Advice and tips before you tumble-dry

Here are some tips that may help you before
you begin tumble-drying.
Have the clothes been spun?
Items to be tumble-dried should be spun at
1000 rpm or faster. Higher spin speeds save
energy and reduce drying time.

Materials that can be tumble-dried

This symbol means that the material is
suitable for tumble-drying. Fabrics best suited
to tumble-drying are cotton fabrics, terry cloth
and synthetic fi bres. Garments will be softer and
lighter when tumbled than when hung out to dry.
NOTE!
The tumble dryer does not cause any signifi cant
wear on fabrics. The lint that collects in the lint
fi lter consists of dust and fi bre residues formed
when the items are used.
Materials that must not be tumble-
dried
This symbol means that the material is not
suitable for tumble-drying. Certain materials
may melt or become a fi re hazard if exposed to
heat, and others can lose their shape or shrink.
And do not tumble-dry
• materials labelled "Do not dry near heat".
• garments that have been dry-cleaned at
home.
• plastic foam.
• fi breglass material.
• wool must not be tumble-dried because of
the risk of felting.

Static electricity

To reduce the risk of static electricity in the
laundry after tumble drying you can:
• Use fabric softener when washing.
• Wait fi ve minutes after the drying program
ends before opening the door and removing
the laundry from the dryer.
NOTE!
You can stop the tumble dryer by pressing the
Stop button for three seconds or by opening the
door. In both cases the programme is stopped
and starts from the beginning if restarted.
If you do not want to restart the programme then
immediately remove all laundry and spread it
out to allow the heat to dissipate.
