PREPARING THE LOAD

Before using the tumble dryer for the first time:
● Please read this instruction book thoroughly.
● Remove all items packed inside drum.
● Wipe the inside of the drum and door with a
damp cloth to remove any dust which may have
settled in transit.
Clothes Preparation
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.
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 Tumble Dry:
Silk, nylon stockings, delicate embroidery,
fabrics with metallic decorations, garments
with PVC or leather trimmings.
IMPORTANT: Do not dry articles which
have been treated with a dry cleaning fluid or
rubber clothes (danger of fire or explosion).
During the last 15 minutes the load is always
tumbled in cool air.
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
● Check that the filter is clean before every
drying cycle.
NEVER
● Put dripping wet items into the tumble dryer,
this may damage the appliance.
Sort the Load as Follows
● By care symbols

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.

when wet exceed the maximum
admissible clothes load (for example:
sleeping bags, duvets).
