2. Select the drying time
P0627
3. When drying is completed
The machine stops automatically and the mains-on
light goes out.
If the laundry is still too damp, select a further brief
drying time, bearing in mind that during the last 12 mi-
nutes the dryer carries out the cooling and anticrease
treatment phase.
Remove the clothes from the machine.
Clean the filter after every drying programme. A
clean filter ensures correct functioning of the
appliance.

Never tumble dry the following:
Particularly delicate items such as net curtains,
woollen, silk, fabrics with metal trim, nylon tights,
bulky materials such as anoraks, blankets, eider-
downs, sleeping bags, feather quilts and any items
containing rubber foam or materials similar to rub-
ber foam.
Always follow the instructions on garment labels.
Tumble dry normal (high temperature)
Tumble dry delicate (low temperature)
Do not tumble dry
Close pillowcases and covers with fasteners to
prevent small laundry items getting tangled inside
them. Close press studs, zips and hooks and tie
belts and apron strings.
Sort laundry according to type and degree of dry-
ing 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.
Remove the laundry when the dryer has finished
drying.
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.
Laundry Shrinkage
Certain fabrics such as woollens and silks are gener-
ally not suitable for tumble drying. Due to the struc-
ture of some woollen garments which are recom-
mended for tumble drying, shrinking could still occur,
but once the garment is worn again, it should regain
its shape.
Starched Laundry
Starched laundry can also be dried in the tumble
dryer. Make sure that the time selected is for iron dry.
After completion of the programme wipe out the drum
with a damp cloth and dry to remove any traces of
starch.
