With 15 programmes to choose from, including a special baby clothes cycle and an easy-iron setting, the Hotpoint TVFS73BGP vented tumble dryer is ideal for young and medium-sized families. It has a 7kg capacity, comes in a classic white finish and has a B rating for energy efficiency.

Fabric care
Designed to protect your garments using the latest care technology, the dryer features an innovative wave drum that lifts clothes softly on a cushion of air to help maintain their natural softness and colour.

Automatic operation
The appliance also includes a sensor drying option, which enables you to set and forget the dryer in the knowledge that it will dry clothes to the level you specify. You can choose between three different degrees of dryness or you can simply set the time of the cycle in 15-minute steps.

Special programmes
The dryer offers a special baby clothes cycle that uses a constant heat to maintain a small level of moisture, leaving delicate clothes super soft. It also has a fibre care option, which automatically adjusts settings so that the lowest temperature is used longer, to ensure a thorough but gentle dry. There’s also a useful refresh cycle - a 20-minute cool treatment programme - that will revive clothes that haven’t been worn in a while.

Automatic operation
Using the machine's delay timer, you can set a drying cycle to start at the time that suits you, up to nine hours ahead. The dryer also features a reverse tumble action to ensure that your clothes don’t tangle up, dry evenly and look better longer. The appliance has a child lock and there's a simple procedure to prevent tampering with programme settings.

Venting
It is recommended that the dryer venting hose is connected to an outlet near the tumble dryer. If the hose cannot be permanently connected to a wall or window ventilation hole, it can be passed through a partially-opened window when the dryer is in use.
