Drying programmes

125987721_EN.qxp 2007-07-02 09:36 Page 8

Before loading the laundry

Never tumble dry the following: Particularly

delicate items such as net curtains, woollen,

silk, fabrics with metal trim, nylon tights,

bulky materials such as anoraks, blankets,

eiderdowns, sleeping bags, feather quilts

and any items containing rubber foam or

materials similar to rubber foam.

• Always follow the instructions on garment

labels:

may be tumble dried

normal drying (high temperature)

delicate drying (low temperature)

do not tumble dry

• Close pillowcases and covers with fasteners

to prevent small laundry items getting tan-

gled inside them. Close press studs, zips

and hooks and tie belts and apron strings.

• Sort laundry according to type and degree

on drying required.

• Do not over-dry laundry, this avoids creas-

ing and saves energy.

• Avoid drying dark clothes with light coloured

fluffy items such as towels as they could

attract the fluff.

• The laundry must be thoroughly spun

before tumble drying.

• Easy-care items, too, e.g. shirts, should be

briefly pre-spun before drying (depending

on crease resistance approx. 30 seconds or

using the special brief spin programme on

your washing machine).

• Knitted textiles (knitted underwear) may

shrink a little during drying. Please do not

overdry items of this type. It is advisable to

allow for shrinkage when choosing the size

of new purchases.

• You can also put starched items into your

dryer. However, to achieve the desired

starched effect, choose the programme

“iron dry”. To remove any starch residues,

wipe out the internal drum after drying with

a moist cloth and then rub it dry.

• To avoid a static charge when drying is

completed, use either a fabric softener

when you are washing the laundry or a fab-

ric conditioner specifically for tumble dryers.

• Remove the laundry when the dryer has fin-

ished drying.

• If individual items are still damp after drying,

set a brief post-drying time, but at least 30

minutes. This will be necessary particularly

for multilayered items (e.g. collars, pockets,

etc.).

Before the first use

Ensure that the electrical connections comply with the installation instructions.

• Remove the polystryrene block and any material from the drum.

• Before using your tumble dryer for the first time, we recommend that you place a few damp

cloths inside the appliance and dry for 30 minutes.

There may be dust inside a brand new tumble dryer.

Drying hints

125987721_EN.qxp 2007-07-02 09:36 Page 9

Make sure that no metal objects are left in

the laundry (e.g. hair clips, safety pins,

pins).

Button up pillowcases, close zip fasteners,

hooks and poppers. Tie any belts or long

tapes.

To avoid laundry becoming tangled: close

zips, button up duvet covers and tie loose

ties or ribbons (e.g. of aprons). Turn items

with double-layered fabrics inside out (e.g.

with cotton lined anoraks, the cotton layer

should be outermost). These fabrics will

then dry better.

Maximum loads

Recommended loads are indicated in the pro-

gramme charts.

General rules:

Cotton, linen: drum full but not too tightly

packed;

Synthetics: drum no more than half full;

Delicate fabrics and woollens: drum no

more than one third full.

Try to load to the maximum capacity of the

machine as small loads are uneconomical.

Laundry weights

The following weights are indicative:

bathrobe 1200 g

napkin 100 g

quilt cover 700 g

sheet 500 g

pillow case 200 g

tablecloth 250 g
