that they don't get tangled.

Maximum drying weight

Preparing the load

Do not overload

the drum, large

items when wet

can exceed the

maximum

admissible

clothes load

(for example:

sleeping bags,

duvets).

40006040.qxd 03/07/2009 10:37 Page 8

Sort the load as follows:

●By care symbols

seam:

Tumble drying at low temperature only.

Do not tumble dry.

If the item does not have a care label it

must be assumed that it is not suitable

for tumble drying.

●By amount and thickness

Whenever the load is bigger than the dryer

capacity, separate clothes according to

thickness (e.g. towels from thin underwear).

●By type of fabric

Cottons/linen: Towels, cotton jersey, bed and

table linen.

Synthetics: Blouses, shirts, overalls, etc.

made of polyester or polyamid, as well as

for cotton/synthetic mixes.

●By drying level

decorations, garments with PVC or leather

trimmings, training shoes, bulky items such as

Energy saving

the laundry the shorter the drying time thus

saving electricity.

this will save time and electricity.

●Check that the filter is clean before every

drying cycle.

NEVER

●Exceed the maximum weight, this will waste

time and electricity.

●Put dripping wet items into the tumble

dryer, this may damage the appliance.
