Apparently the Hoover 5050ED is a re-badged Whirlpool dryer. Can anyone help me out with some instruction on operating the thing. (I've resorted to simply turning it on and using the defaul drying setting as the additional 3-button selection isn't very intuitive at all. Thanks. (In fact I'd even be happy just using the default setting if I could also turn on the Extra Dry feature).

You can set your dryer to dry clothes automatically.

Just press start and it will dry on the normal temperature until it senses that the clothes are dry.

If it keeps stopping, it means it thinks your load of drying is dry. Check the load and take out any dry clothes before continuing the auto dry.

If you are still unhappy with the auto dry, you can manually select a drying temperature and duration. Press Manual, and press Select until your desired temperature is lit, then press Accept. Then press Select to move the duration, then press Accept once happy with it. Then you can press start and your dryer will carry out those instructions.
