Preparing the load

Before using the dryer for the first time
wipe the inside of the drum and door with a
damp cloth.
Make sure that the laundry you are going to
dry is suitable for drying in a tumble dryer,
as shown by the care symbols on each item.

Clothes preparation

Check that all fastenings are closed and that
pockets are empty. Turn the articles inside
out. Place clothes loosely in the drum to
make sure that they don't get tangled.
Do not overload the drum, particularly
when drying large items, otherwise, the
laundry may stick to the drum and not dry
evenly.

Maximum drying weight

Cottons Max. 6 kg
Synthetics Max. 3 kg
Sort the load as follows:
A) By care symbols
On the collar or inside seam:

B) By amount and thickness
Whenever the load is bigger than the
dryer capacity, separate clothes
according to thickness (e.g. towels
from thin underwear).
C) By type of fabric

bed and table linen.
Synthetics: Blouses, shirts, overalls,
etc. made of polyester or polyamid, as
well as for cotton/synthetic mixes.

For delicate articles press the
'DELICATES' ( ) button to select
low drying temperature.
Do not tumble dry:
Woollens, silk, delicate fabrics, nylon
stockings, delicate embroidery, fabrics
with metallic decorations, garments with
PVC or leather trimmings, training shoes,
bulky items such as sleeping bags, etc.
IMPORTANT: Do not dry articles
which have been treated with a dry
cleaning fluid or rubber clothes (danger
of fire or explosion).

Energy saving

Only put into the tumble dryer laundry
which has been thoroughly wrung or
spin-dried. The drier the laundry the shorter
the drying time thus saving electricity.
ALWAYS try to dry the maximum weight
of laundry, this will save time and
electricity.
NEVER exceed the maximum weight, this
will waste time and electricity.
ALWAYS check that the filter is clean
before every drying cycle.
NEVER put dripping wet items into the
tumble dryer, this may damage the
appliance.
ALWAYS ensure that the covers are fitted
to the two unused vent outlets, this will
maintain maximum drying performance.
