7BEFORETUMBLEDRYING

Before you start tumble drying, here is some

advice that can be useful.

SPIN-DRIED?

Items that are to be tumble dried should first

bespin-dried, preferablyat800revsperminute

or more. Better spin drying saves both energy

anddryingtime.

RECOMMENDED WASHING MARKING

Material suitable for tumble drying

The symbol above indicates that the material

can be tumble-dried. Cotton fabrics, towelling

and synthetic fibres are best suited to tumble

drying. Clothes and fabrics become softer and

fluffier when tumble-dried than when dried on

a line.

NOTE

Wear and tear of fabrics in a tumble dryer is

minimal.The v caught in the lint filter consists

of dust and fibre residue that has been formed

when wearing the garments.

Material which should not be tumble-

dried

Thissymbolindicatesthat the materialwillnot

withstandtumble-drying.

Certain materials will melt or become dan-

gerously flammable if heated, while others will

loose their shape or shrink.

Do not tumble-dry...

• Materials that are marked “Do not dry close

to heat”.

• Items that have been dry-cleaned at home.

• Foam plastic.

• Glass-fibre materials

• Woollen items, because of the risk of felting.

SORTING FABRICS

Best results are obtained if all articles are of the

same material.

Close zip-fasteners, button up garments, tie

belts, and sort the fabrics and adapt the load

and the temperature as shown in the table be-

low.

PROGRAMS

Extra dry

This program is designed for washing that is

extremely difficult to dry, eg, jeans with very

thick seams.

NOTE

Knitted fabrics in particular are

liabletoshrink.UsetheDry,Nor-

mal dry or Iron dry program for

these materials. Always stretch

garments out directly after dry-

ing.

TYPE OF FABFIC LOAD TEMPERATURE

and synthetic linen

Polyester/ 1/2 (2.5 kg) Normal

cotton

Delicate and Acrylic, rayon, 1/2 (2.5 kg) Low

Sort a suitable amount and type of fabric.

Dry, Normal dry

Theseprogramsturnofftheheatwhenthewash-

ing is dry, but not bone-dry.

The Dry program turns off the heat a little

later than Normal dry. Choose what you prefer

bytrial anderror. Usetheseprogramswhenyou

want dry fabrics.

Iron dry

Thisprogram turnsofftheheatwhenthewash-

ing is just damp enough for ironing or mang-

ling.

Timed dry program

The program length that you should choose

depends on what you wish to do with the fa-

brics after tumble drying. Dry different times

for different materials to find the right combi-

nation.

Whenusingatimeddryprogramwithmixed

washing it may happen that some of the items

will not be sufficiently dried. Such items can

suitablybydriedbyrunningthetimedprogram

for a further 10 minutes or so.

Timed dry programs automatically operates

attemperature Low,butyou can changeityour-

self to Normal.

NOTE

When using a timed program it is possible to

over-dry fabrics if you set too long a time.This

can cause fabrics to shrink or crease and feel

rough.Syntheticmaterialscanalsobecomechar-

ged with static electricity. Set a shorter time if

you tumble dry at temperature Normal.

Air fluff program

Use the air fluff program just to shake dust out

of garments, air them or soften them up.

To select Timed dry program or Air fluff pro-

gram,seeChapter 10,Makingown dryingpro-

grams.

OPTIONS

Cooling

You can choose between Normal cooling and

Quick cooling. Normal cooling lasts 20 minu-

tes and Quick cooling lasts 15 minutes.

Buzzer

The machine offers you the possibility of hea-

ring when the cooling period ends. Set the op-

tion Buzzer ON and it will sound for three

seconds when the program is completed.

Anti-crease program

UsingtheAnti-creaseprogram you canprevent

garments from lying still and becoming unne-

cessarily creased at the end of tumble drying.

This is a helpful option if you cannot take out

garments promptly at the end of the tumbling

phase.

You canchoosea programduration of1,2 or

3 hours.The drum will then continue to rotate

intermittently, ie, three seconds every minute

for the number of hours chosen.

IfyouchooseBuzzerON,asignalwillsound

each time the drum rotates.

To choose these options, see Chapter 10, Ma-

kingowndryingprograms.
