IMPORTANT INFORMATION ON USING THE TUMBLE DRYER

Sort and prepare laundry before
drying
Sort laundry to be dried according to fabric type (see
label on each item) and desired degree of dryness.
Close all zips and tie all strings. Close pillowcases and
quilt covers to prevent small items from getting
tangled inside them.
Never tumble dry the following:
Particularly delicate items such as synthetic
curtains, silk and nylon stockings.
Items containing rubber foam or materials similar
to rubber foam.
Woollens or mixed-wool garments, as these will
shrink and felt.
Do not tumble dry items treated with
inflammable liquids (petrol, methylated
spirits, dry cleaning fluid) to avoid fire risks.

Starched fabrics

Starched fabrics may also be dried in this appliance.
To obtain the best results, select 'iron dry' drying time
with residual dampness. When the cycle has been
completed, clean tumble dryer drum with a damp
cloth and then with a dry cloth in order to remove any
remaining starch.

Shrinking

Some items (such as shirts and the like) may easily
shrink to a greater or lesser extent. This is due to the
fact that these items are 'suspended' inside the tumble
dryer, as opposed to being hung on a washing line to
dry, which is usually the case.
Do not over-dry these items. Select 'iron dry' drying
time for these items.
The labels on the garments indicate exactly which drying method to choose.

What is fluff?

When you begin to use your tumble dryer, you will be
surprised at the amount of fluff that accumulates in the
fluff filter.
This is perfectly normal and does not mean that the
tumble dryer is damaging the laundry being dried.
When the tumble dryer is being used, as well as when
items are washed by hand or in a washing machine,
fibres and fluff are released by any laundry item and
adhere to its surface. This also happens when fabrics
are hung out to dry in outdoor environments. In a
tumble dryer fibres and fluff accumulate in the fluff
filter and increase in volume because of the heat
inside the appliance.
Time and energy consumption
Energy consumption and drying times vary according
to the quantity, residual dampness after spinning, size
and nature of the fabrics being dried and the degree of
dryness.
If the appliance is overloaded, mediocre drying results
will be obtained and the laundry will be creased.
In order to reduce energy consumption and drying
times, it is necessary to spin the laundry adequately.
The use is recommended of a washing machine
capable of spinning laundry at a speed of 800 rpm or
more.
Garments which are not ironed, such as shirts, must
also be spun for 10 - 30 seconds before they are dried
in the tumble dryer.
