4 When drying is completed
The machine stops automatically, 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 8 min-
utes the dryer carries out the cooling and anti-crease
treatment phase.
When the programme has finished you are advised to
unplug the appliance
Clean the filter after every drying programme. A
clean filter ensures correct functioning of the
appliance.
Open the door by pulling
it outward.
Load the items one at a
time, shaking them out
loosely and close the
door.
Please check the laundry
does not get caught
between the door and
filter.
Turn the selector dial
clockwise to the required
minute setting (in the high
or low temperature range,
according to the fabric):
the mains-on light illumi-
nates and the ma- chine
starts operating.

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 structure
of some woollen garments which are recommended
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.
