance strips to

complete the circuit.

Note: Heater assemblies manufactured by Blasi and DBK are interchangeable if replaced as an

assembly. Both types are used in production. The service replacement type is a DBK heater.

The thermostats are NOT interchangeable - DBK uses a 120°C, and Blasi uses a 106°C device.

The correct thermostat kit MUST ALWAYS be fitted - depending on the heater fitted.

The heaters can be identified by the appearance of the indentations in the rear cover - refer to the

photos below.

SAFETY CUT-OUT (BLUE SPOT)

This device is a disc type thermostat set to operate at 150°C it is used as a safety device. It is positioned

above the element, to the right of the cycling thermostat on the element housing. If this device fails it

cannot be reset.

IF THIS DEVICE OPERATES, IT SHOULD ALWAYS BE REPLACED TOGETHER WITH THE

CYCLING THERMOSTAT (see next paragraph).

CYCLING THERMOSTAT

The cycling thermostat is mounted adjacent to the safety cut-out, is designed to open at 120°C (DBK)

or 106°C (Blasi). It limits the temperature of the heat entering the drum.

ECO THERMOSTATS

These are of self-resetting closed disc construction, mounted in the front air duct. They control the timer

motor on timer 1. When the load is dry, the selected thermostat operates and powers the timer motor;

this allows the timer to advance to cool run. The Full load thermostat (E) is designed to open at 55°C

and the half load (e) is designed to open at 60°C.
