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 lint caught in the lint filter con-

sists of dust and fibre residue that has been for-

med when wearing the garments.

Material which should not be tumble-

dried

Thissymbolindicatesthat the material will not

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.

TYPE OF FABFIC LOAD TEMPERATURE

White, coloured Cotton and 1/1 (6.0 kg) Normal

and synthetic linen

Polyester/ 1/2 (3.0 kg) Normal

cotton

Delicate and Acrylic, rayon, 1/2 (3.0 kg) Low

mild acetate etc.

Sort a suitable amount and type of fabric.

PROGRAMMES

Yourchoiceofprogrammewilldependonwhat

you wish to do with the fabrics after tumble

drying.TheavailableprogrammesareExtradry,

Dry, Normal dry, Iron dry, Timed dry and Air

fluff.

Extra dry

Thisprogrammeis designed for washing thatis

extremely difficult to dry, eg, jeans with very

thick seams.

NOTE

Knittedfabricsinparticularareliabletoshrink.

Use the Dry, Normal dry or Iron dry program-

meforthesematerials.Always stretch garments

out directly after drying.

Dry, Normal dry

These programmes turn off the heat when the

washing is dry, but not bone-dry.

The Dry programme turns off the heat a litt-

lelater than Normaldry. Choosewhat youpre-

fer by trial and error. Use these programmes

when you want dry fabrics.

Iron dry

This programme turns off the heat when the

washingisjustdampenoughforironingormang-

ling.

Timed dry

The programme 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.

When using a timed dry programme with

mixed washing it may happen that some of the

items will not be sufficiently dried. Such items

cansuitablyby driedbyrunningthe timedpro-

gramme for a further 10 minutes or so.

Timed dry programmes automatically opera-

tes at temperature Low, but you can change it

yourself to Normal.

NOTE

Whenusingatimedprogrammeitispossibleto

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

Use the air fluff programme just to shake dust

out of garments, air them or soften them up.

To select Timed dry or Air fluff , see Chapter

10, Making own drying programmes.

OPTIONS

Cooling

You can choose between Normal cooling and

Quick cooling. Normal cooling lasts 20 minu-

tes and Quick cooling lasts 5 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 programme is completed.
