Setup Instructions

Follow these steps to set up your clothes airer:

1. Unfold the Airer: Gently pull the sides of the airer outwards from its folded position. The 'concertina' design will begin to expand.
2. Engage Locking Mechanism: As you expand the airer, ensure the top bars are stabilized. Locate the locking mechanisms on the side supports. Push the supports upwards until they click and lock into place. This secures the airer in its open, stable position.
3. Verify Stability: Once locked, gently test the airer to ensure it is stable and all locking points are engaged before placing any laundry on it.

Operating Instructions

Using your BLACK+DECKER clothes airer is straightforward:

1. Place Laundry: Distribute your laundry evenly across the drying bars. Avoid concentrating heavy items on one side to maintain balance.
2. Extend for More Space: If you require additional drying space, the airer can be extended. Gently pull the top sections outwards from both sides. The airer extends from its compact width to a maximum of 76cm, providing up to 7.5 meters of drying line.
3. Drying Capacity: The airer can hold up to 7kg of washing. Ensure you do not exceed this weight limit.
4. Folding for Storage: To fold the airer, disengage the locking mechanisms by pushing them down. Then, gently push the sides inwards until the airer collapses into its compact form.

Maintenance

To ensure the longevity of your clothes airer:

• Cleaning: Wipe down the airer with a damp cloth and mild detergent as needed. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the powder-coated steel finish.
• Storage: When not in use, fold the airer to its compact size and store it in a dry place to prevent rust or damage.
• Inspection: Periodically check all joints and moving parts to ensure they are functioning correctly and are free from obstruction.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues with your clothes airer, consider the following:

• Airer is unstable: Ensure all locking mechanisms are fully engaged. Check that the airer is placed on a flat, even surface.
• Difficulty extending/folding: Check for any obstructions in the sliding mechanisms. Ensure the locking mechanisms are disengaged before folding.
• Reduced drying efficiency: Ensure clothes are not overcrowded on the bars. Adequate airflow is essential for efficient drying.
