Modifying the programme
To change a programme which is running, first cancel it by turning programme selector dial to "off ". Select
the new programme and press the "Start" button.
Never tumble dry the following :Particularly delicate items such as net curtains ,woolen ,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:
Close pillowcases and covers with fasteners to prevent small laundry items getting tangled inside
Close press studs, zips and hooks and tie belts and apron strings. Sort laundry according to type and
degree of drying required.
Do not over-dry laundry, this avoids creasing 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.
Knitted textiles(knitted underwear) may shringk a little during drying. Please do not over-dry 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 fabric conditioner specifically for tumble dryers.
Remove the laundry when the dryer has finished 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.)
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 cottonlined anoraks ,the cotton layer should be outermost) .These fabrics will then dry better .
Remove all objects from pockets such as lighters and matches .
Recommended loads are indicated in the program 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 quarter full.
Try to load the maximum capacity of the machine as small loads are uneconomical .
