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

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

Main power switch

Program selector Display window

Start Stop

Select a program by pressing the up or down arrow button. The name of the selected program and the

program time are shown in the display window. Press the button in the middle of the program selector if

you want 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.

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.

Jeans

Program for jeans and clothing with very thick

seams. Delayed Start can be selected as an

option.

Synthetics

Gentle program for synthetics. Delayed Start can

be selected as an option.

Terry towels

Program intended for large and small loads of

thick terry cloth, such as towels and bathrobes.

Down

Gentle program that dries down items completely.

Can be used to dry up to three pillows or one quilt.

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 program time by pressing the program

selector until the symbol is highlighted. Press

the up or down arrow button to set the desired

program time.

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.
