Experience will help you to dry the laundry
better. Take note of the duration of the cycles
done before.
To avoid the static charge at the end of the
drying cycle:
1. Use fabric conditioner in the washing
cycle.
2. Use special fabric conditioner for tumble
dryers.
When the drying programme is completed
remove the laundry promptly.
After each cycle, keep the door and the
detergent dispenser slightly ajar to get air
circulation and dry the humidity inside the
appliance: this will prevent mildew and
odours.
If the appliance is not used for a long time:
close the water tap and unplug the appliance.
