Advice and tips before you tumble-dry

Here are some tips that may help you before

you begin tumble-drying.

Have the clothes been spun?

Items to be tumble-dried should be spun at

1000 rpm or faster. Higher spin speeds save

energy and reduce drying time.

Materials that can be tumble-dried

This symbol means that the material is

suitable for tumble-drying. Fabrics best suited

to tumble-drying are cotton fabrics, terry cloth

and synthetic ﬁbres. Garments will be softer and

lighter when tumbled than when hung out to dry.

NOTE!

The tumble dryer does not cause any signiﬁcant

wear on fabrics. The lint that collects in the lint

ﬁlter consists of dust and ﬁbre residues formed

when the items are used.

Materials that must not be tumble-

dried

This symbol means that the material is not

suitable for tumble-drying. Certain materials

may melt or become a ﬁre hazard if exposed to

heat, and others can lose their shape or shrink.

And do not tumble-dry

• materials labelled "Do not dry near heat".

• garments that have been dry-cleaned at

home.

• plastic foam.

• ﬁbreglass material.

• wool must not be tumble-dried because of

the risk of felting.

Static electricity

To reduce the risk of static electricity in the

laundry after tumble drying you can:

• Use fabric softener when washing.

• Wait ﬁve minutes after the drying program

ends before opening the door and removing

the laundry from the dryer.

NOTE!

You can stop the tumble dryer by pressing the

Stop button for three seconds or by opening the

door. In both cases the programme is stopped

and starts from the beginning if restarted.

If you do not want to restart the programme then

immediately remove all laundry and spread it

out to allow the heat to dissipate.

Below are step-by-step instructions to help you

achieve the best possible tumble-drying results.

1Sort your fabrics

You will achieve the most uniform drying

results if the items are made of the same

type of material. Do up zips and buttons, fasten

belts, sort the items and adjust the load and

temperature.

Do not overload the drum!

Overloading the dryer will result in poor drying

results and wrinkling.

2Press the main power switch

until the display lights.

3Open the door, load the items

and then close the door

Make sure that objects e.g. detergent

dispensing balls, have been removed from the

laundry. They could melt and cause damage to

the dryer or the laundry.

To save energy, always observe the maximum

load for each programme (see Program chart).

Tumble drying

Guidelines as to what speciﬁc

The Auto extra dry, Auto dry and Auto normal

Normal temperature but also low temperature

for more delicate items.

Auto extra dry

Temperature normal. This programme is for

items that are particularly diﬃcult to dry, such as

oﬀthe heat once the load is dry but before it is

bone dry. The Auto dry programme shuts oﬀthe

heat slightly later than Auto normal dry. Use trial

and error to ﬁnd out what works best.

Auto normal dry

Temperature normal. These programmes shut

oﬀthe heat once the load is dry but before it is

bone dry. The Auto dry programme shuts oﬀthe

heat slightly later than Auto normal dry. Use trial

and error to ﬁnd out what works best.

Auto extra dry (low temperature)

This programme is for items that are particularly

diﬃcult to dry, such as jeans with very thick

seams.

Auto dry (low temperature)

These programmes shut oﬀthe heat once the

load is dry but before it is bone dry. The Auto

dry programme shuts oﬀthe heat slightly later

than Auto normal dry. Use trial and error to ﬁnd

out what works best.

Auto normal dry (low temperature)

These programmes shut oﬀthe heat once the

load is dry but before it is bone dry. The Auto

dry programme shuts oﬀthe heat slightly later

than Auto normal dry. Use trial and error to ﬁnd

out what works best.

load is just damp enough for ironing or pressing.

Select a programme by turning the programme selector. The selected programme is shown in the

display window.
