Laundry labels

Certain materials are not suitable for

tumble-drying. Always check and follow the

instructions on each item’s laundry label. You can

find more information in the Advice and tips before

you tumble-dry chapter.

NOTE!

When starting the tumble dryer for the first time

or after a long period without use, you may notice

a slight thumping noise. This noise is completely

normal and will disappear after a few loads.

Before using your machine for the first time

Read the operating instructions and

keep them in a safe place!

• Electrical installation, if required, should be

carried out by a qualified electrician.

• The machine should only be used for

tumble-drying as described in these

instructions.

• Repairs and maintenance must be carried out

• Do not dry dirty laundry in the tumble dryer.

• Items that are stained with e.g. cooking oil,

acetone, alcohol, petrol, kerosene, stain

remover, turpentine, wax and wax remover

should be washed in hot water with extra

detergent before they go in the tumbler dryer.

• Items such as foam rubber, latex, plastic,

waterproof textiles, rubber-coated items and

clothes and foam-rubber filled cushions must

not be dried in the tumbler dryer.

• Fabric softener or similar products should be

used as per the recommendations of the

detergent manufacturer.

• The machine is not designed to be used by

persons (even children) that are physically or

mentally handicapped or lack experience and

knowledge. Such persons must receive

instruction in how to use the machine from the

person responsible for their safety.

• Children must be watched to ensure they do

not play with the machine.

Safety

•The machine must not be used for drying items

the winter in unheated premises, make sure that

you drain the condensed water container

beforehand.

Packing material

Sort waste materials in accordance with local

guidelines.

Recycling

This machine is manufactured and labelled for

recycling. In order to prevent personal injury, the

machine must be made inoperable after deciding

to take it out of service. Contact your local

authority for information about where and how

your machine should be correctly recycled.

Safety instructions

To minimize the risk of fire in a

tumble dryer, the following should

be observed:

• Items that have been spotted or soaked with

vegetable or cooking oil constitute a fire hazard

and should not be placed in a tumble dryer.

Oil-affected items can ignite spontaneously,

especially when exposed to heat sources such

as in a tumble dryer. The items become warm,

causing an oxidation reaction in the oil.

Oxidation creates heat. If the heat cannot

escape, the items can become hot enough to

catch fire. Piling, stacking or storing oil-affected

items can prevent heat from escaping and so

create a fire hazard. If it is unavoidable that

fabrics that contain vegetable or cooking oil or

have been contaminated by hair care products

be placed in a tumble dryer they should first

be washed in hot water with extra detergent -

this will reduce, but not eliminate, the hazard.

The ’cool down’ cycle of tumble dryers should

be used to reduce the temperature of the items.

They should not be removed from the tumble

dryer or piled or stacked while hot.

• Items that have been previously cleaned in,

washed in, soaked in or spotted with

petrol/gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents or other

flammable or explosive substances should not

be placed in a tumble dryer. Highly flammable

substances commonly used in domestic

environments include acetone, denatured

alcohol, petrol/gasoline, kerosene, spot

removers (some brands), turpentine, waxes

and wax removers.

• Items containing foam rubber (also known as

latex foam) or similarly textured rubberlike

materials should not be dried in a tumble dryer

on a heat setting. Foam rubber materials can,

when heated, produce fire by spontaneous

combustion.

•Fabric softeners or similar products should not

be used in a tumble dryer to eliminate the

effects of static electricity unless this practice

is specifically recommended by the

manufacturer of the fabric softener or product.

• Undergarments that contain metal

reinforcements should not be placed in a

tumbledryer. Damage to the tumble dryer can

result if metal reinforcements come loose

during drying. When available a drying rack

could be used for such items.

•Plastic articles such as shower caps or babies’

waterproof napkin covers should not be placed

in a tumble dryer. Rubber-backed articles,

clothes fitted with foam rubber pads, pillows,

galoshes and rubber-coated tennis shoes

should not be placed in a tumble dryer.

Vented dryers

• There has to be adequate ventilation to avoid

the back flow of gases into the room from

appliances burning other fuels, including open

fires, when operating the tumble dryer.

• The exhaust air must not be discharged into a

flue which is used for exhausting fumes from

appliances burning gas or other fuels.

CAUTION!

Air from the tumble dryer must not be fed through

ducts used for equipment that burns gas or other

fuels.

Safety instructions

General

WARNING!

Do not allow children to play with

the tumble dryer.

• If the door is opened when a program is

running the garments may be very hot, with a

risk of burn injuries.

• The tumble dryer does not start automatically

when the door is closed (if a child pulls the

door shut from the inside, for example).

Description of the tumble dryer

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 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 program is stopped and

starts from the beginning if restarted.

If you do not want to restart the program then

immediately remove all laundry and spread it out

to allow the heat to dissipate.

Advice and tips before you tumble-dry

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.

2Press the main power switch

until the display lights.

3Open the door, load the items

and then close the door

4Select the program

Program selector Start Stop

Display window

Options buttons

Select a program by turning the program selector. An LED lights next to the selected program. Use the

option buttons to select any options.

Guidelines as to what specific programs

can be used for:

Auto extra dry

This program is for items that are particularly

difficult to dry, e.g. jeans with very thick seams.

NOTE!

Knitted fabrics in particular are prone to

shrinkage. Use the Auto extra dry, Auto normal

dry or Auto Iron dry programs for these items.

Stretch clothes back into shape immediately

after drying.

Auto dry and Auto normal dry

These programs end automatically when the load

is dry. The Auto dry program gives slightly drier

laundry than Auto normal dry.

Auto Iron dry

This program shuts off the heat once the load is

just damp enough for ironing or pressing.

Timed dry

The most suitable program time depends on what

you intend to do with the items after tumble-drying

them. Use trial and error to find out what works

best. When you use Timed dry to tumble-dry a

load of mixed fabrics, some of the garments may

remain damp. Tumble-dry any damp garments

for a further 30 minutes or so using the Timed dry

program.

Select the desired time by pressing the Delayed

Start button. A program time between 30 minutes

and 3 hours can be selected and each button

press changes the time by 15 minutes.

NOTE!

When using the Timed dry program with a

program time that is too long, the garments can

become “over-dry”. This can cause items to

shrink or crease and feel rough to the touch.

Synthetic materials can also become charged

with static electricity.

Revitalise

Use the Air fluff program when you just want to

refresh, air or soften up items.

Select the desired time by pressing the Delayed

Start button. A program time between 15 minutes

and 3 hours can be selected and each button

press changes the time by 15 minutes.
